No DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes stored in any computer on the vehicle? Full vehicle scan. Is the security light lit also?
With these lights - brake light, traction light, abs light, & battery light coming on codes would have to be stored in one of the vehicles computers. I would almost bet a U code was stored in one of the modules. U codes are communication network problem codes.
Any code's stored ? Or didn't you check ? Check engine light on code or code's stored . After replacing or disconnecting a battery in a ford vehicle will store a P1000 code. This isn't a problem just means the vehicle lost power, this doesn't normally turn on the check engine light. Run by a auto part's an have them check code's . If none are shown they can turn off the light . Do you have autozone , advance auto parts near you ?
Well code 68 usually means there is a problem with the MAP or MAF sensor.
The battery light means the alternator is not charging the battery enough to turn the warning light off. The alternator may be charging, but the extra voltage may not be getting to the battery.
You can delete the codes by removing the battery negative terminal for 5 Sec or more. By this method you can only delete the engine and power train codes. ABS and EPS codes cannot be deleted by this method. Better to retrieve and delete the error codes with code reader or diagnostic computer. Make a note of freeze frame data before clearing the codes.
Disconnecting the vehicle battery can set fault codes in the computer for "INTERNAL MEMORY KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) ERROR" (code P0603) or "SYSTEM VOLTAGE LOW" (code P0562). These codes do not normally cause the check engine light to come on unless they are "active" codes, meaning that the problem is occuring on THIS ignition cycle.
The check engine light coming on is most likely not related to the battery having been replaced. However, I have seen wierder things! I would recommend scanning your engine computer (OBD codes) and find out which fault codes are present. If there are no codes other than the ones described above, then clear the codes with the scanner and turn the ignition off then restart the engine to see if the light comes back on. If it does, then there is most likely a problem with your battery or battery cables.
If any types of codes other than those mentioned above are present, then each code must be diagnosed to find the cause.
Hi, if your car engine light comes on and after connecting it to the computer it looks o.k, then you should try reseting the engine light by remove the positive battery cable from the battery post and leave it off for about five minutes. Then, reattach the battery cable to the battery. You can do this with a basic 1/2-inch or 9/16-inch wrench. Removing the battery cable will reset the "Check engine" light as long as there is nothing serious wrong with the engine.
the airbag light has a code stating low voltage because the battery didnt die completely before the code was set disconnect the battery for 20 min reconnect if there are no codes present the light will go out after self test
battery likely not holding strenght, light will stay on as a reminder of the problem, disconnect the negative cable of the battery for 5 minutes and reconnect it, this reset the error codes ( that is what the light is, an error code), good luck
