Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. My parents own a 1997 Monte Carlo LS and yesterday the "Service Engine Soon" light flashed for a few seconds then stayed solid. I was planning to drive the car through the neighborhood, so I normally start the engine by leaning into the car from the passenger side which is easier to start the air conditioner after I start the engine. I heard a weird noise then I walked around and sat down on the driver's seat. The "Service Engine Soon" light was still flashing, so I immediately powered-off the A/C. It happened so fast - I swear it felt like something was wrong with the transmission the instant I finally engaged the gear shifter in drive. I moved the car over in front of my truck and powered off the engine. Last night I started the engine and I felt better and today I checked the fluids and started the engine, sat idling for about 20 minutes with the air conditioner running - I found the owner's manual and it states that the "Service Engine Soon" light - flashing light means that there was a misfire - a misfire increases vehicle emissions and may damage emission control system. "Service Engine Soon" light - steady light means the emission control system malfunction has been detected, you may be able to correct the malfunction - here is the rub for me -"Did you drive through a deep puddle of water? The electrical system may be wet. NO I did not drive through a puddle of water, but I used the garden hose to spray and clear all the vegetation debris left mainly by the Crepe & Myrtle tree. I really doused that grill that houses the windshield wipers with the garden hose! I pray that this is the cause for triggering the light - all I may need to do is let the electrical system dry out and a few driving trips with the fuel cap properly closed should turn the light off. I plan to top off the gas tank because I haven't bought gas since 2 months ago - I don't get to drive a lot!
Thanks for your video. I foolishly allowed my service reminder too long before resetting it, and it ended up preventing me to start my engine. Reset the service reminder, and my engine now starts again
@raisedontiktok7038 thanks for the reassurance man, I've been devastated thinking I'm gonna be left with no car, and I'm currently on 152k 2010 nissan maxima. The code is P0868
That’s what regular maintenance does to a car, i have a 2009 Altima pushing 800k miles, i do everything by myself, even putting the rims in a new tire, i don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t last 1 million miles. What could make it not last ? The engine dies ? Metal engine doesn’t die, you replace the dead part and keep pushing, reason why most cars don’t last that long is Mechanics charge more in workmanship than the actual value of the car. A mechanic would charge $2k to replace my tranny, a used tranny costs $200 at the junkyard, i could do it myself, a non mechanically inclined person would send it to the junkyard.
My light came on and to see if it was just "a no issue moment" I disconnected the negative battery terminal for a min. or so and reconnected it. The light stayed on so I decided to make sure the computer was reset so I did it again and left it disconnected for 2 hrs. The light went out this time and stayed out. The bottom line = give it more time to reset. If there is a real issue the light will come back after driving awhile.
Thanks for the video. I wanted to find out if your Nissan was shutting down on you when driving on the road? my Nissan is having a steady service engine soon light on. And when driving, it shutdown on me. When I start the vehicle, it gives a little bit of struggle, before it start. Will appreciate if any help!
You can always check out the code with an obd2 scanner. Could also be your alternator going out on you. Had that happen to me. It would shut off while driving...I was able to turn it on after about 10 mins then drove it 5 miles and it would shut off again....could be an alternator going out but to be honest normally the car would just die outright with a bad alternator.
@@peterl6095 yea, I just changed the alternator a month ago and a new battery replaced 1 day ago. But the vehicle still shut down while driving, but restart when I started it, though with a little struggled.
@@atumf87 Check your ground wires to make sure they aren't corroded....also see what the obd2 reads....worked on a case where the alternator put out just enough watts to keep it going but sputtered when it gets overloaded with accessories.... Could also be your throttle body being dirty or a faulty mass airflow sensor....they would throw a code.
@@peterl6095 Okay, at least I wanted to get an idea before taking the vehicle to the repair shop tomorrow. In my case, Would you advise me to go to the dealer or a local repair shop ?
@@atumf87 You do what you need to do. You can go to Autozone and they can give you a read out. The dealers are expensive and alot of the shops are rip offs. The Map sensor is easy to change out and so is cleaning the throttle body.
O2 valve ??? How did you even diagnosed at the dashboard says service engine soon am I right you don't have a check engine light when you have a check engine light and you take your car to inspection the possibility is that you going to fail but you don't have to issue your issue is service engine soon how did you even come up with that diagnostic answer. Service engine soon can really be anything change your oil spark plugs your air filter your PCV valve it could be a simple tune up but it's not a check engine light issue I'm sorry but I just don't think you know what you're talkin about I apologize if I'm wrong but I don't think I'm wrong
Can you give us anymore deatails then that? when do they come on? do they flash? do they go off? is it when you first start the car? after you have been driving a while?
i think its my gas cap, i went to put gas in my car today. mind you i was just above e. it takes about 50 to fill up my tank, i put 40 in. when the pump reach 10.00 it cut the flow of fuel as if the tank was full when it wasn’t
It will come back if there is a problem, all you did was reset the computer. But sometimes dirty gas or gas with a lot of water in it will trigger trigger the O2 sensor and tell the computer something is wrong. In that case simply unplugging the cable for 60 seconds and reconnecting should solve it. Advice: If you see the pumper truck filling the tanks at your local gas station. DO NOT pull in and get gas. When they fill the tanks they stir the dirt, water and other sediments from the bottom of the tank. An you end up pumping them right into your car. Go to another gas station.
@@pup9et It was not the o2 sensor. Perhaps,the code was p0720 which was the speed output sensor. Thus,immediately I replaced the sensor all looks ok.Thanks bro!

Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

Acts 17:18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

In case it wasn't obvious to everyone, this guy has no clue what he is talking about, and this video is literal nonsense. If your Service Engine/CEL/MIL is on, DO NOT REPLACE YOUR EVAP PURGE VALVE (O2 valve???), OXYGEN SENSOR(S) OR ANYTHING ELSE until you have checked the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and identified the problem. There are literally THOUSANDS of fault conditions that will cause the warning light to come on, so it's virtually impossible to know what the problem is without reading the DTCs. Plus, it's free at most auto parts stores.

Omg thank you so much! I was wondering why my service engine soon light came on and I just had my car maintenance.
Sometimes it's just a change of oil.
Thanks for your video.
I foolishly allowed my service reminder too long before resetting it, and it ended up preventing me to start my engine.
Reset the service reminder, and my engine now starts again
I wish I had five dollars for every check engine light I scanned and cleared for small EVAP leaks lol
hes talking about the evap canister(vapor canister vent valve) next to the gas tank not the "02 valve" whatever the fuck that is.
Thanks I was wondering what he was referring to. I was googling and searching trying to find that part he was talking about.
My p5808 says low pressure transmission fluid, I think I'm screwed
You’re not , just get transmission fluid and get it drained and refilled , wouldn’t recommend complete flush if it’s after 150k miles
@raisedontiktok7038 thanks for the reassurance man, I've been devastated thinking I'm gonna be left with no car, and I'm currently on 152k 2010 nissan maxima.
The code is P0868
@@Flexus_Gs so drain and filled is different than a flush? The dealership tells me either would cause it to fail.
damn almost 300k miles
I'm almost there in an 04 Ford Expedition 4.6L engine

YES---two lights.
Thank you for explaining in detail
I think I got washer fluid in my car but my fuse blow so I can't use it
i stuck my penis in the gas tank and that shut it off.
Thanks Paul for helping
You ever change your transmission fluid on your vehicle yet?
I did a bunch of diys on changing the fluid.
Sometimes it goes off by itself
My light came on and to see if it was just "a no issue moment" I disconnected the negative battery terminal for a min. or so and reconnected it.
The light stayed on so I decided to make sure the computer was reset so I did it again and left it disconnected for 2 hrs.
The light went out this time and stayed out. The bottom line = give it more time to reset.

Is check engine light the same as service engine soon?
Hey so I have a lancer with the same issue.
Just got it today same car man
Thanks this light on my Buick LeSabre
I'm going tighten my gas cap
Why do you take forever to answer your own questions
Why do guys that know absolutely zero about vehicles and the correct name of parts put up videos that make them
EVAP Canister Vent Control (Purge) Valve
if your wondering
Its when he tries to go into that hip hop, accent that he loses concentration, when he speaks in his natural voice its easier to understand 😅
Pls help.why does all my warning lights comes on and off.thnx for those who can help
Can you give us anymore deatails then that? when do they come on? do they flash? do they go off? is it when you first start the car? after you have been driving a while?
Jack Mehoff mines come on after I been driving for awhile. Service engine soon light. I was thinking low oil
@@antoniocalhoun7816 ok, so do you know how to check your oil an fluids?
Could be bad ground connection could be relat going out.culd be the switch.do u hear a click sound or no?
You can tell this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he says 02 Valve.
Sounds like a chemistry abreviation? IDK.
So what exactly is the correct wording? Because this light came on my 2012 Maxima.
O2 valve u mean AFR sensor

Me too
Or maybe it could be your fuel pump.
@@shawnt1206 no cause it's happened already in different gas stations in my case at least
So just replace the gas cap?
