Dear Black Bishop,
Two days ago driving home my 2003 Toyota Corolla Airbag Light suddenly stays On. I have check some connections beneath the drivers and passengers seat and everything is ok. I have not done any electrical work on the car since it came as toks over a year ago.

Please help.

You have so many thing that could leads to that but scanning will actually direct you to the cause.

It could be faulty seat belt or wiring issue or just resetting the airbag system or faulty sensor or the spring behind the airbag might be corroded.

So scan and get the issue sorted out

Blackbishop, pls, how do I go about these?
Also, the car (Honda Accord DC, 4cyl) enters limp mode at 3000 rpm. It jerks.

Let me address the codes
P2184 - engine coolant temperature sensor

And you can correct this by replacing the thermostat and the engine coolant temperature sensor also will be replaced.

P0141 - OXygen bank 1 sensor 2 heater circuit malfunction

Replace the sensor

P1157 - that is Air/Fuel ratio sensor

Also replace

Now let break it down for you, a car will always go into limp mode when the car computer detect more sensors not sending the right current or signal but I will advice you run further diagnosis cuz the last 2 should be accompanied with P0420.

The likely issue could be your throttle body, like I said run further diagnosis.

Good morning sir, except I don’t understand your narration. But from the look of things check the transmission fluid and better still run a scan for any transmission code
Re: Mechanic Roundtable by Cotonou12: 6:46am On Aug 27, 2021

Like I said it could couple of things. Misfiring can make it drags also fuel components related issues can leads to that also. So run a proper diagnosis with high tech scanning tool
Re: Mechanic Roundtable by Cotonou12: 6:55am On Aug 27, 2021
bro , after changing the knock sensor and it was still same, he had to pull one switch from here

, see the image below . one black

Like I said if your rpm is unable to get to maximum point then your gear selection will be erratic.

Still proper diagnosis will solve this

I've been thinking of getting a car for a while now. I initially wanted to get the Toyota Avalon 07/08 but Nigeria has shown my finances pepper.

I'm only able to comfortably afford a Honda 08/10 now. The issue is the road leading to my house is bad and flooded badly if rain falls. I want to know if the Honda can withstand the bad road or I should just look for another Toyota to get.

Thanks in anticipation

Good day from your narration I will be straight no matter what brand of car you buy maintenance is the key. Don’t drive into pool of water that will cover your exhaust. Don’t use AC in flooded area

White smoke indicates coolant issue. Physical inspection is the answer

Oga Bishop, my W203 C200 Compressor fires and when you start it and idles almost immediately.

When you are on the road, it takes a while to pick up, when it eventually picks, anytime you slow down or apply brake, to pick up again takes time, and those behind you are horning for you.

I have just changed my plugs. Should I change the throttle sensor?

good day guys, I noticed some anomalies with my 2005 Corolla sport. when I put it on its rpm rises to about 2200. it only comes down when I on my ac and it kind of give more sound and vibration compared to before.

I changed from semi synthetic to full synthetic a couple of month ago and I have CEL as a result of catalytic converter related code but it has not affected the performance before
