They should have reset it when they serviced it. (in reply to tinalcam) Post #: 2

Don't wait too long or rack up alot of miles from when you drove off from that particular shop or it might be more difficult to get them to do it free of charge. No matter how trained or skillfull the technician (or not), there is always such a thing of making a mistake. There are many different reasons why that check engine light came on- have it checked out so you know for sure. Joel, CA (in reply to tinalcam) Post #: 6

Will charge me $70.00 JUST to look at it and put my Montero Sport 2002 on their computer. I had already gone to AutoZone and was told "for free" the codes po161 were for Oxygen Senor 2, bank 2. I had also gone to a Firestone first just to get a price range with this code in hand. Rep stated almost $250 WITH no guarantee that light would come off. Basically dealer quoted me same price. I guess I will save up and see what they can do.  By the way I have been driving it this way since Feb 07 _____________________________ tony r (in reply to Joel_CA) Post #: 7
