Yellow Emmissions Warning Light

My engine light the one described as the Emissions Warning Light just came on and stays on. I checked the service manual and it says if you change the tire size or the Exhaust system it could trigger the light to come on. I have done both, put the new Magnaflo Cat Back system on and changed the Wheels to 22 in. all around. Does anyone know if there is a procedure to compensate for those changes I made or will it have to go to the dealership to have the computer reprogrammed?

I didn't have any problems with the Mangnaflow cat back system and I don't recall others saying changing the wheel size affected emissions.
When my light came on, I did have to change my catalytic converters - after 60 or 70 something thousand miles.

Looking for one!

I agree that many here have similar mods with no issues so I'm not sure I would blame the wheels or exhaust just yet.

Hmmmmm, how about the gas cap? Can that cause the same light? I know it's an issue on some vehicles. If the cap is a little loose and the tank does not pressurize correctly it could set a light. Check the tightness and the condition of the cap, pull the fuse to reset the computer and drive it around the block.

Just a thought

Check the O2 sensor

You could also have an Oxygen sensor going bad - there should be a code set in your computer pointing to a bad O2 sensor if that is the culprit. Most have a lifespan of about 60,000 miles, but I've had them quit far sooner.
