#673746 - 05/11/10 10:29 AM Seafoam treatment - Check Engine Light??
tbonez18 Member Registered: 09/09/09 Posts: 11	Ok so I did the Seafoam treatment for the first time to my 03 xterra. Everything seemed to go ok, lots of white smoke! But after I turned the engine off and restarted it again my Check Engine light came on? I drove it around the block but the light was still on. Does this mean something bad? Has this ever happened to anyone before that did the Seafoam treatment? Will the light eventually go out on it's own or did I really just screw up my xterra??? Thank you

I'm going to assume that everything is ok with it and that it cleared itself. But i still might go over tmr and check it out. I'm just glad the light went out. Thanks guys

You may not find anything, but it may be better to know for sure... -G _________________________ '03SE BFG AT/KO Custom fuse panels for electrical mods Custom backup solution mod (lights/camera/monitor) Custom switched power outlets (8+ total) Lots-o-Lights (6 driving lights, 10 total) Original registration - Sep, '03 Pre-crash post count - ~1100
