Services Performed
- – No work done with brake light at this time
- Lights not on at inital checkout. Code Scan: Antilock Brakes C0057
- Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) Control Interruption Because of Engine Instructions OBDII Codes ($03) P0117
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit Low Freeze frame shows engine overheat condition of 258 degrees. Found engine is low on coolant and oil. Added 2 qt oil. Added 3/4 gallon water to radiator. Right away engine oil is visible in the coolant funnel used for filling and bleeding cooling system. No coolant in oil. Upper hose and radiator cap seals are soft from oil contamination. The only way pressurized oil can get into the cooling system on this engine is from head or head gasket failure. Left cam carrier/timing cover area leaks oil pretty bad. Cooling system operating is normal with full coolant, but won't maintain pressure well with rad cap seal being distorted from oil. Needs to have head job performed, but oil consumption may be a big issue on this engine already. LOF not yet due and had none on dipstick.
