Gotta scan it to see for sure. Anything other than that is just guessing.
CEL after jumpstart?
So the other day I had to jumpstart my car, I believe the battery died because of me rerunning some wiring and such for my bags.
But the strange thing is I got to start the car.. nothing...
So I bring in ol' faithful the scion xb and give it a jump... took a lot of juice but eventually started... then a CEL came on like instantly, the car seemed to run SUPER rough for like 30seconds then was fine.... Granted the car has been sitting for little over a week due to certain parts being delivered on a horse and buggy...
Car is still immobile. (parts havent arrived) but what could this CEL possibly be?
Heard it would be voltage overload? But I unplugged the battery for 30 minutes then plugged back in and still came on instantly! Then I tried to leave it unplugged over night. Same problem.
Any input is appreciated.. Ive tried searching but none of the threads seemed to have a CEL pop up when jumpstarted.
Thanks,
Branden

Alright didnt know if there were any guaranteed codes to be thrown after being jumped.Gotta scan it to see for sure. Anything other than that is just guessing.
Thanks.
Stupid parts need to show up so I can go get it scanned :banghead:
It could be because you need a throttle body alignment because the battery died and some of the settings got erased. But like Steve said, only a scan will tell you what it is for sure.
:icon_eek::icon_eek: Would being chipped have an effect on this?It could be because you need a throttle body alignment because the battery died and some of the settings got erased. But like Steve said, only a scan will tell you what it is for sure.
Nope. It's nothing out of the ordinary.:icon_eek::icon_eek: Would being chipped have an effect on this?
