Default Check Engine Light.

Son-of-a-

Check engine light came on last night on my way home from the track. It seems to be running fine though, no loss in power, no strange noises, no shacking or shimmying, no grinding, shifts ok.

I am gonna go pull the codes, I will be back in a while with some numbers looking for help more then likely.

Mine comes and goes.

The codes said intermittent O2 sensor.

I must have gotten a bad tank of gas driving home from Florida last week because my gas gage would go to "E" for awhile and then come back to the correct reading.

I am about to turn 99K miles...

The only two I could see that would make it come on, is

PCM Code
P0137
P0157

but they were both history codes.

Like I said, I was at the track and was pretty spirited coming home, so any thoughts. It is going in this week for an oik change so I may just let them take a look at it.

OH, and it is a 2001 with about 79K on the clock

That's your rear O2 sensors(if your still running rears). Showing a low voltage. Check and clean the connections to them, clear the codes and see if they come back.

I have not checked it yet, but I got gas Thursday afternoon, and the light didn't come on till Saturday after a day of racing, so I figured it would not be that.

Check your gas cap first.

Start your car and drive it a bit... pull over and shut off the engine and re-start. See if it goes away.

Another Question
I was going through the codes in the DIC of my C-5 because I had this check engine light on.
At the same time I was also trying to delete the codes that were only History, not Current, but I probably hit a wrong button and cleared something that was current.
When through, I had no current code issues at all.
Started the engine and now there is no check engine light.

I would suppose that if there is a problem, the car would soon let me know through the DIC and the check engine light would come on again.
Any other thoughts on this ?
Thx
