Sounds like the one that says the air pressure across your 4 tires is unbalanced.
One or more tires has a pressure significantly different thatn the others.
Will the check engine light come on if you do not reset the maintenance light?
No. There is a problem
What do the two orange-white wires go to on a tach?
to the solnoide find the distributer follow the center wire to from there to the solnoide one is a positive and one is a negative wire that is where you attach to the two nuts on either side if it
How do you troubleshoot an ABS light on a 1997 Cadillac Deville?
This is a start but beyond this get your wallet out. The ABS and Traction Control are an integrated unit, ie: either could be at fault. First place to look is the wheel sensors, take one wheel off at a time and in behind on the back side of the hub assembly you will see an electrical connector with two wires going into it. Unsnap the connector and measure the resistance across the (wheel side) of the plug with your digital meter - set meter to ohms - mine were about 1.110 to 1.052 on the 2K ohms scale. What the actual reading should be I dont know but you can get a good idea if one is bad by comparing the measurements from all four wheels. Obviously a reading on one well above or below the others is a good indication of a bad sensor. The other check to do on each sensor is to check that the sensor is outputting. Connect your leads across the (wheel side) of the plug again and set your meter to AC volts on the lowest scale. Now put your wheel back on with a couple of nuts hand tight and spin the wheel while watching the meter. Mine showed about 0.40 volts turning as fast as I could - the voltage will vary the faster you turn. If you have no AC volts on one then take the brake caliper off and the rotor and inspect / clean the sensor and pulse mechanism from the inside & try again. Next - *switch on your ignition* & connect your meter across the (CAR SIDE) of the plug and switch to DC volts on say the 20 volt range - the reading on mine was about 4.7 volts and varied about 0.2 between all readings. (DO NOT SHORT OUT THESE BY ACCIDENT - GO SLOW USE EXTREME CARE) Again I do not know the actual spec but a reading on one greatly different from the others is a good indicator that something is wrong with the ABS module itself or the wiring leading back to it. Follow each line and check all plugs found. On the rear wheels the right and left sensors converge into a four wire plug fastned to a cross member about mid point. You can actually do all your checks here for the rear wheels without taking the wheels off if you want. The front is impossible to follow any distance.
Note that the plugs Cadilac uses for this system is absolutely pathetic considering the extreme harshness of the environment being right at the wheels and inches from the ground. Stones sticks or ice could rip them right off the car and they are watertight plugs not waterproof. WHAT A CRUEL JOKE! GM Engineers are morons. Instal an expensive safety system to insure it will never work when you need it most - wet & snowing. In any case this is as far as I got, all my readings were similar and therefore my problem is (not likely) to be a sensor. I'll add to this as I (learn more) & work back toward the actual system.
How do you reset the oil change light on a 2002 Chevy?
turn the key to "on", just shy of engaging the starter. push the gas pedal to the floor fully 3 times. If this doesn't cause light to flash and reset turn off key and try again except push gas pedal 4 times. AP Anc AK
If that doesn't work;
With the key off, push and hold in the odometer button, depress the break pedal 10 times then release the odometer button.
Problem solved....
What does the indicator light with an arrow pointing down to a squiggly line mean?
It's a GM product (I'm assuming) and it means that your coolant level is low. Although if it is full, it's probably a bad sensor (Rather common with Gm on that sensor). If you call GM, they'll tell you to gently hit the sensor and it should turn off if reservoir is full.
Why would the dashboard lights not work on a 1998 Vauxhall Vectra CD estate?
the most common problem is the dimmer wheel being knocked and turned down by the drivers knee on entering the vehicle, look below the headlight switch and there should be a rotating wheel that will dim or brighten the dash lights, try this first before anything else. robb
Where is the speedometer sensor in a 1995 Honda Accord?
I'm not too sure about the 1994 Honda accord because i don't have one myself. However, in most cars the speedometer sensor is located on the transmission, close to the point of engagement between the transmission and the front axle. The speedometer is attached tho the transmission with bolt(s) depending on the car.
What does a s in a circle mean on the dash board of a vauxhall omega?
It means the sport mode for the automatic gearbox is turned on. This changes the way the 'box changes gear - upshifts are at much higher revs, downshifts are quicker.
Where on a 2001 Chevrolet Impala is the oil pressure switch located?
It is located near the oil filter. Turn the key to the "ON" position and depress the accelerator pedal to the floor within 5 seconds. Turn the key back on and the light should blink and then go off.
Door ajar light on dash is on after all doors are closed?
Possible faulty door switch.Try contact cleaner or light grade of lubricant on the switch. Push it i nby hand and see if door ajar light goes out.
Usually problems like that are contributed by a loose ground wire in the system.Check all ground terminations for loose wires or paint under them.
How do you replace the lighting in the instrument panel?
How to replace intrument panel lights on 2002 cadillac escalade
Obviously a fault [short or ground] in the wiring circuit(s) to these devices.
If they are on the same circuit, a single fault is probably the cause.
If they are on separate circuits, the cause could be either a single fault in a circuit which supplies power to those circuits, or there is a fault on each [unlikely] of them.
The first step is to check for a "blown" fuse. A blown fuse is generally not a "cause" of failure; the cause is whatever caused the fuse to fail.
Most people simply replace blown fuses, but a blown fuse indicates that either a short circuit or an "overload" condition has occured [causing the fuse to fail]. Simply replacing a blown fuse is much like [in medicine] treating a symptom, without treating the disease.
For troubleshooting explanations and suggestions, see answers to a similar question: "What would cause the cigarette lighter to stop working all of a sudden without the fuse being blown on a 1992 Lexus LS400."
How do you change the time on the dashboard clock for a merceds ml?
Go to command and select services
time is there
Can a bike speedometer work with a go kart?
Depends on what you mean by "bike", and which one you choose.
If "bike" = bicycle:
Some bicycle computers are quite stupid, and will readily accept being programmed with a wheel circumference that wouldn't occur on a regular bicycle. One of these would work with a go kart.
You'd need to find a good place and a good way to mount the magnet, but otherwise, no big deal.
There is a slight risk that the bicycle computer might not be able to accept the speeds a go kart can reach.
If "bike" = motorcycle, it's probably trickier. Motorcycle speedos can have either a direct drive off the front wheel, or an electronic pickup in the gearbox. Either way, they're not as easily reprogrammed as bicycle computers.
A 3rd option is to use something GPS-based. Maybe even a cellphone app. Runkeeper or Strava might work. There are probably similar apps for motorized vehicles that'll do a better job.
Your frontera fuel gauge does not work how do you check and remove the sender?
It could be a faulty unit or a disconnected connection (oxymoron?). I would need to know the car and year to give you specific instructions on how to go about checking the connection. You could remove the fuel tank to access the fuel sender. However if you remove the carpet in the boot there is a rectangular template marked on the floor. Cut this out and you can remove the fuel guage sender. Once the cause of the problem has been rectified, make up a hinge and fastner arrangement for future access.
The warning light in the bottom area of your tachometer that looks like a
circle ( gear ) with an exclamation mark in the middle is your " check
transaxle " ( transmission ) warning light . If the light stays on take your
vehicle in for servicing
What is the light on a BMW dash panel that looks like a circle with three dashes on each side?
Disk brake pad indicator. When this illuminates (at other times than stating the engine) it indicates that the front disk brake pads should be replaced. Brake pad wear is always heavier on the front than on the back.
Why does my oil light stay on when I start my Pt cruiser?
When a person turns their car on, the dashboard lights should turn off. However, if they do not, it means there is a problems. An oil light will stay on if there is low oil in a car.
How do you stop your car from dieseling?
There should be a fuel shutoff that needs to be adjusted, but let the car idle a couple of minutes before shutting it off and the valves should cool off enough to not diesel.
