First the owner Owner says--The ignition key will not turn completely into the 'off position', so if you don't disconnect the battery cable -it will go dead.
*The following warning codes are showing on a 2007 H3 that I'm looking at, it has 167k miles & 'one owner':
Any major concerns with any of these codes?
**Above the odometer the following gets displayed within a few minutes of running.=BRAKE FLUID, TRACTION FAILED, CHANGE OIL, ABS FAULT.
Also, the following icons light up on the panel ENG, ABS, IP BRAKE.
Hello Ski.dive:
About the messages in the DIC, we can assist you in some basic information, but is a MUST to have code reader and read all codes stored in differents Control modules....that being said:
-BRAKE FLUID: Normally this apper when Brake fluid level is low (I recommend directly a replacement of all the brake fluid performed by the actual owner) but you can only add a little and that would be enough (is warning still present with good level, check level sensor)
-CHANGE OIL: That is because the time and mileage of the engine oil ran more than what Oil Life system stipulates. So is easy....a Change of engine OIL and Oil Filter (Recommend always 5w30 100%synthetic (Dexos 1 homologation)). If the oil was replaced recently but the message is still present, that is because a reset of the Oil Life monituring system is not performed: Easy task (Turn key to On (not run) and press and depress throttle pedal 5 times between 3 seconds. Several bips will sound telling that system is reseted. Turn key to off position and thats all (there is another method if you want).
-TRACTION FAILED AND ABS FAULT: Those two messages together could point (almost 100% sure) to a Bad wheel speed sensor. Each sensor is located in each wheel and is super easy to replace. (First check the codes of the abs module).
Could also point to a bad Speed sensor in transfer case (in that particular scenario, the speedometer would be erratic, jumping with transmission shifting erratic too), easy to replace too. Traction failed itself could point to a bad Brake light switch in brake pedal or blown brake lights fuse.
BUT again, those two messages together would point to a bad wheel speed sensor for sure. Just check the codes and confirm everything before throwing parts on it (the most important step of any repair is a perfect diagnostics).
Hope this helps you out!
