RE: Quick OBD-II question, I think



No Malfunction Indicator Lamp [MIL] before dealer service , Hmmm, suggest return to " dealer" , they should be able locate problem quickly with a Tech2. Sounds like an "OOPS" on dealer's part here. One last thing , as mentioned in a previous post , make certain that Fuel Cap isn't loose , this condition, if exist, will prompt a M.I.L. as fuel tank
 pressure sensor will "see" the pressure drop from loose fuel cap.
   FYI , S.E.S. = Old Term ,  M.I.L . = New Term.

  SES Flash Codes are NLA on OBD2. Necessary to use OBD2 Scan tool to
retrieve "Codes". See if the SES clears itself in 4 drive cycles, this is
part
of the OBD2 protocol "Monitors, especially if the vehicle appears to operate
correctly with no obvious driveability problems.
