How would i reset the ECM to clear the Check enging light ?

I had the fuel pump replaced yesterday drove home ( didnot get any gas) truck is on E. when i started it this morning hte check engine light came on....

Hi, try disconnecting battery ground cable for 5 min. if that don't work do the key on-off-on- off-on to see what the code is. Dale

turn the Key ON, - Off-On-OFF then ON again and leave it on, the check engine light will come on then go off and a few seconds later it will start blinking count the blinks, there will be 2 separate blinking sequences for each code for instance

\ pause \ \ = 12

code 12 - power was lost to the PCM withint the alst 50 ignition cycles (battery was disconnected).

\ = CHECK ENGINE light flashes

for example if the PCM doesn't have any codes this is how it willl read

\ pause \ \

Pause, Pause, Pause, Pause

\ \ \ \ \ pause \ \ \ \ \

code 12 and code 55
55-= end of fault codes.

I hope this helps and isn't that confusing, the best way I have found to do it is to get a paper and pen and make a slash for each CHEKC ENGINE light flash, and then a break in between each digit, then move onto the next one.

if this is confusing, just let us know I will try to sum it up more, and make it easier

the odomoter said 55

ok well if the only 2 codes that came up was 12 and 55, then the COmputer didn't store any codes.

it was prolly only Codr 55, if u haven't d/c'd the battery in awhile then 12 wouldn't come up.

12 - power to the PCM was lost within the last 50 ignition Cycles (Starts).

55 - End of fault codes.

OK IT CAME ON AGAIN TODAY

12
21
55

21 is an O2 sensor or circuit .... i replaced the o2 last week ... any thoughts ? and how do i clear the 12 ?

dksob81

the 12 will clear on it's own, just don't d/c the battery
after about 50 starts it iwll go away

DUlrich1227

is your CHECK ENGINE light on constantly.

check to make sure it is plugged in, it has to be unplugged

Hi, if the code keeps coming up there could be something wrong. Check the wiring on the oxygen sensor , it could be burnt or frayed somewhere. Check around exhaust manifold and the front driveshaft. Dale
