check engine light
I was coming home tonight on the freeway and the engine went away.
got to the side of the freeway and car would not start.
called AAA and they towed me to the dealer.
The fuel gauge was above empty and DIC showed 50 mile range.
Put gas in at the dealer - (safer than the freeway)
the car started but the check engine light was on.
I got it home and checked the codes
P0131H - HEATED OXEGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE
P0151H - HEATED OXEGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE
What to do now -
can I reset the check engine and see if it was caused by the lack of fuel?
Did I actually run out of fuel?
Or does it need to go in?

Re: check engine light (mx5racer)
I would clear out the codes and see if they come back since you ran it out of gas.
Go here to learn how to get into the diagnostics via. the DIC.
Good luck
