If you counted the flashes as you are listing them then this would be a code 33, this code 33 is defined as vechile speed sensor, this is the speed sensor and is located on the transmission, checcck the connection to the sensor and if the connector and the connection is good then i would replace the sped sensor.

    Im soory this car has two speed sensors, they are listed as speed sensor #1 which is located on the trany and then theres a speed sensor #2 this sensor is located on the back of the speedometer, you will need to remove the cluster and look on the back of the speedometer and check that connection . if all looks good then you will need to replace the sensor if it available sperate from the whole speedometer or replace the cluster with a used one, but the info i gave you before is wrong the sensor you need to look at is behind the cluster, there is another one as i lsted but the code you gave me if for this one, hope this is helpful,

It is Vitara sidekick 1997 model. Water temp sensor is replaced, the fault code erased, when I start the engine and drive, every thing looks nice, but when I switch off the Ig key and start the engine next...
you can get codes with out scan tool, this is done by counting the engine light flashes, for example a long flash is the first didgt and then faster blinks would be the next number, for example long flash long flash long flash= 3 then fast flash ,fast flash, fast flash, fast flash =4 which would be code 34, to get the codes look in the engine compartment in front of the battery is the connector, you will need a small wire to jump two terminals, jump terminals with wire then turn key on and count flashes, i will give you a diagram to locate connector and it will show you which terminals to jump look at connetor closely to make sure you are jumping the correct terminals, you can turn the key off and on to restart the codes again,this may take you a few trys to get the hang of it but you can restart the codes by just turning the key off and back on, when your done just remove the jumper wire,also a diagram is enclosed to show you how the flashes go, hope this helps ,good luck.

Vdc and engine check lights both on
under dash connect together the 2 green multiplugs. The CEL light (Check Engine Light) will flash. Slow then fast. Count the slow flashes then the fast ones. I.E. code 21 will give 2 slow flashes then 1 fast = 21.

let me know the code and I will diagnose for you.

See what code is throwing the check engine light. To check the code pull back the carpeting floor on the passenger side under the dash and you should see the car's main ECU with a little window and an LED bulb flashing when the car is in the on position. You have to count the amount of flashes it gives off...the way to read is it will give slow flashes first, then fast ones. So for example it may flash once, pause, the fast 3 times...that would then mean it's throwing a code 13. Once you figure out the code and what that code is for then u can go from there. Good luck!

1995 nissan pathfinder
the check engine light may come on for several reasons. first in newer models the light is used because the fluid levels might be low. Another reason is that the ecm may have detected a fault in the sensor system because the parameters were exceeded. another reason is it could be that your fuel cap is not on tight enough. at this point it would hard for me to determine what the codes mean due to not having the manual for your vehicle. in the mean time my suggestion would be to have a full diagnostic done on the vehicle at a shop. some of those codes could be active and some might be stored and unless cleared they will remain and the light will stay on. considering your vehicle is running fine =I suspect that there not actually be a problem but the stored codes need to be reset in order for the light to go out... please rate this........thanks

Check enggine
Do a self test. Turn key to on position and back to off position 3 times. a series of flashes will commence from the "check engine" light. The first set of flashes is the 1st digit of the code, then there will be a pause, then a 2nd set of flashes, This will be the 2nd digit of the code. For example, 3 flashes, pause, 7 flashes, means code 37. Check what the code means in a Haynes auto repair manual. This will tell you what the engine light on your car means.
