Driving in too high-water flooding and the check engine light is on?

Hi,

The first thing I am going to suggest is to have the computer scanned for diagnostic trouble codes. If you don't have a scan tool, most parts stores will do it free of charge.

Next, if there is nothing retrieved and since you were in high water, I would like you to have the can-bus scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different computers/modules are tied together via a few wires so they can communicate back and forth. If there is a code, this type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link that explains how to do it:

The difference between scanning the CAN and what most parts stores can do is the tool. Most parts stores will only have a scanner that can read engine codes.

Let me know your thoughts or if you have already had this done.

Take care,

Joe
