Default Service engine light

Find out what code it is showing and fix the problem. The SES light will continue to come on until the proble is fixed. To reset just disconnect the battery for 5 minutes.

The same problem may be back, or you may have new ones, get the thing scanned & find out. Do what the light says.

I don't know whay year car you have, but if it a 95or older (OBDI), it does not care whether you have cats or not. Get the car scanned & see what the complaint is.

yeah, go to Autozone and have it scanned. If the light is flashing (96 and newer, OBDIII) then its a misfire, but if its staying on i think its something with emissions..

i went to checker and they only have obd2 scanners i guess and it wont pick up a coad. what do i need.
i have a 93 z28 this shop said that my computer is shot becouse it wont give out a coad or something. so i need a obd1 scanner with a obd2 wire is that what i got.

i think the one they used on my car was a unaversal one
