Journeygirl2015 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hey everyone, While driving around this morning car was doing fine. No issues starting and running. Went to get lunch. Got back in the car, Pushed the brake and started the car. Attempted to start but quickly shut off even though all the dash lights and gauges started working. Turned everything back off, Attempted to start again but then the car started to just continue to crank and crank and crank even though i wasn't touching the brakes or the start button. I hit the start button to stop it. Then the car started up just fine but the check engine light is now on. How can I check for codes without a code reader. I am in Dallas off 75 and forest lane and my husband has a coder reader in his truck at home. I may swing by autozone on the way home. We are taking the car in tomorrow for the U67 emissions recall that just showed up but would rather not have the dealer work on this just because of the costs.

OhareFred Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Only way to get the code is with a code reader. Stop at AutoZone, should be free. Edited August 25, 2020 by OhareFred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeygirl2015 Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Thanks, I am going to go to Autozone after work and get the codes pulled. I am hoping that it may just be the cat issue since we are taking it tomorrow for the new recall. its a 2015 2.4l SE model. No other issues and car still has plenty of power and no performance issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 side note here most part stores have quit reading codes due to the covid virus since they have to lean into the car, that is what i have been told at least. get the codes checked but have to ask how old is the battery,,,,, get it load tested to see if it is pushing correct power. journeys dont like weak batteries ..also have them check your alt at the same time if possible and report back what you find out to be your problem,for others that this might happen to them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 The AutoZone by me hands you the reader, you plug it in, it reads the codes, you take the reader back inside and they give you the printout... 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
