Service engine soon light

bazil769 · 12-12-2016, 06:22 PM

My service engine soon light came on after i had two coils fail. I have replaced my coils and spark plugs but the warning lamp is still on my dash. Anyone knows how i get rid of it?

Simplest way, unplug your battery for a minute and hook it back up.

Read/check the codes and see what they are for. Use an app like Carley or the like. The SES light can be anything really.

I unplugged my negative battery terminal for about 5 mins and re-plugged, nothing changed.

Go to autozone or another parts store that does free OBD2 read outs, check the codes to see if they are related, and if you're positive that they are, they can clear them out.

Ok. Thank you.

The light went away right when i started the car to go to autozone. I believe the fault code for the coils were just still in the computer.
