I went out to change my sprinters oil this morning and the yellow check engine light stayed on after the starting sequence. I checked my manual and it pretty much said bring it into the shop.
I'd like to avoid that if possible and see if there is anything I can do on my own. What should I check out?
Last week of I was messing with the 6 pin trailer wiring in back after my 6 pin plug died otherwise I've done nothing to the van in the past few months other than replace the resonator and turbo hose about 6 months ago.
Would running the battery low possibly cause the check engine light to come on? When we were working on the trailer plug connection we were constantly cycling through the lights to check the trailer. If that's the case I might hook the battery tender right up to the battery while it's in the van. If I do that do I need to disconnect the battery from the van. Or is it alright to leave everything plugged in with the battery tender attached?
Any help would be appreciated.
