Cars & Trucks - Page 7 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support


I can answer generally for all luxury cars that have gotten old, whether they be Mercedes Benz, BMW, Cadillac, Lincoln, Acura, Infiniti, etc.
They all reach a point that they become too expensive to repair. Repairing an old luxury car is as expensive as repairing a new luxury car. As a basic example, many years ago my parents owned a Cadillac Cimarron, the cheapest Cadillac made at that time. One day, the alternator went out on it. A typical rebuilt alternator at that time cost around $65, but for that car the rebuilt alternator cost $400. The manufacturers (both cars and parts) figure that if you can afford to purchase the car, you can afford the premium repair bills. The size of the repair bills doesn't go down as the car gets older.
An owner who is trying to unload an old luxury car at a rock bottom price is looking for a sucker who doesn't realize this yet to take the money pit off his hands at a price that is higher than an automotive salvage yard will pay for it.

Hook up a scan tool and see why the light is coming on. Could be running lean at that speed because of a fuel problem. Could be that one of the sensors controlling the engine is sending a bad signal. Lots of possibilities. Weak valve springs could be causing a miss fire.

If the brake warning light is on then you may have a problem with the hydraulic system or a defective brake warning switch. Make sure that the emergency brake is fully released. Make sure there is enough fluid in the master cylinder.

The code means the EBCM (electronic brake control module) is receiving faulty data from other modules or is faulty itself. If you are asking what has failed, IDK. This issue requires diagnostics. If you want to. Write back with Year Make and Model. I suspect this is a GM vehicle. Please let me know if there is anything else.
