Default Ecm won't reset?
Ok I got a SES light the other day, found 2 bad air check valves (one of them had a crack in it) , replaced them and reset the ecm, SES light won't go away, it's there even before I start the engine, and won't go away even if I drive it. Since I live in Sweden it's not very easy to find anyone that can scan it?? Any Ideas, Is there something that could trigger a SES without starting the engine?

It will always be there until you start the engine.
