the check engine light could stay on because of other sensors. for example,the Power Steering sensor could be bad...this will cause the engine light to come on and other sensors could cause the engine light to come on. just get rid of the van. most sensors when they go bad cost anywhere from $200-$600 just because of the location of the sensor. manufacture put sensors in hard to reach places to keep you from replacing them,so that you will bring it in to dealer and pay over inflated repair cost.
It turned out to be the alternator going bad. Replaced alternator. No more growling.
Your cooling fans may be coming on or you might have a low temp thermostat. Either way, a cool engine is better than a hot engine.
Have you had your 4 oxygen sensors replaced? It turns out when they replaced my oxygen sensors, they were after market parts so the service engine light did not come and gave codes even though they were replaced.
check your exhaust system there should be a wire running in to your exhaust tat is your o2 sensor good luck There are two o2 sensors, one in the engine and one coming out of the Cat Converter in the exhaust system.
I had all sensors replaced in my 03 Trailblazer and the check engine light stiil comes on. Why?
Of course not. They are screwed into the exhaust system and can be easily replaced.
You can not bypass it. The oxygen sensors are required for a proper running engine.
There are dozens of reasons. But in most cars of this model some sensors just become old and have to be replaced. When sensors fail ECU sets off the check engine light.
In modern vehicles, there are sensors which will prevent the engine from coming on when it is overheated. This is a protection measure.
No not a chance All mounts are WAY different not to mention the PCM and wiring and sensors
It is not supposed to be on when engine is running unless there is a problem.
Faulty sensor get it replaced if not check to make sure wire isn't shorting out
