does SES light come on for 60k service?
my car has 59,6xx miles on it. about 300 miles ago the SES came on, i pulled the code, 0505, nothing wrong. reset ECU, another 100 miles later the SES came on, pull the code, 0505 again. reset ecu and then it came on 2 days ago after another 100 miles drive. do you guys know if it could be a reminder for 60k service? am i pulling the code wrong?? what it could it be?
Yeah if you keep getting the 0505 (ghost code - means nothing) I would just bring it to autozone, advance auto, or a place that has an OBD-II code reading computer. Its free and they tell you exactly what the codes are and what the problem is.
0305
Diagnostic Trouble Code 0305 points to a problem with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Temperature Sensor. This sensor is a thermistor (a resistor with a value which varies inversely with temperature). The EGRTS is used by the Engine Control Module to test the EGR system operation. Since the signal from the EGRTS is not used for engine operation your car should run perfectly well despite having the Check Engine Light on.
Possible causes of DTC 0305 include ...
- harness or connectors (The EGRTS circuit is open or shorted)
- bad EGRTS
- malfunction elsewhere in the EGR system
The EGRTS may be tested with an ohmmeter.
- at "D" degrees F the resistance should "R" (in Megohms) should be ...
D = 32, R = 0.68-1.11
D = 122, R = 0.09-0.12
D = 212, R = 0.017-0.024
0704
Diagnostic Trouble Code 0704 points to a problem with the Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor. The EVAPCSPS is installed in the purge line. The sensor detects the pressure inside the purge line and sends a signal to the Engine Control Module. The signal voltage is directly proportional to pressure. The EVAPCSPS is not directly used to control engine operating parameters. It is used only to evaluate EVAP performance. Therefore a car with DTC 0704 should start and run normally.
The EVAPCSPS is located on the underside of the car near the left rear wheel. It is mounted near, but not directly on, the EVAP canister.
This malfunction is detected when the EVAPCSPS sends an out-of-range voltage signal to the Engine Control Module.
Possible causes include...
- harness or connectors (The EVAPCSPS circuit is open or shorted.)
- bad EVAPCSPS
- EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve is stuck open
- rubber hose connected to EVAPCSPS is clogged, bent, kinked, disconnected, or improperly connected
- EVAP Canister is damaged or saturated with water
- rubber hose from EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve to the water separator
- EVAP Canister Purge Volume Control Solenoid Valve
