I installed my new headunit tonight and I was showing it off for awhile, occasionaly turning my engine on, but eventually everything just turned off, I started the car and the check engine light came on. Im thinking I ran the battery down, but it didnt show anything but the normal crap in the DIC. Is this possible to throw a cel for a low battery? I drove the car around beating the **** out of the engine on nice back roads to charge up the batt, still hasnt gone away, any ideas?

 

what's a cell? do you mean CEL?

 

Yes, sorry

 

If the battery gets too low it WILL throw a code.

 

Any tips for charging the battery up? Other than getting a charger

 

And how long till the light goes off?

 

beyond driving the car around for a bit or putting a car charger on it you can't really charge it any other way. The light will go off after critera has been met for charging battery or after several ignitions cycles or disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and hook back up.

I have a fat ex girlfriend that can channel all the suns harmful UV rays to solar panels that hard wire directly to the battery. Not only does it charge your battery but you get some extra bacon cook as well. You can't lose!!!!

 

that was kind of dicky...i think we know what he meant

 

Does revving the engine help charge the battery faster?

 

didn't mean it to come out that way. just wanted him to clarify that's all. he was talking about his battery so cell and CEL can be a lil confusing.

 

Finnaly went off, good stuff =)
