Default Engine Light On After Weapon R Secret Weapon Install

Put In The Weapon R - Secret Weapon Air Intake Today - Disconnected The Battery For Like 30 Minutes - The Car Ran A Little Hesitant On Take Off - All Was Cool Until Like 3 Hours Later - The Engine Light Turned On.

Anybody Have Ideas As To The Problem?

Hey man,

I just installed the SRT intake and had a CEL myself. I went to Autozone and asked them of they could clear the code. They said they weren't allowed to in case the car blew up down the road and they would be held responsible. So, I asked them if I could borrow the scanner and someone could come outside with me.

Anyway, I used the scanner to clear the code and thus far it has not come back on.

You should try this and see. Also, make sure your MAF plug is connected properly.

Your car is probably going to have to go through a certain amount of cycles before the car's ecu starts to adjust for the extra air flow. I would drive & then turn your car off. Start your car, drive again and turn your car off. Start your car, drive again & turn your car off. Do this 5 or 6 times. Make sure you drive like 5 miles in between start ups.

I remember when I had my SRT intake, on super cold nights, the CEL would come on. After about 4-5 start ups, it would disappear.

Make sure all of your hoses and clamps are on tight...

Lxogood - Thanks For The Advice - Well Since The Intake Has Been In The Car I Have Started It About 10-15 Times And Drove It About 80 Miles - Still The Light Is On - I Have Checked The Hoses Over And Over And Everything Seems To Be Correct - I Still Have No Idea Whats Going On.

I'll Be Calling Weapon-r First Thing On Tuesday.

Johnny - The Maf Is Installed Correctly - But I Haven't Had Time To Do The Autozone Thing - I'm Planning To Do It Tomorrow.

Last Weekend I Took The Intake Apart And Reinstalled It - The Light Was Off But Then The Intake "hiccuped" At A Light And The Light Turned On Again.

You can also follow these steps to clear ECU codes...

Go to the DLC1 connector under the hood (that's the connector with "DIAGNOSTIC" marked on top next to one of the Fuse/Relay box.
1- Connect (jump) the terminals marked "Tc" and "E1" (diagram is under cap)
2-Remove the SHORT PIN in the DIAGNOSIC connector
3-Turn ignition ON
4- Pump the BRAKE pedal 8 times within 5 seconds... this will clear the DTC code stored in the ECM
5-Remove the "Jump " wire used and reconnect the Shot Pin.

It's not hard. Worked for me when I had to clear my ABS sensors.

If you want to clear the light all you should have to do is disconnect the battery for 2 minutes or so unless thats just an SC thing.


Although if theres a legit problem the light off course will come back, why dont you check and see what code its running?
