A.C.\D.I.C. (Driver Information Center) work intermintently. No Ck.Eng. Lts. When The D.I.C. lights up, A.C. engages. I have been told it is something to do with the outside temp. sensor for the D.I.C

I have a 2000 Chev Impala LS. It recently out of the Blue developed a problem with the A.C.\inboard circulating fan not engaging. This is an intermittent problem. Doesn't do it all the time. The car has a D.I.C. (Driver Information Center). When it lights up, the fan\A.C. kick on. If I shut off the fan or turn off the vehicle, an restart, sometimes the fan\A.C. don't engage. I've been told by a mechanic who works at one of the Big dealerships here in Henderson NV, that the temperature sensing device that activates the D.I.C. is faulty. Do you know where that device\electrical component is located so I can replace it myself? Sincerely, Ken from Henderson NV [email protected]

Eng ck light 2005 malibu

Take your car to your local auto parts superstore, and have them check for the fault codes that are triggering the light. Usually done for free.

Or take it to your mechanic. Take it from there. Hope this helps.

I have a 2006 trailblazer engine light on when started runs for about 3 sec. then cuts off.

First of all, what cuts out, the "check engine" light, or the engine itself? If its the ck eng light it sounds like an intermittin problem that in most cases cannot be resolved with a code scanner. Have you disconnected the battery to reset that light? If not, then do so (usually the ground cable) for about 10 min., then re-connect the cable and your ck eng. light will be off. ck eng. lights generally have to be constantly on in order to pull codes from the PCM. If there is a problem then the light will come back on.

Ck eng. light comes on after geting gas code reades Po601

P 0601 = Internal Controller Failure. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) Internal fault condition has been detected.
To clear the Code (and Engine Light) from the PCM use a OBD II Scan tool. If you do not have one, go to an auto parts store. They can hook one up for free. Clear the code using the Scan Tool. It is not recommended to disconnect the battery to clear the PCM Codes, as it will cause the engine to run rough.
If the Code/Light re-appears, there may be a problem with something else.
Let me know if this helped, or if you have addtional information or questions. Feel free to contact me at FixYa.com!
