with the key in the "on" position (not started/running) take off the NEG cable from battery and touch it to the positive terminal of the battery leaving it on there for about 5-10 mins, reconnect neg cable to battery and then start vehicle your check engine light and computer should be reset. Works for any vehicle. Good luck.
I'm not sure if the Aurora is a special type of car that requires a different way of jumping, but when u jump start most cars, you place the red end of the jumper cables on the positive/ red side of the battery and the black end on the negative. You want to make sure the jumper clamps are touching the metal part of the battery post (so if there's covers on the battery posts, move them so the cables have good connection. The same procedure is used on both cars. Be careful not to touch the end of the cables together, as doing so will make them spark if one end is connected to the running vehicle. Let your car charge a minute then try to start. If it starts, let it charge for 5-10 minutes and run/ drive your car after disconnecting to make sure the battery does not die the next time you shut it off. If it does not start after a few minutes of charging, adjust the clamps to make sure they have a good connection, wait 2-5 minutes longer & try to start your car again. *It is normal to hear the car that is jumping you idle more quietly when your car starts pulling juice from the charged battery. Also, remove jumper cables after charging, making sure not to touch the ends togther- as it will spark again. *it is not necessary to shut off the car that's jumping you before attatching the cables, or after charging. If your car still doesn't start after repeatedly adjusting cables and trying other cables to see if it is the cables not working, you may need a new battery or alternator. I would have the battery tested to see if you need a new battery before considerring the altinator.
may have IPC problem?? but FIRST disconnect 1 battery cable (either cable can be disconnected for this) and touch cables together for 10 seconds. reconnect cable and see if they operate. this is a proceedure for doing a master module reset. this will clear all modules and codes. good luck.
Try this:
> Disconnect the battery cables: Negative {black} cable first, then
Positive{red}.
> Touch and hold the metal ends of the cables together (hold together
so they make constant contact) for at least 30 seconds.
> Reconnect cables to battery: Positive first, then Negative.
> Then try entering the code.
Sometimes the radio will lock (especially if the code has been typed in
wrong several times) and this is a way to manually unlock it.
You can reset it by either an OBD II scanner (auto zone, car quest, pep boys, etc) or simply by disconnecting the battery cables from the battery posts and touching the cables together for 30 seconds... then reconnect them to the battery posts.
a service engine or check engine light. you have two choices either take it somewere to scan it for codes, or if it drives fine you can wait and see if the car does anything abnormal. if it runs fine for a while(week,month) you can reset the light by disconnecting both battery terminals from the battery . touch and hold the TERMINALS together for 10-15 seconds. MAKE SURE you do not touch the battery with the terminals. This will drain the remaining battery in the cables themselves and it clears the computer. Simply reconnect
Can't help with a problem of getting into the car, assuming the keys don't work. As for charging the battery, make sure all accessories are off in both cars, hook up the cables to the dead battery first, noting which one goes to the + cable on the battery. That same cable will go to the + terminal on the car that is running. Make the last connection the one that goes to the - terminal on the running car. Let the battery charge for 2-3 minutes and then try to start. If it doesn't start after 5 minutes, rev the engine on the jump car and that will add voltage to the connection. Try to start again after a few minutes. After you get it going, let your car run for 20 minutes to build up the battery. When disconnecting the cables, keep the ends from touching until all cables are disconnected from the batteries.
