machine must be adapted for Russian roads.
I regret that the HHR is not certified for Russia. No formal delivery. But this car likes. In 2009 I was the first and only owner in Ekaterinburg. In 2010, the repairmen told me that the city already 4 HHR. Today there are more, I see HHR for sale in websites. And this is despite the exorbitant customs duties - about 11,000 dollars! In the U.S., this money can buy a second HHR.

The problems continue.

It looks like this:
I cleaned the connector from dirt and grease. I used dielectric grease. The signal "check" has ceased. Some time later he appeared again.
I Take out the connector (disconnect), put the connector back into place (reconnect) - signal "check" again has ceased.
This happens several times. A defect in electrical contact continues to pose a problem.
My electrician admits the possibility of guilt engine control unit. It's very sad - expensive repairs.
What do you think, guys?

If anyone else is interested ...
For a while I followed the development of this problem. After my last appearance of the situation has not worsened.
Last weekend I found a solution - a weak spot was knock sensor connector.
Careful inspection revealed corrosion. This connector is located in the bad place, road dirt and moisture are actively eating it. I cleaned the connector, put a thick layer of dielectric grease. 5 days - normal flight, "check" does not light up.
I am glad that the decision was easy and Behemoth brain functioning properly.
