Was on the way to have the MH serviced today and about 3 miles from the shop I get a Check Engine Light :M. So I called this afternoon to see what's up, and they tell me they've cleared the code and it was for oil change past due time (as in # of days). See I only put about 3000 miles on the coach last year and it'd been a year since last change. So I guess the computer keeps track of not only miles since last change but # of days too. So no big repair costs! :B

maintaince lite would come for oil change,check eng. lite is for code in computer if they cleared that code it will come back.

If you feel there are no other problems,start the engine and hit the gas pedal 3-4 times, that should clear it

Person sold me my Class A said same thing about CEL - time for oil change. What did I know, I had never owned a Ford V-10. Engine ran like a Singer sewing machine! After buying a code reader I traced code down to a severed wire. Dang mouse! Easy fix once I found the wire end.

Maybe the OP was mistaken about it being the check engine light and it was the maintenance light instead. Easy mistake to make.
