QUESTION: Thank you, I have done that and the light disappeared for about 3 seconds and came back on. I tested again to see what would come up and now E.52 and E.55 disappeared but E.85 still shows up. What do I do next?? What does it mean??

THank you very much!

Answer
E85 means that the throttle body on the engine needs to be serviced.

If you look down inside the throttle body where the throttle valve is located you will see a blackish residue buildup on both sides of the throttle plate and surrounding area of the throttle body. This carbon residue needs to be cleaned OFF of the throttle plate and the surrounding area with a suitable spray cleaner.

Then you need to CLEAR (erase) the CODE E85 from the computer and perform a re-learn process for the computer.
