OK so i just got my fujita CAI. Almost done installing it when i realized theyre was a part missing....so i gotta wait for fujita to ship it out. But i put my stock intake back on and everything runs fine, but the CEL is on....should i take it to the dealer? and if so should i tell them that i was installing a new intake.....cause that would pretty much void the warranty! help!!!!!

 

I definately woudn't tell em WHY its on...just tell em its on and you want it fixed. No problemo.

 

Have you reset the ECU yet? If you switched back to the OEM intake, you should do a reset and see what happens. Disconnect the battery for about 5 min... then let the car idle for about 15 min.

 

nothing voids your warranty

 

nevermind..i guess it needed to be driven for a little while...it went off after about twenty miles

 

and just an FYI....it can be voided....i have a salvage title...and scion said that wherever the damage was done, it will not cover if something goes wrong.

 

A salvage title is different story for the most part (actually, I dont think you technically have a warranty if they want to go that route on a salvage title). But NO mod voids a warranty. It is against the law to blanket void a warranty. Most people just dont know any better and believe the dealer when they say that. If your mod causes the issue, they dont have to cover that particular instance under warranty, but the warranty is still in tact.

 

hmmm thanks for the info engifeneer. as for the OP even though the light turned off, just be a bit careful. and make sure it doesnt come on again
