That is either the Throttle Switch Circuit ( Manual Transmission Only) or the Throttle Position Sensor circuit (High Voltage Input) that is code 21 btw. im actually pulling code 21 and 22 right now. just purchased a new TPS going to install it tomorrow but my car surges when i push in the clutch and comming to a stop about 4 times and then will idle normal.

the check engine light may come on for several reasons. first in newer models the light is used because the fluid levels might be low. Another reason is that the ecm may have detected a fault in the sensor system because the parameters were exceeded. another reason is it could be that your fuel cap is not on tight enough. at this point it would hard for me to determine what the codes mean due to not having the manual for your vehicle. in the mean time my suggestion would be to have a full diagnostic done on the vehicle at a shop. some of those codes could be active and some might be stored and unless cleared they will remain and the light will stay on. considering your vehicle is running fine =I suspect that there not actually be a problem but the stored codes need to be reset in order for the light to go out... please rate this........thanks

Why is check engine light is on for 2001 dodge stratus, flashes 5 times but car doesnt run bad and not losing power

Take it to someone who can read the OBDII scan codes out of the computer. You may be seeing signs of incipient catastrophic engine failure.

hi it sounds like a sensor may be faulty or getting worn, luckily you dont need equipment to check codes, look under the dash on drivers side and you will see 2 small black plugs close together plug them in with the car off but key on acc and the check light will flash codes, slow then fast. for example if 4 times slow then 2 times fast it means code 42 then just google it for the code meanings

In order to read your obd code you have to turn the key on and off three times then the fourth time leave it on and watch the check engine light for flashing the code. There is delay before it starts to flash. Then it will flash and pause before it goes to the next number. for example one flash is 1, two flashes is 2, and so on till it flashes 5,5, which is the end of the code. there is a pause between numbers. You will have to try it a few times till you get a feel for it.

I think it may have wiring problem

If your check engine light is coming on it threw a code. On the passenger side of the car under the dash in a side panel there is a open circuit that if you insert a paper clip into both prongs will read your code for you. This is done by counting the flashes of your check engine light. It will flash for different lengths of time long then short (ex. 4 long then pause 3 fast is a code 43)

Check engine light on

Cycle your key, on (not start) off, on, off, on. Leave it on 3rd time, and count check engine flashes. It will be a 2 digit number each time. For example: flash,flash, pause, flash, flash. Is code 22.
Flash,flash,flash,pause,flash,flash,flash, is code 33. There will be a little longer pause after each set of 2 digits. When you get flash,5 times, then flash 5 times again, that's code 55 which means end of trouble code message. have a piece of paper ready, write them down, and get back to us with results.

Vdc and engine check lights both on

under dash connect together the 2 green multiplugs. The CEL light (Check Engine Light) will flash. Slow then fast. Count the slow flashes then the fast ones. I.E. code 21 will give 2 slow flashes then 1 fast = 21.

let me know the code and I will diagnose for you.
