You should consider a scan tool but if you are going with a code reader be sure it does more than the PCM.

 

Yeah, I have a scan tool. It's just out of date.

 

Melvin. Could you answer some of the questions we have ask you ? It helps us to understand your particular problem. Then we can give you some accurate feedback.

 

I have a good one for you. ESC comes on and traction control light comes on before I even pull it out of park. 2008 Chevy HHR Lt

 

Have you even seen the previous 10 posts?
Scan tools don't go "out of date". The old programming is still good. The OBD2 codes for the HHR have not changed. For that matter, generic OBD2 codes have not changed since 1996. Some scantool makers try to extort money from unsuspecting consumers..

 

I am at work at the moment and probably won't be able to get back to you till after about 3:00 p.m. yes I have read the post but will probably have to run back through them to figure out what you're asking for.

 

I guess not.

I’m out.

 

All the bolts inside the fuse box under the hood we're loosened by about a full round. I tightened them up snug, and seems to have taken care of the problems I was having.
Thanks for all the helpful tips.

 

"Snug" is not good enough. Go to "Gorilla".

 

Just a little Leary of brittle plastic. Don't want to overdo it, and break something. Then I'd really be in a world of hurt but I appreciate it.
