Was heading home tonight and when I turned my car on the TCS off, SES, and SLIP light came on at once. I know I need a new cat which is the reason the SES light pops on from time to time but never had the other 2 come on a stay on. I poked around the forums a bit and came across some similar threads but the only difference was the ABS light was on too.

Any suggestions? Saw a bad sensor was the problem in one case, alternator, coils. Those were the most reoccurring. I have a 2k with almost 39k miles.

 

Have you had the coil packs replaced? Did you get the codes read? Wow, did you buy the car used? 39K on a 2000? That's some low mileage!!!

 

It is low millage! Bought it earlier in the year probably right before summer so no I haven't. Not much work has been done to it. Few little things here and there, but I was thinking maybe coils went around that time of millage. Didn't get the codes read because it's 12 am haha just trying to see what I'm up against and I don't really have any money. $320 goes to that car between payments and insurance. Barely have enough for gas. I only work part time and my hours are getting cut back so that's why I'm asking. Just trying to get a game plan going.

 

Short on funds? Yeah, I know what you mean, especially around this time of the year too. Get the code(s) read first! It's best to replace all of the coils at once w/ the updated ones, grey dot. However, with limited funds, replace what funds permit. If it is indeed a coil, determine if it's front or rear, they are different. I think I have an extra one here, don't remember if it's front or rear, I'll have to check, it's the newer OEM w/ the grey dot. I can let you have it for a good price, if it's what you need. Hit me up w/ a PM if interested.

 

Ok thanks! I'll get it check out sometime soon. Yeah time to step up in the world and get a big boy job lol going this weekend to get my first certification in computers. After that hopefully I can find a good paying job and I'll be able to do all the little things that pop up here and there.

 

If your not interested let me know, I would be curious to know how much for the coil?

 

Go for it because I got in the car this morning and the lights didn't come on again... Not sure what's up with the car anymore lol

 

Its an ABS sensor if the traction control and slip light are on. It happened to me on my old 01 max

 

Thanks! Ok make sense and it's weird cos sometimes it comes on and the next day it's off soso it's probably on its way out. I'll try to get that fixed soon.
