Default Engine lite is always on.

engine lite stays on whenever key is on. Can't erase with scanner or disconnecting battery cables.

Used 2 different scan tools. The $35 dollar one read the same as a $400 dollar did. Occasionally an o2 will pop up and then disappear. This problem is there every time the key is turned on and engine running.
