Check engine light after exhaust modified
Hi Guys,
I hope you guys can help me out here, Today i took my car to an exhaust shop to get another resonator added in to quieten my exhaust. When they finished putting it on, they handed the car back to me. When I started the car, 5-7seconds later the check engine light pops up and stays on. So I tell the guy and he puts the car back up to check his work. Tells me that he didnt touch any of the sensors or anything while working on it and the exhaust guys were trying to pin the problem on me saying that it 'could' have been on before I took it to them. I'm like no piss off the light has never popped up for me and only showed when you guys modified the exhaust.
They checked most of the connections to the sensors etc but couldnt resolve the problem. They told me to give it a day and it 'should' automatically come off. I was so late for work then I was just like ok fine i'll give it a day.
Driving to work from the exhaust shop felt normal, nothing abnormal was happening with the car besides the light. The revs werent fluxuating or anything. Could it be that my car is adjusting to the new exhaust? Or could it be a sensor in the catalytic converter? I dont have much knowledge about it.
From reading the above could anybody tell me what could have happened that triggered the engine light? And what are my rights if something majorly went wrong? I didnt cause the check engine light.. Will I have to pay Honda to clear it? help!~
Clem.
