CEL after oil change/tire rotation

[The Duck]

haha inspection is due ... That's awesome

Yeah I previsouly had a subaru legacy gt with an access port and I was able to draw/clear codes from there ---- that was a great purchase

Haven't gotten into doing much with the cruze except commute to work -- and it's been great at that!!

California mechanics pushed a bill that would eliminate folks being able to get their codes read at parts stores since the stores were apparently stealing too much of their business when folks DIY'ed. I'm not sure if it passed or not.

Is that what happened? Will have to look that up.

If the AZ scanner can't read CAN, it's useless anyhow. A cheap CAN scanner with live data is $60-80. Well worth the money, just for stuff like this.

This is a very good point. They aren't able to look up on every car. They weren't able to read the code from my 96 Honda. Doubt they will be able to read a CAN setup, but I bet they'll sell you a reader

Re-seat the oil dipstick firmly, and re-seat the oil fill cap. Once that's done, unhooking the negative terminal on the battery for 15 minutes will clear the code. I hope your inspection isn't due for a while, though, since that resets all the emissions monitors.

Yep.

definately was the oil cap ... can't believe I over looked that --- code actually cleared by itself ... We ran a lot of errands yesterday with a lot of on/off with the car

Thanks for the help guys!!

Most CEL's will clear themselves after 50 or so miles.
