no biggie. i was helping a newbie in chat last night. i showed him this thread but didn't know if it would work for Touring models

 

Can anyone tell me what the error code 2173 is? It comes on very sporadically and when I shut the car off and back on, it's gone.

I seems to come on when I'm just cruising at like 40-50 KM/h and is accompanied with a red electrical sign on the left of the console and the yellow EPS/ABS light comes on on the left side of the console. The car also runs very rough and becomes gutless. But like I said, if I stop, turn off he car and back on. It clears and the car runs normal again. This has happened only 3 times in 3 months, but it makes me nervous to take it on longer trips because I don't know what it is and can't seem to find that code in any error lists. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

First of all,

If I ever have a question I know I can trust you guys to have it!!

My instrument panel is not a LED display like the C model....I wouldnt be able to do the check for errors like Maddog indicated in post 1 of this thread right?

no...not like that...

There should be a way to get the codes by key cycling..but I can't find the instructions on that way. The easiest is with a cheap code reader or predator in you're case.

 

To key cycle, cycle 3 times from the accessory position to on quickly, your evic will show codes if there are any.

She doesn't have an EVIC...so that won't help her...there should be a blink of the check engine light the same way..but I can't find any info on it.

 

I just can't wait to give two beans for all of that great information.

 

Has anyone ever come up against code PO657 can't seem to find out what it is or how to fix it.

 

Don't see that one in the my list, marietown. Before we try to decode this, have your mechanic pull the Auto Shutoff/PCM fuse (domestic market cars have this at the Fuse 11 position in the underhood fusebox - check your owner's manual to be sure this is the same on your car), leave the fuse out for at least a minute, then reinstall and start the car. The codes may clear now that the transmission leak has been mechanically repaired.

 

Thanks, i'll pass that onto the mechanic, not too sure he know what to look for.

 

Excellent thread.. I have been working on my vehicles audio system and now i am unable to start my Car. Its actually the third time. 1st time was the machine gun like noised and jumped it. The second and third times are identical where the dash lights up and radio comes on, etc.. but the car will not turn over.

I did the error diagnostic and im getting 0645 which is a AC clutch control
would this stop the car from starting and where should i looked.
i checked all related based on the manual and fuses are all good

Thanks

If you have headers on you're car that his the cause, otherwise either the rear 02 sensor stopped working, burnt a wire, or you're cat quit working.

 

No headers, how does one check to see if the cat is working? The check engine light came on and went out a couple of times now. when it comes on the car works the same,no noise/rattle from the cat & no performance issues at all.

 

So the code is being thrown intermittently? This indicates to me that you have a possible short in the wiring back to the sensor. Probably at the sensor end.

Yes, the code is being thrown intermittently,I pulled fuse 11 and the light has not come back on after two days of driving.
EDIT- CEL is back on - same code

I'll crawl under the car to have a look to see if i can find a loose wire.
EDIT- All seems good, they are plugged in and no broke or cut wires.

Is the car safe to drive like this? will it damage anything? Like i said performance wise it still works great.

thanks for the help.

EDIT- The CEL has not come on in three days now?

 

does anyone know what this sign means when i turn the key to ON and ACC i get the code 0016

 

Many thanks.:smileup:

 

Sorry if i am reviving an old thread.
But when i do key cycling, i get error code 0058. There is no p or letters or anything it just says 0058. Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

 

MB, more than likely there's a 'P' in front of it. If that's the case, then it's the second o2 sensor on the passenger side. You may need to change it out.

 

nope ..just says 0058.. i have a 06 300 base model. I agree though about the 02 sensor. Would this cause the car to go faster then normal without touching the gas? It seems like when i put the car in reverse, it goes awfully fast before i even touch the gas. And i am VERRY car illiterate, is changing out an 02 sensor something you recoomend i can do myself?

 

MADDOG your a F'ing Genius I got to buy you a beer. Thank you for your time and knowledge

 

LOLOL^^^^I will never claim to be a F'ing Genius....I'm just a good researcher.
