ANyone know how to do it? I installed a cold air intake a few months ago, and been driving with the service engine soon light that came on after installing it. Tried disconnecting the battery over night and the light would still come back.

 

You can clear them with a scan tool but disconnecting the battery would clear them also

if it comes on right away then there's something wrong I say scan the codes and see what its trying to tell you

 

yeah that is a good idea. Has anyone else ran into this ? I dont see it documented very much.

 

It may not have anything to do with your new intake setup or you may have done something wrong with the install. Diagnosis starts with the code so don't just clear it expecting it to go away.

A properly installed intake will not cause a code.

 

Did you play with the MAF sensor at all? Touching the wires inside can cause issues, but you won't know whats wrong until you read the code. Did you put all of the sensors back in their proper spot? Did you reconnect all harnesses back up?

 

Take it to Auto Zone, they'll read the codes for you for free.
They aren't allowed to do it themselves but if you ask them to clear the codes, they'll show you what buttons to push to clear the code also.

 

took a look at it today and realized I didnt see the hose on the back of the throttle body intake tube. , I missed it because I did not see it when the hose is off and it kinda plops down.

 

did it fix the ses light ? =P

 

I drove to oriellys to get a new front turn signal bulb since it burned out, and than drove to autozone to ask them to check for codes since the light was still on. Parked it and looked inside and saw alot of people in there. So then i said to hell with it and figured it should clear up. Started back up and drove home, it cleared a few blocks away.

 

Leaving the fresh air make-up tube off the back of the throttle body 'hat' would definitely set a code. Whether that is the only code that is stored in the PCM, well you'll need to get the codes read to determine that. If that was the reason for the code, it should go away on its own.
