in NYS, you can't get an inspection done with a CHECK ENGINE light on.
i'll guess it's a CO2 sensor.
Never heard of one of those. New England Liberals are always one step ahead of us.:jawdrop:

My 02 f-150 check eng light came on while out cutting. Any service techs out there recommend a good scan tool? BTW my VW check eng light is on again too.
I borrowed my brother's code scanner because all three of our vehicles have the check engine lights on. It is an Innova 3100 scanner he picked up at the auto parts store. It's handy to know what is causing the check engine light.
On the 99 Century, it is coming up with an evap leak code, tried a new gas cap, code comes back. It's getting good fuel mileage and runs fine so I am not worrying about it for now.
On the 96 Dakota it came up with a trans temp too low code. I recall one cold morning it wouldn't shift into OD for about 10 miles but it is now shifting fine.
On the 03 Caravan it came up with a cooling fan relay circuit problem. Replaced the relay but it wouldn't clear the code. Kept coming up with error.
Scanned my buddy's 98 F150, no codes stored but light was on. Cleared the light and it stayed off. He was happy.
Scanned my other buddy's 05 Jimmy, came up engine temp too low. He got his thermostat replaced and all was well. He had assumed it was an evap code and blamed it on the gas cap. He hadn't noticed it running cool but sure noticed the difference with a new thermostat.
Just my experience with the scan tool, very easy to use.
could be the Coolant Temp Sensor as well.jut for future reference.T stat may not always be the fix
Could be any one of dozens of parts.
Without the fault codes, you'd might as well fart into a hurricane.
