Help with Code

I started my 10GS after putting on new belt without the Mapp sensor on to check belt. Now I’m getting Check Traction Light and warning on Display.

Will this clear or do I need to take to dealer to clear coeds?

Thanks Robert

It will eventually clear itself. If you want it fixed now you need to have the ECM and EBCM codes cleared.

Why would you start it without a map sensor?2 minute job to install and even if only unplugged clear the codes and your good to go.Massive vacuum leak if map not installed

Maybe I' not naming it right it's the sensor attached to air intake assembly.

Plug it back in and it should clear on it's own after so many ignition cycles or get some one you know that has a scan tool to clear the codes for you.A lot of the auto part stores will clear codes for you at no cost,maybe even dealer you bought belt from.Auto Zone,Pep Boys,Nappa

Auto zone clears codes. Or buy a cheap code reader and do it.

Code should clear on next start up when the system self checks is self every start up, and just stores the old code in history if the problem has been solved.

So if you did start the car up a few times, and the code is still showing/dash light still lite up, you have a problem that you have not solved yet.

Get someone to pull the code(s) that will point you right to the problem(s), and it may at simple as just a connector that was not plugged all the way back in.
