 |
|
Any help on this much appreciated...
When I press the brakes both the brake lights and the sidelights (headlights) come on.
And, if headlights already on, the brake lights don't come on at all!!
I thought this might be wrong wattage in brake bulbs, but its not.
Its a 1992 Vauxhall Nova
Thanks in advance
Ivor :? |

You may not need a scanner since many pre-1996 cars have ways for
codes to be read without any special equipment, by shorting certain
connector pins together. Check a Toyota or Mitchell manual for
information or a Toyota owner site, like ToyotaNation.com. If your
Toyota has OBD I, there are scanners that will read that format. The
Check Engine light shouldn't stay lit, period, and it was possibly
illegal for the car to have been sold in that condition.

Possibly. And depending on how inspection rules change over time, this
car may not pass in the future. Where I live, simply having a check
engine light on is grounds for failing a test. The OPs state may
eventually adopt similar rules.

1995 Toyota Tercel. Bought it at 160,000 miles and the seller says that
nobody is able to cancel the "Check Engine" light. Told me not to worry
about smog test, it will pass. He was right it passed quite cleanly.
What codes do you get from the computer?
Thaks for your reply Noozer. I get no codes because this is an OBD1 and
nobody seems to sell scanners except for OBD2.
Advice? How can I get a reading?
Thanks, Ivan Vegvary

This site will tell you how to pull your codes: http://www.troublecodes.net/Toyota/
The check engine light is on for a reason. You need to pull the codes
and find out why. It may or may not be something worth fixing but you
should at least find out what it is. Pull the codes and post back if
you need more information. |
