Just had my car jumped now my check engine light is on also it says change oil
Answers from the Automotive Experts
Hello,
Thank you for writing in. Jumping the vehicle may have made a sensor or the computer glitch. Have the light reset by a technician or at an automotive parts store. Anyone with a scan tool should be able to turn the light off. The vehicle may also reset itself after it has been driven a certain number of miles.
However, there is always a chance that the check engine light is valid. There may be a code that is trying to tell you something, and you may want to have the codes pulled before the technician clears the codes with a scan tool. Check your oil anyway just to be safe and sure, it only takes a moment. Good luck!
