While shorter than average drivers can have a tough time finding the right car, it’s equally hard for taller drivers, perhaps more so. If you’re feeling squished, or have to...
Is the spark plug firing consistently? If not, the ignition coil driver circuits in the PCM/ICM for the misfiring cylinder could be faulty. If the coil "itself" is confirmed good, the primary side circuit to the coil, including the pulse...
The SYNC feature links all climate zone settings to the driver settings. Adjusting the driver side temperature control changes the linked temperature. When the passenger settings are adjusted, the temperatures are unlinked and the SYNC indicator will turn off. Please...
Hi Brett. Thanks for contacting us today. Typically, when you've replaced the fuel injectors, plugs and wires, and still getting a single cylinder misfire, it's going to be related somehow to the ECU. Either a trouble code is stuck or...
Check the fluid level to be sure it is not either too high or too low. If the fluid level is correct, the high temperature is due to a malfunction such as a slipping clutch or band. That, in turn...
If the fog lights don't go out when you switch them off, especially when the car is running, the relay in the circuit is probably stuck closed. An electrical diagnostic would confirm that. There are time delays on vehicle lights,...
The luminaire used for HID versus non-HID bulbs is different (the photometrics are different). Unless the mechanic replaced the entire enclosure (luminaire) and re-aimed the lamps, the modification you are describing might not pass inspection and may be dangerous if...
Hi Jose. Thanks for the question tonight. There are a few possible sources of the vibration and noise you're hearing and feeling on the CTS. The most common component that can cause all of these symptoms would be a wheel...

If the problem is simply no starter motor operation the fault is typically quite limited. With a fully charged battery that passes a load test, or a new fully charged battery as required, and the immobilizer (security) system off -...
This is an electrical issue which will require a circuit trace and basic tests with a voltmeter to pin down, that is identify the faulty component or wiring fault. Broadly, the display itself (it may for example be an LCD)...
Hi Brett. Thanks for sending the question today. Anytime your ECU detects a random misfire it will store the code until it is physically removed through a digital scanner. This is likely why you're still getting the codes after completed...
Wire breaks are often in the door hinge area (in the rubber boot connecting the door cavity to the pillar), because the wires are frequently extended and compressed as you open and close the door. To diagnose this yourself, and...
