Please, do not wipe out any warning. If you love your life, fix those issues and have peace of mind. It isn't worth your life, whatever it cost to fix it. |

Kelvin30286063: All those signs came on because your silencer has been tampered with. I may bet my balls that your Catalyst has been stolen! And boy oh boy... They are expensive. Were you at a panel beater recently? Coz those guys and mechanics steal stuffs wella. Everything in that code points to your exhaust and silencer system. 2 Likes |

Kelvin30286063: Im not a mechanic, you need a good mechanic 1st of all, try andfix them but it will cost u plenty saturdays in mechanic workshop But 2 things i can say is 1. Ur car need maintenance after so many km - u probably need to check for replacement the following before reflashing the codes 2 see for fuse burn out - ur brake pads needs replacement and then realign the vechicle to balance. - if u hear grinding then ur brake caliper plate need to be replaced with new ones. - ur tires need replacement - all 4 at once that should take care of the ABS and tire sensor emisson system - nigeria emission is different from overseas |

[quote author=Kelvin30286063 post=96885535] 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 |

Kelvin30286063: You said something about working on the ECU, you need to furnish us with the information with regards to what they did on the ECU. Replacing a used ECU can trigger the above MIL you mentioned, most especially if these faults were already registered in the memory of the new ECU you put. And have it in mind that if those faults you listed above r temporary faults, the technician just need to clear it off the ECU memory n everything will be alright but if they r permanent faults, I advise that you seek for a well-experienced technician to help you out. Call me on 08060788299 to further assist on what do to.( An Automobile Engineer). |

chloride6:I'm trying to understand this statement. Acura nearly give issues. I have used my car for 10 months now and aside changing oil and gear oil once. I've not had any issue what so ever. Even my mechanic that was working on my old Honda always ask me why I don't check on them once in a while. This issues above only started last week when my brain box got damaged due to bad fan belt. Those warnings came after a new brain box was programmed. |

Kelvin30286063: Don't just change mechanic, go scan your vehicle at a modern garage and software will tell you EXACT fault. Tyre pressure, ABS (anti brake skidding system) and VSC(vehicle stability control) are related. If tyre is not well guaged, aligned and balanced it can trigger VSC. ABS concerns braking system. Check emission I think will concern catalytic converter located near exhaust silencer connection |

Kelvin30286063: So left for you and that guy, you will wipe off or erase a detected problem on the dash board instead resolving it in a mechanic workshop Anyway, do your own the car will do its own if you don't handle it well |

lekki1444:Lmao, what are you saying? Stop misinforming . Your ABS/VSC are very important safety components of any vehicle stopping you from losing control when hard-braking at high speeds and on rough terrains. From my little experience Vehicle speed sensors, or a misalligned/bad clock spring can trigger these two lights. Check emissions may be due to a bad O2 sensor or failing Cat or leaks and check tire pressure may be due to low tire pressure in your tires or a bad sensor.( This is also the easiest to remedy.IMO Ultimately, you need to scan your car and get the exact codes. Reading live data from your O2 sensors may be a guide to weather you have a bad Cat or your O2 sensors have failed. I always pray its the later. goodluck bro @ Kelvin30286063 |

Homguy:NAH BRAH NOT ALL CARS HAVE ABS AND SOME PEOPLE DISABLE THE ABS IN THEIR CAR. abs was not in cars till recently. so its not important. but quite essential if you brake on snowy surface so you dont skid in cold climates https://itstillruns.com/disable-abs-brakes-7762579.html |

Kelvin30286063: Did you buy it brand new? If not u dont know how the foreign owner used it. In america or europe. Car is too expensive to repair, it might bebetter to get a new one. So plan to change those things for enjoyment of ur car. everything is a risk |

When you get home tonight remove the battery till day break , some of the error will reset automatically, mind you the check engine will resurface even with slight bang in pothole , but you will observe change in the sound of your engine in d next day, however don't forget to remove your key from ignition b4 u disconnect the battery . |

Re: Check Engine Light And How Do I Resolve? by 12inchess: 8:32pm On Dec 09, 2020 |
Let me tell u something. My wife car experienced something like this recently. I connected it to OBD and it was something about the thermostat. That was the same reason her heater was not getting hot. I'd advice u to get an OBD for your car. It's not very expensive. Like 10k. You can use it to check the error code.Google the interpretation of each error code online. If u take it to a mechanic, he may not even check the code. He will just clear it. This can result to a worse problem for ur vehicle in the future. The check engine light coming on is a warning sign that something is wrong which may be serious or not. Wiping the warning doesn't remove the problem. It just hides the notification. 1 Like |
