Yes. The code should still be there.
Use an automotive computer code-scanner to read the stored code. Then you'll know why the "check engine" light is on.
You need to check your engine. The computer has detected a problem with the engine management system and the light is letting you know that is has error codes stored.
The check engine light is reset with a scan tool after repairing the failure that caused the trouble codes to be stored in the computer.
"Check Engine" usually means that the computer has stored a diagnostic code. Use a code scanner to find information about the stored code.
No, old or pending malfunction codes are stored in the computer and can be recalled when the computer is accessed.
Have vehicle scanned to have stored codes erased
If the check engine light is still on there is still a problem. When you fix the problem the light will go out by its self and the fault code will stay in the ecm as a stored code until it's reset.
That usually means there is a "stored code". When the computer detects an engine "fault" a code is stored that can tell you what's wrong. Use a code scanner and find out what's wrong. If you repair the problem, the light will go off.
You may think there is nothing wrong but there is. If the check engine light is on there will be codes stored in the ECM. Have the codes read. The codes will help you determine what the cause is.
You first have to repair the failure that caused the code stored in the engine computer. Then the light can be cleared with a scan tool.
There are many reasons why a check engine light could come on following a timing belt change. When the check engine light comes on there is a code stored in the computer to tell you why the light came on. Most auto parts stores will read the code for free.
That is the check engine light.That is the check engine light.
