Chevrolet - Avalanche :: Check Engine Light Comes On / 3 Dings - Tighten Fuel Cap
I have a 2004 Chev Avalanche. Several times recently my check engine light comes on, the truck dings 3 times at me and a dash script tells me to tighten my fuel cap. I do and the light goes out within a few hours or the next day. I have changed fuel caps twice. This week the light came on, has not gone off and at least 3 time it has told me to tighten the fuel cap which I have done.
View 7 RepliesFord - Aviator :: 2005 - Tranny Slipping / OD Light Blinking And Check Trans Message On Display
O/D light was blinking and "check trans" message was on display. I brought in for service and they changed trans fluid & filter. I have to take back to service center because now tranny is slipping. I would like to have some information before going back. It was not doing this before service. It is OK on highway for most part, happens more when starting out. Also has shut off a few times while sitting at a light. It didn't do any of this before service. What would cause this? Could it be the wrong fluid or not enough added?
View 1 RepliesSuzuki - Forenza :: Stuck Between Reverse / Neutral - Check Engine Light Goes On
I have a 2006 suzuki forenza (automatic) with about 90,000 miles on it. Five times this summer, it seems to get "stuck" between reverse/ neutral (both letters are displayed on dashboard) and the check engine light goes on. I turn the car off/on and the the problem seems to resolve. The check engine light stays on for about 24 hours. The car drives "fine" (its a relative term, has some other quirks) for another 2-4 weeks until it happens again. My question is: is this a serious problem or can I just ignore it?
View 1 RepliesSuzuki - Forenza :: 2008 - Check Engine Light Came On / Slight Hesitation When Driving
I have a 2008 Suzuki forenza, 125,000 miles. I commute 5 days a week one hour each way. The check engine light came on, then after a day it went off. I filled it up with gas and as soon as I started it up, the light came on again. Then an hour later, It went off. My brother came to pick me up from work, it was on (he notices nothing). Took it to Auto Zone and the code came up Throttle Body. Went to get a new gas cap & air filter, the code went off.
Changed both. (The gas cap was clicking but not staying on.) Drove to the mechanic. They said they cleared the code but do not see anything wrong and to bring it back if it comes on again. For 348 miles, it drove fine, parked it in the drive way. I went to start it this morning to move out of the driveway, the light is on again. There is a sight hesitation while driving; the mechanic thought it might be a spark plug. I have had the car a year. The hesitation comes and goes. I plan on getting the plugs changed next week. I started using Lucas with every fill up. So far have used it 3 times.
Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Check Coolant Message On Display

View 9 RepliesBuick - Lacrosse :: Check Gas Cap Message And Engine Light Came On
2006 Buick Lacrosse, CXL, 78K miles. 6 months ago, the check gas cap message came on. The gas cap was replaced. The message is still on. Soon after, the engine light came on as well. The Buick dealer said (without running a diagnostic or looking at the car) we needed to replace the catalytic converter and it would be expensive! Had 2 diagnostic tests run - one at a garage and one at an auto parts shop. No codes were detected.
Whenever the car is close to its 3k oil change, an "'oil low" message appears. The oil has never been low, it's an annoying message to get the oil changed. As the gas cap/engine light came on shortly before its 75K mile check, could this be the same case?
The car runs great and there has been no change in gas mileage.

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Low Fuel / Power Message Then Check Engine Light On
My low fuel light came on tonight. I drove about 2 miles, stopped and shut the truck off. When I restarted it and began to drive off to the fuel station a notice came on that isaid power reduced then a check engine light came on. I was about a mile or less from the fuel station so I filled up. I cycled the key but the engine light is still on. No low power message tho. The power is fine.
I came home and drained the water drain on the filter, didn't see any water but hoped it would solve the problem. I cycled the key a few times and started the truck but the light is still on. My truck is a 2013 f350 6.7 and has 211500 ish miles on it. I bought it a month ago with 18500 miles and haven't had any issue until tonight. My only thought is maybe the fuel filters need changed. I don't know if or when the previous owner changed them.
Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Stop / Oil Pressure Engine Off Message On Display And Ticking Noise
2006 Passat 2.0T
- Three days ago, after a cold start, while driving to work "STOP! OIL PRESSURE ENGINE OFF" came on the display and disappeared right away.
- Drove the car to work and did not stop.
- Came back home and saw "Some" Fluid leak on my driveway. I touched it but did not seem like engine oil (I am making this assumption based on the fact that the fluid was not dark, but it was oily".
- I have not received that warning after that single incident.
- I have not seen any new leaks either.
- But, when I press the accelerator, there is a ticking noise.. something like - if you put a card in a bicycle wheel.
My car is due for service. So taking to the dealer day after tomorrow. Miles: 70870....

Got a check brake light warning in the display today, I assume one on the brake lights are out and need to be changed. Is this a simple plug and play change, and are the brake lights in the tailgate or rear quarters.
View 1 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: Check 4WD Message When Turn Ignition ON Engine OFF?
I've noticed that the car has started to give me all the dummy messages, particlarly "CHECK 4WD" when I turn the ignition on without the engine running. If I then hold the brake pedal and start the engine, the message remains. If I turn the ignition off, and then start normally with the brake pedal depressed and start the engine it goes all normally and "CHECK OK" and I never get any errors when driving. I also noticed when this happens the AFS light is flashing as well - well, basically every warning on the dash is lit.
So, what's up with that ... I know it's normal for all the dash lights to light when the ignition is on and engine is off but I never noticed CHECK 4WD in this state previously. I haven't really noticed if it happens every time but it seems to happen quite a bit when I just turn the ignition back on to do something like close the moonroof if I forgot it. It's also odd that it doesn't clear when starting the car without first turning ignition off after that.
I assume that nothing is actually broken because it all behaves normally when starting the car regularly and the car does not complain at all when driving around.

About once a week my check engine light comes on. The code is P1121, which is about coolant valve sticking. In about one or one and a half days it times out and i dont get the warning light for another week or so. Do you think I should have something done right away or wait and see what happens?

05 Ford explorer O/D light flashes along with check transmission. Iv had it at ford and they checked it for codes and said it needed a new torque converter, and valve body torque plate. They changed the torque plate, cleaned the valve body changed the fluid and filter, checked it again for codes and said it was fixed. less than 100 miles and 1400 dollars later with a new torque converter new torque plate and fresh fluid and filter still have the same problem. What else could be wrong with this transmission It drives and shifts as it should and it has from the start of the o/d light flashing and the check transmission message.

View 4 RepliesLexus ES 2007-12 :: AC Button Light Blinks Occasionally / Check Air Conditioner Message
I had a new compressor installed on '07 ES350 and now every now and then the AC button light blinks, the cool air shuts down and I get a message on the screen saying "Check Air Conditioner".
It only occurs occasionally --maybe not at all one day and two or three times another day. I returned to the shop that installed the compressor and they don't seem to know what is causing the problem. (They said maybe a freon overfill and adjusted that --but it's still occurring.)
