I just came back from Christmas holidays...
By the way, I hope everybody has had very good Christmas ! B)

When I was coming back with my lovely car, the check engine light came up ???
I have check in the manual and it could be a couple of things... nothing major (if the check engine doesn't flash).

Is this happened to you ?
I will see if it will desappear and if no I will have it check during my first oil change... soon....

PS> Je suis restee pris avec mon auto !!! J'ai ete oblige de le pousser et de laisser conduire mon pere ! Je crois que mes prochain pneus d'hiver seront a clous ! Hahaha !!! Anyway, je crois que tout auto serait reste pris dans ces conditions !

Conseil... Eviter les routes TRES secondaires glacees !!!

 

Salut marylène,
Content de savoir que tu es revenu vivante du bas du fleuve.....
En passant Mary, j'ai vu Marc de EAML et il était affecté d'une double sinusite....crois moi qu'il faisait pitié le pauvre, et il doit travailler en plus de ça!!!!ouf...pas évident....Que lui as-tu fait au juste!!!!
Et comment va ta famille.... B)
No check engine light lite up in the dash for me, the car is just fine hibernating in the garage....
Maybe it's just a sensor, i would chec for a low level antifreeze or something of that nature before you go spent some precious time at the dealer....I'm sure it's nothing serious, with all the electronics in the cars now a days, it's no wonder you get Chritmas tree lights once in a while....
Keep us posted....

 

A few people have had that problem with their '05.

Check if the gascap is tight, sometimes that does it.

Otherwise, take it to the dealer, you are under warranty, let them fix it

 

Galaxie,
I have checked the gascap... and refilled the tank also... but the light is still there...
Anyway, I will have it check at my first maintenance appointment in 2-3 weeks...

Daniel, tout le monde de ma famille va bien et mon pere etait tres content de conduire ma nouvelle bagnole !!! Lui et ma mere ont eu le S/N #17 de la premier edition en 1964 .... donc beaucoup de souvenir pour eux ...
Et je n'ai rien fait de special a Marc ! Hahahah ! a part parler de char et de bike ! Il a un beau petit GSX 1000 ... Ca m'a donne l'envie de m'en racheter un !
Tres sympatique le gars !!!! et tres professionel
(PS. J'ai oublie les salutaion... oups ! )
Merci pour le tuyau ! Je vais aller le revoir au printemps ...

 

I think that the "check engine" light must be coming fron the hood getting too much snow lately....

 

The lite may be an indication that there was a small glitch when you started your car, probably brought on by the cold. If that is true, the
lite should clear itself after the car has been off for a period of time
and started I think about 5 times. If the lite does clear , ask your dealer
at your next Oil change about the Specific Off time and number of starts. If it doesn't clear get to your dealer. had same problem with
SportTrac last Winter.

 

Still there...

 

Just a sensor Mary, i wouldn't worry about it, they will fix it in minutes i'm sure....let me know....

 

Guest what.... It desappeared tonight ...

By the way... I LOVE this car !!!!

 

Glad to hear that it dissapeared, but you had a problem with a sensor somewhere, it's probably recorded somewhere in the car's computer for future reference....It probably was all that crappy wheather we got the last few weeks.....and guess what, more snow on the way for tomorrow.... Still LOVE your car Mary!!!!!

 

Ouais !! Still love my car !
But I can't wait for the summer to "really" try it....
