And of course the check engine light. I have taken it to an AutoZone, and the code came back stating that the ignition area had problems. So I had the spark plugs changed, a week ago. This morning, as I was driving into work, lo the lights came on again. Oy, I'm not sure what to do next? Flush the coolant system? Take it to a mechanic to look at??
Take the car to a mechanic for a diagnosis and spend some much needed money on maintenance. With a 5 year old used car it's a fact of life. This is the time when most used cars start to require frequent maintenance and you need to be prepared financially to keep the car running or consider replacing it with something brand new.
Any mechanic with a brain knows that you have a problem with the ABS system that sets those lights together. You need an ABS scan tool...NOT the code reader for OBD II that the sales people at auto stores have. You also don't want the High School dropouts working at the fast lube oil change joints to diagnose (guess in their case) your problem. Go tot he dealer if you want this done right. I 'm making an educated guess it's going to be a bad wheel speed sensor in the left or right front.
