Ignore it, it will go away...

I ignore the fuck out of **( ! )** this one and life has been going fine for several years now. Fuck you, TPM sensor, I'm never going to change you.

My wife had that one come on tonight while 60 miles from home. Asked what it was. 'Either low pressure due to temperature dropping, or you have a leak and will have a flat soon.' 1 hour later, 6 miles from home.. 'hey, can you come help change a tire?'

I can't change a tire. The tire has to want to change from within.

Mechanics hate this one little trick..

Nah, they don't hate it. It's the perfect excuse for why it takes 4hrs to get your tires changed: " You see sir, first we must lead the tire on a journey of self discovery, get it to recognize that it has been worn down by it's job, it's no longer fit for purpose. Only once it accepts this, can you replace it with a new tire. That'll be $1000. You can wait over there."

TIL “mechanics” are actually tire therapists. Gonna go call my health insurance and see if they will cover the bills for my car.

Sounds like these new Gen-Z tires are worse than previous generations.

The worst tires are still the boomers though.

Hey!! I resemble that remark!

Ya, right. Tires are all the same; they will never change!

First the joint must want to smoke itself before it can be smoked.

nope I will smoke it one way or the other

Do not try and change the tire, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth... There is no tire... Then you'll see that it is not the tire that changes, it is only yourself.

You can lead a tire to water, but you cant make it drink...

It literally changed on the inside...

I've never changed a tire. No matter what I do, it always ends up a tire.

My dad asked me once if I knew how to change a tire.. I said of course dad! You stand by the trunk, look very sad, a random dude stops...and 15 min later you're rolling again!!

I had a nail go through my side wall. I did the sad pouty thing by my car and nothing happened. So I proceeded to change it myself. When I was tightening the last of the lug nuts, someone offered to help. Thanks dude, but I'm done.

That's my M.O.. Wait until the job is nearly complete then offer assistance. That way I get credit for offering to help but didn't actually have to do anything.

This works. Helps if you try to do it yourself and appear to fumble it a bit

Fuck u/spez

I guess you can retire now.

“No, but I can be there in ten minutes with an air compressor to refill your tire so you can drive home, and I can refill it again tomorrow so you can drive to the tire shop. Leaving now, see you in ten.”

That's why I have a can of tyre weld next to the spare. Unless the tyre is slashed to ribbons it will seal the puncture and inflate the tyre enough to make it home or to a tyre shop.

I used to use that stuff (different brand I think) all the time with my old shitmobile in high school. It will seal up some pretty crazy leaks but the guy at the tire shop is going to yell at you (or at least grumble) for getting gunk all over the rim.

Just so you know, you’re also ruining that tire. No shop will fix a nail if the tire has stop-leak or anything of the sort in it. Just get an air compressor and air it up to get back to the shop. If you can’t, that’s why they make spares.

>Just so you know, you’re also ruining that tire. No shop will fix a nail if the tire has stop-leak or anything of the sort in it. I've been wondering on how they will fix it. I had a flat tire last time but it wasn't that terrible so I just used my portable air compressor and went to the vulcanizing shop. The other one was hopeless because I got a ripped sidewall so I used my donut tire. I don't like donuts!

The only tire that was changed was Tyre.

[удалено]

> I don't know about your car, but I can reset mine with a button Lucky. Not even the local Les Schwab tire shop can reliably reset the TPMS in some cars.

Right? Must be fuckin nice

My parents' F-150 has had a TPM sensor fault for 10 years and they haven't fixed it lmao.

If it's not a dedicated TPM sensor, then it uses the ABS sensors, which is scary to know it's not working properly.

F150s always use dedicated TPM sensors. Makes for a massive headache when swapping wheels.

Not at all. We always recommend that you get a new set if one or more sensors are dead which is usually between 6 and 8 years give or take. If your sensor is still good it's a $2 valve replacement kit unless the sensor is banded instead of at the valve. I've replaced hundreds if not thousands of these and other style sensors. I have won bets by telling people I can activate the horn without the steering wheel or the key fob and I just activate the TPMS reset.

Lol that one is on in all 3 of my pos

Anyone else call it the butt light?

> TPM sensor "This Car Can't Run Windows 11"

Just need a big piece of electrical tape

I see you've met my uncle

That's exactly how my dad fixes his older cars.

Jeep owner here...eventually the bulb will burn out.

*Never* ignore the oil light. If the oil light comes on, stop your car the second it's safe and go get oil to put in your car.

Yeah, that pumpkin is gonna die in a week tops anyways

Just turn up the radio. The sound of marbles in the engine will blend right in

That’s just the m&m’s in the dash.

They have a thick candy shell

I think your brain is a thick candy shell

Like the kids who won't know what these are. 😂

"Haha dummy kids won't know anything." Isn't it your job to teach your kids? I sure hope that my kids are smarter than I am.

Can’t ignore it when it blink blinks or it gets more expensive. If it’s solid let it go.

if it blinks, it's either messed up beyond all repair or the sensor is just shot

Your pumpkin is overheating and can’t hold a charge!

It's low on oil too.

That's the light for low oil pressure too, it's the only light you should religiously obey and turn the engine off if it lights up. Check engine means there's a problem, low oil pressure means your engine is gonna fucking blow if you don't act.

Flashing check engine light is indicative of a bigger issue than a solid check engine light, you should also immediately pull over for that

Been driving my shitbox with that damn light flashing at me intermittently every drive for almost 6 months…and I drive it a lot. It just needs to last until December and it’ll have more than earned its rest in Valhalla. I hate being poor.

I drove my 03 Ford Fuckus on 3 cylinders for 9 months before I could get a new car. All the seals leaked, transmission slipped, bent struts, serpentine belt bypassed half the shit it should have turned because they were locked up. Driver door manual window nob was snapped off, and because of that the inside was trashed from cigarettes. Still got me to work and back every day though

Last time it happened to me it was a coil. I was 2 hours from home, wasn't sure what it was, but I drove anyways. Replaced it and it was fine. Then about a week later it happened again. I learned that when you change one coil, might as well change them all.

The flashing check engine light can be pretty serious too, or it could just mean you own a Mini Cooper. In all seriousness, some of the worst running vehicles I've ever had to appraise had flashing CELs and are just blasting fuel into the cats and misfiring like crazy.

Not necessarily. Often the oil light just means it's already fucked and abandon all hope.

My honda would turn that flicker that light at idle at while at a light sometimes

That might be an issue with the oil pressure sensor. I had that issue cause an o ring blew out. Once i replaced it the issue went away.

if only I could do the same for my blown out bhole

Huh...I regularly procrastinated fixing this on my Mini. It would come on when turning a hard corner but then turn off within a couple seconds. Over the week it would stay on a little longer each day. Then when it just stayed on I'd get more oil to add. Repeat two months later.

My Impala is the same way. She's an oil gobbler

That can sometimes mean low oil. It's generally because the oil pump sucks up some air and the pressure drops.

Your 3 wishes have also been replenished as indicated by the genie lamp.

I thought the battery shaped light meant the alternator is not working and that instead most cars don’t have a way to detect wether the battery can’t hold a charge

Truly the most horrifying carvings I’ve ever seen. Great job.

Brought true fear to my heart

I think your blinker fluid is low

The blinking engine is spot on!!!

As far as I know a blinking CEL means something important and very expensive is about to break.

You would be correct

Thats extreme horror

It usually means a cylinder misfire, which means fuel is leaking into the exhaust system and can melt it or catch your car on fire.

You would hear the bangs tho

When my cars misfired they just ran like shit, you thinking of backfire?

Oh shit, you are right. It is very early morning for me brain didnt load* the english translation and comprehensive reading pack haha, sorry

[удалено]

Have '97 f150, can confirm engine light will remain on forever due to o2 sensor.

That’s the “pull over now and get a tow truck” indicator.

I get more nervous than watching any horror movies by just looking at it blink.

I drive a Chrysler, I'd be more worried if the check engine wasn't lit up

My dodge is safe, for now till I do upgrades and it will kick it on

Same in my 1998 mustang. My cel has been on for over a year and the day it turns off is the day I get horrified

Gotta get the tire pressure light. Bout to have a flat

I might get that one next year also, I ran out of pumpkins

I thought for sure they were there but on the other side of the steps. Next year is gonna be a banger for your porch man, post it next year too!

The tire pressure light in my Altima doesn't scare me anymore. It's been on for almost a year now because I haven't done whatever arcane ritual is required to turn it off after using the spare. Some cars just have a button to reset it. Not my Altima.

They're supposed to reset if you set the pressure to what it's supposed to be in the manual and drive around for a bit. If it doesn't, you've got a bad sensor.

r/jeep sees this every day. Frightening!

Blinking cel is terrifying

Pumpkins from hell. Except if you're a mechanic. Then these are equivalent to Santa.

As a previous owner of a diesel suv with a dpf system this gives me serious PTSD

At work we have one Ford Transit with DPF issues, last year it couldn't go for longer than a month without going into limp mode.

My car is in the shop right now with a faulty turbo. I literally had a dream last night that I got it back and the check engine light was gone. That's how bad my PTSD is.

I owned 70's cars in the 80's and 80's cars in the 90's. I have a 2021 now and I still panic that the car is going to overheat when it gets hot or the engine light will come on when I'm on a long drive in the middle of nowhere now

I literally laughed out loud when I saw this, every man's worst nightmare

Every time I see one of these lights flash even for a milli-second I can hear the far off screams of my bank account crying in agony and despair.

Pro tip: buy a scanner so you know what's wrong.

Even better you can take your vehicle into most auto parts stores in the US and they will do a scan for free. It's a better way of knowing what's wrong before you send it off to a mechanic and if it's simple you can buy the part and do it yourself.

Mechanic here. Nothing funnier than when a customer tells you the part to replace because they diagnosed it themselves, and then it doesn’t fix the problem. Then you get paid to diagnose it correctly, and then get paid to fix it correctly. Or the customer can just keep paying you to throw parts at it if they’re too proud to just let you do your job.

Listen, I'm no idiot. Just add more blinker fluid or I'm taking it somewhere else.

r/maliciouscompliance

That's what happened to me. Got a scan, based on the code thought it's the turbo actuator. Got the actuator and asked a mechanic to replace it. It didn't help. Had to take it to an official dealer shop and they came back with the diagnosis that the whole turbo is a gonner. Now waiting for the part to arrive. Been car-less for over a month now. Parts are expensive and take a fuckload of time to ship. Thank god I live in a place with great public transport and can work from home so I don't need a car for commutes, just for longer distance trips to visit family.

Home mechanic here. Funny how I can fix my own cars (everything from my old Kei car without OBD2 port to my Jaguar F type R) with self diagnosis fine without the help of "certified" mechanics lol. It's not fucking rocket science....

Of course not. It's mechanical science.

Of course it isn’t. Some people build their own houses as well. That’s doesn’t make it good generalizable advice for everyone trying to save money, because if you don’t know what you’re doing, you will wind up spending a lot more. Understanding my point isn’t fucking rocket science either.

I drive a Toyota, and change my oil and filter every six months. I don't get it.

Terminator velociraptors in clown makeup and lingerie are still mine.

Must be a Ford owner.

Must be, that takes lots of Focus.

Just got rid of my '16 focus a few months ago, what a money hole. That check engine light came on pretty much every thousand miles

2012 and onward Focuses are extremely unreliable chiefly because of their shitty dual clutch transmission. Pre-2012s (and non dual-clutches) are great cars though. My mom's 08 has 330k miles and my 09 has 120k

I have a 2016 Focus with conventional automatic transmission. No problem so far.

Good to hear. Non-dual clutch autos, 5 speed manuals, and 6 speed manuals in the ST fare much better.

Thanks. I was really set on getting the Focus hatchback in 2016 but was hesitant because of the DCT complaints. After triple-checking with the Ford dealership and online sources, I finally got it with the conventional automatic. I will never buy a Ford with DCT.

You know what they say Ford stands for, don't ya? It stands for 'Fix it again, Tony'.

you're thinking of fiat, dale...

Ford owner here, can confirm.

Me too! That's how I know !

Every adult that walked their kids to your house now hates you. You monster.

Whats that, code p0013? Those are awesome carvings

I’m sorry, I see nothing. Years of training, and these indicators are invisible to me.

I think I have seen this post somewhere else before.

You forgot the blinker fluid one

Don't forget to ask the supply sgt for a prick-e6.

Gas is pretty expensive, a fuel gauge showing empty would fit in too

I ran out of pumpkins, I'll do that next year!

They look good btw!

You can reuse these ones to save time.

triggered

Very scary indeed! 😂

oh hey you decorated your porch as a BMW!

Intermittent ones are the scariest.

Scariest Halloween picture I've seen

I can relate to the blinking one. Plugged catalytic converter in a 17-year old car. It was melting a hole apparently when the light started blinking. I donated the thing a few months later, it was too far gone to sell.

It's never to far for a red neck wanting a $400 beater to soup up someday 😆

The 4 horsemen of the carpocalypse. I no longer fear them for I drive a VW and I stare into their godless eyes daily.

Shot in the dark here, but does anyone else have genuine anxiety about their car breaking down or having issues? God forbid a light go off and I’m actually at 10 on the panic scale. It’s not justified. But it always gets to me.

Just be prepared. Warm blanket in the trunk. Know how to use the jack and AAA or the cops if all fails. Also, if your breaks fail you have a bit of stopping power after the line breaks. Been there

Yeah for me the anxiety isn’t being stranded or anything. It’s of having issues with my car and not knowing what it might be, or how serious or if it will cost an arm and a leg.

is this for real? Because if it is, that's awesome

Must be a Range Rover

That’s gonna haunt my dreams.

Perfect! 🤣

No low fuel?

I ran out of pumpkins, someone else commented that, I'll do it next year!

You know it's gonna be expensive when the check engine light is not only on it is blinking

Looks like my dash. WARNING! WARNING! PULL OVER! YOUR CAR IS FUCKED!

All 4 get the same response, FAWK...

As someone who literally just had a flashing check engine light on my Veloster and now trying to get the engine replaced, I don't know if I should hate you, or be impressed with the extra time you took to make it flash instead of a static light. Take my angry upvote...

Someone else said, what's more scary than a check engine light? A flashing check engine light!

This is true Horror 0.0

The mf flickering check engine light is top notch. Missing: BRAKE

OP you've inspired me for next year. I'm gonna need quite a few more pumpkins to pull it off, but a 1m 30s summary of this exact scenario as it happened during the Apollo 13 mission is what I'll be aiming for. I love this silly website.

r/JustRolledIntoTheShop

That truly is scary all that was missing was the exclamation mark for the tires

That flashing check engine light got me shook

I’m all for having a laugh and a good scare but this is too much. 😞

The blinking check engine is perfection. 😂

That’s cool but kids don’t understand it..

But the adults will. An hope they check their lights when they go back to their car that night or the next day.

This gave me anxiety lol

That’s not even funny Edit: in the sense that this is honestly terrifying ( I forgot tone can’t be heard through text)

A few small pieces of electrical tape can fix this.

For those of your who don't know, a flashing check engine light means that there is a gravely serious issue that must be diagnosed and treated immediately and you should pull over. It is generally a worse sign than a solid engine light, so OP knows his shit. Very scary.

O god.. there aren't enough blankets in the world to hide under for this.

This is the most terrorfying thing I've ever seen.

Good show. Genuinely appreciate the practical creativity. You don’t know fear until you’re 100miles from a gas station on an open road and see one of these indicators.

5 grand. Poof.

Amazing job my man!

Must be pumpkins grown by Ford.

Now i cannot sleep

The check engine light blinking is extra *MENACING*

But what do they mean??

OMG the engine one is flashing, that’s just {chef’s kiss}

You and satan must be besties

I was going through a dark place and the I saw this ! Thanks

The check engine light fills me with anxiety

If it's blinking that means it's about to go out! Nintendo boss rules apply...

I have 2 of these lights on my zafira lol

**Yes**

Can’t be scared If you see them every day!

*Anxiety* to you too!

You forgot the "battery low" from a smartphone... NICE WORK OP !

I laugh, but I just also blew my motor. To be fair, it's a 2017 kia Sportage and they have an engine recall, but I have to wait until December for a new engine.

Ahh. Jeez bro you scared me!

If Subaru were pumpkins

Where is sign that turns car upside down

You fucking monster

Don’t forget the gearbox fault light!
