Thanks - I just purchased this scanner and will save this video to use when it comes! It's not a hazard, I already know what the code is but I need to renew my license plate!
Thank you so much. I have a 2003 Toyota Camry. Replaced the transmission and catalytic converter. The check engine light goes off for 20’ish miles and then turns back on. The maintenance light turned on, I found out that means change oil. Did that, plus new filter, checked fluids etc,. Technicians checked the code which showed no problem, 20ish miles later check engine light is back on. I’m gonna follow your instructions. Forgot to say one technician said to other something about the maintenance light being connected to the check engine light. I was so happy, live in CA and thought my problems were over for now. Is this a known issue?
Hey man if you’re still here, need some help. Tried clearing the codes couple of time with the OBD2 scanner but it never cleared. Even the ABS Brake lights are still on. Help!
I think the video was helpful yet if you could talk a little bit slower and give a little bit more information . I sort of was able to pick out what you were trying to say because of my previous mechanical experience but generally probably informing people what you are doing and why you are doing it would help out a little bit
Thank you for this video. Great information. I think I'll buy a scanner. Question: How do you shut off the check engine light without having cleared the codes? I got somebody to scan mine but they didn't clear the codes and my check engine light is still on. I tried holding the odometer reset button and turning key on to position 2 but it doesn't work. Any other suggestions?
If the check check engine light doesn’t show before you start the vehicle your check the it will obd2 ready and see what the status is for mil and it if it shows off then your check the light bulb in the dash. Sometimes people damage the light bulb so when selling to fool others that there is nothing wrong with the car.
I got a it Toyota Camry 2004 four-cylinder. The code says the oxygen sensor on top is bad. I went and bought a new one and replace it and I'm still having the same problem check engine still on. What can I do?
Hayder, What code did you get(Pxxxx)? Was it one code or multiple codes? Did you buy a oem exact fit or after market 02 sensor which you wired up yourself? Lastly are you getting the same code(s) as before?
Hi the check engine light on my car keeps staying on. I got the catalyst fixed two parts of it and one of the oxygen sensors fixed on it too and the light is still on
You need to check which codes dtc are present on your vehicle using an obd2 reader. There should be a link in the video description. Write down the codes and clear it again, wait for to codes pop back up and then figure what is causing the new codes to pop back up. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Hi, my check engine light on today . It say catalytic converter defect . But I have change it one month ago . Anyway I erase the code and check engine light gone . So my question is will it come back again. If so how long it will take to come back. Thanks Golf 5 ( 2008 ) 1.4 patrol engine I drove with bad kat about a week but no engine light on and after I drove another week without Kat no engine light on . When I change my both Kat and drove 500km not engine light. Then I put fuel injector cleaner and drove another 150 km . And after engine light on and it says on my obd2 Kat defect.
Once you pull the code from the scanner you need to research possible causes. Try typing in the year make model of your vehicle along with that code ( dtc) and you will get a some pretty good idea what it can be.
thank you my brother i have a 420 light on ( have to pass you no what ) so have to do this let see if i pass thank you. i have to fix the car but money is low ( hope it work ) for emissions test. thank you ( let you no ) 2005 Camry
Here is a $10 fix that I've seen many many people use amzn.to/2BO7cqI or try lacquer thinner if don't have the money now to fix it properly ( replace cats normally ) If your in california for example, the monitors have to be ready in order to SMOG the car. Have your gas more than 3/4 and no less than 1/4 tank, start your vehicle in the morning and let you idle for 15 minutes, then drive it on the freeway for at least 30 miles and don't turn off your vehicle when you go in for testing if possible, if you need me to make a video for you let me know. Good luck. other possible causes of p0420 Check for exhaust leaks at the manifold, pipes, catalytic converter. Repair as required. Use a scope to diagnose the oxygen sensor operation (Tip: The oxygen sensor in front of the catalytic converter normally has a fluctuating waveform. The waveform of the sensor behind the converter should be more steady). Inspect the downstream heated oxygen sensor, replace if necessary Replace the catalytic converter
Hi bro, i went ahead and replaced both of the oxygen sensor( code p0031) for some reason the check light still shows on the dashboard, would it be posible to erase that code? Thanks..
Hi Thang, If the code(s) that are causing your check engine light to come on are hard set which means your check engine light comes right back when you reset the code it means you have permanent code / open loop circuit which the computer is able to detect right away. What code(s) are you are retrieving? If you need help give your year model and I will try to help best I can. _RandomFix
RANDOMFIX, I triple checked, and there isn't any code at all after scannes multiple times. There was none dtc code either. So i guess that was why it didn't let me to erase since there was none to erase. Despite that, the Maint( in letter instead od check engine ) light still on. I followed your instructions to clear from the odometer rsetwhile turning key on/off but it did not work either. So I guess a trip to the dealership for Maintenance is unavoidable.
Hi Thang, I'm trying to follow what you are saying!! Are you able to shoot a video and send me the link so I can see what the actual issue is. I would go to the dealership yet. Let me know. _RandomFix
If you want to reset the maint light you have to push and hold the speedometer button on the dash until you see the 3 lines disappear. Haven't had my light come on since
Yes you absolutely do need to check your engine. You should look up the code and that will tell you what the problem is. Many times you can fix the problem yourself.
Figure 1. Locate the fuse box near the steering column on the driver's side. Step 2 - Remove the ECU fuse Check the diagram on the inside of the fuse cover to locate the ECU fuse. Pull the fuse labeled for the ECU. Figure 2. Pull the fuse designated for the ECU. Step 3 - Turn on your car Turn the ignition to the ON position only, but don't turn over the engine. Wait for a few minutes. Replace the ECU fuse. The CEL should flash, then go out.
Or you can just bring your car to AutoZone and they clear the code for you for free. You then have to drive the car 50 miles before car can pass the inspection.
The obd2 reader is 20 dollars, just check the video description for the link. You can use it in any 1996 and newer vehicle. So autozone wouldn't clear the code for you?

Great, the scanner is worth its weight in gold, you can use it any car that 1996+ and newer. Cheers.
Where do you get this scaner at?
Great tool... fortunately I live in a state where I don't have to pass emissions...I'm still buying one!!💯 Thx for vidja bro!!
What state do you live in?
Glad to help. Thank you for sharing.
Should I turn the car on first or plug the scanner in first?
Vehicle ignition should be off but these obd2 readers will work with the vehicle engine on as well.

Hi I have a 2004 Toyota Camry. That the check engine light doesn’t come on at all wath can p be the problem. Hey your video is good 👍
If the check check engine light doesn’t show before you start the vehicle your check the it will obd2 ready and see what the status is for mil and it if it shows off then your check the light bulb in the dash. Sometimes people damage the light bulb so when selling to fool others that there is nothing wrong with the car.
you should have filmed your thumb as well, to show which buttons you actually pressed on your device

good master, I have experienced the same thing and I have fixed it
I appreciate your constructive comments, thank you for the feedback!
How do you fix what triggered it?

Will a 2000 be in the same place
99% of obd2 ports will be in the driverside wheelwell area. So, yes
thank you my brother i have a 420 light on ( have to pass you no what ) so have to do this let see if i pass thank you. i have to fix the car but money is low ( hope it work ) for emissions test. thank you ( let you no ) 2005 Camry
way gill, Best of luck, does your state emission check to see if the monitors (computer) is ready?
i took the battery cable off last year drive 25- 30 miles and it passed

thank you I will no how its goes bro ( thanks again )
Hi bro, i went ahead and replaced both of the oxygen sensor( code p0031) for some reason the check light still shows on the dashboard, would it be posible to erase that code? Thanks..
I would delete the current trouble codes and see if the check engine light returns.
Well you might still have a problem that wasn't the O2 sensor
Whatever fool I really know everything you say in you video👍🏼😂😂
Cres, thanks for the feedback. _Randomfix
I did NOT hear, see anywhere in the video where you showed how to CLEAR the codes out, you were mumbling or talking to fast
thank you for the feedback
I hit the erase button but all it did was to come back to the menu, and the maint light is still on. Can you help? I have an OBD2.
