Default New yellow top, now check engine light

OK so the ole' factory battery died this weekend so I took the oppertunity to get a yellow top . Now my check engine light is on and wont go off. I checked for codes and there arnt any. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
I searched and found some people had the light come on and flash 10 or so times after a dead battery. But mine is a constant.

Thanks in advance.

I am having the exact same issue along with MyGig problems. Started a new thread before seeing this one. Hopefully we get some help!

If the light is on, ther nis obviously a code...

Do you have a super chips or the like to properly scan for codes??



Or use your pro-cal to clear the codes. That should fix it unless something is actively causing it to come on
