The chip plugs in the back of the computer test port. Yes, I supose it could throw a "check" light. I had one in a 95 linc. mark 8 that did that and I took chip out and cleaned computer terminals were chip plugs in with a little alchol and green scotch brite pad but be GENTLE. Problem is I am a Mustang man and dont know were your computer is at. May be in one of the kick panels or in the dash just to the left of steering wheel. Keep in mind also that there are at least 20 other reasons for a "check" light. If cleaning chip dont work then I would take it to shop and have them "pull" out the code. That will drastically narrow down your choices. Nothing you ever add or do to a car that kicks out a check code is NORMAL. It IS NOT !!
