What's up,
Well as everyone has experienced (or will experience) on this board, my car was throwing a code 41. Since my car was already running on 62,000 miles I decided I might as well change it. So after I get it changed at the shop I start driving and I see the CEL light come on and I think "ahh that's cool I can just clear it myself by disconnecting the battery or pulling the fuse" so I go home. Well after disconnecting both of the cathodes of the battery (and pushing on the brake pedal to clear any electricity in the lines) it still comes on after my engine is running for a minute. So I go to the other method and pull my 7.5 amp back up fuse for about a minute.... and BAM the light still comes on after the engine idles for a minute. I check the code and yeah, it's still throwing code 41 so now I come to two possibilities:
1. Somehow this damn car has a memory and I cannot clear this CEL code unless I get someone with a diagonostic tool to clear it for me.
2. The shop didn't install it right and it's time to cause a ruckus. I thought it might be this because they had a hard time putting the new sensor in, and a couple of times it bumped into dirty hoses.
My question is if anyone was ever able to clear a code 41 using the battery/fuse method. I've read on only one board that you cannot clear a code 41 using these methods, but I'd like to know if any has done it.
Well thanks for reading my novel and I hope if you have any info you can post it up for me.
Thanks,
Jake
got a new O2 sensor installed but I still can't clear the CEL by disconnecting the battery/fuse! HELP PLEASE!
