coolant flush throws code What DTC's is it showing? You can pick up a scanner for pretty cheap or take it to any auto part store and they should be able to scan it for free.
ETA. Is it the service engine soon or low coolant light? If it is the low coolant light then it could just be a bad sensor.

coolant flush throws code Hey guys I also posted on the newb section but kinda want to get this figured out asap.
But I did a complete coolant flush, I did take out the thermostat and reservoir. Took the battery out also. replaced the stuff needing replaced. put everything back together. but as soon as I started the car, I got a code thrown.
any help is welcomed, if you need more info just ask. also if you're in sacramento, can I barrow a code OBII (right?)reader?

SO apparently in CA providing a free service is not fair and the BAR sued the companies providing free code reading. and I don't have $50 to spend on a code reader, I just paid bills today. and its the service light. the low coolant was on but I got all the air bubble out and been refilling it after each little drive or run. But if anyone has ran into this problem until I can barrow my friends code reader after work tomorrow please help!
Well that seems stupid. Every major national parts store around me checks codes for free.
No use asking us what it could be until you figure out what code its throwing. It could possibly just be coincidence after your flush and something completely else.
I'd invest in a cheap code scanner that can also erase codes. It's been a real life saver for me.

My local Pontiac reads codes for free, as well as every single auto parts store in the state.......
****** Cali......
Anyway......call a few dealerships and try to find a service guy that isn't a complete rip-off scumbag thief.......maybe you can get the code read for free. Which takes approximately 18 seconds to complete.........

Don't do that again. One thread is good enough. I've moved the posts from the other thread back in this one to keep all the ideas together. (Both threads were in the General Maint. section)
