On a 1997 Ford Explorer : CHECK ENGINE is just to the left of the " C " on the engine coolant temperature gauge ( Helpfull )
After the Explorer is scanned for trouble codes to diagnose and then repair the malfunction , then the check engine light can be reset
When you refuel your PWC it is important to check for gas fumes. You check for fumes before starting the engine and after adding fuel.
Check to see if there is a label inside your fuel filler door indicating that it is a FFV - flexible fuel vehicle, or check your VIN. If the 8th "character" of the VIN is a "K" , that indicates that you have a FFV engine and can use up to 85 % ethanol (E - 85) Otherwise you use regular unleaded fuel which can contain up to 10 % ethanol as long as it meets the 87 octane requirement.
It is possible for the check engine light to come on in a Pontiac Transport when using ethanol gasoline because it burns hotter than other gasoline. The check engine light might also come on if the oxygen sensor is bad.
YES!!!!!YOU SHOULD NEVER RUN A VEHICLE ON ETHANOL THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT IT (HAS A FlexFuel LOGO ON IT!)THIS WILL CAUSE EXTREME DAMAGE TO YOUR ENGINE!
might need to check your engine soon
According to the 2000 Ford Explorer Owner Guide : No , a separate fuse for the check engine light is not listed
P046 (E046) .................................. Right to Left Bank Fueling Difference Check for a leaky injector
The check engine light is the light shaped like an engine, or the light that states Check Engine (Soon). If this light comes on, it is time to see what the issue is with the engine.
If the check engine light is flashing that means an engine cylinder misfire has been detected
If your check engine light is staying on with the engine running , a malfunction has been detected with the emission control system . Have your Explorer scanned for any trouble codes to diagnose and repair the problem
