Hi there,

I'm assuming you are referring to your vehicle's on-board diagnostic codes?????

When replacing the battery (i.e. disconnecting power from the vehicle), this will RESET your vehicle's OBD computer.

When the computer is reset, NO CODES should be present, UNLESS the computer has detected a fault.

SOURCE: Code P0401 1998 Toyota Camry

I'm assuming that it is a four cyl.The p0401 code is for insufficient egr flow.Most of the time it is the egr vsv valve (vsv means vacuum switching valve)which is what controls the vacuum to the egr valve to open it.It is kind of hard to get to as it is on the block under the head on the back side.If you follow the hose from the egr valve it goes to the vsv.I have also seen mice eat holes in the vacuum line which would also give you problems.I hope this help and let me know if you have anymore questions

SOURCE: can't pass state inspection, changed EGR valve already, next?

I suggest quit hunting for maybes and rent an OBD code reader which ends up being free when you return it to the auto parts store. Connect it and find out what is causing the CEL condition. Normal issues are the O2 sensor, or sensors in the system.

SOURCE: I have a problem with my 2001 Toyota sienna, took

If the "evap not ready" readiness monitor never clears and you keep getting P0440,P0441,P0446 type codes, then you have a problem with the evap system. You have already tried the gas cap (good start) but there are about 6 other things it can be from electrical VSV air valves (there are 3 of them, 2 under the hood, 1 near the charcoal cannister (behind fuel tank) to 2 air operated valves on the front of the same cannister. There is also an air line that goes to one of the electric VSV valves on the air cleaner under the hood. Several oil change places have been guilty of pullling these off and not reconnecting them.

My 2000 vw passat will not pass inspection because of codes, the check engine light has always been on. what do i do?

Yes, fix it.
When the check engine light is on it's in limp home mode. Means it goes to set values and runs poorly...
also, check local/state laws. they may have a grandfather clause that states after you invest a certain amount of money, they will pass it...

Engine light will not go off in Isuzu Rodeo 2010, yet nothing shows up on diagnostics. How can I get it off long enough to pass inspection for my state will not pass vehicle with engine light on?

Test this out once, disconnect the battery completely (both pos. and neg) for around 5 - 10 mins, put it back on and test drive if it comes back on it should have a code then if it does not it was probably a phantom code
let me know how it goes

Code 1740?

If you disconnect the battery for a minute or two the PCM and TCM will reset. If the light doesn't come back on right away, either the problem no longer exists or the conditions to set it haven't been met. One trick to get it to pass if it takes a while to come on is to drive within a block or so of the inspection station, stop and disconnect and reconnect the battery to turn the light off, then on to the station for the inspection. I know it doesn't fix the problem but it might get it through the inspection.

Codes need to be reset in my cars computer?

if you had it replaced it should have already been set however you can reset your cars computer by taking the positive battery cable off the battery and waiting 2-3 min and then touching the positive cable from the car to the negative cable which is still attached to the neg post on the battery for about 5 sec and the hooking it back up. that will reset the computer which would configure any new sensors. when the computer reads a bad code it bypasses that sensor so your car will run. it wont run to the best of its ability though - that's why you didn't pass an inspection. when you replaced the sensor the computer didn't notice because it already stopped reading that sensor when it went bad and doesnt know about the new one. when you reset the computer as i told you then it will read the new sensor and work properly.

2000 chevy silverado z71 check engine light will not go off.

you have to know what the code is that your truck putting out your truck has 4 O2 sensors. the trucks computer is smart and the code will tell you witch one is bad but if you replace just one the next one on the same exhaust pipe will probley go bad so its safe to replace all four. the draw back to replaceing all of them is thay cost about 80 bucks for one ACDelco O2 sensor. It has to be done before it will pass Emissions. not a hard part to change about a 7/8 open end wrench will take it off. have fun.
