Timing belt replacement and what you need to know
This should give your engine management system enough time to reset. It is safe to drive your car with the check engine light on so long as no other engine problems are apparent, but you must still get your car to your repair shop for a checkup as soon as possible. A delay in proper check engine service could cause damage to your catalytic converter. Do not take your car to a parts shop that offers check engine light service. The employees can only translate the trouble codes for you, not repair the problem itself.
