Check engine light is on, why?
My 03 has 100,000 mi on it so today I changed the plugs and sprayed some carb/choke cleaner into the throttle body to clean it up, now the "service engine soon" light is on and I have driven the truck over 20 miles since I changed the plugs. What's causing this?

Either there is sumething un/misplugged or the cleaner has fouled something out.
As noted, needs a scan tool.

A sensor was unpluged when I started the trruck after I changed the plugs and I think that is what caused the light to come on. I don't have a scanning tool so I just disconnected the battery for an hour reconnected and the light went off. No problems since.
