you have the wrong car if you can't afford to get things fixed... try to get an extended warranty!

First you should disconnect your battery from the negative terminal and leave it off for about 20 seconds. This will reset the ECU. Now if the light comes back on after a few miles or more, it could either be your EGR, O2 sensor or something else. If you removed your intake box and you unplugged your MAF, that could have triggered the fault. Reset your ECU first and see what you get. If you have any questions, e-mail me or post in our forum at www.teamsc3.com.

Good Luck!
