OK my check engine light has been on for a little while now. Ive got the codes and looked em up and got the following....

117 (O,M) ECT sensor is/was low or grounded - ECT
218 (M) IDM signal open or high or left coil pack failure - Ignition Systems
171 (M) Oxygen sensor not switching - system was at adaptive limits - Single, Right or Rear HO2S - Fuel control
177 (M) Oxygen sensor not switching - system was rich Left or Front HO2S - Fuel control
116 (O,R) Engine Coolant (ECT) sensor out of range - ECT
172 (R,M) Oxygen sensor not switching - system is or was lean - Single, Right or Rear HO2S - Fuel control
538 (R) System did not receive "goose" test - TESTS
536 (O,R,M) Brake On Off open or shorted to ground - BOO


Oxygen sensor is easy to fix. My question is how do I fix 117, 218, 536. I had 116 before and changed the sensor by the thermostat housing. Thats brand new and the code went away after I changed it. Now it came back. Is there something else for that? Also I have disconnect the battery and let the computer reset and drove it a for a day before pulling these.

You really need to look at a wiring diagram and see if there is any common item for all these.

That's a lot of codes! I don't think I've ever seen that many in one shot before. You win the crown.
