Evening all. I'm here. Took my dad's wannabe SS to get it's OBD codes scanned.. he's got that darned ABS and traction light (SENSORS!) And then the engine code is throwing a C1223 code... cat converter code. Again, either the cat converter is plugged up, oxygen sensor is bad... none of the dash twilight lights work but the headlight switch will turn the interior dome lights on. We gotta get that all working bcz we're trying to sell that car. It's in worse shape than mine with less mileage. PO was an 18 year old punk who knew nothing about cars nor cared about their value and REALLY beat on it.

It makes me sick to my stomach... and I'm also just glad it isn't mine!!!

 

Robyn, a "C" code is chassis. A "P" code is engine/performance, which is what the cat' would be, like a P0420.
"DTC C1223 LR Wheel Speed Sensor Input Signal is 0".
Check the connection on the left rear speed sensor. Might just be a bad/corroded connection. That's your ABS/TC issue, not the cat".

From the "sticky" I made in the general tech sub-forum:

Yeah those are BOTH the codes it's throwing. LOL. Yeah.... I knew what they were I just got them confused... I'm having a really rough day today gimme a break!! I just spent $200 on the blackberry storm 2 for tmobile (It's a cmda / gsm phone that is unlockable and RIM will help me with that) because well, I'm not liking my blackberry javelin. I wanted an iphone but they are so hyped up and i hear the logic boards and digitizers break easily. The storm you just have to reset every so often. Not only that but there are a lot of free apps for the blackberry, and I wasn't about to pay almost $350 for an iphone 3gs, that does all the same crap my blackberry does. And my blackberry does picture messages. Iphones DO NOT.

 

holy chit, the MCF blog gets thrown aside anymore these days, why, to many noobs or what? come on, keep it alive, please this place wouldn't exist without it! wayne, robyn, todd, anyone around????? i might start dancing naked if nobody shows up!!!! that wouldn't be good for anyone!

 

Chris I am here and not going anywhere. We lost our biggest posters in JJ and Justin so things have quieted down. Also with the holidays people are busy with family. The blog is quieter, but it is not going anywhere.

 

Chris I'm here, it's the last three days before christmas... GIVE ME A BREAK! I'm running around like a chicken with her head cut off!!! I'm arguing with people, i still have to go to work tuesday wednesday and thursday, and saturday... and i'm sitting here freezing!

 

sorry, i wasn't being a jag, i was just a little lonely, didn't need the explanations! thanks todd and robyn. hope you get everything figured out robyn. i understand the holiday thing with people not being around that much.

 

no no chris it's cool. I'm just mad about a lot of things right now and i'm getting thrown into the middle of a situation full of drama between my best friend's little brother and this one chick who is like morbidly in love with him.... I know his type, and us fat girls aren't it... and she's whining in my best friend's ear about oh how he didn't text her back, and I'm holding my tongue for the sake of starting world war three

 

ok, but when does the drama end? text him - text her, i did, i didn't? sounds like high school all over again! geez, why do things always turn into petty crap?

 

Chris it's always that way with this chick. The rest of my friends are cool. And she's not even a real friend of mine. She's just somebody I tolerate bcz she's friends with my friend. And she's not even a true friend in my opinion. I'm a character of my own kind, there is nobody in this world just like me, I realize this. But I'm a pretty stand up person. I've been really moody lately, and feeling super lonely.
