Default Check Engine Light on 04 Z06

409 miles and the check engine light comes on and stays on ! Belts good, Oil pressure fine, Alt putting out. No leaks, Coolant fine. Anyone encounter this problem with such low miles ? If so can you please advise what the problem was. Thanks Joey :steering:

...You probably thought of it but, is the fuel cap on tight?

Is it stock? I had the same thing happen on mine after I put on the Blackwing. When I checked the codes, I was getting lean bank history codes. After I cleared the code the check engine light went away. This happened a few times, mainly during the Spring, and hasn't happened in a few thousand miles over the Summer.

Thanks Michael, The car is stock. I didn`t clear any codes yet, but had a 10 PCM 1 Code readiing and a 28 TCS 1 code, and several history codes.I don`t know at this time what the reference for these codes are. Do you remember the lean bank history codes ? Thanks Joey

I threw a code last week and it turned out to be a fuel evap sensor. I cleared it and it has not returned. Don't know what caused it because I always shut the car off when refueling and always tighten the cap.

How do you check the codes? How do you clear them?

you will have many, many codes over the life of your Vette. 99% will be absolutely non meaningful. Notate the code, clear the code and drive. If it becomes persistent over time, then start to worry.

Thanks guys. :cheers: Other than the history codes I have 2 others:
P0420 H C
P0430 H C

Does the "C" mean that's the code setting off the light right now? What is the "TWC system"?

:confused:

I reset it, it's probably from the cats. I'd still like to know what the code is though. Thanks for posting that link. :seeya

Mine came on on the way home from the dealer with 30 miles on the odometer. It was the O2 sensor that was replaced by the dealer the next day.
