When you fix most anything triggered by a "Check Engine " light, you have to clear the computer. There are 2 ways to clear it. One is to unhook the Neg cable from the Battery for 10 minutes, the other is to use a scanner.

Sometimes there is a problem when unhooking the Battery as it affects other things when the power is lost. You can get this service done for free at Autozone or Oreillys and they will rescan your vehicle. There may be different codes showing now that you have changed some parts and it may be the better way to go.

If you used the Battery cable removal technique and the light still was on, you would need to rescan your car anyway. If you have a question about codes you can contact this site.

Why does check engine light come back on after replacing crank sensor

The check engine light is still on because the fault identified by the computer was not caused by a failed crank position sensor.

Have you ever replaced the timing belt?? If not the problem is likely to be a loose worn out timing belt. A floppy belt will play havoc with the sensor signals and trigger a check engine light and a camshaft sensor code.

My 1996 Nissan pickup's check engine light is on. I had it checked and was told that the O2 sensor was bad. I replaced the O2 sensor and the check engine light is still on.

Your light needs to be reset. It doesn't reset automatically. Autozone, Advance, etc parts stores can reset it for you free

i would replace sensors and then reset check engine light and drive if light comes back on then replace converter, 80% of the converters are condemed because o2 sensors are bad,garage fiqure if they replace everything there sure to fix the problem,but the cost is on you.GOOD LUCK!!!!

Check engine light and cruise lights came on simultaneously.

Sound like the O2's heater circuit may not be working, that will set a code. I am not a big fan of univeral O2's, too many problems with bad connections and the check engine lights coming back on. You may need to use a OEM type sensor to keep the light off.
