I had a check engine light on I replaced the part then i erased the code and no check engine light but I scanned with a code reader and I have the same code but it says pending and I don’t have any other code but that pending one what does that mean?do I have to keep driving?Does it mean I didn’t drive long enough for the computer to relearn or what?? Thanks in advance if somebody can shed some light on me about this plz
I answered this question in your P0171 post: https://innova-electronics.helpscoutdocs.com/article/89-pending-stored-permanent-and-oem-codes
what does that mean?
it's all explained in the link.
"A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) set on the "first trip" of a "two trip" code."
do I have to keep driving?
as the article explains, the test failed once. If it fails again on the next drive cycle, the code will become confirmed/stored code, and the malfunction light on your instrument panel will come on. (problem is definitely there.) If it does not fail on the second trip, the code will go away. (no problem for now)
Does it mean I didn’t drive long enough for the computer to relearn or what??
it has nothing to do with "relearn"
Again, it means your car failed test 1 of 2.
