My Experience With My Car A Few Days Ago by oNj(m): 6:42pm On Jan 07, 2015 |
Car: 2009 Corolla; automatic City: Abuja Issue: All out system failure. Was drivin home few days ago on top speed (140 to 160) then suddenly my 2009 corolla seemed to 'shutdwn', wit d followin comin on immediately: 1. Check Engine light 2. Check power steering 3. Speedometer went flat to zero 4. Mileage also stopped reading 5. Acceleration became an issue and the car just didn't feel like before at all. To put it lightly, I panicked! Parked and restarted the car, stil the same. Managed it home all the same. Because I needed to go somewhere in the evenin, I still drove d car out. But I further observed that the gear lever which was always warm without AC, felt completely cold. Of course d gear selection wasn't as before. After a little googling I loosed d front tires to see if any sensor was out of place. Lo and behold, the right abs sensor was just dangling. Fixed it back, disconnected the battery heads for some minutes and everything started working, except the speedometer. Took it out for test-driving and on my way, the speedometer started reading too. Till today, everything is still working. Jst amazing such a 'little fault' could throw the car off-balance. 1 Like |

oNj: @ the bolded part, if it was a minor transsmission problem, you would have caused more damage and probably had to replace the transmission. Please buy a car scanner so you stop taking unnessesary risks with you car. Meanwhile, abs sensors do not come off on their own, hope kazeem has not visited you? Congrats and good luck. 1 Like |
