Need help with engine codes.

Can someone please explain how to check engine codes?

Had the MIL come on, on my way to work this morning.

Thanks

Just cycle your key from the run position and back to off three times and your codes will show in the odometer area.

Thanks for the quick response.

What do I do about P0514?

Thanks

A Classic

Ahhh, P0514, so we meet again!



P0514 is battery temp sensor rationality. There are many people (including me) who have gotten this code on occasion for absolutely no apparent reason. It occurs when "the ECM does not read a change in battery temperature over time". It's only happened to me once, on a cold windy day as I was turning out of a parking lot and heading uphill into the wind.



It's a programming problem in the ECM, I believe. It is absolutely nothing to worry about, and should clear itself within 40 warmup cycles unless it continues to pop up. If it continues to pop up, then you'll want to replace the battery temp sensor.
