i just changed my batterys out on my truck now my check engine light is on?
Then you may want to have a mechanic check it out.
Did you reset the light? I don't know what gasket you changed, but undoubtedly that was not the problem. The check engine light comes on when there is a problem with the emissions system.
A blinking check engine light on a 2003 Kia Spectra typically indicates a severe issue, such as a misfire in the engine, which can lead to damage if not addressed promptly. It may also signal problems with the ignition system, fuel delivery, or exhaust system. It's important to stop driving the vehicle and have it diagnosed by a mechanic to prevent further damage and ensure safe operation.

changed battery engine light stays on
Your check engine light will not come on because your coolant needs to be changed. The only way to be totally sure why it is on you should get it checked with a computer at a dealer or service station. The check engine light may come on if it is over heating because there is no coolant in it but not if it just has to be changed.

To reset the check engine light on a 2009 KIA Spectra, you can disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 10-15 minutes, which will clear the engine codes stored in the ECU. Alternatively, you can use an OBD-II scanner to read and clear the codes directly. However, it's essential to address the underlying issue that triggered the light before resetting it to avoid potential engine damage. After resetting, if the light returns, have the vehicle diagnosed for any persistent issues.
