1997 Pontiac Grand am
2.4L 4 cylinder
check oil light
Repairs = changed the oil sending unit but did not help. So when we start the
engine back up the engine light will come back on
turn the engine off start back up and check oil light will not be on
tech = jk
JK:
Could you please tell me engine size again, it is not a 4.2l.
And are you referring to oil pressure sensor, or oil level, thanks
JK:
OK. Check oil pressure to be sure it is not an oil pressure problem, but it does not
sound like it. 1 of 3 things possibly wrong here. An intermittent open in the
indicator input wire to the pcm from the sender, brn wire terminal B at sender. A
faulty pcm. Or a faulty cluster. The pcm sees the input from the sender, and
sends a signal to cluster on the serial data line. The cluster logic deciphers all the
data on the serial data line to determine which light to light. Most likely cause is a
problem in the dash cluster.

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...

Answer: Yes, you're talking about the EVAP Vent Valve, which is
part of the emission control system on your vehicle. The P0449
code is a voltage related code for the vent valve, and it usually
means you need to replace it. It is located underneath the car,
back by the gas tank. It is attached to a bracket between the rear
axle and gas tank, closer to the right side of the vehicle. Pretty
easy to change if you can get your car up on jack stands or a lift.
There will be a large rubber hose attached to it, and one wiring
connector. Reinstall these on the new vent valve and you're
good to go. Autozone should be able to clear the code for you
once the repair has been made.
