cegarbage Posted November 11, 2014 at 02:06 AM Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 at 02:06 AM I have had my car a whole 2 weeks. I went to wash it yesterday and notice someone with a white car hit mine. My brand new black car has white paint and scratches near the passenger tire. The tire is fine, it looks like about $1,100 in damage.Over the past two days, i've started my car twice and the service engine soon light stays on. It does not let me take the car out of park. I had to start and re-start and it goes away and drives normal I have a hard time thinking these two issues are related. My car was probably hit the evening of November 7, but it could have been anywhere between November 2 and November 9. The service engine light came on November 9 and November 10. Anyone get a service engine light at such a young age? My 2015 FFE has 700 miles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedebi Posted November 12, 2014 at 06:39 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 at 06:39 PM (edited) Go into the maintenace mode on the left screen and read out the codes that are showing. EDIT: Sorry, I meant Engineering Test Mode. Hold the left OK button while pressing the ON button. The left screen will enter a mode where you can scroll up and down. One of the screens shows error codes. Edited November 12, 2014 at 06:41 PM by stevedebi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also have the codes read at most auto parts stores. Running a VHR (Vehicle Health Report) can also help pinpoint the issue.

blars Posted November 12, 2014 at 09:12 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 at 09:12 PM Mine had the check engine light on at 550 miles...I think it was TSB 12-17-13 that fixed it? Something like that...I know it was a december 2013 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cegarbage Posted November 13, 2014 at 03:01 AM Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 at 03:01 AM I have a reader for my 2003 Pontiac Vibe. Will this work for the FFE? Is there any difference between using a reader and going into maintenance mode? I plugged my reader in after it occurred the second time and saw no error codes. I took it in for service today They said no error codes appeared and they reprogramed my PCM. I do have my doubts to the quality of the work performed, because I could tell the person that took my car on a test drive drove the car erratically by the yellow colors on the dash and my driving score that appeared on the web. I'm going to wait a few days to see if the issue comes back. Regardless, the service manager will be getting a phone call from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A code is a code, no matter how you read it. Honestly, I'd rather have the technician vary the inputs widely like you describe rather than just baby it. Unless it was a V8 Mustang. Then I'd want to do the driving! :shift: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, and you intend to use it for monitoring the driving, you need to set it to know you are monitoring a hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it still on when you plugged in your reader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cegarbage Posted November 15, 2014 at 05:30 PM Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 at 05:30 PM The Check Engine only came on when I started my car a few times. I could restart it and it would turn off immediately.Since they did the software upgrade, I notice the check engine flashes away a lot quicker than before. It used to always appear, then disappear (outside of the 3 times it stayed on). Now it pretty much doesn't even flicker on during startup. I have a MaxiScan MS300. Would this find error codes for my car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
