CEL fuse

[TomCat]

I'm having a heck of a time finding technical information during the Wiki "migration".
So: Where is the fuse to "clear" CEL (check engine light) codes?

Last year I had a stumble/CEL after driving for a while and determined it was a bad O2 sensor. Replaced and drove it for 9 months...no problem.

Then this month I got a HARD CEL upon start up one day. It flickered as I was going around a sharp corner (lateral Gs) and then the next time (that day) I started the car...no CEL!

This week I started the car...HARD CEL as soon as the ignition was on and no change after warm-up, driving, shut down. Its been on for 5 days!

I pulled the negative battery terminal, waited ~ 1 minute, re-attached, still CEL???

You have already cleared it by pulling the battery lead. Time to get the code.

Pull the 7.5A fuse in the front bay fuse box(Passenger side fenderwell) and that will clear the code.

Thanks,
I'm completely embarassed! I went to get the jumper I made the last time I did this and couldn't find it??? So, I made up another one and undid the plastic below the glovebox and guess what I found...I had left the jumper in-place and I guess it was not making contact (no CEL for 9 months)...and it just happened to jiggle, make contact and cause the light.

Removed it...problem seems to be solved!

Funny you mention this. Some time ago I had an NSX that exibited the strangest CEL I have ever seen. It would blink erratically at odd times. After some investigation I found that someone plugged a connector into the blue jumper plug!! Problem also solved.
