Let me clarify my above response (since you guys are soooo literal)...... The P1157 wasn't hidden per se (i.e, not masked by the secondary 02 sensor codes), it is just that I assumed my CEL light (which is always on until I re-set it) was due to the secondary o2 sensors, when in fact there was a new fault present (P1157).by ICEBOX - Main Forum
Tried that - no messages present. Probably due to the dealer clearing my CEL codes for the secondary o2 sensors. New clue though; the 02 sensor codes I have (P2098, etc.) were masking a P1157 (engine temp sensor/short to ground). It appears this fault may be preventing the engine cooling fan from operating as I checked and am not detecting any fan noise after operating the car for a while (by ICEBOX - Main Forum
Good suggestion. I'm a good customer of theirs and and some addtional legwork on their part to check with their local dealer rep is certainly something they'd be willing to do. thanks.by ICEBOX - Main Forum
No - the warning specifically read "catastrophic engine failure, lower engine" or some similar last two words. I distintcly remember seeing "catastrophic engine failure" in the warning as it really caught my attention as I would expect it would for anyone. Thanks for checking on this,by ICEBOX - Main Forum
My mistake in description- not a warning light, but a warning message. See my earleir response.by ICEBOX - Main Forum
I'm not hallucinating - the entire area as indicated in #7 on the driver console diagram turned red with this warning in block letters. I was able to erase the warning by toggling back on the stalk that suppresses other warning messages such as low fuel, check engine, etc. .The dealer didn't question what I told them, When I pick up the car, I'll ask them to confirm if it is a warning indicator tby ICEBOX - Main Forum
Need advice from the community at large here- a big red 'warning, catastrophic engine failure bottom of engine' light came on in my '03 S (59k) the other day. Immediate thoughts of an imploding IMS came to mind, but light was not accompanied by any other symptoms, i.e, no noise, smoke or vibration. Car is immaculately maintained, oil changed every 6,000-7,500 miles, not raced, garaged winters. Iby ICEBOX - Main Forum
