Check engine light came on?

[Jeff Kehoe]

My check engine light came on this morning. It stayed on until I shut it off, and when I started it after work it still stayed on.
I have a DC Performance Stage 2 Flash in it.
As soon as I took the DC Stage 2 flash out of it it went off. I have not driven it much this afternoon, but what could be the cause of this?
Any Ideas?? ths guy at DC said to check the Gas cap, but it seemed fine to me.
Thanks Jeff

it probably threw a code, then when you changed the comp the stock one didnt have the code but it will probably throw it again.

Well, The dealer workde my truck in right away, and it was just a lose connection on the Leak Detection Pump. The connection was full of rust and ice. They removed the K125 wire cleaned it and packed it with some grease, and cleared the code.
Just thought you guys would like to know about it.

Mine just came on too. I tried the key trick and it gave me code P1494, which according to the link above means: LEAK DETECTION PUMP SWITCH OR MECHANICAL FAULT - SRT10.
What does that mean? Can I drive it, or should I take it to the shop ASAP, anyone?

The whole leak detection system is designed to determine if harmful (to the environment) elements are leaking into the atmosphere. The code won't disable you or hurt performance. It will just turn on the light so you go to the dealer and have it fixed.

Thanks VA VIPERAM. Was getting worried there for a sec.
