Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting CEL after intsalling.... (please read)

Well I installed the "aussie pipe" and a Pro-M on my car 2 nights ago. Yesterday on my way home from work, my check engine light came on. The car is running and idling fine, temp is fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what I should check?

Anyone?? By the way my mods are TH-fix, KKM, SHO Shop Y-Pipe, and Borla.

I'm not conversant with your mods, but CELs can appear for a zillion reasons and it may be coincidental. You can have code read as a starting point, ignore and see if it goes away, or reset PCM and see if it returns.

I forgot what fuses to pull to reset the computer. I had the battery disconnected when I was working on it, so I would have thought doing that would reset my computer. Do you know the fuse #'s??

Then you don't need to pull any fuses. What you do need to do is get the code read.

I would still like to try and reset the computer again without disconnecting the battery, what fuses are they?

Don't waste your time.

If you insist, look in your owner's manual. PCM/EEC power and memory. I think 4 and 11.

Still, it won't do more than pulling your battery cable. Guaranteed that CEL comes back on if you didn't do anything to fix it.

I'd read that code before erasing it if I were you.

Keith, in answer to your PM, I had a CEL shortly after installing the Pro-M but I had a vacuum leak from a vacuum connector that I broke removing the UIM. I fixed than and no more CEL. May be worth a trip to Autozone if you do not have a code reader, they are advertising free code reading (here at least).

Dan,
After a closer look last night, I noticed that the hose that you put the copper plug into to stop the "moosing/TH hang" was starting to pull out of the Aussie Pipe. I thought that might be a problem because in my case the hose was just a little short, I could use another inch. So I went to buy some J.B. Weld and I am going to try that to make it hold the gromet and fitting in better. Hopefully that will work and eliminate my CEL. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FITTINGS ON THEIR AUSSIE PIPE??

Can't help you there ............

but I take out f11 3 amp fuse (PCM memory circuits) in Power distribution box next to battery to reset CELs.
