Two suggestions:

> Have the trouble codes that have been stored by the vehicle’s OBD II system “read”. This can usually be done–without charge–at an auto parts store.

> Ask a friend or relative who is a native speaker of English to do your follow-up posts, because your sentence structure makes it difficult to deduce exactly what you are trying to tell us.
