    Since the Check Engine Light stays on, the problem is with the ACG (ALT) (S) fuse, in the underdash fuse box; ECM (perform the K-Test); Main Relay; or the Ignition Switch. Perform tests in that order.

    . Check all underdash and underhood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Clean the main ECM ground, likely located on the thermostat housing.
