Why is my car giving an incorrect error?

On Elderado 2001 problem AC off indicator. so far we pulled terminal off on battery for 5 minutes to reset the computer then we loaded more refirigerent. then the presure relief valve opened and released the excess presure. then after time the ac turned off again and the computer no longer gave error of the ac refrigerant low. but the dash board still complained ac refrig low / ac off. at this point we have no cold air. the compressor never comes on. so we pulled terminal off battery again,, the computer only left ac on for short time, then the compressor goes off again

Check or replace the pressure switch on the ac dryer. It is shutting off and not allowing the compressor to run. This based on the system having the right amount of R134A.

SOURCE: 1998 cadillac deville still reads service ac system

Sounds like you have a problem with the pressure switches on the ac system. Find the aluminum lines for the ac, attached to the lines are two pressure switches plugged in to the car wiring harness. Make sure the sensors are tight into the fittings on the lines. If they are unplug them one at a time and bridge the two terminals in the plug going to the car's harness not the switch, with a jumper wire or cotter pin which ever wire turns on the ac compressor remove that switch and take it in to the auto parts store and get another one.

hope this helps you out

How far do we have to drive caravan to reset computer for inspection..

Your Dodge Grand Caravan, like all vehicles manufactured after 1996, has an on-board diagnostic system. When one of your Grand Caravan's sensors indicates that a system is not operating properly, it will trigger the vehicle's "check engine" light. Sometimes the cause of the error can be as simple as tightening a loose gas cap. In order to verify that the cause of the problem has been fixed, the computer on your Grand Caravan will need to be reset. This process is simple and takes less than 10 minutes.

How do I fix error code 8 on my astrostart RSS-5225?

Disconnect one of the battery cables from its terminal for five minutes. Reconnect the cable to the post and it should be reset and your car should start. Be sure to tighten the clamp on the cable. It is very important to have a secure cable attachment to the battery post.

Smart sheild engine immobilization

car needs to be brought to dealer possibly to be reset, or you can TRY:
1. remove BOTH battery terminals on battery for at LEAST 5 minutes, on the last 2 minutes of that, use a small piece of wire and touch the 2 terminals together { WITHOUT EITHER TOUCHING BATTERY TERMINALS [ EITHER TERMINAL WHILE THEY ARE JOINED ] !!!!}
2. this is usually called a Hard Reset, and drains all power from modules while battery is disconnected..
3. Make sure, you have the CORRECT key for vehicle, even if car came with a VALET type key, use a KNOWN good key/keyfob..
4. reconnect terminals to battery.
5. try and restart...

2007 Yukon Denali. If I sit in the car with the radio on for more than 30 minutes the battery will drain to the extent that the car will not start. I can leave the car for a week and it will start fine so...

I would have the battery tested first to be 100% that the battery isnt at fault. clean your terminals so the alternator can give it a good charge. One of the cells in the battery could be giving out.
