Check Engine Light
I was trying to trouble shoot my ticking issue, and was pulling injectors. As expected, it lit up the light in the cluster. Is this something that has to be reset by a dealer or will it go away in a few miles. I drove about 30 miles to work this morning and it stayed on the whole way. I also didn't find a way to clear it through the DIC.
EDIT: there are no codes on the DIC either
Thanks

Did you cycle through all the modules and errors? Usually these things clear after so many starts with no error occurring, but now knowing the error hard to tell. Maybe a battery disconnect is in order to reset things.

Disconnecting the battery will do NOTHING to erase codes. DTCs are stored in teh PCM and BCM in non-volatile memory. You can disconnect the battery for a YEAR and the codes will be there when you power the car back up.

If the CHECK ENGINE light was illuminated itt will be in the PCM as an H code. Read the procedure I gave you above to understand how to display the DTCs. You MUST perform the procedure to display the codes, they don't display on the DIC without the OPTIONS/FUEL sequence. You have to have codes in the PCM so you're not doing something right.
