The USB port/reader is not recognizing any flash memory that it once recognized. I recently had my Navigation unit replaced. Could this be the problem? I am not getting any error messages or anything that would indicate that there is a flash drive inserted. Both of my flash drives (filled with mp3s) use to work in the USB port. I have tested the drives on other devices and they are still functional.
View 5 RepliesMy car today suddenly will not "beep", nor will the lights flash, when I double-click to lock with the smart key. The smart key itself is fine, as it locks and unlocks properly. I know many people find the beep a nuisance, but I like it.
I just had my windshield replaced two days ago. Could this be the cause? Is it something I can fix myself, or will I need to take it into the shop? I'm hoping I can just quickly re-connect something that became unconnected during windshield replacement.
While driving, the TCS light will flash and the car stops accelerating. Dry pavement, no bumps. I have to pull over to the side of the road, and shut the car off and restart, or wait a few minutes for it to stop having a fit.
I really don't feel save driving this car due to this issue. Is there a specific sensor that can be changed out or is this tied into the ABS and possibly individual wheel sensors.
I have a 2014 Elantra, today it would not start, only loud clicking noise and lights flash. I moved gear shift to neutral same results, moved back into park same results. Do not think its a battery issue.

View 9 RepliesMy 2005 Elentra GLS, when I use the key remote control and hit the alarm activation button, the alarm goes off and lights flash. And I haven't even opened a door on the vehicle. I am not using the alarm function because of this issue. Is this something I can troubleshoot. Just purchased the car used from a used car dealer.

View 7 RepliesMy headlights are like a dying flashlight. I recently attempted to plug in LED lights and tapped into the parking light directly above the high beams. This caused my pass HID to not work, which then I put both stock bulbs in. Both headlights are on now but at a super low brightness. Any clues on what I should check? There are no warning lights on . All lights function as should just not enough power going to the headlights.

I have reformatted to make sure it is fat32 format. My ipad works with my music files, why won't the USB read my music. It is the same music on the ipad.
View 5 RepliesHow to go about turning off the signal flash when unlocking the vehicle? I grab the door and the signal flashes twice indicating unlocked, I do not like announcing to my neighbours every time I unlocked my car. My dealership tells me they do not know how? I was hoping there is a series of buttons to press or something like that. I have a 2012 base model (one).
View 1 RepliesThere's no beep or flashing parking lights when I lock my doors on my 2011 Prius 2 when using the remote or the door handle sensor. I still get the 2 beeps/light flashes when I unlock. The lock beep was working fine and then just stopped. The doors still lock fine with the remote or handle sensor, just no beep/flash.
View 4 RepliesThis morning I got a yellow warning light flash for a few seconds and then turn solid after driving on the highway for a few minutes. It looks this: (_!_). It is located on the right of the dash display. I just changed my oil and put on winter tires myself two days ago. I hope it isn't related to my maintenance.

View 7 RepliesMe and the wife got in the ole '97 1.8. After may be 5 mins or so, I noticed the CEL was on.
I've only ever seen the CEL light on once, and it was b/c the gas cap was loose.
The car ran fine, nothing out of the ordinary. After getting home, I plugged in the dusty OBD reader thingy and it spit out a code, I can't remember. P401 or something like that. EGR emission low?
It appeared that my EGR valve is all cruddy with carbon deposits. So Is removal/cleaning terribly difficult? I'm thinking some carb cleaner and maybe a scraper would do the trick.
2000 Honda Odyssey - CEL came on a couple of days ago and I took it to get the code read. The reader says it can't link up with the ecu. Tried the same reader on another car and it worked fine. The transmission was rebuilt last year (about 9 mo. ago) and I'm concerned that something was not hooked up right during the rebuild. Is this a possibility for the non-linking of the reader to the ecu? Also, last year, before the tranny rebuild, I had a reader hooked up to the ecu and it worked fine.
As a side note, the TCS light comes on sometimes after starting the car and won't turn off. If I restart the car it will turn off and work properly. I imagine this is related, but not sure since I can't read the code for the CEL.
I was playing with my obd reader today and came across 2 pending codes both C0700.
View 5 RepliesMy 2015 GTI SE PP 6-speed is 7 months old with only 4000 miles on it. I took her out for a drive on twisting, changing-elevation roads near my house this past Sunday when it was 100 degrees out. My AC was blowing full-force and I was driving moderately hard up a twisty hill at 35 miles an hour in 2nd gear when the EPC light came on and the power was cut noticeably, as it went into limp mode. I pulled over, shut her down and restarted. The EPC light went away, the power came back and I have had no further issues. I only have an OBD II reader, not VAGCOM, and the OBD II didn't read any fault at all.
How concerned should I be about this episode and secondly, what can I look for in case there's a reasonably simple physical issue (like a leaking hose or loose sensor plug) that I can rectify instead of taking it to the dealer (it is under warranty, but my closest dealer does not engender confidence- they treat you like you're a problem when you walk in the door)?
This is my first car with tons of electronics and I'm a little concerned that the EPC issue could get ahead of me. I'm a good wrench, but this is something the ECU is dealing with and I'm not very clear on how to proceed.
