On my way around atlanta driving down here for work last week, merging to 285 from 85, I was merging over and a semi was merging with me, late at night, and I ended up hitting a gator (semi tire retread)

Been fighting with insurance.
shops around lagrange GA are either closed due to covid 19 or will not take my car, and i got my insurance to let me fix some problems so i can drive it back and take it to a local shop.

Of course there is front end damage and some other problems.

but biggest problem why I would not drive it was due to both rear O2 sensors ripped the wires and plug from the drivers side and passengers side the plug was on the O2 sensor but wiring harness plug was gone .

I have spare O2 sensors with me, but with plugs gone there is not much point in trying to get O2 sensors out in a hotel parking lot, so I spliced and rewired both O2 sensors back in.
cleared the codes and took for a drive, watching on torque the voltage looks like the sensors are working and that is fine.

My question is
My check engine light is still on, but if is not reading any codes. After test drive, even though the light is on.

I know it should have a code on the throttle position sensor, I have another pedal assembly ready to put in to clear that.


Has this happened to others before ?

I wanted to double check and see if something else came up or if I got a wire wrong.

But it does not show a code but the check engine light is on.

Hell if i know why.

She ran good on my test drive for 192,341 miles

I have a normally 9 hr drive home tomorrow, but going to take longer, and leaving in the morning and taking my time.


I guess what, insurance found me a bumper, fog lights lower grills.

I still have the fog light, lower grilles and bumper can be repaired, so i going to keep them for a just in case.
