| Check Engine Light On And Off by gateleo(op): 8:17pm On Dec 15, 2015 |
Please the check engine light on my Toyota carmy 99 is on, I took the car for scan and the nothing special was detected. The light went off after the guy finished scanning. Two days later, the light was up again and I took the car again for scan. When I got there, the guy removed the battery head for some minutes and placed it back. He said I should start the engine again and the Check Engine light came up and went off again. Now, after some hours driving, the Check Engine will comes up again and if I remove the battery head and place back the Check Engine light will disappear. Please what might be the problem? Any useful suggestions will be highly appreciated.... Thanks |
