Once the CEL has set, it remains lit until the problem that set it is resolved and the light reset using a OBD Scantool. Certain intermittent issue can cause the light to go on and off on occasion, but most faults, once set, remain until reset by the scantool. If the fault is still present after resetting the light, it will set again as soon as the system detects the failure.

Abs light on 2001 bonniville

Pontiac bills the Bonneville as "Luxury with Attitude." That's an accurate description, given its basis on Cadillac's Seville platform and available 240-horse supercharged V6 engine. If traditional Pontiac styling twists your crank, and you want a large sedan packed with performance and features, the Bonneville is your kind of ride.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a 2001 automatic pontiac bonneville ssei supercharge and the check engine light came on and I checked fluids and transmission fluid is in my antifreeze what is my problem

A lot of automatic cars use the radiator for cooling the ****** fluid. It's possible that you have a hole inside the endtanks on the radiator, that is allowing the fluid to mix.

Read the description, you'll see the sizes for the transmission oil cooler connections mentioned.

usually when the check engine light is flashing it indicates that you need to tune it up. I would replace the plugs and wires. Do it one at a time so you don't forget firing order. Leave comment

I have a 2000 Bonneville - I had a problem with the car stalling out - then it did not want to start back up. (When it did it would idle up and down and then die) I changed out the mass air flow sensor - now I have not had a problem. Good luck with it.

I have a 2001 Bonneville Service engine light

Hi:
not many codes will turn the light on and off, but the only way to know for sure is to get your codes scanned . Most auto parts stores will do this for free. THey will tell you what codes have tripped, even if the light isn't on any more. THis way you can have an idea as to what caused your light. Often it is a cylinder misfire or something similar.
