kaz98gt Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 has it occured since? when/if the light kicks on again, do your best to try and pull any sort of a code. proscan is what i've got; it goes through EVERYTHING I love that software. and what was said below me is a great idea...could be as simple as that. you posted about 2 seconds after be dude haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwolson2 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 maybe a short/loose wire, have had that happen with many cars I've worked on in the past... try the wiggle test, as dumb as it sounds, I have pin pointed tons of problems that way...

daddywagon Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 i used the gynesis scanner we have at work. and it has no codes present not even history codes. thats why im stumped. im wondering if it has mainly to do with the a/c system. it only does it after using the a/c for a couple days, which i had to do because i had my 3 year old in the car and its in the triple digits in oklahoma. if i dont use the a\c i dont have a problem.

subikid90 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 The code isn't a normal code. The scanner my dad has at work has it listed under abs/airbag codes, I think this is common among other high end scanners. I had this with my white LGT and my abs worked find but the light went on a off all the time. Counldnt find a pattern to it. I never cared to fix it but I read it is either a lose wire like mentioned or dirty sensor. The A/C deal is really weird though. Maybe a coincidence. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
