ok guys, its been over 3 weeks i have that light on, i thought it would go off by itself. However it hasnt. So i took 10 dollar gas after it was empty 3 weeks ago and i might, not sure, losen up the gas cap when closing. However i put gas in it about 5/6 times after that,(all were $10/15), but the light is still there. anybody knows how i get rid of it? do i need to fill it up to top?

 

uh oh...might be a tranny....

mine was on for a month and tranny died.
im not sure but..
i believe check engine light caused by many things..
if you have a warranty go to dealer or go to local shop to check.

correct me if im wrong.

 

Seriously why would you even post something like this????? The check engine light can be for hundreds of things.

The only way we can really help you is if you get the codes read.

 

um.. didnt mean to do anything stupid.
just wrote what i experienced before.

put gas about half, drove for an hour light was on, and after a month tranny died. im still noob so really not sure that's related to tranny but it happened.

did i do something wrong?

 

^^^^ what he said.

The check engine light is there for a reason. 'Check' means check...don't assume it'll just go out by itself! See what the heck it's trying to tell you.

Go to Autozone & get the codes read for free.

 

yea do what he said.
ignore what i wrote =)

 

Go to autozone and have the codes run and report back what they are and we can help you figure it out.

 

It can be a bunch of things but if you want have it go off then hold down the 2 buttons on the gauge cluster, i think it is trip and reset at the same time and then put the key in the ignition an turn the car on (Don't Start the engine) while still holding in the 2 buttons, and after about 10 seconds it will go away. I would still suggest getting it looked at though.

 

Um no, that's the maintenance required light. He's talking about the Check Engine Light.
