Post subject:  Yehaaw - No Codes! Now with photos
For the last 5 years I have been driving around with the lit CEL glaring at me. I have a scanner so I knew what the codes were, a couple glow plugs and of course the EGR valve. But it is time to sell as we are now empty nesters and don't need a four door SUV anymore. So I figured I would have to finally fix the issues.

Getting the battery, fuel filter assembly, charge hose, FCV, intake elbow, alternator bracket, various hoses and wires out of the way made it a PITA job rather than a knuckle-busting, blue streak cursing misery. The intake elbow, EGR and pipe joining them were choked with CRD Goo. The EGR valve was stuck shut with the goo. Various improvised scrapers (table knife), a couple cans of carb and brake cleaner and a pile of rags got everything cleaned up. I also cleaned the charge hoses and they showed no signs of deterioration. VIP tools for this job are hose pliers, a mirror and a strong flashlight.

With everything removed the glow plugs were easy. I installed one new ceramic I have had for a couple years and one Etechno. It started right up, I cleared the old codes and the CEL went out and stayed out. :BANANA:

So now it is ready to sell. Check it out in the Trading Post, '05 Limited with 76,000 miles.

Look Ma, no CEL!!

Still no code 3 days later. And I just did a base brake fluid change.

Thanks. It has been the best tow vehicle I have ever owned, strong, maneuverable and economical. I regularly got 19 mpg towing my 5x12 utility trailer. Its replacement, a Nissan Frontier pickup is no match in towing abilities, but it does have a bed I can fill with all my junk. The CRD engine in front of the 6 speed in the Frontier would be a perfect combination.

Good luck with yours. Do the EHM, it will save you a world of aggravation.

Wait, you can turn the check engine light off?!?! I thought it was the "everything is okay" alarm.

CELs are to dealerships what overdraft fees are to banks. :twisted:

Thanks, USA. I like those big chrome grills on the Limiteds, just the right amount of bling.

I like them too, but since I have a silver limited, it doesn't do much.
