P= Powertrain 0140= bad oxygen sensor downstream from the catalytic converter. Check wiring first, if no problems with broken wiring replace sensor.
what does the engine light on the 1999 olds alero mean
Bad O2 sensor-no activity detected.
did you mean code P0140 ? this means o2 sensor no activity( bank 1 sensor 2) in other words replace the O2 sensor. hope this answers your question.
if you mean the oil drain plug it is located in the middle of the oil pan usally a 15mm or a 14mm socket will remove it.
The same gauge light is on in my 1999 Olds Alero. Have you been able to find out the answer from another source? I was thinking low coolant or fuel but just a guess.
Trouble code P0440 means:Evaporative emission control system malfunction
The engine computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
Trouble code P0107 means: Manifold absolute pressure or barometric pressure circuit low input
Assuming you mean "when" was Oldsmobile introduced, it was 1897
It means that the traction control system is disabled. You may have manually switched it off, or the parking brake may not be fully released, or there is a fault detected in the system and a scan tool will be required to learn what fault has been detected.
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.
These codes are for the O2 Sensor - One is for the heater core inside the O2 Sensor, the other is the sensor. It's gone bad! - No Activity, is what it will read. It's the (Bank 1 Sensor 2) Not sure where it's located, ibelieve it's right in front of the Cat. good luck.
