Dear motor Guru, My MdX 2007 sometimes shows check transmission mostly when I am reversing and there will be a flashing of the D- sign on the dash. I check the transmission fluid and is a little low at the bottom of the lower dip sign instead of in between. So I asked a friend for his scanner and did a quick scan and it showed a code about transmission range switch open or short circuited. Although when this error shows up, the car still drives smoothly without any slip, noise or drag. I don't just like to see any yellow sign on my dash. Please what can I do to fix this. Thanks |

oluwaleokey: This is very tricky. The pic shown is a huge precursor to engine sludge. Before you perform engine oil change from the 20w50, get a mechanic to open the valve cover for inspection. if sludge is present, please stick to the 20w50 if no sludge, try mineral (or syntheitc blend ) of the 5w40, and monitor oil consumption of engine if no consumption present, move up to 5w-30 |

Mrford: your best bet would have been a Toyota Corolla, Personally i see not much difference btw a 2005 and a 2006( both have drive by wire throttle) so a budget of 1.8 should comfortably get you a 2005 Toyota Corolla |

RealDannie: when last did you perform a tuneup( spearkplug change, air filter etc) also when scanning , check and post short term fuel trims(STFT) and long term fuel trims(LTFT) here |

MotorGuru: Please, do consider having your mechanic clean the filter. If that doesn't fix issue, then a thorough check on the switch linkage would be required |

GAZZUZZ: Morning Oga Gazzuzz, the issue has been resolved. It was a wiring issue that caused it. Thanks for your response though. I am looking at resolving a P0505 - IACV issue now. Torn between buying a complete throttle body (or just the IACV) or just cleaning the present one. I tried a DIY but the cleaning was not thorough (lack of tools and throttle cleaner). |

Please I'd like to know if mitsubishi Attrage is ideal for e-hailing, I'd like to know if it's rugged, and how easy it is to maintain. |
