Hi. There are many problems with the Honda TPMS system. Honda has a proprietary TPMS system and can only be reset by the Honda dealer or somebody that has a Honda TPMS scan tool. I recommend taking the car to...
From the description of the symptoms your vehicle is experiencing, I can tell right away that the starter and battery are likely not the culprits. While most people assume a non-starting vehicle is due to a bad battery or a...
Hi There, Code P0845 relates to a pressure sensor that is not functioning properly. When the PCM or TCM receives a signal from this sensor, this information is used to control when shifts are made according to hydraulic pressure in...
The fast idle speed on your vehicle should be 2100 rpm. The carburetor on your truck has a choke system that will increase the idle when it's cold, to help get the truck up to operating temperature a little more...
Hello, thank you for writing in. Typically when the vehicle has blue smoke from the exhaust after warming up, it means that the engine is burning oil. This happens when oil leaks into the combustion chambers from a head gasket,...
If the outer bearings in the hub failed too quick then it is caused by lack of enough grease or the bearing was pre loaded too tight when installed or both. Make sure to use a good quality hi temp...
Hi. P0133 is a code for the oxygen sensor bank one sensor. P0410 is a code for the secondary air injection system malfunction and P0301 is a code for a misfire on cylinder 1. I would suggest having a certified...
The smoke is from the coolant leak when it hits a hot exhaust manifold. The leak may be from the thermostat housing. You should have the cooling system pressure tested to verify the leak in the system at the thermostat...
Your car may have a dirty or failing idle air control valve. The idle air control valve reads the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine at low speeds and at idle....
Hi, the way to tell if it was assembled incorrectly is to do a compression test on the engine and see if you have compression on all cylinders. You may have timed the engine incorrectly and this would show up...
When hooking up the battery cables backwards, the polarity of the voltage is reversed and will cause the fuses to pop, the alternator to burn out the regulator, and the computer (ECM) will burn up the ground circuit inside the...
Hi There, This can be caused by a loose battery cable which is often times the problem. Try checking to be sure they are connected properly. Also, there is a sensor that has 3 small wires running to it that...
Hi There, As you may know, the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor senses engine load and generates a signal that is proportional to the amount of vacuum in the intake manifold. The engine computer then uses this information to adjust...
It sounds like you may have a failing or worn out wheel bearing. A wheel bearing will usually fail due to pitting or small damage on the surface of the rollers or the bearing race. Both the surface of the...
I'm assuming that you are getting a message that says "Reduced Engine Power" in the driver information center. This is most likely due to a problem with the throttle system. There is no cable to actuate the throttle body;...
Hi, thanks for writing in. I'd be happy to provide my insight. This kind of problem may be caused by the alternator not charging at all. The charging system should be tested and checked first to make sure a fuse...
The vehicle needs to be inspected and diagnosed for intermittent connection issues at all the computer modules and the connections in between them. Have a mechanic check each pin and socket for any corrosion and pin fitment to make sure...
Hi There, The traction control system monitors the steering stability of the vehicle and engages when loss of traction has been detected. This is done by the use of electronic sensors at each of the four wheels that communicate with...
Hello. There is a big concern with the air bags on this car. If the car is, or even "was", equipped with a Takata airbag, I wouldn't consider purchasing it due to the Subaru Recall. Even if the airbag was...
The vibration you are feeling while braking may be because of warped brake rotors. Brake rotors can warp when they are overheated from repeated hard stops. The rattling noise during acceleration may be due to a loose panel or heat...
If you suspect that the repairs did not fix the leak then you will need to contact customer service and set up another appointment to have the leak checked and if it was caused by last repair they will take...
When routine service or maintenance is due the ECU activates this warning light to let you know. However, in most cases, the light needs to be cleared after the service manually. If you look in your owner manual, you should...
Engine misfires can be caused by many different problems and are generally caused by either a spark or fuel issue or in some cases, a combination of both. Spark related problems generally will result from things like ignition coils, crankshaft...
Hello. For this case, unfortunately the dealer will need to verify the problem so they can fix something. The vehicle has had computer software issues but ones that may not pertain to this car. If you keep a log of...
