Hello and thank you for your question. It seems that the battery in your vehicle has a low charge and probably has an overcharged cell. I recommend replacing your battery then re-testing to see if it keeps on starting up....
Since you had the battery disconnected the computer needs to relearn the idle again. I would recommend having the throttle body cleaned and then the throttle relearn process done so the idle can stabilize and be relearned by the computer....
A bad lifter will not make a knocking noise. It will make a tapping noise. I would recommend having a qualified mechanic listen to the noise to see if it is a lifter noise, a piston rod, or main bearing...
The only sensor that will cause the RPM gauge to read incorrectly and cause a rough running engine is the crankshaft position sensor, or its wiring and connector. Try and disconnect the crankshaft sensor connector located above the oil filter...
An oscilloscope is typically used to look at both the amplitude and frequency of the analog output signal from a two wire Hall Effect sensor, which is the type that you have. Alternatively, you can use a multimeter set to...
The problem sounds like you have a piston hitting a valve. You will need to try and put the number one piston on top dead center on it compression stroke and check camshaft timing to see if it is in...
All of the transmission codes tells me your transmission is not fine and may have a wiring or solenoid problem. You will need to have the pinpoint tests done for each code to determine if it is a computer problem,...
Hi there. From the description you have provided, you replacing the water pump and now you have a new noise and no heat, are an combination of things going on. First, the loud humming noise coming from the water pump/timing...
Hi There, It sounds like you may have a dirty or failing idle air control valve. The idle air control valve monitors the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine at low...
Adjusting the volume in the infotainment system is very easy. Simply rotate the VOL knob until you reach your volume preference. The volume will increase when the knob is rotated clockwise, and decrease when the knob is rotated counterclockwise.

If your vehicle has overheated it is very possible that head gasket or head damage has occurred. I would recommend having the engine thoroughly inspected as well as pressure tested to determine if any coolant leaks exist. I would also...
Your vehicle is equipped with electric power steering (EPS). A steering angle sensor other various sensors, are used to provide input to the EPS control module. The module uses this information to determine control of an electric motor, which is...
Hi Logan. Thanks for contacting us today. The leak is likely coming from either a coolant line or more likely, the heater core. To ensure you have the right repairs completed, you should have a professional mechanic complete an onsite...
Hello, thank you for writing in. There are several other components, some that you have mentioned, that can cause a multiple cylinder misfire. With that being said, the fuel filter should ALWAYS be replaced when replacing the fuel pump. Start...
Let me start with the fault codes. P0121 - Throttle Position Sensor Circuit. P0700 - Transmission Control System Malfunction. P1516 - Throttle Actuator Control. P2135 - Throttle Position Sensor Circuit. The fact that there is only 1 transmission code and...
Hello. It sounds like you may have an oil leak either at the valve cover or it may be at the head gasket. If you cannot pinpoint the actual point of the leak I would usually put some dye in...
The shop was correct about how the ECU controls the field current of the alternator which will cause the alternator to charge the batteries. If the wire on pin 57, the dark green with orange stripe wire at the ECU,...
