So, did you get it sorted out? I'm going on a two week trip to Sweden on Monday, so..

 

Thanks again for the offer. I just gave in and bought a cheap scanner. (not as cheap as the Harbor Freight ones, but whatever.) I scanned and cleared it. There were some history codes from when I Seafoamed it and a P0420. I've scanned and cleared the P0420 four or five times since then so I guess it's about time to go get my free cat from a dealer.

 

I just got that done. I used Seaside Pontiac & GMC on Miramar Rd. No problems at all getting them to do it.

 

A friend of mine had that problem and the dealer replaced the cats under warranty. The bastards charged him $100 for scanning it, and clearing the codes when the warranted cats were the only problem. I couldn't believe it.

 

sorry bud, have to be in the Military. I have not lived in Kane county in IL for over 5 years, but because I am in the military, I am essentially an IL resident till I get out of the Marine Corps and go live somewhere else.

 

A quick update:

It was the cat. I had the diagnostic done yesterday. It'll be replaced under warranty today.

I'm glad because it'd kill me to have to pay $99 for a diagnostic to tell me my o2 sensor is bad.

Edit: Got the car back. It was all free thanks to the warranty. They even gave the car a quick wash.

Now my SES light doesn't come on when I put the car in "ON". I'm concerned.

 

TTT because search didn't help.

 

It should come on. You'll even fail smog in some states if it doesn't come on when you turn the car on.
