My Hyundai sonata dashboard pop up some warnings and will not go off the dashboard. How do I clear the earnings. The warnings are: check AEB system! Check SHBD (with a sign of 2 cars and a 🌟 in the middle. But they won't go off tge dashboard
There is a break in communication between the control units that performs the function for those warning light there. If you run a scan you most would be most likely be having a networking issue (Uxxx). You can reach out to multiautolab on 08165520837 to have it fixed

Have your mechanic go under the sump, check if the transmission pan has been knocked inwards, he should drop the pan and check the filter and oil, then refill with genuine toyota ATF type T-iV. If e no work, plan for another gearbox.

Greeting All,

Please I need a good auto shop where I can fix my car.
Issue: I usually notice vibration on steering wheel when doing 90km/hr and above. I also notice slight vibration when accelerating though not frequent.

Workdone:
Faulty tie rod replaced
Degraded brake disc replaced
brakepad replaced
Alignment done

Observation:
Car still vibrate at 90km/hr and above.
I checked the car manual and it says CV joint needs to be replaced. My mechanic check the driver side of the CV which has slight clunk sound when pushed/pulled though not noticeable when driving or turning and he said it is ok.



Car Make: Toyota Corolla 2006


Thanks in anticipation of your support.

The car is a toyota Camry 2006

I get like a 1.5 second delay in acceleration (more evident with the AC on). Plus, fuel consumption is higher than it should be for 2.4l engine.

Scanned and got the below codes

Check if cats are broken and/or clogging the engine, check for fuel or fuel vapor leaks. You need very competent technician to do this, you also need livedata scan to pull out codes. If you're in Abuja, DM. I can help you.

Is the pump brand new or toks,many tokunbo are Nigeria used,if u can get a new pump it better.
If the steering rack has blockage inside it will damage the pump
If ur pressure hose has welding on it, it can damage the pump too.
The hose you bought hope it not cut and join,

In my case, the rack was the culprit and it kept damaging all the new pumps I bought. I ended up buying a new rack and that resolved the issue

Could missing cats also cause those?
Re: Tell Us Your Car Faults. Let's Assess And Fix Them by omoguess: 5:20pm On Aug 14, 2025
Pls whenever I lock my car, after like 10 to 15 minutes, the alarm will start shouting, but once I open the car and leave it open, the alarm will not disturb. The car keep disturbing everyone in my compound in the night so I decided to stop locking the car with key or remote but this is not safe.

I have taken it to my mechanic who took it to an electrician who worked on it but the issue persists. The electrician later suggested I should be removing the battery head before locking it since he did not see anything wrong with the alarm system but I am not still comfortable with that.

Please speak anyone have alternate solutions to this please.
My car is Toyota Camry (Spider)

Inability to change gear smoothly during acceleration on a hill. Especially after breaking on a hill when in motion. However gear picks after shutting down and coming up again on the hill. Hyundai Sonata 2008 NF. Down the hill, gear changes smoothly.

Have you checked the transmission fluid?
Checked the transmission sump for impact?
Have you also scanned the transmission to know if there's a code stored in it?

If you're in Abuja, feel free to indicate so I can assist you on the diagnosis and repair.

You'd have to contact Honda for such. I doubt you'd be able to get it. It's over 12years old.
