engine light problem

[janicesthohk]

Something weird happened today after I used the brake booster line to suck in seafoam. I have done seafoam before on my brother's Prelude and my father's Camry...but I don't know why it would cause my engine light to come on. By the way, this is my first time doing seafoam on the P5.

Thanks!

Ive heard of this happening to people after doing it to proteges. They say to either sit and pump the brake till it turns off, or just disconnect your negative battery terminal, and touch it to the positive to clear the CEL

Just reset your ECm to clear the codes or if your just curious take it upto autzone and have them read it.

Disconnect the + battery terminal, then pump the brake...or turn on the headlights...or remove both + and - terminals and hold them together. Don't touch the - to the + with the + still connected! All you're doing is draining the excess charge from the system. A CEL after Seafoam is normal, and it should clear right away after resetting the computer with the procedure above.

Really? Thats a first... never had a CEL on the 10+ times I have done it.
