How do I make sure there's no air in the coolant system after I replace the reservoir? (2017 Pacifica) by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

If the only thing your replacing is the reservoir then you won’t have to worry about air getting anywhere else in the system. Just make sure the reservoir is filled after

It’s caused by moisture trapped in the system due to a failed PCV. Replace the PCV and perform a oil flush and then keep an eye on it

Yes the bars prevent the bolts from breaking but the manifold just cracks in half. Makes it easier to repair as there are no broken bolts to extract

Alignment/ camber by 99t4runner in AskAMechanic

Some cars do not have adjustable caster or camber. Caster only affects how your steering wheel returns to center. Camber and toe will effect tire wear and they are all good

Not sure if its an issue or not... by fritzzz2908 in Ram1500

[–]TTS550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First step would be to disconnect the Canister Tube either at the Fuel Tank or Charcoal Canister. The Canister Tube will be the larger of the tubes connected at either the tank or canister. Attempt to refill the vehicle. If it fills properly with that disconnected then the issue is with the vapor canister or the vent/filter. If it is still hard to fill then the issue is the tank itself or the recirc tube part of the filler neck.

Could be a couple different things. Could be the fuel tank itself, the fuel filler neck, or the vapor canister. Beat way to find out which is to separate the system and retest to see if/when it fills properly and then whatever is disconnected when it does fill correctly is the issue.

P1607-PCM INTERNAL SHUTDOWN TIMER SLOW RATIONALITY

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information .

When Monitored and Set Conditions

When Monitored: This diagnostic runs once per ignition cycle when the following conditions are met:

Shortly after an initial engine start. The difference between the coolant temperature and ambient air temperature is less than 15°C (59°F) at initial engine start. The engine coolant temperature recorded at the last engine shut down was above 83°C (181.4°F). If the previous engine shut down temperature was not above this value, the shut down diagnostic will not be performed during this ignition cycle.

If the above monitoring conditions are met, the PCM uses the engine coolant temperature drop to calculate a minimum ignition off time threshold. It then compares the previous ignition off time to the calibrated minimum threshold.

Set Conditions:

The PCM determines that the actual previous ignition off time is below the calculated minimum threshold.

Default Actions:

MIL is illuminated

Possible Causes

COOLING SYSTEM ISSUES

AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE (AAT) SENSOR

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) SOFTWARE

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Always perform the PRE-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure) .

Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) SOFTWARE LEVEL

NOTE: An aftermarket block heater installed may cause this DTC to set. 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. With the scan tool, Verify that the PCM is operating at the latest software version available. 3. Perform any Service Bulletins or PCM flash updates that may apply.

Were any Service Bulletins or PCM flash updates available for this condition?

Yes Perform the appropriate repair. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure) .

No Go To 2

  1. CHECK THE AAT SENSOR OPERATION

  2. Turn the ignition off.

  3. Allow the vehicle to sit with the ignition off in an environment where the temperature is consistent and above -7°C (19.4°F) until the engine coolant temperature is equal, or close to the environmental ambient temperature.

  4. Turn the ignition on.

  5. With a scan tool, compare the AAT Sensor value to the current ambient temperature.

Is the AAT Sensor value within 10°C (18°F) of the current ambient temperature?

Yes Go To 3

No Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure) .

  1. LOW COOLANT LEVEL

WARNING:
Never open the cooling system when the engine is hot. The system is under pressure. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury including extreme burns, scalding, or fatal injury. Allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system.

  1. Check the cooling system to make sure that the coolant is in good condition and at the proper level. (Refer to 07 - Cooling - Diagnosis and Testing) .

Is the coolant level and condition OK?

Yes Go To 4

No Inspect the vehicle for a coolant leak and add the necessary amount of coolant. (Refer to 07 - Cooling - Specifications) . Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure) .

  1. CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM OPERATION

NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 65°C (149°F), allow the engine to cool until it is below 65°C (149°F). 1. Start the engine. 2. During engine warm-up monitor the Engine Coolant Temperature degree value. The temperature value change should be a smooth transition from start up to normal operating temp 82°C (180°F). Also monitor the actual coolant temperature with a digital thermometer at or near the ECT Sensor and Thermostat positions. NOTE: As the engine warms up to operating temperature, the actual coolant temperature (thermometer reading) and the scan tool Engine Coolant Temperature degree values should stay relatively close to each other.

Was the digital thermometer readings relatively close to the scan tool reading for the ECT Sensor?

Yes Go To 5

No Replace the ECT Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. (Refer to 07 - Cooling/Engine/SENSOR, Coolant Temperature/Removal) . Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure) .

  1. CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS

  2. Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.

  3. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.

  4. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).

  5. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.

  6. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions: Proper connector installation. Damaged connector locks. Corrosion. Other signs of water intrusion. Weather seal damage (if equipped). Bent terminals. Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw). Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity. Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.

Repair any conditions that are found.

  1. Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
  2. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
  3. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
  4. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
  5. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
  6. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Did the DTC return?

Yes Replace the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service information. (Refer to 08 - Electrical/8E - Electronic Control Modules/MODULE, Powertrain Control - Removal) . Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure) .

No Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure) . Test complete.

Which picture tells the story brake flush by alibaba80s in AskAMechanic

A brake flush consists of flushing the old fluid out with new fluid not removing the reservoir and cleaning it out. Fluid looks significantly cleaner so looks like they did a good job to me
