I encourage everyone to spend $20 and get a diagnostic tool. They can relieve a lot of anxiety when the dreaded check engine light comes on. Mine came on today and I was stoked to find out it was just the dumb auxiliary battery that this car shouldn't have in the first place.

Hey Homie! Not only do you make great videos like this one, but have found them for completely different vehicles we own in the past, all super helpful. Please keep it up!!!
@believeinheroes Жыл бұрын
Very helpful, thank you! Note, the vent hose was very loose on my replacement battery, it would have fallen out the minute I hit a bump in the road, so I had to use a bit of electrical tape to secure it.
@daviddeleon87544 жыл бұрын
I had the same code and read the battery and it was bad. Changed it and the check engine light is still on. That black tube at the end when job the hole in the back of the battery. Love the video. I would of saved lots of time if I would saw these first.

Which battery did u get
@markbren85732 жыл бұрын
I got a Auxiliary battery that's in the trunk. I also got a AGM battery later on for the main battery and really holds a good charge and every time I check the charge its always near 90-100% charge. I wouldn't go back to using lead acid batteries anymore.@@chevyssboy89
@OriginalWhiteDevil2 жыл бұрын
You need to drive it and test out the start/stop function to see if the check engine light comes back on. The module on top of the main battery won't engage the auxiliary if you just start it up and let it idle. The modules are known to go bad.
