2006 Chevrolet Aveo LS - Page 9 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The sensor is located in the padding of the seat, you have two wires for seat belt and two wires to the sensor jumping the sensor to bypass the switch is dangrous so will give you a site that can fix it even if dealers can't. Go here and give em a call. http://www.airbagsolutions.com/contact.aspx they are the ones that build all the air bag systems and rebuild the units.

If the car has low milelege on it end is running okay,End your oil leval is up where it is suppose to be, The oil light sending unit is defective.End needs to be replaced. Hope this helps you out.

I'm not familiar with that vehicle but some newer models don't have dipsticks to check the transmisson fluid. They are sealed systems and the only wasy to check them is to remove the fill plug from the transmission itself.

GM swears the plugs will last 100k miles, yet I have had to replace them as early as 30k miles.(That was on my wife's 05 Pontiac montana.) A word of advice: Don't get the fancy aftermarket double or triple platinum plugs. I had to replace those again 5k miles later. Went back to ac delco platinums and they're still working after 50k more miles.

The AC puts allot of heat load on the engine so of course it will run hotter but not overheat the engine, if that happens you may have a clogged radiator.

USE RADIATOR FLUSH, PRESSURE HOSE ON THE RADIATOR AND RECHECK THE TEMPERATURE.

The most common reason for a humming noise in the front area of your car would be a wheel bearing noise. I would start by having the wheel bearings checked.There are two ways to check the bearings, one would be to jack wheels of the ground and check for free play in wheels, the other would require having a tech test drive the car, a good test drive by a tech can tell you if it is a wheel bearing problem. A wheel bearing noise will get louder as the speed increases and the tone will change if the wheel is turned left or right.You can try this test yourself, get car up to speed of noise and then listen as you turn wheel to left and then right and if the tone changes then i would suspect the bearing and next step is to find out which one, this would need to be done on a lift. good day

ITS A METAL FITTING THAT WOULD BE POINTING STRAIGHT UP COMING OFF OF YOUR A/C COMPRESSOR USUALLY NEAR THE RADIATOR. WHAT KIND OF CAR DO YOU HAVE?

On what make, model an year and engine size.

knock control system error. That system adjusts the spark timing so that the engine will not knock (precombustion) if it is under heavy loads, such as going uphill, or when using lower octane fuels.Yes, a timing belt slippage could cause this problem as the crankshaft and cam are no longer in sync. Could also be a bad knock sensor or broken wire.

Your talking antifreeze i asume if so its an issue with the heater core. If the heat still works good then it mabey a loose hose clamp on the out side of the fire wall witch would the best thing . If the cord is pluged it would cause this . Do you smell antifreeze with the heat on if so you likely have a hole in the heater core it self witch it needs to be replaces witch is not usely an easy job in most cases seeing that most of the dashboard needs to be removed to get at the core. However if it is a clog you may be able to clear it . You will need about 3 feet of 5/8s heater hose cut it in half so you have 2 peices about a foot and a half long . Remove the heater hoses from the out side of the fire wall and plug the short hoses on the nipples . Get a pot on pan something that will fit into the space and with a garden hose with a nozal gentley start forceing water back and forth between the two hoses and catching it in the pot not to much pressure at first and see what comes out . Then get the whole radiator system flushed and put new antifreeze in it . Antifreeze lasts about 5 years contaray to popular belive that it lasts forever and you just need to add to it. Its a 2006 do it now and it will save you later Good luck hope you don't need a new heater core

This is not a tune up your transmission is flaring. Some erratic shiftting may not set a code problem,These problem have been traced to a harness to the transmission from poor connection

I have a similar problem with my 2005 Optra 5 - daytime running lights are hit/miss. About 3-4 years ago, the alarm started activating itself - FREQUENTLY. Turns out it was corroded wires. Now this. (Take heart - my Corolla had a similar problem - bad sockets - bulbs burned out faster than they could be replaced. Toyota never did admit responsibility.)

Transport Canada Recall # 2007315 Recall Date: 2007/09/28 Notification Type: Safety Mfr System: Lights And Instruments Manufacturer Recall Number: 07240 Units Affected: 33,865 Category: Car Recall Details: Certain vehicles may experience a loss of headlamp low beam or Daytime Running Light (DRL) function as a result of a melted instrument panel harness connector. Low beam failure would lead to reduced visibility during hours of darkness. DRL failure may render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and pedestrians during daylight hours. Both cases could lead to a vehicle crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will add a direct connection splice clip to the headlamp low beam circuit in order to bypass the faulty connector.

About what year, model, etc, etc.

Best thing I know is to take it to AutoZone and have them plug in their diagnosis computer (Free) and it will tell you exactly what the problem is.

There is not cut and dry solution for this code, here are the possibility's P0132 - O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 Symptoms - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) - High Fuel Consumption - Excessive Smoke from Exhaust Possible causes - Front Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 harness is open or shorted - Front Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection - Faulty Front Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 - Inappropriate fuel pressure - Faulty fuel injectors - Intake air leaks may be faulty - Exhaust gas leaks

rich mode could be faulty oxygen sensor, faulty coolant temperature sensor, have vechicle code scan do emission test before buying new parts.

have your obd II CODES READ this will give you more of an idea what is going on with it. most auto parts stores read these codes. If you are smelling rubber check your serpitine belt for where and if it looks good take the belt loose and check the rest of the components that the serptine belt runs on altinator, water pump,powersteering pump, pully tensioner, other pullys ext.
