AUTOMOTIVE TIPS

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON YOUR CARS DASH AREA WARNS OF ENGINE EMISSION
CONTROLS & OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. & HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MECHANICAL PORTION OF THE ENGINE EG; PISTONS VALVES . OIL PUMP ETC.

IF THE AMBER LIGHT IS ON STEADILY IT INDICATES A HARD CODE & USALLY SOME TYPE OF COMPONENT FAILURE. IF ITS AN ERRATIC PROBLEM THIS INDICATES A SOFT CODE & IS USALLY A LITTLE HARDER TO TROUBLESHOOT. BUT EITHER WAY YOUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO A GOOD TECH TO FIND THE PROBLEM VIA SOME FORM OF A SCANNER TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE CARS COMPUTER TO NARROW IT DOWN.& TO FIND THE PROBLEM WHICH WILL PROBABLY NEED FURTHER TESTING AT THAT POINT. THE SCANNER DOSENT ALWAYS DO THE WORK FOR YOU IT JUST PUTS YOU IN AN AREA OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR. SOMETIMES SIMPLE COMPONENT FAILURE .OTHER TIMES WIRING TO BE TRACED DOWN PER VOLTAGE ,OHMS ETC.

NOTE; LOOK FOR FUTURE ARTICLES I WILL BE WRITING AS TIME PERMITS. THANKS FOR BROWSING. JL
