Without knowing much more of the story, e.g., repairs that have been made, battery replaced, alternator replaced, I'll refer you to the "Related Question" below.

This is a comprehensive trouble-shooting guide for alternator/battery problems.

Should provide a good 'jump-start' (couldn't resist the play on words there!) to tracing the root of the problem.

Note: it would be terrifically helpful if you could come pack and edit this response by adding in what you find was causing your problem.

How do you trace an electrical short in an auto?

User Avatar

Asked by Jeffreyt

its rarely easy without diagrams but the only advice i can give is either to start at the power source (battery) and follow it to the faulty device until you find the short somewhere in between the two or sometimes its easier to fallow the fault from the devise back to the power source this might sound over simplistic but the fault has to be between the two points power---------------------device but always remember it could be a negative(earth)problem as easily as a positive power problem hope you can find the fault

You make sure you have the correct DIN removal tool for that vehicle. If that doesn't work, then you take the vehicle to someone who knows what he is doing.

How do you reset the ABS traction control codes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

Bringto shop that has an ABS scanner to determine problem and/or reset

Wow, taking it to a shop would have never crossed my mind! The guy is a freaking Einstein! Put that guy on Jeopardy! Bringto is not a word, genius!

Unplugging the battery or having a shop erase the ABS code will only come back on when you start it up again. If you have mechanical abilities, purchase an Actron Brake Scanner CP9449 (mine was $120), check the code and fix it yourself. After a repair, the computer will run a self check and reset the light and code. If the light is still on, you still have a problem. Note: the CP9449 is not capable of resetting codes.
