HID Install, Service Engine Light. HELP!

Liquidfx17 · September 20, 2014

new Guy here. Just installed my Morimoto 3Five DSP kit. With the XB35 bulbs, HD H11 Relay, and capicator link. All seemed to go ok once i figured out where i was gonna mount the 3 ground wires, run power to them, and realized that the relays needed to be mounted closer to my passenger side light so i could get to the batter terminal. So my capicator link hooked into my passenger side headlight. Kit only came with one, so i figured running into one headlight, it then ran threw the harness so all should be good.

Install done, started the truck put it in drive. HIDS come on. I can control them automatically to by my knob if i want them on all the time.

Only problem is..the service engine light is now on! Did i miss something? The only question i had at the end of the install was i plugged my harness directly into my driver side ballast, rather then the HID harness directly into the ballast, hence leaving that HID oem style plug not being used.

Any help would be great!!

The check engine light will reset by itself, or if you chose, disconnect the battery wait 15 mins and reconnect the battery. the check engine light will reset.
