Funny CEL light

Here is a strange one. If I park my car and its leaning the least bit to the side, when I start it up, the CEL is on. It shuts off the next time I start it up. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

EDIT: It runs fine when the light is on

I would check the codes. Mine ran fine with the light on also( it was a 21 code, coolant temp sensor) for a while until it came on and STAYED ON Then I had the problems. So check for the code and fix it before it gets worse.

Seems that gravity is playing a role here. Can it be a loose connector or broken wire?

Take care of that SVX,

John

Yeah I am thinking even a fluid sensor. Not that its bad but when she is leaning the fluid might go below normal. I reallydont feel like paying $65 just to pull a code that goes away next time I start it up. Cool Color man

You don't have to pay $ to check your codes. Just check the How To section to see how to do it. It is very easy
