Check Engine Light

Tom if I am not mistaken any autoparts store should have a reader.

I don't know about Texas, but California won't let the autoparts stores do free code reading anymore, it's stupid. If you were closer I have a laptop program with hookups I could check it for you. Let us know what you find!

I went by Coppell Tire and Service, and they did it for me. The code that came up was P1441 evap system blow during non-surge. Anyhow, it has to do with some emission coming from the tank. It might be a loose the gas cap.

Anyhow, they reset the Check Engine light. I then had a great idea. I'll go get my inspection sticker while the light is not on. Turns out when you reset the engine light the emission check comes back as Not Ready. Apparently, it takes a couple of days to read the engine and the emissions. It didn't pass.

I have to go back on Friday to see if its calculating everything and then see if it passes. I have a feeling it will.

Peace.

In Az. they can read them but can't reset the code unless you buy the parts to fix it.

And all over the world, a ScanGauge will do it for you.
