CEL after oil change????
Hi all
did my oil change this afternoon, disconnected the crank sensor to prime the system, reconnected it fired her up, let run for a few mins the checked oil level. Level was fine so turned off and put all my tools away. Turned car on to go shopping and got a lovely CEL?? any ideas?
Can i reset it or is it a dealer thing, anyway to read it with out a reader?
thanks in advance

thanks for the advice mate, it would seem my WRX has a one off mod fitted called the ******** Detector :-) it basically throws a CEL see me panic and then monitors my broadband until its satisfied that i have posted on SN and SNOC begging for help or advice and then clears the CEL therefore making me look like a dick lol
damn clever those japanese and their hidden mods.
Started the car again after going for a 10 min drive and the light was gone, thank god.

^^ does that do the same thing as disconnecting the crank sensor?
with regards to the CEL light, ive had it once before when the garage overfilled the oil!
i got my mate to suck it out, it was a litre overfilled.
so thats another thing to watch for when a garage is doing it.
