Check Engine Light

When I bought my 2001 at Corvettes of Houston a year ago I had them put in a CAGS. Now I am getting an intermittant Check Engine light! Checked the codes and it was for the 1-4 shift. I have seen threads that mention that the CAGS may be fried or at least defective. Any ideas?

Thanks
Mike

Reconnect the oem CAGS connectors and see if the check engine light disappears...

I would also check the connection on it.

I just had to solder a new resistor in mine, the old one had a bad solder joint. Takes about 5 minutes to do.

Also check your gas cap, seems to be the most common cause. (loose)

He said the code referred to the CAGS..."Checked the codes and it was for the 1-4 shift. "

I really don't think the gas cap will give a 1-4 error.

Cags Check Engine Light

I had the same problem a couple weeks back. I called C.O.H and they wanted me to mail the defective unit back to them. They had mentioned a bad connection inside the unit. I'm waiting on the new unit now. Frustrating seeing the Check Engine Light. When I reconnected the stock CAGS the check engine light went off after 2 cruises. Goodluck.

The gas cap input (above) is valid for many cars -- as in my wife's Honda "check engine light" two days ago -- but, doesn't apply to a Vette with this specific error code.
