Try getting him to check the tranny solenoid.

The info should be in your owners manual.It could be the symbol for a rear light out, or the ABS brake system.

Probably has a broken or jammed lock When you position the seat try pulling/pushing the handle instead of relying on the spring to engage the lock. If the seat frame is broken remove it for repair or replace with another seat back

Remove the same bolt off the other seat and take it to Autozone and get a new one.

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exceptions to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM or ECM,ECU), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems can and do cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms.

Logic is messed up in the computer. Try pulling the fuse in the fuse box under the driver's dash board for a couple of minutes to reset that point.

The code is for a miss on cylinder number 4. It could be from a bad spark plug, coil, injector, or mechanical problem.

Check your computer box. There may be a problem with it. Repair or change it.

Check the condition and operation of the following basic causes first:1) Spark plugs, leads and coil(s)2) Air filter3) Fuel filter and pump4) Engine oil level and condition.

Head gasket leak, white smoke is antifreeze leaking into combustion chamber, do not run it will ruin engine! replace head gasket and check heads for warp

Engine stalls cold or RPM fluctuates at idle up and down or dies near idle.

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve but always run a OBD2 fault code as well as the cleaning procedure. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control. If the above cleaning doesn't cure your issues you need to have the computer controlled automatic idle speed control system diagnosed and repaired by a dealer or electronic engine control repair shop.

Check for sparkCheck for fuel pressureCheck air filter

your front tires are out of balance

Every 5,000 miles is good enough for the engine. Transmission fluid and filter is every 60,000 miles.

what were the codes

loosen the two covers on the stearing and on your right hand side you ll find a plug,unplug it off and on your left hand side there is a screw loosen it but before you do that take your stearing wheel off thn after you can pull it off
