OBD Code is cleared but check engine light will not RESET?

In this particular problem,the customer replaced timing belt and still the check engine light is not getting cleared.

Its steady ON,not flashing.

On basis of the problem,the details are as follows.

First of all,check engine light will not clear directly.The car has to be driven for few miles to get the engine light reset.
The computer in the car has still not seen the part replaced.Once the ECM detects the new parts,the engine light will reset or there is any other problem.

This is a two trip detection logic it would take two drive cycles of this malfunction to occur in order the check engine light to reset. There is a possibility that the VVT I actuator could be sticking also causing the correlation timing problem. However this normally is associated by rough idle or loss of power. Provided the check engine light does not start to flash you should be okay to drive. This is of course unless it has jump time. You stated that you had already replaced the timing belt. Provided the water pump or some other component is not starting to fail the timing belt should still be in good condition. Please be advised that this is an interference engine. If the belt becomes too far out of time or breaks you will damage the engine.So drive two cycles and see if the code clears.Otherwise recheck parts replaced again.

This will help.
Thanks.

Car makes clicking or tapping sound?

This problem is noticed on many car models.
This noise occurs in both while acceleration and in neutral.
Also In most cases the Check engine light also comes on,with This problems,.

In this case the error code was P0420.

This is a code for the catalytic converter and if you have an exhaust leak it can also set this code and can be the noise your hearing. Check the exhaust over closely for any leaks as with the code and description your giving it most likely has one.

This will help.

Thanks.
