Engine light on DME is my main concern?

Hi,

If it is running properly, it could be several things. Have you scanned the computer for specific codes? If you have, let me know what they are. They will help point me in the right direction.

If you haven't checked for codes, I recommend having the can-bus scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different modules on the vehicle are connected via a few wires so they can communicate with each other. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Let me know. Also, please confirm the engine size. Is it a 2.0L turbo or a 3.0L V6 turbo?

Take care,

Joe

Good morning my friend, hope all is well please see picture. This is what came up I put in the VIN number and then I hit scan. Think I did it right.

Code 3490 also came up part # 8661467.

Good afternoon, Joe, I think I was reading scan wrong this is what I got code 3490 and it also says MAP thermostat activation line disconnected.

Hi,

The code, 3490, is specific to a 12-cylinder engine. What engine do you have? Also, the pics you attached didn't show up. Could you retry?

Let me know.

Joe

Good morning, Joe, hope all is well. I have a 2.0L 4 cylinder. What is a MAP thermostat activation line. I put in the vin number before scanning instructions said that was best.

Hi,

It is a way to better enhance the engine temp control. Basically, the thermostat has the addition of a heating element and is controlled via the PCM.

See pic below.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe

Hey, my friend, thank you very much. I appreciate that I'm going to have to thermostat tomorrow.

Hi,

No problem whatsoever. I hope it helps. If you have a chance, let me know the outcome. I'm interested in knowing.

Take care,

Joe

Okay, will do. thank you

Hey, my friend, I had the thermostat and water pump changed today. The car runs great like a brand-new car with no engine light on of course. I'm going to have to drive it to make sure they don't come back on. I was trying to go see if I could figure it out on my own. I need a vehicle for this Saturday. So, I had to put in the shop spend the money. But it seems to be correct.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I feel the thermostat was the issue. If it appears to be working properly now, you should be fine.

However, if anything changes, let me know and we'll get it fixed.

Take care of yourself and feel free to return anytime in the future.

Joe
