Q: dEF error under odometer... gas and rpm needles flutter a little before going to the proper reading?? What could be wrong?
There has been a lot of heavy rain and the other day i drove over a puddle since I couldn’t get around it and my car died... a couple hours later it started back up and runs normally. A couple days later after not driving it for a little I start it up to check on it and the gas and rpm needles flutter a little before going to their proper reading.. nothing else is wrong from what I can see besides when starting up my car and the needles slightly flutter for about 5-10 seconds. There is an dEF error under mileage...any thoughts on what it could be?
My car has 136000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
