the 40 % is your oil life for change interval, so, you have 40 % of the time .remaining till next change . you can reset it after your next oil change.

the oil level low is a sensor in the case - they are not related. I had a oil level low also, went away after oil change.

the dash light show is ...

sorry, no. But it happened to me on my 2000, but went away.
since it started after a new battery, that would be a good starting point.

I never use the acc. pos. terminal under hood - I go directly to the battery


So how long if you had to say, did it go away after you did that, by disconnecting ...

Thank you for your response. But I’m just curious why would this cause any ideas? I will try tonight.

It's not the sole component used to regulate cabin temperature but works in conjunction with thermistors (temp sensors) in several of the ducts. Cadmium sulfide photo cells under the dome determine the level of light shining onto the vehicle. Ultimately, it controls whether the daytime running ...

Hello -

Looking for help or trying to understand why on my instrument panel my antilock, Emergency Brake, And Trac off Lights on the instrument panel keep staying on after I recently replaced a dead battery.how can I fix this as when I jumped the car before replacing the battery it did not happen ...

So after 7+ months, I still cannot drive the vehicle in daylight (sunny days) without the headlights coming on completley with parking lights/tail lights on as well and staying on. The auto temp sensor works perfectly fine with whatever temp I set it to. I have even shined a bright light onto the ...

Thank you!

I followed the instructions on how to post a pic through Imgur to the "t" and when I go to preview it just shows a little pic with a question mark. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

There have been the occasional reports of these sensors failing, but few and far between. As for the wipers, GM believes that if they are on for more that six seconds, a poor visibility condition may exist and the vehicle automatically turns on your park and headlights. This operation is by design ...

Make sure your wiper lever is in the off position. If it is inadvertently on, all the exterior lights will come on after six seconds.

Wipers are off and not moving at all. It's odd, I will do some more investigating today seeing if something is actually obstructed the sensor as well. Are these ...

Yes sir, if you have automatic climate control in your SE, the sensor controls the air temp depending on the angle of the sun. It also tells the car when to turn the lights on.

For the 2000 SSEI I just picked up, it seems the sensor is either unplugged or faulty as the lights are on even on a ...

Vehicle was clean /owned and maintained and serviced by the owner who owns a shop, All parts Ac/delco or Delphi. Got it for 2700. Thanks again for you input and I will post a few add.l questions in their respective topics.

Thank you guys for your input. I’m not too concerned of the bubbling or other cosmetic blemishes as I am to the SC, and other more costly repairs as mentioned above. I will be hoping to meet the seller this week to test drive and make a decision. Do you guys believe the price is a fair price that is ...

Hello Everyone-

I'm looking for advice on possibly purchasing a 00' SSEI that has 122k on it. It's a two owner car with the current owner having owned it since 11k on it. The car does have it's bumps and bruises that would come with it, but some of the recent maintenance done on the vehicle in the ...

Hello -

I too have a similar problem as 2000_SSEi has mentioned with my 2003 SLE with 140k miles, however my situation is after the car has been driven for awhile with a warm motor, it will either start and then stall or it will not start at all until after 5+ seconds and I would need to give it ...

Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond on this matter. I took the approach with the Scotch Brite Pad and it seems to have eliminated the message from appearing in the DIC. If it persists, I will troubleshoot the other methods/suggestions you all mentioned as well.. Have a wonderful ...

Hello All.

I have 2003 SLE and recently have received the above message (check gas cap) in my D.I.C. Which I have and ensured that it was tight and past the normal three "clicks" it needs. Is there a reason for this message To reappear after a cold start? I live in the Windy City so I don't know if ...

I have a 97' Bonneville with Cd/Equalizer Radio with steering wheel controls. A few questions I had regarding this is

1) if the illumination goes out on the actual button, is that something that can easily be replaced/bought; and if so does it require removing the steering wheel to do so?

2) The ...

The trouble with doing this job is that you have to disable the airbag, so you don't hurt yourself and/or make the task much more expensive.
You should find this writeup very helpful to gauge whether or not you have the tools and skills for the task BUT some of the steps are wrong, as it was a non ...

I've already pulled the fuse for the time being. I was just hoping for another type of temp. fix. I am going to see if a friend and I can replace the part ourselves, before going to my mechanic who does side jobs.
