Service Engine Light

[CrappieCruncher]

I recently read a post about resetting the service engine light. I removed the drivers side kick panel and removed the red emissions box and put a small allen wrench in the make connection on the tabs.

AND IT WORKED!! The Service Engine light went out. Awesome!!

Then 5 minutes later the Check Engine light comes on and I got a printout from Autozone that says. "Catalyst Below Threshold"

What have I done?

Nothing, just clear the code and don't worry about it... the SEL is for the 85k emissions check and that is it. If you remove the red box vice just fixing it, then it will never come on again. Other wise in 85k it will come on again.

Thanks a bunch. I had autozone clear the code. and it hasn't come back yet. if it does the red box is toast.

Thanks Joey

Question so on Disco I where do I reset the service engine light I read it is located on the passenger side footwell what is the footwell. Is it the passenger kick panel anyone got an image of the control unit anything would help.

the kick panel is the panel which is on the right hand side of the passenger floorboard. the panel opposite the outside of the vehicle. Remove the cardboard type material under the glove compartment. then the side kick panel by removing the screws and you will find the elusive red box that is causing all the trouble.

When I reset mine the service engine light went off but now I get a low catalyst check engine light that keeps coming back.

Good Fortune to you.

Just to let you know, instead of reseting the red box, you can just remove it and never worry about it again.

so all it is; is a relay or at least thats what the box looks like
