Hey All,

I'm a newbie here, thanks for letting me join!
Original owner of SSexy, she's my 2004 SS!
I joined to ask how to reset her "Check Engine" light after replacing front o2 Sensor. I am limited as to where I can post for now, (I can understand why!) Anyone that can put me in the right direction for info, would be great!
I also have another issue with her security, and trying to get it all rectified as she gets gutted for a new heater core. I thought I had the o2 Sensor squared away until the light came on, on way to Radiator Shop! Thanks RGG

 

to remove light try unplugging batt for like 10mins then plug back in

I don't think disconnecting the battery will clear the code. I think it needs to be reset with an OBD2 scan tool (don't know the official name). Unless you know somebody with one, you may have to go to a shop.

 

Welcome to the site! I think a OBD2 scan tool will only temporarily erase the code.

 

Welcome to the forum! As stated above an OBD2 scan tool should work. On my previous car I had to use a pocket scanner to clear an O2 sensor code a couple times a month. (Wasn't worth it to replace the sensor for the condition the rest of the car was in)

 

Thanks for all the fast reply's! I had been told a scanner tool may work. I was gonna have the kid at Auto Zone rescan it, but when I had the LS1 Camaro a few years back the car had to be driven till it turned off. Im unsure if that method will also work. Again I cant post in the forum yet, due to the new guidelines by spammers.
Radiator shop says keeping SSexy another day, and I was looking forward to get her back to try the scan tools! Thanks Yal!

 

Heyy! Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

I have heard of cars having to be driven to turn off..but it is usually only like 50-75 miles. so if it is still on after that any autozone will scan it and clear it for you for free.
