OBD I & OBDII
lil drummer boy.......My understanfing of the OBD system is that it will turn on the Check Engine Light when it has encountered an Emissions Error. Your "sucking the bottom" of your tank created an emission error so the ChecK Engine Light popped on. The OBD will turn the light off once you have made three (or 4, I can't remember) complete engine cycles (Starting the car..driving until the engine reached Normal Op Temp. and then off). The gas cap not being tightened will cause a similiar error.
I had an Exploder that did it frequently (to the EX..I never go below a 1/4 tank unless it is once a month for a complete run on the tank to the "Low Fuel".....)
Glad things worked out!
SmokeDatRicer<<< You Sir may have a wiring issue....I have a 2003 that encountered, after engine seating, a low oil level....but the Oil Light did not come on.... This idiot light is usually reserved for an oil PRESSUE issue. Oil Pump may not be getting the correct signals. You can go to any reputable ASE certified shop that can pull the codes and they can tell you where to go from there. If they are good, they will go to "bat" for you as a middleman with the Dealership. You DO NOT have to take it to the dealer. It will cost around $70.00 to get the codes pulled, or you can try to figure it out yourself. That is up to you. I DO NOT recommend your "speedy" oil change places, regardless of the Franchise. I have located a reputable shop that can perform warranty work and extended warranty work, as well as your usuual run-of-the-mill tech problems. IMO my auto tech is up there with my Primary Care Physician.
Good Luck!
