Is the program software that monitors vehicle performance for an onboard computer in a car high level language interpreted?
It's possible, but most likely it's written in a language similar to assembler. Problem is not to write software, problem is to compile in the code which can be understood by your car computer. Thus it's about compiler, not about the language you are using.
How do you reset check engine indicator for 2002 Lexus ES300?
You can disconnect the battery terminal, wait 10 seconds and then re-connect, this will reset the onboard computer and the check engine light will go out. However, this only resets the computer and does not solve the underlying problem with the vehicle. To correct the problem the code will have to read by a scanner and this will give some idea as to the problem with the vehicle.
How do you reset the check engine light on a 1996 sonoma?
First, you have to find out why it's on, repair the problem, then the computer will often reset itself. If it doesn't, you may need to connect an onboard diagnostic scanner. Just unhook the battery for a few mins... and it will go off if the problem is fixed
Why does vsc light come on 2008 highlander and how do you turn it off?
The VSC (Variable Skid Control) function is automatically activated by the onboard computer of the vehicle. When the light is on - the system is activated. If the light remains on it means that the onboard computer senses that you are constantly driving on slippery road conditions and the computer senses a skid may be likely - or - that it has failed to deactivate for some reason. There is no way (I know of) of manually deactivateng the anti-skid system. You may want to contact your mechanic or Toyota dealer. If the light comes on and stays on even in non-slippery conditions it is signalling that a problem/fault has been discovered in the system by the onboard diagnostic computer (OBD). Have it checked ASAP as this important safety function may not be operating.
What causes a 2000 Chevy Prizm to die after running for a while when it has a new battery and starts fine?
I had a similar problem with my 2000 Chevy Prizm. It would die intermittently, even when moving. The problem was that the onboard computer (ECM?) has a ground wire attached to the engine. When this wire would come loose the onboard computer would shut the engine off. A mechanic refastened the ground wire to the engine and car has been fine ever since. BTW, I suspect that the previous owner of my Prizm was doing some electrical work and did not reattach the above ground wire properly.
Will your car fail inspection if the check engine light is on?
In NJ your car will fail inspection if the light is on. In fact, your car will fail inspection up to 200 miles after you have the car serviced due to a problem that resulted in the service engine light being on. I had the service engine light on because of a faulty gas cap. I had the car serviced and then a day later took it to inspection. The car failed because the computer had not reset itself. I was told to come back after driving the car 200 miles because it often takes that long for the computer to show that everything is working fine.
If you just put a new motherboard in your computer and installed all the new drivers why would your onboard audio not work?
AnswerA few obvious things:1. The speakers are not plugged into the correct socket (usually the green coded one)2. The onboard sound is not enabled in the BIOS (the part that you press DEL to enter when you first turn your PC on)3. The incorrect drivers are installed4. There is a problem with the motherboard/speakers
How do you time 1998 Ford Contour?
According to my Haynes Manual the timing as not adjustable. It is controlled by the onboard computer. What can make a difference ,however is if the mechanical timing of the camshafts etc which is set when you change the timing belt or other repairs. Normally if the mechanical timing is correct the engine timing will be correct unless you have a sensor or computer problem. From the bigtomato
How do you reset the inspection light on a 1997 BMW 328iS?
Because the inspection lights are goverened by the Onboard Diagnostics Computer, you will need an OBD(II) computer to reset the light. Generally the only way to do that is to take the car to the dealer; otherwise the computer unit is very costly. The E36 model of BMW (all 3-series) can be the least expensive to repair. Their are 2 (two) different light resets ! 1) One is the oil servicel light. 2) Two is the inspection maintance light. Yes you can use a reset tool ,it didn't sound like that was something you wanted to purchase. The second way is to use the tripomter reset button.Their are 2 different instrament clusters used and what the say is slightly different. It also matters if you have gone a minum amount of miles or time,(as is the case in resetting brake fluid change lighgt.I'm going to refere you to bmw-planet.com or forums.bimmerfourms.com you should not have a problem finding resetting service interval light. good luck jeff.
Why is the inspection light on in a 1990 BMW 318?
The inspection light will come on when the engine is not operating properly. A check of the engine electronics is needed to find the problem that is turning the light on.
How do you put a 1995 Oldsmobile 98 3800 series 2 in time?
The timing is controlled by the onboard computer and cannot be adjusted without modifeing the computers programming. If you are certain that it is your timing that's the problem put your attention towards a possible stretched timing chain or a faulty crankshaft sensor.
