Check your owners manual for a description of icon. May indicate some type of specific service is suggested. The Amber lite is usually an alert. Red lite would indicate repair needed. Once you understand description if you need more assistance, please refine your question. Every bit of info is helpful.

SOURCE: wrench lights comes on the the truck runs rough

Check your transmission fluid level also see if it smells burnt, meanwhile if it idles normally when it's tuned on and the problem happens completely random it's time for a tune-up. It wouldn't be beyond reason to add some STP to your tank the next time you fuel up. Alternate causes would be failure of an oxygen sensor. Also if you have been driving with a low fuel tank your fuel pump could be going out as well.

SOURCE: truck will not idle

This has a idle air controll motor located on top of the engine in the intake manifold should take a 8mm socket to remove. You can spray brake clean inside after it is removed to clean sometimes this goes bad. Symtoms also include idle up and down. Also if it just shuts off it could be your ingition module bolted to your distrubter 5.5mm socket to remove.

Tire pressure light is on ,how do I reset,lost my reset pages from manuel.

The tire pressure
monitor system can be reset two ways. With the ignition position at ON, pull the interior lamps control to the ON and OFF settings three times. It can also be reset through the radio using the
following steps:
1. Turn the ignition to ACC or ON and turn the radio off.
2. Press and hold the TUNE DlSP button on the radio for at least five seconds until SETTINGS is displayed.
3. Press the SEEK SCAN up or down arrow to scroll through the main menu.
4. Scroll until TIRE MON appears on the display.
5. Press the 1 PREV or 2 NEXT button to enter the submenu. RESET will be displayed.
6. Press the TUNE DlSP button to reset. A chime will be heard to verify the new setting and DONE will be displayed for one second.
7. Once the monitor has been reset, scroll until EXIT appears on the display.
8. Press the TUNE DlSP button to exit programming. A chime will be heard to verify exit.

The system completes the calibration process during
driving. The system normally takes 15 to 20 minutes of driving
in each of three speed ranges to "learn" tire pressures. The speed ranges are 15 to 40 mph (25 to 65 km/h), 40 to 65 mph (65 to 105 km/h) and above 65 mph (105 km/h). When learning is complete, the system will alert you after two to eight minutes if a tire is 12 psi (83 kPa) different from the other three tires. Detection thresholds may be higher and detection times may
be longer on rough roads, curves and at high speeds. The system is not capable of detection at speeds greater than 70 mph (110 km/h).

Speedometer doesn't work and car occasionally overheats

u need a vehicle speed sensor(vss) it is located on top of the trans about 60-70 dollars for the part and 10 minutes to install go online and find the vehicle speed sensor location for ur car there is only 1 bolt to remove it u will need a 10 mm wrench and there is one connector but always check the basics first check all of ur fuses with test light or with car off pull each fuse and check to see if there blown if u see a burn or break inside the fuse it is bad replace it. but i'm sure it's the vss. as for overheating check coolant level start car let it get warm/operating temp with the hood up watch to see if the cooloing fan comes on (make sure ac is off because when the ac is turned on there is a seperate fan that will run constently untill ac is turned off.) the cooling fan will come on for 15-30 secs and go off if operating normally if the fan does not come on which happens to all cars like i said check fuses and switch cooloing fan relays to see if it comes on try spining the fan by hand with car off and no key in the ignition u may feel the fan is locked up or damaged

2003 saturn vue service light on with wrench how do I reset

Open the hood. You will notice there is a large black box on the right-hand side directly behind the battery. This black box is the fuse box. Pull the top of the fuse box off. There are two clips on either side; once you pop one side, the other comes off very easily. In the top left-hand side of the fuse box where all the fuses sit, you will see a large orange/red block. Below this block is a button that says "reset." Press this button for 5 seconds. Turn the car on and wait for a minute. If the light does not go on, turn off the car and set the key to ACC on the key ring. Push the reset button again, holding it for a total of 15 seconds. Turn the key to off, take out the key, return the key and start the car again. Allow the car to run for 2 full minutes. It is taking the system a few minutes to register that this button has been pressed.

1997 Lincoln Continental Suspension Conversion Problem

It could be a wheel speed sensor that went out or something... When working with the wiring, something could have just gotten crossed or tapped to get these codes as well. The compressor shouldnt be running anymore if everything was tied off properly. Take it in somewhere and have the codes cleared and that should fix the problem hopefully. I know AutoZone has a reader, but I do not know if they have they ability to clear the codes.
I hope this helps.
