Check Engine Light Issue
Hello, new to the forums. I just bought a 1996 Ls 400 with 180,000
miles. The interior and exterior are flawless. The previous owner took very
good care of the Ls. I am currently the second owner. The car was regularly
maintained. I have owned the car for about 3 days. All of a sudden I was
experiencing loud noises while turning the wheel. I came to discover the car
was low on P/S fluid and just needed a fill. After that was taken care of the
problem went away. Once again the steering performed beautifully with no
noise. However before the fluid was topped off, and the noise was getting
bad, the check engine light came on. I then proceeded to take care of the
low P/S fluid. After the noise went away and the steering was back to
normal the engine light stayed on. Is there a reset button that the valvoline
guys missed or is it possibly staying on for a different problem. Everything
seems fine, exhaust has small leak that I will be having patched. But the
light came on when the fluid was low.(seems to be related). Help
Please!
