gbagyiza:If all the sign displayed in yellow there is no cause for alarm the alarm there is when the signs displayed in red and the check engine light keep blinking, however you can contact a good technician. |

lekki1444:omo this wrong oo. ABS( anti-lock braking sytem) and VSC( vehicle stability control) are very important to the vehicle. The fault in the car maybe just from the VSC that's why the ABS is on. The VSC is a system under the ABS, that's why the ABS light is on too. I'm an automotive technician in training at automedics ltd at illupeju, Lagos. Take your vehicle to a good auto shop. It will be fixed properly. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kelvin30286063: Check Engine sign is not a bad thing. It's an indication that something is not right with your engine. Like people have been saying, take it to a good mechanic. You will spend quite alot but the problem will ne fixed. |

Kelvin30286063:You can fix no2 on your own. Inflate all tires including the spare . Then reset the tire pressure sensor by putting ignition in ON (dashboard lights on) position and press the reset button for about 5secs. The light will blink twiceand go off. For others, try another obd scanner |

NigPatriot:hope the catalyst is still in your vehicle, very easily to remove and it cost about 15k..ask an expert to help you confirm whether the catalyst is still intact hence your vehicle will be consuming fuel. |

Kelvin30286063:There is no relationship between your catalyst and your abs and tpms. Take your car to a good mechanic. You changed brain box, start there. Get your old brain box, copy the part number and compare that with the new one installed. If they aren't the same, then start from there. Look for damaged abs wires or connections. Your tpms sensors may have died or you are low or have too much pressure in your tires. Sort that out. Above all, scan your car with a proper scanner (not the generic scanners) and post the codes. If you are in lagos, look for Gazzuzz, autologic or radautoworks. They will sort you out. Acuras are sturdy. Two years plus and no lights on my dashboard. 3 Likes |

The more you know about the vehicle the safer you will be. Run a VIN check and verify critical facts you need to buy a used car with confidence. Check the title status, previous odometer readings and the current market of the vehicle. Do as many checks as possible to ensure you are getting a legitimate offer. www.nairaland.com/computerglobal www.nairaland.com/attachments/10000072_vehiclehistoryreport_jpeg3e8dde5a1fb4cccbf6626e983b2598da |

My Rav4 2008 has been showing 4WD light. Mechanic said I should continue using it like that. It's a 4 wheel drive car. Over a year now. Anyone with such issue here please? |
Re: Check Engine Light And How Do I Resolve? by cardoctor(m): 3:44am On Dec 10, 2020 |
A car technician without a professional scanner is wasting his/ her time. Get the scanned and all the issues will be identified. |
Re: Check Engine Light And How Do I Resolve? by AerialMapper: 6:10am On Dec 10, 2020 |
lekki1444: I am unsure if your response is sarcasm or you are really serious! ABS is not auto essential? This isn’t only for snowy conditions; it helps if you slam on your brakes too hard and the vehicles senses that your wheels will lock making your car skid. This doesn’t only happen on snow; it can happen on loose gravel, unsurfaced roads or even on good roads. Run a scan! I noticed you mentioned the big tubes in your engine are loose. This may be the cause of the check lights cos of a vacuum leak ( I think). This most times will trigger the VSC. The codes should point you the the source of the error |

AerialMapper:All cars made before 2007 dont have ABS. ABS was only mandated in 2007, and these cars are just fine https://www.quora.com/Is-daily-driving-a-car-with-no-ABS-difficult oe Shelton, Author, Pilot (Comm. MEL/SEL/MES/SES, Inst), Aircraft Owner Answered April 22, 2018 Is daily driving a car with no ABS difficult? ABS or no ABS makes no difference unless and until you have to make an emergency stop, especially on slippery roads. If you’re a safe and sane driver that doesn’t need to make an emergency stop, then not having ABS won’t matter. BUT, if and when you need to make an emergency stop ABS is sure nice to have. The real trick if you don’t have ABS (especially if you’ve driven a car WITH ABS for any period) is knowing how to brake right on the edge of locking the brakes without actually locking the brakes. Locked brakes will extend the stopping distance significantly. Getting that good takes practice. |
