    Default CEL on stock gen II - 2 weeks after 10000km service

    Hi,

    I've just noticed the check engine light turned on for the 1st time. My car is a gen II MPS with about 10,000km on the clock (10,000km service was 2 weeks ago). The car is completely stock in every single way so I was a bit suprised this morning when a CEL came on. I checked the owners manual about the light and it says I should go to a Mazda repair shop as soon as possible.

    Any one have any ideas what this CEL could be about? or ha the same thing happen?

    Might be a serious problem but I dont know.

    Stock with a CEL? Geez..... there is just no escaping these CELs!
    I have heard loose fuel cap can do it. Not sure if its true though.
    If shes stock id be taking it straight back. They'll sort you out.

    funny thing happened this morning, I turned on the car and no CEL. So weird. Might be a loose connection to one of the sensors?

    I had the same problem once, turned out to be "dirty" petrol. Did it happen not long after filling up? Where you on empty?

    I filled it up the night before the CEL happened from near empty.

    Take it to the dealer, they should still be able to read the code and tell you the cause.
