CEL

Featured Replies

I have a 12/95 legacy wagon 2.2 awe man. I threw a CEL I tried to retrieve the codes via the test sensors under the stearing I followed the directions but no code will flash..the CEL. Just continues to flash with no code at all.... I've tried everything any advice?

Go to an auto parts store and have them scan it

You might have OBDI instead of OBDII.  Yours is a 96 model but I'm not sure the early 96's had OBDII

Has this car ran flawlessly since you bought it new in 1995 or did you apply for a salvage title after finding it abandoned in the forest?

 

Are the green connectors under the dash connected?  If so - disconnect them.  They're test mode connectors only, not meant to stay plugged in. 

 

The spark plugs and wires are now 22 years old - that's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY overdue for changing and these engines aren't forgiving - make sure they're NGK plugs and wires.

 

Have you tried to read the codes with an OBDII scanner?  (Advance, napa, autozone, and others all read codes for free)

 

Does this car run and drive?

 

If it has multiple codes - clear them and see which come back first.
