2003 Buick Century-Problem with warning lights going on!?

Question

Oh my gosh! I have barely had this car for a year and checked it on vehix.com with the VIN to see what its history was. So far the darn "check engine" light has gone off, the "low tire" light and now the "change oil soon" light goes on. the engine is fine, had it checked. my husband checked all four tires according to manual and fixed it but that didnt go off until the last oil change in september which is odd because now the change oil soon light is on. i checked the oil level yesterday and it was fine. do i have a serious problem with this car or what do you think?

Answer 1

To reset the Low pressure light you must "Turn the Ignition on, with the engine OFF" then Press and Hold the RED button in the Passenger side Instrument panel Fuse box, The Low tire light will flash three times. Then turn the ignition OFF .
The Change Oil soon light is telling you it is due for an Oil change.
To reset that light,
Turnn the ignition ON with engine OFF. Press the accelerator fully 3 times within 5 seconds.
The oil change soon light should flash then stop. If Not, try this procedure again.

Answer 2

The check engine light means you have a code stored in the computer. Get it checked at Auto Zone, they will check it for free. The change oil light comes on when the computer knows that you have exceeded the expected life of the oil. You must reset this light every time you get your oil changed or it will come on when it is time. As for your tire light, it must be reset every time you have a low tire, or change tires or have them rotated. The car learns how big your tires are and where they are, it knows if anything changes and comes on. BUT some Buicks have a tire light problem and must be taken to a dealer to have the computer re flashed. Call you local dealer and ask them about this. If you have no engine problems with your car, the most common code you will get is a 440 or 442. These are common if you fill up with gas with the engine running. I see these codes a couple of times a week.

Answer 4

The absolutely free reverse vin check sites generally provide fake information. To get real information, money will have to be paid. The free searches provide fake information so they can get your email address to send spam.

Stay away from shady reverse vin check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable reverse vin check site like http://www.reversevincheck.net that has been around since 1995.

Answer 5

When you do your routine oil change or tire light comes on you need to reset the warning lights. Check your operators manual for that procedure. Good luck.

Answer 6

i might flow to an vehicle-area save like those persons stated, yet once you come across out what the errors code is, that's advisable to have the codes cleared. you're able to try this via having the vehicle-area save workers do it remotely with the code reader, or you could merely unplug your battery for roughly 60 seconds. in case you do not have the code cleared whilst that's checked, it extremely is going to stay there regardless of in case you restoration the project, till you reset the codes. good luck.
