Q:How do I reset service engine light on my truck? Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about the check engine or the change oil light? Check engine is reseted after repairs are done. YOu can also undo the battery for 45 seconds this will take care of it, but if the problem wasn't fixed it will come back on. If you're talking about the change oil light the procedure is the following : 1. turn key to ON position 2. Step on gas pedal 5 times 4. Start it up

Q:The engine need service soon light was on in my vehicle last week. I suspected it was the bad fuel I put in since it turned on immediately after I pumped at Costco. I was busy and did not have a chance to go to my auto shop. Yesterday, I found the warning light was gone. It contradicts my general understanding that once the light is on, you need a device to turn it off. Will it be something like if you wait long enough, the bad thing will go away by itself?

it depends what it was. the check engine light just tells you there's a code stored in the computer's memory. you need the code reader to retrieve the code. my guess is your gas cap wasnt tightened properly after you filled up at costco, throwing a #1443 code, indicating a problem in the evaporative emissions control system (EEC). a loose gas cap will bleed off the vacuum pressure the vehicle uses for the test, causing you to fail the test after you drove away from costco. or it could be some other thing that shows up intermittently. you need to pull the codes stored in the memory to know for sure what happened after you filled up. the gas smell sounds like a seperate problem that occured before you drove away from costco and got an error code. could be a fuel leak somewhere. in newer cars, just turning the key to the on position will power the electric fuel pump. turn off the radio and fan and when you turn the key you'll hear the pump whirring for about a second in your fuel tank, pressurizing the fuel system to feed your injectors the instant you start the car. just turn the key on a few times and leave it on and then go follow your fuel lines to your fuel rail and down each injector and see if you see any fuel leaks. open the hood and use your nose to see if you smell gas. you could have a bad fuel pressure regulator or some bad o-rings, cracked injector, fuel filter

Q:the light comes on and blinks only in those cases went to auto zone got it check with their systems and everything was fine from their systems say. good batterie, starter, and alternator but from what i goggled and saw was that it might be the alternator going bad or wire is loose on it. not sure please help and the car is a honda 92 accord wih about 10 k miles

Be fine til you get hit with a API round, or APE round! That will end your weekend! That armor piercing incinerating round or armor piercing explosive round! They are made to go thur tanks! Oh, more fun if those done work just hit you with a Javelin or an AT4! Those should stop you!

Q:I am thinking to get the xbox 360 slim but I afraid to get because it said there is going to be a red dot of death or the red dot of doom. I don‘t know what to do now. Should I get it and is it worth it? Please tell me. I already got the red ring of death and i don‘t want to experience it again. I heard there is no red ring of death is it truth and also about the overheating problem.

The system will now (Or it's supposed to) give you a little red dot, then a message will show up on the screen telling you it's shutting down, and you can turn it back on when the light is done blinking. They did that now so that you wont fry your xBox due to overheating. So no worries. ;)

Q:Please help explain the working principle of car headlamp follow the steering?

AFS, to achieve follow-up steering lighting in a variety of ways, generally divided into light group with the steering wheel and additional light group two categories. Light group with the steering wheel that can be based on the direction of travel 8 ° ~ 15 ° deflection, most models equipped with AFS system are used in this way. The working principle is to turn, the steering wheel coaxial driven potentiometer resistance resistance changes, installed in the steering signal on the signal acquisition Transmission to the car microcomputer for analysis and processing, and then driven by the form of electrical signals to the implementation of components, combined with the steering wheel and speed perception signal to achieve the steering group control of the system is relatively complex, so the cost is higher, so more Equipped with high-end models, but by means of additional light group, the same can be achieved with the effect of steering lighting. This bending effect with the lighting of the working principle is relatively simple: If the speed is lower than a certain value and start playing direction, The corresponding side of the headlamps will be connected to the light group will open, in advance to the detour situation.Of course, its accuracy and lighting range is still slightly inferior to the AFS system

Q:A 2000 year model is serviced by two auto technicians. The abs warning light has been activated for the anti l?

abs system is the ani locking brakes. and if the tech's that worked on it did any wheel work to it and unplugged it it will go on.. my suggestion is to take it back to the person that worked on it and tell them that it wasn't on when you brought it is and make them fix it on their dime..

Q:Took it to Auto zone auto parts and the code came up Secondary air injection system.I recently changed my air cleaner and the cover is held by three screws,I dropped one down in the car frame and cant get to to it so the cover is being held with 2 screws with the front corner one missing.Could this have lead to the check engine light to come on with this code.or any other suggestions on secondary air injection system?

nah, all u need to do is remove the box in the top right corner under the hood, it has a hose attached to it. use a vacuum and suck out the filter ****.

Q:HiI just need help Yesterday my peugeot 607 2.2 hdi 2004 auto i had oil change airfilter, and diesel filter and also mechnic flush the oil as well when i pick up car and i drive my car about 5 miles oil temperature passed 90 and after 7 miles engine management.light on and on computer saying antipollution system defective I used oil. 5w 30w with my older oil. Oil temp stay around in blue line And i noticed this morning car bit harder to drive Before oil change everything was ok i change oil because i drove car with almost 8000 i usually change oil 8000 to 9000 Car mileage 117209

It is just a coincidence that the Engine Management Lt should come on after the servicing. Your mixture of different grades of oil does not do any harm to your engine. Have oil is better than no oil. The light is most reliable to inform you what is wrong with your car. One of the engine sensors has failed (or value is out of range). Read out this defect with your mechanic's diagnostic scantool, replace the faulty sensor, and delete the memorised fault. I believe your engine is healty as you change the oil regularly. It is commendable. Happy motoring.

Q:said I need to replace the coolant system for $3000 . Also, my windshield wiper fluid will not come out and somehow this is related? The engine has never overheated and we just got a new emission control sticker last week. Any suggestions or can anyone validate this assesmment. I live in GeorgiaThank you

I hope this is not the BMW dealer telling you this! Sounds like you are getting hosed. Drive around and look for a nice clean garage with about 4-6 bays. Look for one with at least 3 BMWs in the parking lot and maybe a VW, Audi, Benz. Then interview the owner or one of the lead mechanics. Interview the shop the same way you would interview a contractor for a room addition. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Edit: You may be due for a coolant flush and fill or some other regular scheduled maintenance that needs to be done at 75,000 miles. I think the i-6 has a timing CHAIN not belt. There are generally 3 types of BMW/Audi/Mercedes owners. Type 1) buys a new or certified used vehicle and understands that cost of maintenance on these $50-120,000 vehicles is going to be more than on a Ford Type 2) mechanically inclined or actual mechanic that can do a $3000 repair for the cost of parts Type 3) ostentatious prat that thinks he can buy a $50,000 car and treats it like a $6,000 Hyundai. Since these luxo-cars are capable of driving even when repairs are needed, this type of owner is usually driving on bad brakes, bad suspension, beyond service life on several components and thinks he looks good 'cuz it's a bimmer, bro'! If you are willing to admit that the cost of maintaining the vehicle is greater than you anticipated you are already moving into Type 1. Congratulations. Although these individual repairs and service needs are more costly, the life-time cost of owning a higher quality vehicle will be the same or less than that of a cheaper car. The difference is you need to budget for these repairs. That way when a $3000 service interval comes around it becomes an inconvenience not an emergency. I'm a Type 2. My 1997 BMW 740iL gets repairs done in my garage. I have a great mechanic that gives advice when I need and does the serious work that I'm not capable of. E.g.: I did the suspension, brakes, radiator, alternator, power steering. He did the new blower motor for the heater.
