4 most common causes of engine light on
-oxygen (O2) sensor
-loose fuel cap
-very cold weather affecting airflow under the hood.
-in need of oil change.
check these. As for fuel cap, make sure you crank it around a few times after each fill...very cold weather, you just have to wait. Save your engine with an oil change regularly, and get your mechanic to show you where the O2 sensor is on your vehicle. May just need the contacts cleaned.

My Geo still doesn't start after resetting check engine light switch!

The check engine light being on indicates a problem in the electronic system that controls the engine, so resetting the CE light without reading the code that was set with the light being turned on by the on board computer has not fixed the problem that is keeping it from starting. This is an early system called OBD1, it requires a special scanner to plug in and read the fault codes you have. .

Volvo c-70 blinking check engine light?

If you have service or check engine light turn on, will need to scanned the PCM (Powertrain Control, Module) to know exactly what fault code is stored there. With this code number we could send you additional details to solve it. Some Autozone or Autoshops with scanner reader codes make this job for free (sometimes).

Hope this helps and just keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

The Check Engine light, Trac OFF and Vsc lights are on. I cleaned the MAF sensor on the air intake. but it didn't help. What should I do?

Since your "check engine" is ON, have some fault codes stored in the PCM (Powertrain Control Module / computer); to know exactly about what codes are the, will need scanned the PCM wit OBD II scaner reader tool; some autozone or autoshop with this tool make this for free. The check engine light can come on for 1 of about 200 different reasons, most times it's something simple such as a evap leak or loose gas cap.

As a factory default any time the check engine light comes on the TRAC and VSC systems are disabled as a default.

Soft reset could be disconnected the battery few minutes (sometimes work), but if the codes turn on again, is confirm, have fault codes stored and need to know what is to solve it.

Try this ans send us news about this code numbers founded.
