My check engine light is on. Keep replacing parts and still getting codes. Don't know what to do anymore. Will not pass inspection in Massachusetts with the light on. It's cost me $800 so far and the light is still on. Help! Even brought it in for the recall and still nothing.
Just cut the wire to the light.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal and then reconnect it. It turned off the Check engine light on my 97 4X4 XE.
If your computer is newer in this truck it could be the catalytic converter. A good shop should be able to figure that one from your emissions test however.
My truck-97 XE- had the same thing going-disconnecting the battery will kill the light, but after a few days, if the error wasn't corrected it will come on again because it is read by the engine computer and a code is assigned. I suggest get a C.E.light scanner, (here in SoCal, Autozone lends it for free) plug it into the diagnostic port under the driver dash and read the numeric code. Code interpretations are then available from a Hayne's or a Chilton's repair manual for your truck.
