Expand I believe it’s because it’s a very windy place. I only have four ski days there so can’t say with certainty if it’s true. In a normal year they receive far less snow than their north Vermont neighbors but this winter they’ve been getting lots of snow. 1 Quote

Expand Most CEL's are for emissions, but it is likely monitoring for misfires, oil pressure, etc, but my knowledge of the Chevy Shitsonic are limited, and since its a budget car, it may just do the minimum the government calls for as far as emissions. I can tell you when a CEL comes on in a newer Mack truck, it will at some point derate the engine and pretty much render it useless. I take those very seriously. 3 1 Quote

theprogram4 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Posted February 3, 2021 Whenever a CEL comes on, my co-worker tells customers no worries, it’s simply an anti-theft feature. Simply pull over, pop open the hood, and check that the engine is still there 1 2 Quote
