Ghost SES Code

Ghost SES Code
Anyone ever have the SES light on but no codes? I have a OBDII reader that's pulled other codes in the past but doesn't read anything in this case. I clear the light and then drive a few more miles and it pops back on but is blank again. Is it time to get the electrical tape out and just cover it up or is there a fix
?

i've never heard of the cel coming on without actual codes registering. I'm thinking your scanner is messed up or can't communicate with the car for some reason. Did you try manual reading the codes with the gas pedal?

That's odd. I've never heard of a "ghost" light that has no actual code behind it. Although, my Odyssey has had a CEL on-and-off for the past week or so and I haven't had a chance to scan it when it was actually on.
ECU perhaps? Although I won't jump to that conclusion just yet. Try the manual way of reading the code(s) and get back to us.

Well this just happened to me earlier today. Changed my rear O2 sensors yesterday and cleared the P0037/38 codes, passed inspection and drove about 70 miles, then the light came on but had no codes present.

Light came on today after clearing it a few days ago. The OBDII scanner didn't pick up any codes but with the manual gas pedal method, I got 10 4 5 5 for the flashes. I looked around but couldn't find if this translates to a P code? any thoughts?

ie. 6 fast flashes, and 2 slow flashes would equal "0602"
ie. 14 fast flashes, and 4 slow flashes would equal "1404"
I could have this improper though, I've had my OBD2 for a long while now haven't done the old way for some time.
If your scanner can do real-time monitoring, enter that stage and that should tell you if the ECU, OBD2 port and scanner are co-operating with each other, of if there is an issue.
