SES Problem with my 2006 Pontiac G6
V6
Check engine light
GM tech = MW, JK
question = I was driving in traffic today and my check engine light came on. My car kicks
back quite a bit but not all of the time. There were no symptoms leading up to this and
the car has not acted up since the check engine light has come on. Is it a problem that
I can fix? Is it only a computer issue? It may be time for the timing belt to be changed?
MW:
Todays GM vehicles use many sensor, switches, solenoids, and other
electrical components to control or monitor every aspect of the engine.
From controlling the fuel and ignition systems, to monitoring the emissions.
A problem in any of these systems, or subsystems, can cause the check
engine light to come on.
The first step in any diagnosis of the check engine light is to get the
computer (PCM or ECM) scanned for codes. Any time this warning comes
on, a code is stored in the computer memory along with many data
parameters that were present at the time of the fault.
By what you describe, i would have to guess the engine is misfiring. Possible spark plug,
wire, injector problem. If the above mileage is correct, this would be under warranty. So
take to any GM dealer for a scan.

Why Does My 2002 Pontiac Grand Am Blower Stay On
The blower motor comes on while the engine is off every hour or so. Runs for
about 10 seconds. Never causes a low battery situation. Doesn't seem to be
normal, but I guess it could be to prevent a/c odor...
