check engine light

My expy was involved in an accident that involved three good jolts. A van collided with it in the drivers side rear door, then a car in the drivers side front tire and fender, then all three vehicles slid together as the car hit a pole. My truck has been repaired but the check engine light has been on ever since. It stays on at all times and doesn't go off. The truck is going back on Monday for some other repair issues and they are supposed to diagnose it but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to what might be the problem.

More thank likely someone missed hooking up a sensor. I'm going to predict this will go well for you.

It does drive very well after the repairs, actually straighter than before. They put in the cam kits when aligning it. I'm hoping the cause of the light is something so minor, but it is too easy to expect worse after a collision like that.

have you tried resetting the check engine light by disconnecting the battery?

Since the cables were cut by the F.D. at the accident, they have been replaced so it has been reset.

Take it to AutoZone & have them scan it for codes; they'll do it for free. Then post the codes here, & maybe we can point you in the right direction.
