Check the fuse for your OBD II data link, also check to see if there is any power to the connector using a simple test light. That should FixYa.

Check engine light on with the TPS code. replaced TPS and pig tail and it checked out OK with volt meter. The light still comes back on with the TPS code

Check engine light comes on and off, these are indication that there is some error code stored in your vehicles ECM. The engine module computer needs to be scanned. These will give the code and as per the error code the further problem can be detected and confirmed. The engine light indicator blinks or remains steady on dash when engine computer noticed any problem with any engine electrically operated components.


For more help, I suggest you to refer the help links provided below. These will let you know more about which areas to look, check, when there is engine light coming up on dash panel.

Eng. light is on what can be wrong

1999 ford explorer Check engine light is on ?------------

The check engine light comes ON when the cars computer (the ECU) notices any kind of electrical problem in car. In this case I suggest you to get your car scanned at autozone service center. It's absolutely free. In scanning the error codes will be retrieved.As per the error code you can check which part is faulty and replace that particular part. This will solve the problem.---------- This will help. Thanks. Helpmech.

How to reset inspection light on 2000 bmw 323

You need a tool that plugs in to the computer connector under the dash above your left foot. The most popular brand is Peake, but there are several brands that will work. This tool will reset the oil change light, the inspection light, and the check engine light, and will read out engine control system error codes.

Is there a reset procedure to turn off check engine light once problem has been identified and corrected like is necessary when the change oil light comes on?

If you have an OBD-II diagnostic tool, and the problem has been cleared, plug the tool in to your car and there is an option on the tool interface to delete error codes. That will shut off the check engine light. If you do not have a tool or cannot borrow one, you can rent it from an autozone or have a mechanic do it (at a price...). Hope that helps!

How to clear code service engine soon 2002

you need to use an OBDII scan tool that will read any "error" codes and give you the system that will be causing the check engine light to come on. this tool will also allow you to erase the code after you have read it. write the code down as you may have to pinpoint exactly what part may have failed and needs replacing. something as simple as a loose gas cap will cause the check engine light to come on. it could be any of a dozen different emission or ignition sensors that may be bad depending on the error code. all 1996 and newer vehicles sold in the US will have the OBDII system and standard diagnostic/data link connector,which is usually under the driver side of the dash, to plug the scan tool into to read the DTC's(diagnostic trouble codes).
