CHECK Engine

Ok I replaced my alternator on Friday and the car was fine. Yesterday when I was driving around the check engine light came on, so i checked the oil through the computer, first it told me that pref. serv. on time or something like that then I checked it again and it said that the oil was too much. I dunno what to do i just brought it in the shop and I have to bring it again this sucks...is there a way to check the tranny fluid I was looking around for a dipstick and couldnt find one..thanks

Check Engine usually pertains to emissions.. MAF malfunction is a common problem for the 208's..

MAF=Mass Air Flow Sensor..

You need to pull the code to be sure...

Good Luck!
