Check engine light came on..
Today i was driving, and my check engine light was on for a minute, anyone have any ideas? Could it be the battery as i think my battery is close to dead beacuse my deck does not seem to be working and yesterday my car did not start the first few tries, sounded like the battery was dead.
Any help would be appreciated... |

To retrieve codes (they're also in the How-To Locker):
1) Remove the kick panel just beside the left foot rest on the driver's side. 2) Locate blue wires. 3) Locate black connector. Hold it notch up. 4) With ignition off, insert one of the wires into top row, 2nd pin from left. 5) Turn key to on position, but do not start the car. 6) Watch blinky check engine light on dashboard. Count blinks. Long blinks = 10, Short blinks = 1. 7) Keep watching blinky light until you get mesmorized. You may want to clear codes to make sure that old codes are removed from system before determining problem. I would personally read codes now, clear the codes, then wait until the CE light comes on again to retrieve the codes. To clear codes: 1) With engine off, stick the blue wires to 1st and 2nd pin in the top row counting from left on the black connector, with notch facing up. 2) Start car. Shut off car. Remove pins. 3) Read codes to make sure they are clear. No codes = steady blinks at 1/4 second intervals. -- 1988 and Later Models with Multi-Point Fuel Injection -- CODE PROBABLE CAUSE 11 Crank Angle Sensor or Circuit 12 Starter Switch or Circuit 13 Cam Position Sensor or Circuit (TDC Sensor on Justy) 14 Fuel Injector No. 1 (Legacy, Impreza, Justy, SVX) 14 Fuel Injector No. 1 and 2 (XT, Loyale, GL, DL) 15 Fuel Injector No. 2 (Legacy, Impreza, Justy, SVX) 15 Fuel Injector No. 3 and 4 (Loyale, GL, DL) 15 Fuel Injector No. 5 and 6 (XT-6) 16 Fuel Injector No. 3 (Legacy, Impreza, Justy, SVX) 16 Fuel Injector No. 3 and 4 (XT) 17 Fuel Injector No. 4 (Legacy, Impreza, SVX) 17 Fuel injector No. 1 and 2 (XT-6) 18 Fuel Injector No. 5 (SVX) 19 Fuel Injector No. 6 (SVX) 21 Coolant Temperature Sensor or Circuit 22 Knock Sensor or Circuit (Right Side on SVX) 23 Air Flow Meter or Circuit (Exc.

It'll blink, regardless. Either an even blink (OK) or long and short blinks (code).
Make sure you insert wire with key in OFF position, then turn the key to ON (not start the car). VK |

It could just be a bad connection from the terminals to the battery. Mine was doing the same thing and the light would come on randomly and go off whenever it felt like. Check your connections out.

Make sure you're using the smaller black connector. You may need to dig it out a bit.
