SERVICE YOUR CAR ENGINE!!!! SERVICE YOUR CAR ENGINE!!!!
The process of elimination works. If you have a check engine light, start there.
If the 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage won't start and has the service engine light on, you probably have an issue with a sensor. This could be a problem with an electrical or oxygen sensor.
turn off engine, and start again
The "Service Engine" light is the computer's way of telling you that it has something to tell you. Connect a scanner and see what it says.
I can, and so can anyone else who has a relatively new engine diagnostic code scanner. However, if the problem is not resolved, the light will return as soon as you start the engine
That is normal but, when you start the engine the light should go out.
Why my infiniti QX56 doesn't want to start, the service engine light is on? is it because i stayed without gas, or whats causing for it not to start. A tuneup has been done..
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
If the check engine light is on with no codes, you have a wiring or computer issue.
If you are referring to the Check Engine light then the bulb is either blown or has been blacked out on the dash by a crook.
Turn key to accessory position. Press and hold trip meter reset button. Wait half a second and turn key to on position (not start) continuing to hold trip button. After a few seconds the service light will start flashing. At this point release the trip button, cycle the key and start the engine. The service light should be reset.
The owners manul says......." with engine off, put key in ignition , turn to ON (do not crank over) push accelerator completely to the floor 5 times, turn off key. Start engine, Service Engine light should go off after a few seconds."
