The Enhanced Traction System warning light may come on for the following reasons:
If you turn the system off by shifting to SECOND (2) or FIRST (1), the warning light will come on and stay on. To turn the system back on, shift to THIRD (3) or AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (). See “Enhanced Traction System” in the Index.
If the Enhanced Traction System warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The warning light will come on when you set your parking brake with the engine running, and it will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If the transaxle shift lever is in any position other than FIRST (1) or SECOND (2) and the warning light stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means there’s a problem with the system.
If the traction control system is affected by an engine-related problem, the system will turn off and the warning light will come on.

There's only one evaporator core, so if you're getting cold on one side and not the other, then the blend door isn't working on the warm side. The actuator motor may be working but the door might not be moving.

My 96 century with a 3.1 v-6 gave me fits for years shooting a 171 code(running too lean) I wound up changing the fuel filter and the problem went away. If it's been a while since the filter was changed, try it.
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the transaxle output shaft, on the passenger side of the car. It will be near the inboard cv joint on the right side drive shaft.
There is one on each wheel in the bearing housing. If you are not sure which one is acting up, get a good code reader that will read ABS trouble codes.
Step 1
Purchase a replacement bulb from an auto parts department or
auto parts store. The bulb number is 4157NAK. You also can check the
parts book or ask store employee for assistance.
Step 2
Open the hood of the vehicle. The hood release handle is
located under the dash on the left side of the vehicle. Once you
discharge it, you must free the second hood release under the hood of
the vehicle in the center. Move it to the right and lift the hood.
Step 3
Locate two headlamp retainers (clamps) holding the headlamp
in place. Pull up to remove them to discharge the tabs on the assembly.
Step 4
Detach the power to the headlamp. Now you can easily remove
the assembly out of its position.
Step 5
Take off the rubber cover located in back of the turn signal
light. This will allow access to the bulb socket.
Step 6
Turn the light socket counterclockwise to remove it from the
assembly.
Step 7
Remove the old bulb by holding the bottom of it and pulling
it gently up. Replace with new bulb.
Step 8
Once you have replaced the bulb, put the light socket back in
the assembly and turn it clockwise to secure it.
Step 9
Replace the rubber covering on the back of the headlamp
assembly.
Step 10
Put the headlamp assembly back in place by sliding it in the
slot and attach the power supply.
Step 11
Replace the retainer clamps to hold the headlight assembly in
place and close the hood of the vehicle.
Some radiators don't have a drain. You don't want to use it even in you have one. They always break when you try to close them. Remove the lower radiator hose instead

when you turn on the ac, make sure compressor clutch is engaged, under the hood. Is the ac system full of refrigerant? Any hvac trouble codes? Another thought maybe a temp door under the dash, has a problem?
Hi Gouldkareng.
Please allow me to try to help you.
There could be a number of reasons why your AC keeps blowing fuses. Some of these could be..
* An issue with your fuse box.
* The filter could be dirty.
* There could be a problem with your central power supply.
* The condenser fan might have gone bad.
* There could be low refrigerant.
* Your circuitry might be causing the problem.
* The capacitor could be malfunctioning.
The list is way too vast. You could find a whole list of problems detailed here...
