okay...so, it come down to a time which i gotta try resseting the ECU...
.....just started my car up this morning and everything was okay.....then about 8~10 mins of driving i stopped.....had engine turned off about 10 mins....then when i started up the engine, TCS and SLIP lit up with CHECK ENGINE SOON......so turned engine off and on again....then just the CHECK ENGINE SOON lit up.....then it stayed that way....i tried to reset my ECU....i peeled off the sticker that covers the hole for the reset screw....and when i put my screw driver inside i feel that i`m sticking my screw driver on to some springy thing so i stopped there...and it's weird how the sticker says...."IDLEADJUSTMENT".....and has bunch of small lettering directions about self diagnosis.....help me out...!!!...checked all fuses but cant find the TCS fuse....and removed the connection of the battery for 3 mins...nothing worked...!!!:rolleyes: :(

Look closely in the hole you now have where it says idle adjustment. Use a flash light, you should see a flat screw head in there. You need to turn that screw colckwise all the way until it stops, then counterclockwise again until it stops, then repeat clockwise, counterclockwise. All while your ignitiion is in the ON position with the engine OFF.
If that does not work, disconnect the battery OVERNIGHT and your light will be off. If you have a problem going on, your light will come right back on again. At this time you should get the codes from your ECU. To do that, turn the screw only once clockwise, then counter clockwise, look on your dash and the check engine light will be blinking. Watch the patterns closely. Long, then short pulses seperated by longer wait times are the numbers you need.
Example - 2 long pulses followed by 3 short ones = 0203. There may be more then one error code so pay attention to the light patterns. Post your findings and I'll look up the code and tell you whats wrong with your car.
