SOURCE: The check engine light is on, the ABS, and the

The P1700 is just a request for the check engine light, and this is caused by the U2108. The U2108 is basically telling you that the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) is not communicating with the powertrain control module, or the transmission control module.
The very first thing we must do is verify that the fuses that power the ebtcm are not blown and that they are powered. At this point I would like you to verify that the fuse labeled ABS in the fuse block is not blown and that it is powered with the key in the on position.
I would also like you to verify that the fuse labeled V1 inthe power distribution box is not burnt and that this is powered also. After this we need to move to the ebtcm to verify that you have voltage at pins 15,17,18 and that you have a ground at 19 and 16.

This would verify that the ebtcm is getting the proper voltage supplies to operate. The end result of this may possibly be a faulty ebtcm, but at this point we really need to check these items prior.Feel free to contact me with any questions at this point! Thanks!

You should have someone sing a dual trace lab scope, look at the Crank Angle Sensor (CKP) and Cam Angle Sensor (CMP) signals to check quality and sync.

Loose timing chains or broken flex plates can change the sync signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and cause a stall situation. Also you should have someone load test the battery and check the cables for corrosion. If the battery drops excessively during startup, the idle motor stepper count can be lost, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will relearn it while driving.

Clean the throttle blades and adjust minimum idle.

With the air cleaner assembly off, hold the throttle wide open and look down the throttle with a flash light. Look at the lower intake plenum gasket for leaks, oil will build up around the edges and in the corners.

Perform distributor sync adjustment. I hope this helps. tried my best.....

Gas Gauge not working and engine light on

Gas guage light coming on when you know you have enough gas indicates the fuel tank sensor is bad. If engine light is on, you have a problem, but without diagnostics, you won't know what is wrong, so stop by an Autozone, they will hook up diagnostics to determine what code and what it points to as problem.

My engine light comes on and off but it is just the symbol i had a shop look at it and reset it but it came back on nothing is wrong though

did the shop give you a code before they did the reset the check engine light comes on to let you know that something is going or went [ bad ] wrong----the light lets you know that a code [theirs a few 100 of them ] has been tripped and to seek repair ----go to an auto store most offer reading the code for free and the code will be your starting point to solving your problem

Engine light came on recently and Jiffy Lube guys did diagnostics and found nothing and turned it off and now it just came back on, malfunction or get checked?

If the check engine light came back on after the computer was reset you need to take it and have the code read to see what the problem is. Most auto parts stores will check it for you free such as Autozone, O'riely, Pep Boys.
