      RW> That's interesting. Why would that code fail the system? It has nothing       RW> to       RW> do with emissions.              In Maryland, the car will fail the emissions test if the CEL is on regardless       of what the code is. They also ensure the computer reports all tests passed       (and none still in progress), which keeps you from being able to cheat by       clearing the codes or resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery.              I didn't realize the CEL light had anything to do with items other than       emissions. When I read the code on the Durango and it said "power steering       high pressure sensor", I was caught off guard. I replaced it and the code       went away, but had forgot to add more fluid at the time. I didn't have any on       hand and like many things, if you don't do it right away - you forget. It was       about 2-3 inches low in the reservoir recently which was causing that noise.              My daughter's car has an EGR low flow error when she first bought it. I found       the problem to be a clog in the EGR port in the manifold (near the intake).       The port was clogged with carbon and crud. I have the software and cable       needed to tell me when the car will pass with no issues after a reset of the       system. Once I saw the program report a green pass, I took it over right away       to be tested. :) It passed, of course.               - Mark              --- WWIVToss v.1.50         * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0)    |
