Replace your Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
Visit Saturnfans.com for help in diagnosis
The orange engine light means that your Saturn LS300 has a sensor that is signaling for a service. This could be an oxygen sensor, an oil sensor, or even a tire sensor.
The vehicle speed sensor is located in the transaxle. If the technician forgot to pop the sensor far enough back into the hole, the tranny fluid could potentially leak out. I know, because this happened to me when I replaced my Speed sensor.
Hello i have a 97 dodge neon outo trans which forward works good but no revers, any idea what it could b, it just stop working
Coolant Temp Sensor (CTS) if its more pronounced on cold days - this is the 2 wire sensor - NOT the one wire sensor - the 2 wire sends input to the PCM (computer) and the 1 wire is for the dash light/guage. Eric The coolant temperature sensor is a common problem for these cars. I would be suspicious of it. When my Saturn wouldn't start on cold days it ended up being a computer chip. This chip also controlled the shifting. My car had problems starting in cold and shifting at first when cold.. once computer chip was replaced, there has been no problems.
If your pressing your brake when shifting it could be the neutral and park sensor. Or the linkage. If its the linkage you might have problems with your transmission slipping and shifting by its self or into certain positions easyly than others.
fan does not kick on . when wired direct, it comes on. could it be the sensor?
If its the same sensor each time, then there is an underlying issue that keeps reoccuring. It could be that what ever the sensor is monitoring is breaking as to alert to the issue, or it could be that there is a short somewhere in the wiring or even it could be getting too hot or wet. Which sensor is it by the way.
If the transmission is slipping or shifting badly it COULD be a sign of a valve body failure. If the transmission will not engage reverse or any of the forward gears, it COULD be a sign of a valve body failure.
Passlock sensor (Ignition housing) Or body control module fault
my transmission is not shifting on my 2005 Ford Taurus what could be the problem
Could be alot of things. Here's a few that i suggest to ck out. 1. Clogged cataletic convertor. 2. need a tune-up 3. TPS sensor (Throdle position sensor) 4. MAP sensor
THATS possible if its a Honda or foreign car.some of these models have external soliniods.the transmission fuid is channeled to the solinoids for shifting porposes.and there are seals on the sol.so ya they could leak.there could also be a sensor leaking and not a solinoid and that could be on any vehicle made
