Started this morning. Can I go to Autozone and have them check the codes? Will it cost anything? Could my MIL eleminator be loose?

i say cause mine came on twice with about a month difference and its been like 4 months now since ive had it come on...
maybe the mil got screwy for a sec and lost the signal.

How do I clear it? Unplug the battery? Did that twice so far.

i used a OBD II scanner and cleared them from there.

I'd get it checked first before you clear it out so you know what code its throwing..
I went Autozone once to get a cel checked and they said they weren't allowed to to that anymore for legal reasons...but they let me use their odb anyway...

autozone here will check it, DONT just delete it not knowing what it is... bad idea....

To clear it though, disconnect the battery, then go step on the brakes for about 10 seconds to drain any electrical current left in the system.

yeah ive been throwing a cell lately too. happened to me twice so far and its getting annoying. I think I may have hooked up my MIL wrong but not sure waiting till it gets warm to double check all the connections and such. It really sucks ass though throwing a cell.

i threw a cel too mine came up as a p03000 misfire of some kind. i havent gone to get it looked at yet ....becuase i think i might have gotten water in the engine and i will probably have to take the few mods i have off first before i throw it over to the dealer to have a look see...
