how to diagnose a check engine light without a computer

[420bloodshott]

Does this work on a 97 grand marquis

[ElYorch1]

Do u know how to check engine diagnostic on a 2004 f150 without a scanner?

[redbaron2448]

what u have for a 1990 Honda Accord?

[StuntDoubleTheatre]

at least gm was smart enough to know that they should put this system in their car because the engine lights always come on in them... who the hell has bad oxygen sensors in a new car?... and people wonder why theres imports all over the road..

[benkerr69]

that is really nice what cars have this in them?

[montysport94]

They're O2 sensor codes. Not uncommon to have them go out at any time, even if the car only has 5,000 miles.

[saavwafare]

Great info..thanks.

[REDTEAM22003]

jeep = fail

[jimmy101112000]

its the oxygen sensor heater circuits shorted for both codes shown. Its usually the heater element has shorted out which makes the sensor hot in a few seconds when the key is turned when the engine is cold. Replace the oxygen sensor before the converter should fix it. Probably would not hurt to replace the one after the converter. Pretty sad for a jeep with only 5,530 miles on it to have this $80 + part to go bad.

[Stomplar]

yeah, because you all know exactly what happend to the engine to cause the light to come on. Idiots.

[austinsfarm]

230,000 kilometers on my 02 Pontiac grand am GT and the MIL light didn't come on or any DTC's were found :) not even a blown headgasket or LIM gasket :)

[KOOL2011]

Japanese FTW

[TheGuineaphinea]

Chrylser makes it so easy to check because the lights come on so much!

[2Str0k3]

Shows the quality of american cars. Problems right away after you drive it out of the dealer. And damn what a stone age looking cheap ass interior it got aswell.

[etikem]

does it works on ford focus?

[frogs43777]

You can do that without starting the car. Just turn ignition on and off 3 times without starting it and leave the key in on position and watch the dash, like he said. It works on all Chrysler cars that have a digital Odometer.

[pabsoul]

And that is why people don't buy American cars, check engine light on at 5000 miles. No wonder why US automobile industries are going out of business

[gcpath]

That's a pretty idiotic statement......

[rollingstons1]

very help full thanks am gonna try it on my 07 dodge caliber

[quincee33]

just buy CARMED!!!!! the infomercial that's always on at 3 AM...... heard it's a ripoff tho.

[seirafein12345678912]

does this work on plymouth also?



[Skeeterman42087]

OMG! Thanks a million man. It worked but i had to turn to the "RUN" position not "on"

[KrankieV2]

@Skeeterman42087 "on" and "run" are the same thing you dumbass... there's lock, off, accessory, on, and start... on also refers to run.. derp

[Skeeterman42087]

@KrankieV2 Kewl guy, Name calling behind a screen, No need whatsoever for name calling, Man up and come say that to my face (bet you wont)

[KrankieV2]

@Skeeterman42087 rofl I'm not afraid to call your dumb ass a dumbass, you obviously don't know me. If i met you on the street i wouldn't hesitate a second to tell you what a dumbass you are :D

have a great day, dumbass. :D

[Skeeterman42087]

@KrankieV2 Like i said, easy to do behind a computer screen, just stop trying, if your in cali ill inbox u my address and u can come try and say it to me

[KrankieV2]

@Skeeterman42087 lol no i'm in NY. I'll let you know if I'm ever out there though. But it's not worth driving 3,000 miles just to call some dumbass a dumbass. :D

[adsan1280]

This works for what vehicles? I have a 2002 land rover disco 2 - would it work with it?

[chugcpisdabest]

thanx really helped  this is great

[Deangelo21530]

LOL...

[Jackieair]

What is the code for eight flashes

[MrMrPaparazzi]

5000 miles and problems with engine already, damn jeeps suck

[clarda1]

@MrMrPaparazzi P0038 is an 02 sensor, yes it failed eairl but its not a problem "with engine" should be covered under warranty

[jeb721]

@clarda1 ya but if it fails now and keeps failing, should have bought a honda or toyota. cuz thats just gonna mess up out of warranty.

[speedfreak460]

@MrMrPaparazzi Could mean service engine as in change oil

[carmencolumbusohio]

Service engine at 5K miles?? WOW! LOL

[vehix411]

Dodge Chrysler Jeep only

[Proudrebel7]

@vehix411 What year models does this work with?

[beenie3]

Not so useful for my Toyota Corolla. Just shows mileage reading each time.

[williamiwu]

[martinsh23]

Is this working also on other cars? Or only this particular one?

[deftones456]

Thanks a lot. COundent find the CODES section on vehix411 site but good information.

[JOVANI7919]

does this work on all cars?

[benzlover55]

@JOVANI7919 Different car manufacturers have different things, so no, this will not work on all cars. Probably only this one.
