Re: CAGS disconnected now Check Engine Light is on. (BlackBlur)
Did you just disconnect it, or did you also put in a resistor or CAGS eliminator device?
If not resistor, goto Radio Shack and pick up a 2.2Kohm 1/2 watt resistor and put it in where you unplugged the CAGS wire.

Boy that's wierd ! I wouldn't think that would cause the check engine light to come on - it has nothing to do with engine functions just the tranny !! :confused: :crazy:

"Check Engine" is what will appear when the cags is disconnected. As mentioned above, you need a bypass or the resister installed to simulate the solenoid so it appears all is functioning correctly. Don't forget to seal the socket in the transmission where the plug was pulled. :flag

:withstupid:
I did what Thunder7 describes and no issues, no light. Wrapped a baggie around the connections and taped it up tight.
And you get 5 extra resistors (they come 6 for $.99). :eek:

Just get one of the CAGS eliminators and the light will go out.

Thanks for the help. Just so I am clear on the resistor, do I plug it into the connector attached to the wire or into the tranny where the CAGS wire was connected? Thanks again. :confused:
