Stupid me finished up last night, and tried to start the car with out the ECU hooked up. I plugged 'er in and she started right up. Just 2 small things.

The Service engine soon light is on

The Clock say EP. What in the world does that mean???? I am talkin about right below the milage counter. There is a pic attched.

 

Have a code reader?

Could try plugging in the ECU and isconnect the batt for 20+mins then reconnect the battery and see if the codes go away.

 

I'll go to the auto parts store and have the code read. The main thing that worries me is the EP on the clock.

Any ideas?

 

hhhmmmm....let's seee...

....Electronic Problem??
....Expectant Parent??
....Electromagnetic Polypropolene
.... ...just kiddin'..!!!

SORRY...I'M NOOOO HELP..!!!

 

I've unhooked the battery. Hopefully that'll fix it. If it doesnt, I'll have the auto parts store read it for me, then clear it.

 

EP is emergency program - presuming you drive an automatic; it's a "limp mode" for the auto transmission! :(

 

Are you serious??? It seems to drive fine!

Oh Man.

 

I've seen that EP many times. As Ian said its related to your auto tranny. Something aggrevated it. Has the car received the recall wiring harness for the tranny? Mine did that about once a week till they fixed the wiring.

 

I dont know if it is part of the recall, but this is the first time it has ever happened.

 

Just got back from Oreilly Auto Parts. No codes...hmm. Well, all the lights are off and she's drivin like a champ!

 

Maybe it just had to do some re-learning after the disconnection ...

 

Probably. Something else that I noticed is that the drivers window goes down an inch evertime I re hook up the battery. Also, it subtracted 1 mile from the ODO! lol

 

Now all you have to do is disconnect the battery 35,000 times and you will have a "new" car!

 

Close, only 7,600 times!!!!!

 

I was close!
