Modern car stuffed with electronics. Multiple sensors and signal lights on the instrument panel show different malfunctions. This progress did not bypass and Kaptiva. The most famous signal is lighting the "Check" function. This is a calling to the fact that there are problems in the engine or control unit.

Video will tell and show how to eliminate the engine check by car

Causes of Silvering the "Check" function

The check signal is usually located in the very center of the instrument combination, where the driver can quickly pay attention to it. This feature is responsible for the operation of the engine and if it signals, it is possible that there were problems in the operation of this particular node. Of course, for any motorist, it is scary, because the repair of the power unit is complex and expensive. But, you should not immediately scare and panicing, maybe the reason is petty.

I caught fire a check - being trouble.

So consider which the reasons for the fact that the function "Check" on the Lade Grant caught fire:

• If the indicator has worked when the engine starts, it is not necessary to worry, everything works.
• If the "check" caught fire and signal for a long time, then, first of all, it is necessary to make a diagnosis, but only then worries.
• If the "check" during movement is that it may mean that an insufficient oil level in the engine.
• The "Check" function is burning - it is worth checking the motor on signs of depressurization or oil leakage.

If the above reasons did not work, but the "check" is burning, then this may be a signal to the fact that the ignition candle has emerged or is covered with poor-quality fuel.

Safety of the "Check" functions signals that something does not work in engines to diagnose, before taking other actions.

Deciphering error codes.

Elimination methods

Consider some options for eliminating the reasons for the ignition of the function "Check" to the contest:

• Poor fuel. The elimination method is pretty simple - we drain the poor-quality fuel and pour a new one. Let me work a little, and turn it off. If everything is fine, then when starting, the signal will disappear.
• Spark plug. Unscrew everything and check the gaps, as well as the presence of spark. Replace faulty candles.
• Coil or wires. We measure resistance and presence of spark. If necessary, we all change.
• Fuel pump. One of the reasons why the check may burn. Remove the channels. Or, if necessary, change the pump itself.

These faults are specified that can be eliminated by himself, if nothing came out, it is worth contacting the car service.

Underwater rocks

If the "Check" caught fire on Chevrolet, then you should not panic. Often on cars, the signal is served from a common computer, which, like any computer can malfunction. This may be caused by a short circuit or replacement of electrical installation elements. Therefore, errors occur in the electronic control unit, which can serve as a "Check" signal.

Check on dashboard.

It is quite simple to be treated with this fault. The computer itself needs to be connected to the program laptop and correct errors in the system or change the outdated firmware. Trust this operation is best to specialists who know how to do.

Output

The causes of the emergence of the "Check" function on Chevrolet Captive are quite simple, since this sensor is responsible for the full operation of the engine. To identify reasons, it is necessary to diagnose and determine why it happened, and only then eliminate it.

Many of us have come across such a problem as the inclusion of the engine icon indication (Check Engine ...), the appearance of which scares car drivers. We offer you the 5 most common reasons for which the engine check lights up on the dashboard.

The appearance of the engine indication icon occurs, as a rule, without warning. The reason for the appearance of Check Engine cannot be immediately understood. Even if there is a car diagnostic in the car (for example, in such cars, as,), which scans all the car systems on errors and when they are presented, displays the decryption to the information panel, the causes of the engine check will not be decrypted.

For most drivers, the appearance of this warning icon on the instrument panel means the need to urgently go to the auto repair shop to diagnose and eliminate the reasons for which the warning sign "engine check" appeared. But in most cases, in most cases, when the "Check" appears, it is possible and in some cases, it is possible to eliminate the cause independently without a trip to the car service, which will save your money.

1. Replace oxygen sensor (lambda probe)

The oxygen sensor in your car is part of the exhaust exhaust system, which controls how much oxygen has not burned in the engine combustion chamber. This sensor helps to control the fuel consumption of the car. The oxygen sensor malfunction (lambda probe) means that the automotive computer receives not the correct data, which can significantly increase fuel consumption and reduce engine power. Most cars have from 2 to 4 oxygen sensors. If you have a home automotive error scanner, then you, by connecting it to the car, can easily find out what sensor must be replaced.

For whatever reason, the oxygen sensor in the car comes into disrepair: Over time, the sensor is covered with a layer of spent and engine oil (oil soot), which reduces the accuracy of the sensor indicators for adjusting the gasoline mixture and the optimal distribution. The fault of the oxygen sensor in the car leads not only to, but also to the increased content of the harmful substances of CO2 in the exhaust.

What needs to be done: If you do not change the faulty automotive oxygen sensor, then this may lead to the failure of the catalyst of your car (can burst), which will turn into expensive repairs. The cost of new catalysts is very high due to the content of precious alloys in them. On some cars, catalysts several pieces whose cost can reach up to 90,000 rubles. So do not pull with the sensor replacement. Although the sensor replacement and its cost is not very small, but it is incommensurable with the cost of the exhaust gas neutralizer system. You can also save on a replacement by making it yourself. Many auto operating manuals have detailed instructions, as you can independently replace the oxygen sensor. If you know where the oxygen sensor is located, then you will not be much difficult to disconnect the defective "lambda probe" and replace it with a new one. Remember that it is impossible to pull with the replacement of this important item!

2. Check the fuel tank neck

Many drivers in most cases, when the "engine check" appears, will think about serious problems in the car engine, but they will not even think to check the tightness of the fuel system, which can be broken due to a defect or not sufficiently tightened with a fuel tank. This is a very common cause in the appearance of the engine "Check" engine.

Cause of error appearance: The leakage of the fuel system due to air transmission, the fuel tank fuel cap will increase the fuel consumption of the car, to which the car's diagnostic system is issued an engine error by turning on the "Check Engine" indication on the instrument panel of the automotive instruments.

What needs to be done: If, when the "Check" appears, your car has not lost power, and there are no sound signs of engine damage (knock in the engine, hum, creak, etc.), then check the tightness of the gas tank. It is possible that the lid of your fuel tank has cracks or is not tightened enough. If the lid was not tightened enough, then tightening it to the end, continue the car by car for a while to watch the engine error disappear. In order to prevent the occurrence of the engine check for this reason, check the fuel tank neck cover regularly. Remember that periodically the cover must be changed for a new one!

3. Car exhaust gas catalyst

The car catalyst helps the car make the exhaust of the motor exhaust gases are more environmentally friendly. It converts carbon monoxide and other harmful substances in harmless compounds. If your exhaust exhaust catalyst has become unusable, you will notice it not only when the engine icon appears (check), but also long before that when the car's power falls 2 times. For example, when you press the gas pedal, the car, as before will not have good overclocking dynamics.

Due to which the automotive catalyst may fail: If you regularly serve your car, in accordance with the regulations, the automotive company, then the catalyst should not fail. The main reason for the failure of the catalyst is the late replacement of a faulty oxygen sensor, as well as not regular replacement of spark plugs, at the end of the expiration date. When the oxygen or spark plug sensor is faulty, then the conversion of carbon monoxide in the catalyst in harmless chemical elements is terminated, which leads to overheating of the catalyst, which due to this may fail.

What needs to be done: If your catalyst has become unusable, then you cannot ride a car, since the engine will not work correctly, warning about this indication on the dashboard of the engine icon (check). Also, you will be very much increased fuel consumption, and the engine will be missing. Although the catalyst replacement is very expensive repair, it is not where not to go from repair. Although there is an alternative to replacing the catalyst on the planeencitel, but this is not 100 percentage option. Unfortunately, if you are not an experienced car mechanic, you cannot replace the defective exhaust gases catalyst yourself. In any case, you will have to contact the car repair shop. Remember that the timely replacement of oxygen sensors and spark plugs protect your catalyst from breakdown!

4. Replace air consumption sensor

The air consumption sensor adjusts how the amount of air must be added to the gasoline mixture for optimal fuel ignition. The sensor constantly reports the car computer data on the amount of oxygen supplied. The faulty mass flow sensor increases the fuel consumption, increases the CO2 level in the exhaust gas, and also reduces the engine power and the smoothness of the stroke. Also, with a faulty sensor, there is a bad overclocking dynamics. In the cold time, the car with a faulty sensor is badly started.

What are the reasons for the failure of the mass flow sensor: Most sensors breakage occur due to improper installation of the air filter when it is planned. Also, if you do not regularly change the air filter, as required by the car maintenance regulation recommended by the manufacturer, the mass flow sensor can fail.

What needs to be done: Theoretically you can ride a broken air flow sensor for a long time (several weeks or months). But you will notice that the longer you drive, the more fuel consumption consumption increases. Replacing the sensor in the car service is not as expensive, since the work itself does not take much time and is sufficient. Basic costs are related to the cost of the sensor, which on some cars can be 11,000-14,000 rubles, if it is an original sensor or up to 6000 rubles, if an analog substitute. Independent sensor replacement is very simple. But due to the small cost of work on the replacement of the sensor, you can entrust this work and the master in the car service. Remember that you need to regularly change the air filter, observing the regulation of the car!

5. Replacing the spark plugs and high-voltage wires

Spark plugs in the car are the main details to ignite the fuel mixture. With defective ignition candles, the spark is incorrect for inflammation of the gasoline mixture. In defective candles, there is often no spark or incorrect spark interval, which affects the improper operation of the engine. With the wrong work of the candles during acceleration, especially from the scene you can feel small shoes.

What are the reasons for the failure of the spark plugs: Most of the spark plugs in cars until 1996 release must be changed every 25,000-30,000 kilometers. In newer, the ignition candles are more than 150,000 km. However, these terms of planned replacement of spark plugs may decline at the expense of various factors associated with fuel quality and driving style.

What needs to be done: If your candles did not change for a long time, or you feel in the work of the engine failures associated with the ignition, then it is necessary to immediately replace them with new ones. Do not try to save on a late replacement of spark plugs, since the cost of candles is not very expensive, as well as work to replace them. By changing the old spark plugs, you will improve the engine operation and reduce the fuel consumption of the car. Independently change the spark plugs quite easily. Mostly they are in easy accessibility under the hood of the car. You need an ordinary candle wrench to unscrew the candles from the engine. It is also desirable to monitor the state of high-voltage wires, since over time they can come into disrepair and pass electricity, which is transmitted to the ignition candles, which will reduce the spark strength. Remember that the regular replacement of the candles, in accordance with the regulatory of the maintenance of your car, retains your exhaust gas testing catalyst from breakdown, and also improves the operation of the engine!

I heard a lot of negative about the first kopeva and treated it as well, not even having experience of her driving. But when she accidentally found himself in the cabin of the second capita, it was pleasantly amazed. There were still no normal reviews and here were offered to choose a car in the area of \u200b\u200b20 tons. Euro. The second cavity in the climbing LTS + was given after long negotiations for 19,500 euros. Motor 2.4 (167 hp), 6-step automaton, 7 seats, leather, 65 liters tank, light and rain sensors, etc. Mileage for a month and a half 2,300 km. More small mileage to create a reasonable opinion about the car, but the first impression is only positive. For such money, the Japanese and Europeans class below are available. One of the cars at the firm - Rav4 2011 G.V. In the configuration of the victory (2.0, 150 hp, but more expensive for 3.5 thousand EUR. Ravid, weaker, noise, less, etc. once traveled to the CRV 2000, but I will not compare t. k. The difference of generations is huge.

While the machine is very pleased, the consumption of 13 liters per hundred in the city with air conditioning. Korean assembly, does not creak anything and does not whistle.

The adaptive box, the first thousand sooooooo strongly tupil, is now better, they promise to be even better.

Pluses a lot, many options. Ellectric parking brake is very interesting, put and removed press the buttons, but if the drive is pressed on the gas, then it will be removed. Due to the saving of space (the absence of the parking brake lever), there is a hubble pocket between the front seats (a box with whiskey is calm :)

Bluetooth allows you to play the melodies from iPhone (there is no such thing in Rave).

The exterior design is beautiful, people turn on the car, it is bad just that the trunk door was left unchanged.

Plastic is soft, in the cabin does not creak anything, but it's too early to talk about it. In Rawa, the first screensions appeared closer to 10 thousand km.

Good noise insulation and smoothness.

Cons: It is difficult to configure the cramp so that it does not beat in the driver or passenger; The light sensor is very sensitive and includes the closest early; The front bumper is too "heavy" and because of this, a small road lumen (corrected by the removal of the bumper apron)

I know that in Russia sales of this version have not yet begun, we have a Chevrolet dealer in Chisinau and this model is already selling.

So, on board 9000 km. Nothing knocks, does not creak, did not break. The car is still happy. The longest trips in the car in the car: Chisinau-Bucharest (480 km). The car behaves with dignity, Trasu holds (comparing with Prado). Speed \u200b\u200blifted up to 180 km / h.

Removed the lower apron of the front bumper and put the BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK DM-V1 235/65 R17 winter tires. Due to this, the road prospect also increased and the car behaves predictably and in the snow and on ice. At -23 degrees started immediately and warmed up for 10 minutes of the road. Heated mirrors and rear window works fine. It would be nice to be a heating regulator, but not fundamentally.

Headlight washer covers stole. I do not understand who they needed, but there are an infection of 35 euros per piece.

we are waiting for 15,000 and let's see what.

Good day, dear "Pans"!

I am the owner of this car for 8 months. But let's start, as they say from the beginning!

To buy a car, it approached very seriously, as my girl said: "Even too ...". I chose a long time, read reviews, I went to the test drive, looked at the Internet tests, consulted with friends, etc. The budget was limited to the amount of 1.5 million rubles. Selected crossover, medium size, preferably 7-seater (but this parameter was not decisive), the engine is not the smallest volume, so that it would not feel damage to overtakers and on traffic lights, but not more powerful 250 hp (due to the tax rate), the drive is full, necessarily - an automatic transmission, leather interior, preferably "Freshly" with a little mileage, ride every day, not too voracious, not capricious to the quality of gasoline (I live in North Ossetia, fuel quality here terrible), relatively not expensive those. Service relatively reliable - such basic criteria were to the future car.

I chose between Nissan X-Trail 2.5 (a good car, but not for me, it seems to me that this car for those for 40, I am 26 years old, in no case want to offend X-trailovodov, this is an exceptionally my opinion), Mazda CX-7 (a car for good roads, gentlelessly does not like, very capricious to the quality of gasoline, my good friend was the owner of this car, so he convinced me to give up the purchase of this car, because he was tortured all the consequences of driving on the ker. ... m gasoline), Mitsubishi Outlander HL 3.2 (did not like the salon, how could you eat these 20 cm of the skin on the rear seats ??? sitting: half the back on the seat, half of the back on the plastic wing ...), Lexus RX ( Excellent car, but we did not have such things in good condition, and there was no desire to go far), BMW X5 3.0 (for such a price were in age; all familiar owners of the X-5 are complaining that those. Service about - very much cheap and they say that the car is worth it, I do not argue with it but contain this E a car I would be drawing ...), Volks. Tuareg 3.0 etc. (All that I watched, and these are four things, burned "Jackie Chan" - maybe I was so lucky?) ... In general, I chose a long time ... And he appeared on the market, the chevrolet of the capitt, black in the market, in perfect condition, Not one scratch is neither within nor with the outside, at the time of purchase, the car was less than a year (9 months), mileage 7.5 thousand km., 3.2 Max. Set, Tittronic, 7 seats, etc. From the extra, it was installed: chrome package, crankcase protection, multimedia system, with TV tuner, DVD, navigation, rear view camera, 40 GB hard disk, 9 speakers (9th in panel), monitor in the ceiling for rear passengers and the console With games (games are not very, but the nephew likes to play), alarm system with auto-guns and the system of access to the salon "without a key" ... The capttion was from the series above which the guys were taken from Tuning Atelier "Irmsher", there were R20 wheels, Thresholds, spoiler, rear lights are transparent, and the suspension with low clien 30 mm, as well as the seller assured me that the car underwent chip tuning, but I did not check this statement ... As a result, reading a lot of negative reviews about this car, I decided to buy it (I do not even know why), I figured that the type of chevrolet, parts are not so expensive, etc. I took with a small cappression, because Build Russian, and negative reviews a lot! But after I straightened the price of up to 1 million r., And the former owner offered me a set of native wheels with R18 disks and summer tires, as well as winter tires with spikes, I decided to buy! On the first week, I installed the castle on the ACP, active sub. Under the front passenger session, xenon in PTF and specials. Signals (in North. Ossetia of the type is not solid without them to ride), pasted with black glossy vinyl badges Chevrolet icons (well, I don't like these yellow badges, with black he looks much more seriously) ... I go every day, 8 months, And on his surprise the car is very pleased! Oddly enough, I like this car! She was pleasantly surprised from the first hundreds of kilometers at the wheel of this car, and continues to delight to this day, it doesn't get riding on the capita, it can even flack a little on it, well, it's natural to measure 3.2 liters (all the same it is not 4 , 8 IS), but this motor is enough for this body! Let's start in order: 1) Salon: Very roomy, thought out to the trifles, all the boxes from the inside are punctured by the material that they do not rattle anything in them, there are many of these boxes, the seats - as if they are sewn right for me, they keep me well in turns (and the turns this car loves), but flames the lack of electrically regulators at the front passenger and the lack of heating the rear seats, it will not be built anywhere else, the seats of the second and third row are very easy, forming a flat floor, the rosette in the trunk, cooled glove box, all At hand, navigation works amazingly, on the third row of Sadenyev, for checking itself, myself personally, my height is 178 cm, a little closed, but in principle it does not strain, my brother VAZ 2114, so on his second row to sit even closer, legs at all Nowhere to do; I really liked the function of opening the window on the fifth door, although at first it was skeptical to her, but now I use it constantly, I open the fifth door very rarely, the disadvantages of the salon: the appearance is boring, the plastic is cheap, they say it strongly scratched (though I have a single scratch ), but the ergonomics at the height, everything in its place, all the joints are smooth, the climate works for 5+ both in winter and in summer; 2) Exterior: As they say "taste and color ...", but personally, I like it, and I like the girls, and from this he is even more like it :))), but it seems to be trapped in native wheels, very easier, very I liked the gills in the wings, even a couple from them goes from them, the captive seems to be angry; 3) Riding qualities finally the most important thing: the sound of the motor after three thousand revolutions sounds good, and it is not heard to this mark (I also please), the suspension is tough, all small irregularities are feeling, so they are still on The steering wheel is transmitted, though after the FX 35 dike, it seemed to me even soft ("35 picnis on 20 disks rides tougher Karting"), the chassis kapa is characterized by energy consistency, it happened a couple of times in the "pits" fell, I thought something fell off, so Nothing, the suspension did not work. But the other side of the stiffness is handling, it is at the height, I wrote above that Kapa loves turns, it's so, the stronger you put on gas, the better in these turns it flies like on dry and on the wet asphalt (like a winding road In the mountains, they were driving with a friend on two cars, it was raining, I'm on a cap, friend on the BMW E39 523i, when he tried to keep behind me in turning 120 km / h, he said something like "on x ... ..re I needed and let me go ahead "(in no way I don't want to say that my kap rulits better than BMW, just bring the case of life from life, in order for the picture to be fully), now my favorite drives for driving are serpentines. and asphalt mountain roads, rolls and rolls for this car are practically absent. The overclocking dynamics is quite decent, in the declared 8.8 seconds. up to 100 km / h car easily fit (why some problems with acceleration), overclocked KAPU to full, all 220 km / h, but taking into account the error of the speedometer, most likely it will be passport 200 km / h, and to the maximum of KAPA accelerates quite confidently ... I was very skeptical to the off-road qualities of Kapa, \u200b\u200ball the same, this is a parco lawn and from off-road "lotions" he only has a system for descent (by the way, a cool function, I am very like it), but here I was pleasantly surprised while this car does not sit on the belly (and because of the thresholds it happened once) she rushes and rushing, I wrote that the preventive owner I gave me winter tires, but I am her I still have not set, and already the end of January, I drive on summer tires, no where it was never stuck, when moving from the site there is no problem at all, there are problems when braking on ice, ABS Tyr-Tyr and the car goes and goes, good there is a tytitronic therefore in the ice braking speeds, but the spikes still do not put it, it's necessary to go on summer tires, there is no need ... But still a serious off-road, I would not advise you to force on Kaptiva, after all, this is a parco lawn, I personally try In a serious ass ..... Tsu on his chevik do not climb, and the pros Sin (245/40) absolutely beating any desire to check off-road potential. Gasoline consumption, not small: the city is 13.5 - 14 liters, the route is 11 liters. But but the gasoline is not so capricious, I repeat gasoline we have frank g .... but (as more conscience there is enough money for it), I didn't have any problems (pah-pah-pah). Pleased adjustable suspension, seven people in the car, also a small luggage, and the car did not even sat down. Oil consumption: it is not, I do not share the oil from shift to shift.

4) Reliability, for those who read this review to the end :), I can not say about reliability, now I have driven 25,000 km, only consumables changed for these kilometers, and one rear-number backlight light bulb and everything! No breakdowns and unscheduled zomen parts (once again pah-pah-pah). True, I am serviced only from the deficials.

In general, the car is very pleased! Great car for riding every day! I will not shout that the chevrolet capitt is better than cars of a higher class, it is not so, because such cars are more expensive and it's not just like that! But Captiva is definitely worth his money, and among classmates is a decent car, and as for me as the best among classmates, given the price / quality ratio, I don't want to offend anyone - my personal opinion. Those who are thinking about buying this car, I advise you to think if you need such a car, but if it suits you, take my advice!

Once again I repeat that feedback, I am writing the first time, I sincerely hope that my feedback will help someone when choosing a car.

Good luck everyone!

So, facing! I purchased it in May 2010, the car with the testril, DV. 3.2, 230 HP, Salon 5 seats, 2008. Actually, I wanted 7 beds, but it was necessary to wait 5 months, and here it was cheap, with a mileage of 11 thousand and for another 3 months, the guarantee remained. I decided to take a chance ... I suspect that part of further problems was just a consequence of my risks! ? Check caught fire after 800 km run - timing chain. Changed. Another 1000 km, again check! This time catalysts! Here I have already been relegated! Obviously before selling, I was replaced by them in shit in the hope that we were departed until the end of the guarantee! This is confirmed by the fact that the whole month did anything with it, changed sensors, cleaned some kind of crap there, just did not change the knights! In the end, after the 3rd or 4th arrival in the service, I asked the guys not to sink my brain ... Replaced ... both ... I calmed down for 3 months ... in November, check again - again the chain! On my very unlucky comment, the service was divorced by hands, saying that, damn, didn't have anything like that, but because the warranty was over, then 33,000 rubles chains (there are 3 pieces), 7000 replacement. So, I say, changed then 5 months ago! Not too cool every 20 thousand km of 40 pieces lay out! Nifiga - all replaced during the warranty ends with a guarantee! In general, I decided to ride so much, especially since this is the check that I was burning, then Gus, on the dynamics of the car did not affect the car! And after the sanctification of the car in the church, so far went out for 3 weeks! ? But then another pipette was drunk! On overtaking the wagons, the check lights up, turns into the hill! I sweared ..., well, at least there was no middle, but just the left band. I missed the wagon, turned to the side of the road, I drove and slowly went to the service! The specialists were picking, repeating the summer epic, month. In the end, they came to them - there are still 3rd catalyst! In the summer, he was not replaced, because no sensors do not go to him and he is not clear there! They offered me to finish it - cut off. The sound of the car during acceleration acquired trolleybus notes, but also hell with him! Well, the failure of the sensor ABS is finally the trifle, not believing that again it had to go to the service 4 times so that the "specialists" were convinced that the problem is in it. By the spring of 2011, the check (as a result of an unemployed chain) began to burn unimportantly. The master acceptor secretly said that you can take the same chains, but in the cabin of Kaddilka for 11 thousand! But all the same, the toad stirred to give 18 pieces for their nonsense work! In general, contacted GM's head office, rolled the letter to the dealer. Two days later they said that "OK!" With them chains, with me payment of work! Replaced! Well, in general, despite the extensive review, it must be said that the problems in the car were then two - chains and catalysts (ABS sensor at our winter and reagents, it can be said that the consumable material is strange that one only died)! In general, the car is good! For a year and a half, ownership twice changed place of residence, once did the repair! If it were not for Kapa, \u200b\u200bit would have been shaking! And so for two receptions transported an apartment! When I sold, all things from the underground in the trunk of Kapa shoved his wife in Solaris, the trunk of Solaris was scored! Power I was enough that on straight, that in the mountains! Consumption in the city of 16-17 liters, on the road 8-10, but I am not a racer when a couple of liters joined the steering wheel. The magnificent climate is in the summer in the heat of the norm in the cabin made minutes for 5 minutes, and the car rides the car or stands! Nakatay 42 thousand kilometers by car sold, with the last six months of problems with her was not at all, sold because the family moved because of the city to the center, two cars became a lot! Announcements were given 2 and on Solaris and on Kapu - what will be sold. For some reason, Kapu was taken faster ... Now I am waiting for an updated drift with Diesel, the hunt to see, we can take, but still 7-bed, once a year, but you have to deal with the crowd of friends of friends ... And I still look at Tahu ...

Probably, many motorists faced the fact that the "Check Engine" icon light poked on Chevrolet, but at the same time visible and explicit motors were not detected. What is the reason for this malfunction? In this article, consider all possible options, as well as methods of eliminating and solving the problem.

Stock foot

Video will tell how to eliminate the engine icon malfunction on the dashboard

Possible causes of the "Engine" icon on the dashboard

Many car enthusiasts and owners of Chevrolet Kaptitu heard that "Check Engine" can appear on the panel without any reasons. There may be a lot of reasons. At the same time, the most strange remains the fact that the motor does not submit signs of malfunction: there is no jerking, power loss and other problems.

So, where the malfunction can be located, and how it can be diagnosed. In any case, the first, where you need to get climb, the electronic control unit remains, it is here that it is worth looking for a malfunction. Since, the "Check" icon indicates a malfunction in the motor, then the control unit knows where it is necessary to look for it. If you connect to the computer, you can see an error that served as an alarming signal and then deal with the problem.

But since it is not always possible to connect to the engine control unit, consider where the malfunction may be hidden:

• Error in ECU or problems in software.
• Ignition system: candles, wires, injector, ignition coil.
• Fuel system: bad gasoline, nozzles, fuel pump.
• Lambda probe and catalyst.
• Mass flow sensor.

Methods of troubleshooting

So, the main reasons for the appearance of the "Check Engine" icon on the dashboard are determined, and it is necessary to go to the methods of troubleshooting. Of course, not all motorists know the design features of Chevrolet Captiva, so many malfunctions and methods of solution will be an unbearable task. In this case, so as not to risk it is worth contacting the car service. Well, and those who have already experienced this material will become very useful. So, we proceed directly to solving the problem.

ECU and associated malfunctions

Often, it happens that the appearance of the "Check" icon is associated with a malfunction in the "brain" of the car. The reasons for such an effect are quite a lot, but the main becomes a malfunction in the software and accumulation of errors.

The removal method becomes "reset" or reset the settings to factory. Of course, if it did not help, you need to change the software for a new one. For the Captition Class ECU, there are firmware type CUSTOM, in which many "bugs" of software are corrected. To accomplish a special K-Line cable, tablet, software and some kind of knowledge in the automotive electrician.

Time to change oil

Another reason for the appearance of "Check Engine" on the tidy becomes a signal that time to change the oil or its insufficient amount in the system. Thus, the motorist should check the condition of lubricating fluid, as well as to carry out planned engine maintenance.

Spark plugs and high-voltage wires

Also, the reason for the "Check Engine" icon may become a malfunction in the ignition system, namely the breakdown in one of the candles or wi-wires. In this case, the engine can work normally and not show visible faults. So, to search for a malfunction you need to ring the wires and check the performance of the candles. If necessary, replace damaged items.

Injector and ignition coil

Injector or ignition coil, in which there are failures, may also cause the appearance of "Check Engine". In this case, you need to diagnose the elements, as well as repair or replace damaged items.

Bad gasoline

The most common reason for the appearance of the "Check" icon dashboard is poor or stagnant gasoline. At the same time, it is difficult to diagnose it is quite difficult and practically impossible. Therefore, as practice shows, car enthusiasts merge completely fuel from the tank, as well as "whip" residues from the system. Bay new fuel needs to make a car, and then drown out. After some time, you will start and see whether the signaling device appears on the panel. If he disappeared, the cause of the fault is eliminated, if not, it is hidden elsewhere.

Fuel pump

Often, the fault of the fuel pump becomes the reason for the appearance of "Check Engine" on the panel. So, insufficient pressure in the fuel line can serve as a signal signal. In fact, this problem should be shown in the error of the electronic motor control unit, but as practice shows, not always. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the fuel pump and it is possible to replace the repair kit, since the filter grid can be scored.

Injectors

The nozzles are clogged, there can also be a signal to the ECU, which in turn will include "Check Engine". In this case, the malfunction can be eliminated by cleaning the elements. This should be done on a special stand, but if it is no lack, the operation can be done at home.

Lambda probe and catalyst

The oxygen or catalyst sensor malfunction can also cause malfunction. In this case, it is necessary to conduct diagnostic work and, if necessary, replace damaged items. So, an indirect additional feature can be a slight increase in fuel consumption.

DMVR

The faulty state of the mass flow sensor is caused by the appearance of "Check Engine" on the dashboard. This element is diagnosed simply enough, with the help of the tester, and the elimination of the cause is replacement. At the same time it is necessary to reset all errors after replacing the ECU.

Additional diagnostics

If there is gas-filled equipment on the car, then additional diagnostics will be required, since in any case, it connects to the electronic control unit. In this case, the cause of the malfunction can be a drop in pressure in the fuel line or a gearbox malfunction.

Output

Determine the causes of the "Check Engine" icon in the Chevrolet dashboard simply simply, because the main problems become: ECU, fuel system and bad gasoline. If the motorist cannot determine and eliminate the problem yourself, it is recommended to contact the car service. Of course, you will need to spend a certain amount of money, but the automaster will make everything quickly and efficiently. It is worth warming that any diagnostics of this fault begins with the audit of the ECU, and if the car enthusiast does not understand this process, it is worth contacting professionals in order to disrupt anything in the car.

Solid, bright, roomy, with off-road potential Chevrolet Captiva crossover fascinated everyone who loves the foundation in everything. But the shortcomings to which you need to pay attention to when buying a used car, there are also this family car. In addition to weak places in this car there are also disadvantages of which you need to know every future owner.

Weaknesses of Chevrolet Captiva 1st Generation

• steering rail;
• driver mechanisms for timing;
• stabilizer's pole;
• oil pressure sensor;
• brake pads;
• catalyst.

Details about weak places and their identification ...

Steering Reika

1. Learn about the wear of the steering rack, you can during a test drive or making diagnostics. It is necessary to draw attention to the appearance of a strong steering wheel vibration, outsiders in the form of a grincping, a knocks when driving around an uneven road. Turns of the steering wheel in any direction will be difficult. At the same time, extraneous sounds will also arise. A sign of the malfunction can also be leaked from the steering rack. It is worth looking into the tank if the fluid gur is strongly foaming, then this is also a sign of breakage.

GRM mechanisms drive

2. On Chevrolet Captiva with a 2.4 L engine drive Timber mechanisms. Its wear can turn out not only the breakdown, but also bent valves. The degree of wear can sometimes be determined visually. With a large wear, he begins to "shake". But the first and main signs are from the inside of the belt and they are not always visible.

On a car with a motor 3.2 l - timing chain drive. His pulling is a common disease of these machines. This reduces the thrust in the engine, and the on-board computer gives errors.

Chassis

3. The state of the stabilizer racks is largely dependent on driving manner. Problems with them can be revealed by driving on a car on an uneven road. About the faults of the racks will say a knock, an enlarged roll and a car drift on turns, as well as rocking when braking. Experienced drivers can also determine their breakdown by shaking the car from each angle. A sign of the malfunction will be a sharp lower.

4. Most often on Chevrolet Captiva, front brake pads are wearing. This is usually happening after a run about 35 thousand kilometers. The rear pads will serve almost twicear longer. You can learn about their wear on a trial. With each braking, especially at high speeds, metallic screech will be heard, grinds. This sound causes a wiszing sensor built into the brake pads.

5. Oil pressure sensor is another vulnerable area of \u200b\u200bthe drift. With its malfunction, an indicator oil pressure lamp will be lit. It can light up when Peregazovka or in other cases of pressure changes. However, this is not the only reason when this indication lights up. It signals the failure of the oil pump, lack of oil level, wiring faults of this important engine part, as well as the problems of the motor itself. Therefore, the best way out when the burning light will be diagnosed in a hundred.

6. The catalyst also refers to the weak point of this model. It is also on gasoline and diesel engines. The most obvious sign of the problem with it will be a tight set of speed, then the engine starts working as usual as usual. But for one short trip to reveal it is not always possible, so it is necessary to undergo diagnosis in the service.

In addition to the above sores, you need to carefully check the overall condition of the car. Make a mileage and listen to noise, knocks, squeaks, whispers and other strange sounds in the area of \u200b\u200bthe engine compartment, chassis and suspension.

The main disadvantages of Chevrolet Captive 2006 - 2011. release

1. "Crickets" in the salon in winter;
2. Low front bumper skirt;
3. Plastic in the cabin easily scratched;
4. Due to wide front racks a bad review;
5. Rigid suspension;
6. Fuel consumption is larger than the stated;
7. Weak light at night (no xenon);
8. Pedal Delta (brake pedal above gas pedal);
9. Weak engine.

Conclusion.
This is a rather reliable crossover and a trip to it will deliver the present enjoyment. With careful operation, Chevrolet Captiva does not bring its owners breakdown. Therefore, buying a used car, the perfect verification option is the passage of complete diagnosis in the car service.

P.S.: Dear future and real car owners, when detecting patients and frequent breakdowns of your car, inform about it in the comments.

   Also a weak place of engine 2.4 is the flow of oil into candlestones. Replacing the valve cover laying solves problems, but not for a long time. Cause - plastic valve cover. Apparently over time it leads. It is possible to replace it with aluminum solutes the problem. When buying bucks, it is worth looking into the candlestones. Just remove the caps of high-voltage wires with the candles and if the problem is present they will be in oil.

   Captiva 2014 goal Mileage almost 60 thousand stabilizer racks did not change so that not the most weak link. The resultant mileage of the front hubs 30-50 km and replaced both front hubs. On one of his car, there was no such thing all 100-110 Thousands changed the electromagnetic graduation valve.

3. Sergey

   Well, well, a very weak point of a cavity hose of the wash fluid on the rear window. In a period of minuses constantly pop up.

   CAPTIVE 2.4 Gasoline 2012 GAV Mileage 148200, replacing the pad 65000, replacing the front right rack 105000, replacing the left hub 148000 is not due to the fault of wear, replacing the rear outer silent blocks 148000, to replace everything. The problem, in the air in the winter water accumulates from the temperature drop, have to be removed and check (auto blanket is strictly prohibited), the check is burning for 3 years, sinning onto the fuel pump, but it works fine, the error is not cleaned, 4 years expenses were up to 10 , now 11 liters. Also 1 time jumped the rear window washed hose. No more problems, I am pleased with the car.

5. Michael

   And how cost this car ... I also like it very much. But some say that expensive in service. And s / n I have about $ 300

6. Pavel

   Chevrolet Captive 2.2 diesel. The chart lights up the need for car maintenance. The revs rose to 1600, the diagnosis scolds 4 nozzles.

7. Alexei

   Continuing 2.4. I change the thermostat every three years, in addition to everything outlined above. The radiator this year was the weak.

8. Vitaly

   Bought in the past 2017 by Kaptiu 2013. Mileage is now 93 t.km. Machine satisfied. Consumption 12-12.4l, it seems a bit too much, but for 2.4l, 167l.s., probably normally. Climate-auto - with glitches periodically, in manual norms. The engine with a machine work smoothly with a good tight. The suspension is harsh on uneven roads outside the city, in the city is very comfortable. The machine is generally satisfied.

9. Nikolai

   Coke, sevenway 2008. Bought in 2009. WORD. Changed Kapu on Kapu in the cabin in two months. A coar of the dealer was proved when installing advanced. We exploit until today. Satisfied. Periodically requires maintenance and repair as a mechanism. Mileage for 200,000 km. Changed repeatedly front stabilizer racks. Rear only after 200,000 km. The bushings of the stabilizer front and rear replaced after 200 thousand mileage. Replaced the brake discs, a couple of parking sensors, twice gasket under the lid of the valves. Sloves flow: crankshaft, camshaft. I change. Double changed the corrugation of the muffler. There was a bang of stiletto silencers. Twisted, replaced with a gasket. The hub thickened under 200,000 km. - Replacement. In winter, the brushes to the frontier - the mechanism for replacement. Replacing the air conditioning power unit. Replacing the crusades on Cardan, twice changed the rear axle gland. Generator - repair. Brushes and bearings were worn. Changed the front shock absorbers - divorce on the service. Was slightly stuffed. I think I would go long. The front and rear salureblocks changed repeatedly.

10. Sergey

    Chevrolet Captivation 2014 g 2.4 mileage 75 thousand. It was a failure of the movement of the front brushes of the windshield. The first time you got up in place. After a year, the second time was a failure. Supported where they want. On the service they said that the mechanism of their mount was slipped. As a result, there is some wear of the asterisks. Plain pechanism. Signed if it turns off again again
