Description of the problem | I was driving home from work and the steering wheel started shaking and then the traction light came on. Before i could pull into a gas station the vehicle shut off on me. I turned the key and the car would not turnover. I had the vehicle towed to my house for the night and then to my mechanic the next morning. He could not diagnose the problem and that's when i had it towed to the dealer. It took them 2-3 days to diagnose the problem. What they found was a problem with the electrical system. This is how they stated it on the invoice: 29303 no start p0688 asd circuit fault, found fuse m19 blown- replaced and attempted to start- fuse blew again. Traced asd circuit. Found ignition coil #5 melted. Tested further, found #5 spark plugs fouled and circuit k16 shorted to ground. Replaced spark plugs, ignition insufficient ionization fault set dia as a pcm with internal driver fault caused by short, replaced and programmed pcm. This of course happened 5 days after my warranty expired, granted i did not even have 30,000 miles on the vehicle at the time. |
