\"2001Hi. I was traveling from California to Oklahoma, and right when I crossed the Oklahoma state line, I pushed the brakes<\/a>, and all of a sudden my powertrain light flashed and there was no power to the car for a split second. And then it immediately started driving normally. It didn’t happen again for a month. Now, I’m on my way back to California, and I went to switch off my headlights and all the needles on the gauges started going crazy. So I switched my headlights back on and once again the powertrain warning light flashed. The car lost power for a second, but then immediately went back to normal and my gauges are fine if I keep my headlights on. Any idea what my problem may be?<\/p>\n

\n

RESPONSE<\/p>\n

When the powertrain malfunction warning comes on then the engine management has detected a fault with a sensor or actuator, this will store a fault code in the engine management memory. It will be necessary to have a scan tool in order to extract the engine trouble codes<\/a> from your vehicle. Just about any local auto parts store will do this for free. Post the codes below in the comments for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
