Good day all. Please help, the battery sign on my Honda civic 2008 come up, I took it to a rewire who check n said the alternator is good that may be it not communicating with the brain box again that he has to bypass the sign if I want it off. I was not satisfied with his recommendations and I took it to another rewire who recommended I change the alternator that the copper coil in d alternator has burnt. I change the alternator but the battery sign is still showing. Note the car drive well n does not do any hard starting. Please car experts here, what could be the problem? |

Hi peeps I own a Lexus es 300. Today I noticed that both the ABS and the BRAKE light are on. I checked the user manual and it says driving it at that condition is dangerous. The car moves and stops perfectly as usual and I have just traveled and returned from Benin to owerri with it and I just saw this lights today. What do I need to do so it can go off? |

It's been a while I commented here. Let me go back as far as I can with the limited time available. morinto: There are lots of issues that can cause a no start condition . 1 faulty coil pack in a corolla cause a no start condition or limp mode. You can easily check fuel pressure and Run a scan to eliminate all other issues. donuba61: BCM fault. (Body control module) very common in civic. nymphomaniac: Sparkplugs in an engine as basic as yours should not ba able to burn out, unless they are fake. Try using Tokumbor spark plugs (yes I said it. the way the dollar is now, it's more cost effective) proclinician: Simple scan will determine what wheel speed sensors are at fault. mimicue: Might be a misfire, take out the battery terminal, and clean out the ignition coils if wet. Solarsmn: This is delicate. Start with confirming if the shift cable is aligned properly, next confirm if you have the right amount of transmission oil, next try entering reverse without the transmission ecu connected. Give me feedback after all this. 1 Like |

Hello brilliants, my car Camry 2011 occasionally becomes sluggish when I engage the gear. Happened twice in the last 3 days. One at R and one at D. I had to rev higher than normal before it will just move. After shifting back at P and reengaging, it worked fine. What should I be worry about. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kingreign(m): 8:48pm On Aug 22, 2020 |
adesanyadotun:Run a scan pls. Engine and transmission scan. Also a physical inspection should be carried out on the car by a competent technician. |

Good day all. My Honda civic 2008 is giving me serious issue. The battery sign on dashboard is showing when d car is running, the rewire here check n said that my alternator is bad. He bought another alternator for me but the battery sign is still showing and he said I should drive the car for sometime that the alternator will charge d battery. I drove it to work day on Friday a distance of 16km n d battery sign is still showing .it will always appear n disappear. I have to scan the car and it should P2185 code. Yesterday, the sign stop disappearing, it just stay stable, later in d evening that car stopped on motion, I have to use a friend battery to drive it home. The rewire is now saying that the brain box is faulty that why it kills alternator. I disagreed with him because I scanned the car n nothing of such appeared. Pls car gurus here, how do I fix the problem? Here is a pix of the scan result. Cc Gazzuzu
