Most cases the battery light comes on because the alternator isn't charging. The alternator may need replaced as well as the battery. It may be something more simple as a poor connection.
yes it can i have a 2001 alero gls and it comes with 16" stock rims and 205/55/r16 tires
It should, yes. That would be normal operation.
replace the alternator
the battery is under the back passenger's side seat. the whole seat comes off.
it looks like a little coolant jug that comes on the bottom left side of the dash
you can't really reset a battery.... to reset the sensors and the panel, open the fuse panel by the drivers door and hold the red reset button for about 10 15 seconds. It should make the same ding sound as when an indicator light comes on
there are two things to do first you can reset the computer by disconnecting the battery for about 1/2 hour then if your light still comes on after that just go to an autozone and they will check the light out for you for free and let you know what needs to be fixed and what code you have.
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
100 foot pounds, as listed in the manual that comes w/ the cars. Also verifed by the Dealship service desk when it was still open in 2004.
When your security light comes on and your car will not start, turn you key to the on position and wait 10 minutes. The light will go off and you need to turn the key to the off position, then restart your car.
The transmission fluid dipstick for the Oldsmobile Alero does not exist. In place of the traditional fluid checking mechanism, the Alero has two caps. One of these is red, is located in the vicinity of the master brake cylinder, and is for refilling transmission fluid. The other cap, or plug, is 15mm and roughly halfway down the transmission. Loosen it carefully. If fluid comes out, the transmission fluid is good. If not, however, more fluid must be added.
