Just thought this was note worthy. The Service Engine light came on. I first check fluids. Surprisingly, I found the oil was just over 2 qts down! I cannot understand why no oil or other light came on long before this. Very, very slow leak. |
| 193000 mi | Sensors seem to produce false display messages indicating repairs needed that are not. The secondary service engine icon comes on for unknown reasons and goes back off randomly. So there is no way to determine its origin. The last code check said the engine coolant was not hot enough... Makes no sense unless it would produce some signs that the sensor was bad, its not. |
