Default check engine light

has anyone had the check engine light go on?? I just did intake mods ( new blackwing, new Mat sensor, new Maf, new air duct and coupler. car ran fine until I gased up. after refueling the check gauge light went on. all gauges read fine and the Dic shows all pressures and temps good. could this be a glitch related to the fuel sender and if it is does it automatically reset or is there a way to reset the light. the car is a 97 C-5. thanks Jeff wcj :smash: :crazy:

Just guessing, but since it happened after re-fueling, your gas cap might not be closed all the way....open and close your gas cap again making sure that it is closed all the way...

Good luck

Hold down the options button and press the fuel button 4 times. This will bring up the scrolling code list. See what codes were thrown and report back.
