We just have to laugh!

When a warning light comes on our dash, we usually freak out a little bit. This is just here to make it lighter, especially on a Friday!
Just a note, though, that when these lights come on, people like to rush to their scanners at AutoZone, or in their garage to see what it says. We field calls for these all day, everyday with someone saying "my scanner says .... so I need a price on this part replacement". No, the scanner is telling you which SYSTEM is not working, not the exact part that is failing. It is a GUIDE to help direct you in the correct area of your vehicle to look into. It is not telling you what is wrong with your car. Please see a trusted mechanic to help you so you don't pay for something and fix something you don't need nor may not even fix the actual problem on your vehicle.
The scanner literally states DO NOT replace parts based on a code. So please, find a trusted technician that can guide you to the actual problem on your vehicle.
