Check Engine Light Help
Hi all,
Looking for a little help. My '98 started throwing a CEL a few days ago. I did the ignition "on, off, on, off, on" and came up with codes 12 and 31.
According to the CEL thread here:
12 - Direct battery input to PCM was disconnected within the last 50 key-on cycles
31 - Evap purge flow monitor failure or evap solenoid circuit
Unfortunately, lol, I have no idea what either of those mean?? Can anyone help me out?
If I pull the battery for a while will it reset the codes?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Just give it a look over. Chances are it needs changed. I would not change mine. You dont need it. Just so you know that the canister in the passenger side fender the black round or box thing is also part of it. Then it runs all the way to the back to the gas tank. Cant a loose gas cap also throw that light off?

ok so I changed the oil today and while I was doing that I had disconnected the negative battery terminal. I did check those hoses and they looked tight and whatnot so I dont think that is the problem. Anyways, I reattached the battery terminal after about 30 minutes and now the CEL is not on. So I am hoping that it was a loose gas cap or something that set it off. Thanks again for your help guys!!
