  • SES light question (flashes very quick on start up)

    When I turn my car on the ses light flashes on and off very fast then stays on (cause the car is on, but not running). When i start the car, it flashes on very fast, not even for a second then is off. Is this cause of my 02 simulator because i never noticed this before.

    Will that be a problem during inspection because It does come on when you turn the key into the on position (not like the bulb is bad or anything)

    Get it scanned to see what codes are being triggered. Flashing usually means Random Misfire, but in this case I doubt it.

          The SES should not be flashing very fast for less than a second on startup. It's not a normal SES caused by an exhaust leak or something, something isn't right.
