Default Check Engine Light Came On?

I just installed a set of Headers and Corsa Pace Car exhaust. Went out yesterday for the first time since the install, and after a little highway time the Check Engine light came on. The oil temp, water, and everything else seems fine, so I'm wondering if the engine is just in the "learning" stage with the new exhaust.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance. :skep:

Look in your owners manual for how to check codes through the DIC. It is a series of pushing buttons on the DIC panel.

You will be able to see all the codes in your computer. Be aware that code beginning with H are history.

Once you have a list of codes, if any you can get help here on the forum or even at your local dealership.

Good luck!

Actually, I don't think the Owner's Manual has the steps for getting DIC codes, but the Service Manual does.

You can also go to the forum Tech Section and check out how to read the IPC or DIC codes.


......... Its really not too difficult. Key on, press and hold OPTIONS and press FUEL button 4x. Refer to Tech section for translation of codes.
