You replaced the cap and it will take quite a few driving cycles for the light to go off if that was the culprit. Try disconnecting the negative battery cable for 5 minutes and that might reset the light.
There is another cause for the code.
I am having the same issue AFTER replacing the torque converter and switch in the transmission. My check engine light was coming on with the transaxle light and the code read to replace these items BUT the transaxle light is still coming on. I am still trying to get an answer on this!
To reset the check engine light unplug the battery for 30 minutes. If the issues still persists the light will still light up when reattached.
VTEC may or may not work when the check engine light is on. It depends on why the check engine light is one. If it is on because of a problem with the VTEC system, then, no, it will not work properly.
Go to Auto Zone and they will check you engine light for FREE... And go from there...
Give us more info like the year, make, model and engine info. Do you have a check engine light illuminated? If so what are the codes? Have you tested for fuel pressure and fuel flow? Have you replaced the fuel filter?
Yeah, it can. If something is wrong with your emmision control system, your car can still fail emmisons, but the check engine light doesn't have to be on.
i have a 2007 carolla that has been fully services and the check engine light is still on. there is nothing wrong with it.. How do I get it off?
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.
Yes. The code should still be there.
Check the engine oil, sometimes when the oil is low the check engine light comes on while sitting still and goes out when you accelarate.
There is no reset button for the check engine light. It must be reset with an OBD scan tool.
