Re: Service engine, hill hold disabled & ESP error messages FIX

I've been driving Suzukis since 1989 and the ECU is the very last part of the car I'd suspect, they're rock solid. Seen a lot of electrical problems caused by poor connections between two wiring harnesses or a wiring harness and a component, but I've never seen a bad circuit board.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

Wow, that's 500 miles. Around 35 miles per gallon US. That's a really big number, especially for a CVT.

Re: Fuel Economy - manual transmission

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Btw, when you had this problem with your false sensors and you said that temperature, pressure was visible via odb2, was it like this that after 10-15 minutes you could also read the pressure on your car dashboard or not?

Re: Codes P0471 and P0776

You could throw a rock and hit old tech. If I were you I'd not do anything until the car was in his shop.
