Got a lil problem w the HHR.

Engine light comes on the dash then throws a ESC and traction warning and engine goes to limited power and hardly runs.

Any ideas?

thanks KK4

 

Well you can take it to Advance or Autozone and have the codes pulled, post 'em up here and I'm sure as a group we'll be able to point you in some direction. I see you have an '09, are you still under warranty yet?

 

Yes still under warranty. Guess I will have it towed to the nearest dealer. 25 miles.

I will keep yoy posted

thanks KK4

 

I had the same problem this morning but didn't notice any power loss and the next time I started it up the code was gone???

 

may be cam solanoids? codes po10 & po11?

 

Dear kingkat4,

I can understand the frustration that you must be experiencing with your situation. I look forward to reading the update of your visit to the dealership.

Don't hesitate to contact me with questions and/or concerns.

Sincerely,
Michelle, Chevrolet Customer Service

 

Frustrated I guess.


Jay I havn't figured how to find codes yet but might take time 1 of these days.

I didn't dare post all that we have been through w this vehicle.

Maybe I will do a seperate post and list them ALL. I'ts a good read.

Hard to believe.

thanks KK4

 

in post # 2 as 843 said go to autozone, as I recall the factory manual has something 460 codes,

 

Yup, head to Autozone, Advance, Napa, or the auto parts store of your choosing...most if not all offer free code scans these days. Get the code/codes and you'll be much closer to knowing what's going on, and we can brainstorm on what might be wrong.

 

I and many others hav the factory manuals like 2 phone books total 40 lbs, Im sure if you get the codes someone here will have the answer.
