check engine light on

My check engine light on my 89 pickup, 22re keeps coming on. The light has been coming on for about 3 months now and every time, I just unhook the battery it turns off and then comes on about a week later. The truck is running fine.

What can cause the light to come on??

Oh my God!!! You're truck is about to explode!!! RUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!

I'm jus' kiddin'. My wife and I used to freak if the CEL ever came on when we first got a fuel injected vehicle.

As for yours....don't know. There's a million and one threads on how to pull the codes from the ECU. Do a search, mate.

Do I have to have a special computer to read the codes. I'm not too worried about it I just hate having that light on and always being there in the corner of my eye.

No, man...just a paper clip and the ability to count to ten. Here's a sight for you to read.
