I have a 2000 Durano 4.7L. The check engine light came on. Engine is running fine. My neighbor has an OBD, so we checked for a code. The scanner showed no pending codes, and could find no codes althogether. He reset the light, but it came back on as soon as I started the engine. We tried several times, but the light will not reset.

thanks for any suggestions,

Paul

 

get the d to read them to you. turn key from off to run position three times and leave on the 3rd time where the odometer display is it will say codes and when its done it will say Pdone

 

Thanks for the advice. It reads P done, and that's all. No code, just the milage and P done.

 

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The display reads P done, for about 5 secs then returns to the mileage, and that's it. No codes are displayed.

 

thats kinda weird. try disconnecting neg cable then hold key to start position for about 30seconds this method i hear resets the computer

 

I left the battery disconnected for 6 hours, and still the light remains on.

thanks,

Paul

 

I had that same thing. Check light, no code. I started checking all the grounds that were easy to get to, and cleaning them off. I also reset the computer 6 or 7 times. That ended up working for me.

 

Thanks for the reply, I hope that it will just go away. There doesn't seem to be a problem. It's just annoying .

 

Paul...make sure you have the correct gas cap installed (and that it is tight)...the problem could also be the Clockspring (reference Haynes manual for location and removal)...good luck...

 

Why would a bad clockspring signal a CEL? That seems like a no go. I would suggest the trick that was previously mentioned by Duralude09.
