Check Engine Light

Took car to my reliable mech juzijuzi.

After a road trip, nikascratch bumps mbili socket chini ya gari ikatokana (I don’t know what it is for), I did not have the components to reconnect it. Nikarudishia gari mekanika, yeye hatambui electricals, just mechanical stuff…she followed the cable inafika somewhere near exhaust halafu it disappears. It was not affecting anything with the vehicle so nikaona maybe ni wiring ilifanywa na previous owner which is inconsequential.

Fastforward juzijuzi, kwa dashboard nimeona ile light ya Engine (ECU). Considering the car came from diagnostics na servicing immediately before roadtrip, what could be wrong? Ama ni sensor tied to that wiring imechapa nilenge hadi next servicing?

Usilenge any, just visit a competent mechanic…you dont want your car breaking down kwa jam at 6Am on a Friday morning ukienda job.

Boss the only shida nimeweka hapa ni socket…petrol and tyres are consumables, ama zako ni kama ambition ya Rao kuwa president, haziishangi?

Speculation mingi wacha…, pelekea gari bespoke mechs only

Nimepeleka on advise of the village. Bespoke mechanic ni mgani?

We are in 2017 for ferks sake not 1945.

@introvert haukuweka kwa lexicon?

Yes, I did ask that. Because I have never met one in this country. Your assumption that my comment was mysoginistic says a lot about your train of thought. I’m responsible of what I asked, not how you understood it. For fucks sake. Sir.

Nitaangalia hio thread

Hehehe.
Diagnostics siku hizi is relatively cheap. A quick plug in will zero in on which sensors are out of whack.
Wire mi huona sana sana kwa exhaust ni ya oxy sensor.

Ameweka kidude inawaka light ya blue kadogo inarusha info kwa simu yake via bluetooth… code ilisema shida ni oxygwn sensor kwa exhaust - the disconnected wire has been soldiered back in place, musking tape na clips kushikilia sawasawa.

Bas. Lipa yeye.
Masking tape ni ile ya karatasi. I think you mean insulating tape.
