Check engine light whenever gas tank if FULL ____?
« on: September 21, 2006, 12:42:13 PM »
Another thing with my friends ride,

Whenever she fills up the tank to FULL on her tracker the engine light comes on.
(she does not overfill)
Then maybe when it goes down to about half... it turns off.

(and we both have checked that the cap is properly tightened)

I believe when that happens its actualy a check "wallet" lights. The tracker is just telling you that you got ripped off at the pumps.  ;D

What year?   

I just had to replace a FUEL Tank PSi switch on  96 Tracker.  The switch / sensor was bad.   

On the OBDII, (As I understand) once the code is set (5 failure occurances) it will hold the code and light the CEL for (Test / No Fail) 50 start cycles.

Don't remember exactly, But from the dealer it was stupid expensive...   

I got mine used from Sean at Aftermarket4x4.com for a very reasonable price.
