Hi did they reset the light when they done the oil change? if not then that is the reason why it is still on, but to be honest, having low oil does not normally make the check engine light come on, you normally have an icon that looks like an oil filler can come on the dash when it is low on oil, this might be an underlying fault like an 02 sensor or MAF sensor that sort of thing, you would need to get it to a garage that has diagnostic equipment to do this for you...hope this helps

The wires that you move, probably have a bare spot on one of them shorting out. check every wire carefully. Wires tend to break at the plugs so check there also. Give them a tug, one at a time you will find the problem. Of course do this while the car is running. when the light comes on, you found the problem. And find another shop, 1000 is way to high.

My sister-in-law just bought a 2004 Kia Sorento from a small dealership. She has had numerous problems with the car since she bought it about a week ago. This morning, her check engine light came on and...

Here is what you need to do. The check engine light is on because the computer has detected a problem with your vehicle. You need to take it to Autozone or Advanced to get it scan. They will do it for free and they will let you know what they find. This will let you know where the problem is and then you can go rom there. The breaks probably need changed. If it was low on oil and ran, it could have messed the engine up. Is it knocking? Ask me anything. I am here to help. 4 thumbs up is appreciated if you appreciate the reply. Thanks. You need it scanned. Then we know where to start.

I have volvo s40 2004 The engine light comes

Sounds like your dealer is feeling its way. which sensor did they say they changed and why. Do not pay for this ****, you took it to the dealer with a warning light and they say they changed something in order to attempt to cure the warning but they failed. About as much use as changing the seat covers and emptying the ash trays! When you say noise, is this a squeal, a crunch, is it continuous or is it during change gear. Does the car slip when in gear, is there vibration. Check your engine oil and transmission oil levels
