Help
My CEL light just came on after last nights cold temperature -20°C
I was on the freeway when it came on and I had be rolling for 15 minutes or so


Should I reset the ECU and see if it comes back on or what?

Please help me

do you know how to diagnose your computer? Find out what your car is telling you before you blow it away. Your chiltons manual should give you your computer location and codes and what they mean.

I'm currently having a deal where when my car warms up (after 10-15 min or so), the CEL comes on and tells me its the o2 sensor.

her car is an obd2 and you need a special scan tool to retrieve the codes. Most likely the cel was tripped by the IAT sensor
