You need to have a professional scan tool retrieve the codes
& diagnose from there

The Oxygen Sensor may have been replaced based on a code,
because the person doing it was living 30 years in the past

Codes don't tell you what is wrong or to replace something,
only component testing will

that is your traction control. Either you pressed the traction control button it say ASR OR ESP on your console in the center next to the hazard switch.

SOURCE: traction system light and abs light

Traction control systems measure wheel speed differences by various methods to determine if one wheel is rotating faster than the other. A heavier buildup of ice/snow could be affecting wheel rotation speed causing the TCS to engage. ABS works by sensing slippage at the wheels during braking, and continually adjusting braking pressure to ensure maximum contact between the tires and the road. Suggest clearing out the wheel wells now and periodically throughout the winter. Also remove ice/snow build up between the wheel and the brake pads/rotor.

SOURCE: I need a link or a better explanation on the code

What does that mean? The P0410 code refers to the emissions system. The AIR pump puts air to the exhaust to lower emissions. It takes in outside air and pumps it through two one-way check valves into each bank of the exhaust.
About 90% of the time that this code is set, the one-way check valves have worn out or failed and allow water (which occurs naturally in the exhaust) back into the pump. In any cold climate, especially in climates with higher humidity, this water may be more excessive. The water partially fills the AIR pump, it can then freeze. When the PCM commands the pump on, if the pump is frozen it cannot turn, thus overloading the circuit and "popping" the fuse.
copyscape.gif Symptoms Possibly symptoms include:

  • MIL illumination obviously
  • Hesitation on acceleration
  • Noise from a bad/stuck AIR pump
Causes A code P0410 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • Water may have collected in the AIR pump or the vent solenoid and frozen or corroded the pump
  • Blown AIR pump fuse due to freezing up
Possible Solutions Note: There is a technical service bulletin (TSB) regarding this code for a number of GM models. The TSB calls for the replacement of the AIR pump and the installation of a new secondary injection hose. The TSB can be found on this ACDelco site.
Additionally, if you simply replace the AIR pump the problem may return again (and again). If you replace the pump, also clean out the hoses and replace the one-way check valve. If this is on a GM model that the TSB applies to, follow those instructions in the link above. In a few cases, people have put a small hole in the rubber cover on the pump which allows any water to drain out.
Also, please note that this may be covered under the emissions warranty on the vehicle. If your vehicle is out of bumper-to-bumper warranty, check if the emissions warranty is still valid!
  • Replace the AIR pump AND one-way check valve
  • Test and clean the AIR pump AND test and replace the one-way air check valve
  • Replace the AIR pump inlet hose
  • Replace the AIR pump fuse (found under the hood)

SOURCE: remove gearbox from vw passat automatic

this is not a weekend mechanics type job because you could damage something else taking it out.best advice is to fit a manual gearbox which here in spain you could buy from a accident damaged car with the flywheel and clutch and starter motor for around 300€ need to change the drive shafts as well i think

SOURCE: warning light with a tire and an explanation mark

you have sensors in each tire that warns you of lower tire pressure just put some air in your tires to specs and the light should go out.

Coolant light keeps coming on

I wouldnt worry. Maybe a level indicator thinks it is being depleted. Give it a while. If it becomes more frequent or your engine overheats check coolant levels in reservoir. Most people will tell you it is common to have an empty reservoir, but not i. Check for signs of leaks in your driveway and fluid on water pump. If those are fine keep in mind coolant will still leak from your head gasket! There are a million ways for your coolant system to go wrong and little time to prevent overheating. Watch temp gauge and low coolant display staying on for elongated periods. :)

What does a yellow triangle on my Mitsubishi Outlander Sport mean

It is really confusing when different people have different explanations for this ?? Sign . I had the same warning sign today flashing on My Mitsubishi Outlander 2016 MY17 and I found conflicting explanations on different online forums which was not satisfactory. I even called local and National Mitsubishi customer services and I was told to bring down the vehicle to the service station and they also said that they don’t know what the ?? signs indicates . Pretty bizarre ! Pertinent to mention here that this warning ?? sign states displaying on the panel this morning when I was driving from home to work and I was running low on ?? as low fuel warning started displaying at the same time . Anyway later in the afternoon I went to refuel my car at a nearest petrol station and topped it up and turned on the ignition and the ?? sign was no more displaying on the panel. I also read that this ?? Sign can displaying indicating low tyre pressure or in my case low fuel pressure . I think there is nothing to be worried about unless the ?? Sign keeps displaying .
Thanks

Oldsmobile aurora keeps overheating i smell anti freeze and have to keep adding more but no signs of leaks i have had many repairs to solve the problem it always comes back or never leaaves

The water is leaving somewhere, either leaking out, going into the oil, or going into the exhaust. I would add a bottle of Bar's Stop Leak first. Usually if you smell the antifreeze it indicates a pretty good sized leak. I have had very good results with Bar's.
Check the carpet in the front by the firewall, between the drivers and passengers side. When the heater core leaks you usually get a wet carpet. This would be a fairly inexpensive repair relative to you other options.

88 Toyota p/u stalled on way home. Engine was smoking and the oil light came on. I immediately put in one quart of oil, got it started and drove it half a block to park it safely. Got another quart of oil...

It's not suprising that the engine stalled after getting hot considering you had run the engine out of oil as indicated by oil pressure light coming on and needing two quarts to refill it. Now that the oil is replaced, you could keep driving, but it would be wise to investigate why it had got so low on oil in the first place. Refer explanation below. You should check the oil level weekly to ensure it is at the correct level and top up if necessary. For that year vehicle, oil and filter changes should be around the 3,000 mile / 5,000 Km mark.
It sounds like the engine could be using excessive oil by either leaking out or being burnt in the cylinders.. If there is a major leak then there will be oil puddles under the engine after sitting for a while. Excessive oil burning in the cylinders is indicated by grey oil smoke from the exhaust when driving. If engine has oil and grime all over the best way to find the leaks is to get the engine pressure cleaned and then observe where the oil leaks are. The most usual places for older vehicles are the sump and valve cover gaskets followed by crankshaft seals. Oil leaks can also come from a loose oil filter or a faulty warning light pressure switch. If exhaust smoke is excessive then it would indicate worn piston rings and / or valve guides and seals.

I have a explanation sign showing in red

Usually that is the BRAKE reservoir light saying that the fluid level is low. Open the hood and then cehek the brake fluid level on the brake master cylinder. It will be just forward of the engine firewall almost directly ahead of the steering wheel. The reservior has a high / low level indicator on the side. Use DOT 3 Brake fluid to refill the reservior. When this light comes on it is telling you that your brake shoes and pads are more than 50 percent worn.

Thanks for using FixYa!

Indicator light on my 1997 chevy cavalier is lit. I don't have an owners manual that show what the trouble light is. It has an arrow pointing down to a pair of horizontal lines

That is your low coolant lamp. You should check your coolant level with the engine cold. Fill it with coolant if it is low, and inspect it, or have it inspected for a leak, or faulty coolant level sensor.

Coolant leaking

Hello Kasalama :

Is it possible to wash off the engine while protecting the distribuutor and other electronics so we can start with a clean and dry engine ? . * Make sure that your radiator is full and that the Radiator/ Coolant overflow reservoir is at the proper level . * I would put a large piece of cardboard on the floor and along with a bright flash light or shop light use it to guide you where the leak s coming from .

If that is not helpful , I would perform a pressure check on the cooling system . The pressure check can be performed as a diagnostic tool . Put the truck in park and apply the parking brake . Attach the pressure diapham and Start the engine . You will have to manually pump it to a specified pressure as indicated on the gauge/ manometer .

The pressure diaphram usally attaches where the " radiator cap " is . Applying pressure can show leaking hoses, pipes and leaks in the radiator or fittings .

Be mindful that you can also have a leaking Intake manifold Gasket .

I hope that this info has been of help to you .
