Ses light on say - 1457

The ses lite needs voltage and ground. Voltage goes hot when you turn the key on. The computer controls the ground circuit. I can't rule out, your instrument cluster may have a problem? The ground circuit could be shorted to ground before it reaches the computer. Or the computer has a problem? Just my opinion.

If the code is back that problem that the PCM detected is still ongoing. Please watch the Youtube video at the link.

Here we go.... just pulled out our service ticket:

Soooo interesting, I had never looked at these before:

So on 1/10/2005 we took the Vue in, and they did the following:
date: 1/10/2005
"CUSTOMER STATES THE SES LIGHT IS ON"
CAUSE: UNKNOWN
TECH COMM: SES LIGHT IS ON. FOUND FUEL TRIM LEAN CODE P0171 & P0174. RETORQUE INTAKE VACUUM CHAMBER BOLTS AND INSTALL VACUUM CHAMBER SPRINGS PER BULLETIN02/06/01/016A

REPAIR 1: INLET AIR CONTROL VACUUM RESERVOIR - REPLACE


Then, evidently it came back on a week later:

date 1/17/2005:

LINE1: "CUSTOMER STATES THE SES LIGHT IS ON"
CAUSE: OPEN
TECH COMM: SES LIGHT IS ON.
FOUND CODE P0171 FUEL TRIM LEAN B1 CODE P0174
FOUDN MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR FAILED REPLACED MAF SENSOR


...

The problem NEVER came back..

There's my experience. Good luck!

The light on the dash, should do a bulb check when you first start the car. (bulb should illuminate for 3 seconds) after that the light will go out. then if there is a code in the computer it will come right back on . bulb could be burned out. a po 1457 is a evap code which is fumes or fuel vapores from the fuel tank .these fumes go through vacuum lines from the tank, back to the vacuum canister under the hood. then these vapors are purged to the engine to be burned with the fuel. you need to check all vacuum hoses going from the tank ,to the charcoal canister (vacuum canister) this is most cases about the size of a coffee can .around the front of the engine compartment. black plastic. with vacuum lines going to it. if there is a vacuum hose cracked, or off .it would cause a po 1457. service manual says- evaporative emissions ( evap) control system leakage (evap canister system) this problem is hard to repair eve for the skilled tech good luck

you need to check the codes, if the ses light was on it will have a code, after you get the code get back with me and we will see if we can get to the bottom of your problem.

See or call your local auto parts store such as AutoZone or O'Reillys for the trouble code definition. Also, make sure your gas cap is really secure, and I mean tight.

1457 is a leak in the charcoal canister or its plumbing system. my money says its in your plumbing. clogged/disconnected lines.

really though, the 1457, could be anything in your evap emmissions system. canister purge solenoid, 2 way bypass valve, fuel tank pressure sensor, canister vent shut valve, alot of rubber hoses, alot of hard plastic lines, evap canister, etc,etc,ect,etc.blah, blah,blah.

a good DIGITAL multimeter and vacuum pump will ease your pinpointing.

im not sure if haynes or helms carry the info on troubleshooting this problem, but, if they do, it'll be good as a reference map.

PS: my problem was with the two way valve.

the ses light might just be a speed sensor in the hub, and the wrench means service engine.

I had a similar problem. I took it to a near by auto zone and asked them if they could hook up their scanner to the computer and clear the ses light. The light was reset and that fixed the problem. You might want to try this since they do it for free. Hope this helps.
