2late4u Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) have you had it scanned for any codes? that will lead you in the right direction without throwing parts at it..... a solid warning light means you have a problem but still okay to drive it to get it fixed, a flashing warning light means to shut it off and have it towed or damage will happen to your journey...you might be able to clean it first before replacing it depends on your situation on $$ and parts available check out you tube for vidios on how to clean or replace such part but id get it scanned first for codes Edited October 10, 2022 by 2late4u John/Horace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John/Horace Posted Tuesday at 01:34 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:34 AM Always start with checking for codes. Lightning symbol is major electrical fault detected. At times it turns out to be elec throttle body. Mainly on 2.4 engines at over a 100k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
