![]() (Both this and the coolant issue predate the deer incident). Ever hear of anything like that?Ī while back I whacked into a baby deer and although there was no damage to the car, this happens a bit more frequently since. Although the noise sounds like something straining or humming, which I gather could be the anti-lock motor? Never happens when a mechanic looks at it. Odd that, I've always assumed there was some sort of sensor malfunction there, perhaps intermitant. The only code that ever registers is that the wheel has slipped, like when it spins on gravel, but of course that is not the case. The Coolant Level Sensor is responsible for measuring the coolant level of the vehicles engine and provides warning if coolant levels become dangerously low. We also have Repair Guides for your vehicle, simply follow the link below and enter your vehicles year, make, model, and engine to find the info you need to do. When this happens the ANTI LOCK, TRAC OFF and SERVICE VEHILE SOON (not check engine) lights all come on at once, but go off again when the vehicle is restarted. Occasionally the car makes a small groaning noise when braking at very slow speed. I've had the brakes checked several times and they tell me they are fine. I'll take care of the coolant light issue this week coming.īy the way, another odd thing happens sometimes on this same Buick. Tried to give you one, but I have oly 0.1 points thus far. I gather you have to build up some points before you can leave a feedback, I will when I can. Do you think that would be a good course of action? Also I imagine a flush might not get all the residual oil out and the problem could possibly recur anyway. It looks to me like the input is a few inches down on the engine side of the radiator, but I'm going to pick up a manual to get the exact procedure. ![]() I thought I would have the coolant flushed somewhere else and then figure how to put a new sensor in myself. I'm sure the second mechanic assumed that it has been flushed also and they had just tried cleaning the sensor and had not replaced it. So now I have a second sensor that I had put in that is gummed up. On a recent trip it stayed on for most of the 160 miles, then went off on it's own for over over 200 miles, and no. The coolant level is in the radiator is full, the reservoir is at or above the full mark. Granted I suppose it makes no difference, but I think they should have flushed it, or at least discussed the options. Every now and then the amber Coolant Low warning light comes on in my '96 Park Avenue Ultra. Of course this left the low coolant light still on. I first replace the thermostat, then took it to autozone for the obd and it pulled the code for the coolant temp sensor. Within the last week I’ve gotten AC off due to high engine temp and the gauge stays on the cool side. Now after the fact he tells me he didn't want to have to charge me for flushing it out since it wasn't so bad that it would effect performance. My temp gauge has been fluctuating recently. It was flushed prior to the repair when he tried some sealant, but the light came back on within a few weeks, so clearly the oil was still leaking in. There is no sensor in the coolant overflow resevoir. The special coolant that it comes with was mixed with a quart or two of regular antifreeze.I have flushed it out and put in recommended anti freeze and a thermostat but the light stays on. Yeah, well I would have thought they would have automatically flushed out the coolant, but it turns out they did not. My 2002 regal ls, coolant light is on steady. I was hoping for some other codes but 300 was the only one.Thanks for your reply. I figured it was that code because of how rough it ran. Used a code reader to see what the PCM had to say and it gave code 300 which is multiple cylinder misfire. Checked the oil and it looks like it has some water in it. The sensor can go bad or even just get dirty and cause issues like you are seeing. Got it home and checked the water and it was low but not far enough for it to overheat. Then the low coolant light came on shortly after that. It’s unsafe to keep driving with an illuminated temperature light. Common reasons for an engine coolant over-temperature alert include coolant leaks, faulty cooling parts like fans or water pumps, and internal issues with the engine. Half way home it ran normal for a few seconds then started back to running rough. The engine coolant over-temperature light warns about an overheating engine. I had to get home so driving home the SES light would flash then stop flashing but stay on. The SES light was flashing so I knew something was wrong. Ran fine went inside came back out 10 minutes later and a whole bunch of condesation was coming from the tail pipes and it was running extremly rough. It ran great until yesterday evening when I let it warm up after work.
