CHECK ENGINE LIGHT Help:)
Ok so a while ago my check engine light came on andit wasn't blinking or anything it was just on. It was showing a code for my tps (throttle position sensor) so I replaced it with the tps from my other SVX. Before I had changed it the light started blinking. After I did the swap I pulled the codes again and it showed no codes, but my light won't turn off..its still blinking at me, but everytime I try to clear them or read them it says there are no engine codes? Could it just be an electrical problem and if so how the heck do I fix it?

Did you reset the ECU all together? Like, pull the ECU fuse for 45 minutes, put it back in and re-learn it?

If it blinks about 16 times when you first put on the ignition, this means you have a transmission fault.
Go to the How-To documents above, and run the routine for checking the transmission codes. Joe

Where is my ECU fuse? And it doesn't blink a certain amount of times. When the car is on it blinks until I turn it off whether its 10 seconds or 10 hours

Was this issue ever resolved?
Another way to reset the ECU codes is by using the 2 blue wire method as described in the codes section of the SVXipedia on http://svx-iw.com.
