I had these in a 2001 Buick Park Avenue. An emmisions shop showed me in their book it was an ignition control module. I replaced it but the new one was obviously defective (multiple misfires code and ran like a tank). I put the old one back in and the codes 1361 and 1362 disappeared and have not returned. Could be luck but I believe there was either a bad connection (speck of corrosion) or the ICM reset upon reinstalling. I know it works for phones most
Of the time, unplug them and plug them back and the trouble mysteriously disappears. Worth a shot.
Depends greatly on what year make and model you have. Often the primary causes are but are not limited to: 1. Bad sensor 2. Bad computer or it needs reprogrammed 3. bad wiring/connector.
Trouble codes in a 1993 Buick Lesabre, or any vehicle are an exciting diagnostic tool. The troubleshooting of the past is minimized. The advent of electronics and computers to automobiles can prevent total breakdowns due to early warnings. The codes can show low air in the tires or major failures.
What you are looking for is the DLC or Data Link Connector which will require an OBD-II reader to retrieve codes from. The location of the DLC is on the driver's side under the dash.
Have vehicle scanned to see if any codes are present
I don't know what you are calling a sensor box. If you are refering to the computer, go to auto zone and have the codes read free. GoodluckJoe
Disconnect the neg battery cabl;e for 30 seconds. If it comes back on, take it to auto zone and have the codes read for free.
Take the negative battery cable off, then turn the ignition to the on position to leave the ignition on for 5 seconds then turn off. Then reconnect your negative battery cable.
computer uses cam sensor to adjust injector pulse so, yeah , it sure could, if it has one
Have the codes read, my problem was with the throttle position sensor. My 94 le Sabre was also stalling occasionally.
error code cpk
First check and see if there are any codes in your computer that could be a bad sensor. My check engine light came on then went off for a long time but after the car had to be towed in we found a bad fuel sensor and when it was replaced the car has run fine since.
You have to buy a decoder that you plug into your car:)
