Why do people do this? The codes contained by the computer before you disconnected the battery would have provided some very useful, and economically beneficial, data pointing to the actual problem. When you get a CEL or MIL, get the codes read (and written down) before you clear them. Without the codes, you are throwing money in the dark, usually at the wrong targets. Even a simple $50 pocket scanner probably could have more than paid for itself in just this one problem............
