How do you reset the Service Engine Soon light on a 1998 Ford Taurus?
Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes.
Unhook the negative battery cable for a couple of minutes then reconnect it. It will clear all codes until the problem reoccurs when you start the engine.
Pull the codes from the computer, match the code to the troubleshooting procedure, follow the procedure to find the source. Repair the source, light will go out if that was the only problem. There are "monitors" or self tests the computer runs the car through a drive cycle, if a problem occurs, it may not run all of the self tests until that problem is taken care. Therefore, another problem may exist. It is emission related. OR hook up a scanner that is capable of clearing codes, and hope that none are still active.
The " check engine light" is by far one of the most misunderstood technological advances by the public. This is an needed in-depth understanding for the public. It is a warning light that is illuminated when there is a problem affecting the EMISSION SYSTEM only. Emission system being the pollution control system. Don't get a hard on against it as it is a good thing once you understand it. One point that was brought up a a recent meeting of technicians was that the amount of hydrocarbons is greater when the gas cap is left off than when the engine is running. Hydrocarbons are part of pollution emitted as gasoline evaporates. Going a step farther, one facet of the emission system is the "Evaporative" portion. This is when the fumes from the gasoline are leaking from the system into the outside air. This is one part of the emission system that can trigger a check engine light. I would say that about 7% of the vehicles that have a check engine light are the result of a loose or inadequate gas cap. But understand that many scenarios are possible with the "check engine light" The vehicle's powertrain computer (note that some vehicles have 17 different computers) will run a series of self-tests. They will only run under certain criteria. And they can be vastly different from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some self-tests are not run until preceding ones have run successfully. So if there is a problem in one particular area that is preventing another self test from running, you can have a situation where one problem is fixed, but another still exists. If you fix a problem and drive the car through a drive cycle that sets the monitor (or self test) the light will go off as it passes that criteria that triggered it in the first place. After 1996, the auto industry went to a idea called OBD II (on board diagnostics). This was to get all the manufacturers onto a similar plane for troubleshooting and powertrain control. While they still differ vastly, many corrections and adaptations were made for technicians to better fix the check engine light problems. Prior to this there were so many different and poor troubleshooting data from a check engine light problem that resolving the problem was much more difficult. Many early warning light of this nature were set to illuminate based on mileage. An Oxygen sensor was one of the things that were meant to be replaced when that mileage was hit. This is much like many current "Change oil lights� that are set based on a pre-set mileage.
well from what I see, the Axle is gear 3.54. there should be a "." in between the 3 and the 5.
46 is the number of teeth on the ring gear. 13 is the number on the pinion. 46 divided by 13 equals 3.54. That is where your gear ratio comes from. 5358563 sounds like a part number .

How do you know your turn signals are burning out?
You know a turn signal has burnt out when the light on the dash flashes very slowly, or just stays on until you cancel the signal. I don't think there is any way to know that it is about to burn out.
How do you reset the service engine light on a 2002 GMC Envoy after repair?
Stepping 3 times on the accelerator pedal while in 'run" mode will reset the "Oil Change Light" but not the "Check Engine Light". Still looking for the answer...!
AnswerMost of the OBD2 code scanners have the ability to clear a code. You can usually borrow, rent or buy an OBD2 code scanner from most auto parts retailers. AnswerWell I don't know if this will work on this model but this worked on similar full-sized trucks of the same time frame. Turn the key to run but do not start engine. While in "run" mode step on the accelerator pedel (3)three times then start engine. Couldn't hurt to try it. R.W.if its ses light remove battery ground cable for 30se.
How do you change the front brake pads on a 2001 Ford Focus?
I'm not an expert, but I have changed my front brake pads on my 2000 Ford Focus Wagon. I strongly recommend getting a manual for your car which has instructions on how to replace...
Minimum tools you need: a jack, a car stand (don't rely on the jack to hold the car up while you work on it), a tire iron (comes with the car), a Philips and a standard screwdriver, a c-clamp at least six inches in width, and either an Allen wrench or a star shaped wrench (my car takes an 8mm Allen).
- ** *** Note: you should always use the side you are NOT working on as reference. This is very helpful.
1. Make sure you are on level ground. Loosen the lug nuts, then jack up the car. Put the stand under the body of the car, then lower the car onto the stand.
2. Remove lug nuts, then tire.
3. Behind the brake assembly there are two holding screws, one on top and one on bottom of the brake assembly. These are either Allen bolts or a star shaped bolt. You can't see them, but they are in a rubber sleeve with a little cap over it to protect it from corrosion. Remove the cap from the rubber sleeve and fit the wrench to the screw. You can use a mirror and a flashlight or lamp to help you see the bolt head, but it's hard to get at no matter what... You don't have to remove the bolts, just unscrew them enough so that they no longer hold the brake assembly.
4. Slide the brake assembly from the rotar. Inspect the rotar. If it is grooved or has a lip on it's edge, it may need to be resurfaced or replaced. Resurfacing can be done by any mechanic and if you are in doubt about whether to replace or resurface, they can give you an educated opinion.
5. Remove the brake pads from the brake assembly. They are sometimes held on with a Philips screw, as well as a metal clip. Once the srew (if you have one) and the clip are released pull the brake pad away from the brake assembly.
6. Go to an auto parts store. Make sure to bring your old parts with you, AND, before you leave the store, compare the new parts with the old to make sure they gave you the right parts. This will save you an extra trip to the auto parts store. Apparently they often mislabel parts.
7. Back at your car... look at the brake assembly. You will see a round piston in the middle of the assembly (this is where a manual comes in handy). Compress the piston with the C-clamp until it is flush with the rest of the metal on the brake assembly.
8. Replace the brake pads. MAKE SURE not to bend the clips on the brake pads!!! They don't look like they do much, but in fact, they are an important part of keeping the brake pads attached to the brake assembly. My stupid brother was helping me with my brake replacement and he bent the crap out of my brake pad which totally messed up my brake replacement... Make sure you are kind to these clips or you will have to go to the auto parts store to get another set like I had to do.....
9. If your rotars are fine, put them back on, if not, get new ones or have the old ones resurfaced.
10. Slide the brake assembly back onto the rotar. Align the assembly with the holding screws. Tighten the holding screws and replace the caps on the rubber sleeves.
11. Put the wheel back on, put the lug nuts back on, but wait until you lower the car to really tighten them up. If you don't, you wrench your wheels out of alignment.
12. Do the other side.
13. With your car on the ground, with all the lug nuts completely tightened, start your car up. Pump the brakes a few times to compress the pistons onto the rotars. When you feel the brakes grabbing, you can try using them.
14. There is smoke and bad smells at first, then everything goes back to normal.
- ** *** **** I didn't mention are grease for the pads that should be applied to the OUTSIDE of the pads because I didn't learn of it until after I fixed my brakes. Apparently this helps with the friction that causes smoke and bad smells... I didn't do this, so I can't tell you how. ALSO, I don't know anything about leaching (?) the brake fluid, aparently this is helpful, but again, I don't really know anything about it except that it prevents air bubbles in the brake fluid. Air bubbles in the brake fluid make your brakes periodically fail to work. This didn't happen to me when I replaced my brakes, but it is apparently a common occurance.
as well just make sure you pop open the brake fluid resvoir. its at the back right of the engine bay. once u open your hook its at top right and has a caution sign on it.. already remember to put it back when done@
answer
after you do first side, pump the brakes few times, it will put piston into proper position and prevent overflowing brake fluid when you compress second piston, also "the grease" mentioned in previous answer is actually glue to prevent brake squeaking, it use to be included with every brake set
#WTF?!!#
Glue on brakes are you insane? You put copper grease on the back of the pads and sides where it comes into contact with the calipers, DO NOT get any on the friction surface or the disk. You must use copper grease as it has a high temperature resistance. When pushing the piston back into the calliper you should, clamp off the brake line, open the bleed nipple, attach a pipe leading to a tub to collect the pushed out break fluid. This protects the ABS unit if you have one fitted and also on GM and some other cars if you do not do this you will turn the master cylinder seals inside out, meaning you will need to replace that. Remember to close the brake nipple and wipe on any fluid. Torque all bolts and wheel nuts to manufacturers specified torque..... or LUGS as known in the USA. .

How to remove air filter box on 95 Ford Aspire?
I own a 96, so I don't know how similar the engine compartment configuration is. But, if it is like mine, you just simply remove the lid and filter and there are a series of bolts that are easily accessible. Be sure to disconnect the intake from the throttle body to make it easier on yourself.
Where is the oil pump on the 2001 ford explorer sport?

How do you reset the service light on the 940 volvoafter an oil change?
Below the speedometer there are 2 reset buttons. The one that sticks out resets the odometer. The other one is under a little rubber plug. (If the plug isn't lost) Pry out the plug and push in the reset button. The button can be pushed through the plug, but sometimes the plug ends up inside the cluster. I just take out the plug and throw it away.

How do you replace the drivers side door lock on an 88 K1500?
Take off door panel and on the inside of the door is a sliding latch pull it out this will release the lock. all the rest is just accessed the same way inside the door frame just detach all bolts and pull out.
How do you adjust the drivers side windshield wiper after replacing the wiper motor?
This is different for many makes and models. To be more specific you need the year, make, and model of the vehcile. In general most but not all wipers are adjusted by a nut at the base or bottom of the wiper arm where it enters the cowl of the vehicle. Sometimes this nut is coverd by a piece of plastic or metal that will pop off or is hinged to access the nut. If this is the case loosen that nut, move the wiper arm where you want it, and tighten the nut.
What can be the cause of power locks on your 97 Mitsubishi Galant not to unlock but it lock?

How do you change the pcv valve on a 1993 Toyota Paseo?
First, locate the pcv valve. It is on the top of the valve cover in the center of it and has a small hose(about 4" long) going into the intake manifold. Now you will need needle nose pliers to remove the clamp from the pcv valve. Take your pliers and grab the round clamp at the two ends facing up and squeeze until the clamp opens. While holding the clamp open, gently move the pliers left and right while pushing towards the intake manifold. Once the clamp has moved off the valve, release the pliers. You should now be able to remove the rubber hose from the valve. Pull the hose off the valve. Now that the hose is removed, you should see the plastic end of the valve(right angle shape) Next, hold the valve at the base of the grommet(this is on the valve cover) pull up on it while twisting it back an forth. This part may be a little hard as some pcv grommets are tighter than others. Removed it little by little. Don't try to pull it out all in one shot or it might snap apart. I'd recommend getting your replacement pcv valve from the dealer. I've seen some aftermarket valves not work properly. Now the reinstall. Take your replacement and put a small amount of oil(very little) on the valve where it inserts into the valve cover. push straight down on the top of the valve until it is fully seated. When the valve is fully seated, you should be able to turn the top of the valve into position facing the intake manifold. Now, attach the hose to the new pcv valve and use pliers to move the clamp back into place on the hose. You will notice a ring shaped imprint in the hose where the clamp should be seated. Good Luck!!!
edit: I advise also replacing the grommet since it will eventually get so hard and brittle that when you do have to replace it it will break up and pieces will fall into the engine.
