Congrats on your Job and Happy Birthday !


Sorry to hear this about your friend....I hope he makes a full recovery & everything works out well for him.

It's good to be there for him and show him your support.

 

Happy New Year everyone ! Stay safe and keep it out of the ditch ya'll.

 

Saw an Ariel Atom wrecked on Rowlett Rd today right where it turns into firewheel pkwy. Kinda made me wanna cry...

 

Bummer....I wonder if it was the one that shows up for some of the AutoX events....was it Blue & Yellow ?

 

Happy New Year everyone! Unfortunately I had the pleasure of throwing a CEL at 3am on new years :/

 

I didn't get a very good look since I was driving on the other side if the road and the police were there but it definately had yellow

 

Sure is quiet . Hang over Saturday ?

 

Still wasn't feeling 100% ...but went to neighbors house and barely made it to midnight .....only drank 1 beer ....And I was home and in bed by 12:15.

MY wife stayed and did shots of Patron while I left.

Slept in 'til about noon....now I am finally feeling a bit better.....this crud has lingered on forever.

I hope everyone had a good time & was safe !

 

I was asleep by 1100. Us old folk.... the next day hangover gets worse and.stays.

 

So I went to sleep around 4. Woke up at 11 and we found one guy completely drunk, mixing music and dancing. He never went to sleep. When I went to sleep he wasn't even that drunk...

 

Hey guys, I figured out what my CEL was for and I fixed the problem, but I am still seeing the CEL. From what I've read, I need to reset the CEL to see if the problem has really been fixed, but I'm not sure how. Any help?

 

I've done this before myself and it seemed to work...however, there are many disputes over it really working.

I have heard you can actually disconnect the negative battery terminal for like 12 hrs and purge any stored electricity by hitting brake pedal. ..... I would do a search for ECU reset.

anyways...here is the one from Technosquare.

It should reset after driving for a while, at least mine always has. Last time I had to drive for like 110 miles before it finally turned itself off. Of course now it's back on but for something different. Anybody know what a P/N position sensor is. I was thinking park/ neutral position sensor but I have a six speed.

 

You want to reset your CEL? Follow my steps as-is.

-Put your key to ON position (don't start) for 3 seconds
-Stomp on accelerator pedal to the floor 5 times within 5 seconds
-Wait 7 seconds
-Stomp and hold accelerator pedal to the floor for 10 seconds
*if you have CEL code, it'll start blinking here to tell you which one (you count the blinks)
-Wait 10 seconds
-Stomp and hold accelerator pedal to the floor for 10 seconds
-Take key out of ignition

^tip: If you have your driver's door open, the key-in-ignition-when-door-ajar beeps every second. Count along with the beep for accuracy.



Taking out your battery method, is iffy. I wouldn't believe that to do anything. The ECU is probably flash memory, which means that draining the battery doesn't do anything to its data. You have to physically reset it yourself. BTW, if you want to do the disconnect method, you also want to step on the brake pedal for a second or two after disconnecting the battery to discharge everything.

Also, your ECU is a learning ECU so it does technically "fix" itself over time, but why not just helping along by resetting?

 

Is it in our owners manual to tell you how many blinks designates which code or do you have to look online to find it?

 

Thanks 3hree5ive0ero, I used your method and it worked like a charm! back on the roads again!

 

Yay mine is gone.... for now anyways lol

 

I had a CEL yesterday when we installed a new radar. Cleared and never came back, thanks Jake!

 

How many times did your blink cuz mine was going crazy? Mine blinked in a series of seven blinks multiple times and then it started doing multiple series of ten blinks

 

It'll blink anywhere from 1 to 10 times slow, then blink anywhere from 1 to 10 times fast, then slow, then fast... (1 blink = "1", 2 blinks = "2",... 10 blinks = "0") So once you count the series of blinks 4 times, that is ONE code. The next 4 series of blinks are a new code and so on. It'll loop back to your first code once it goes through all the codes you're throwing.

If you're not throwing any codes, I believe it's supposed to blink slow 10 times, fast 10 times and repeat.

Once you record all the codes, click the below thread to see what that code means or use a service manual for more info:
