Replying to: sage3 (Jan 17, 2009 12:29 pm) Once running a loose belt or weak battery will not make the engine die. Does the check engine light come on? Replies to this message: sage3 (Jan 18, 2009 4:17 pm) sage3 (Jan 18, 2009 4:27 pm) sage3 (Feb 01, 2009 10:26 am)

Replying to: circuitsmith (Jan 18, 2009 12:07 pm) Yes, the light was coming on at low RPM's. I thought it was the alternator so I exchanged it for a new one. Now the car will run without dying but i hear a whine that fluctuates with the RPM'S. The vehicle will not start without a jump so I was planning on getting a new battery tomorrow.

Replying to: circuitsmith (Jan 18, 2009 12:07 pm) The battery light comes on; not the check engine light. The car manual states that if this light comes on when the engine is running the charging system has a problem? Once I put in the new alternator the light comes on erratically but the car does not die. Is the battery low on charge or dying? Replies to this message: sage3 (Feb 01, 2009 10:26 am)

Replying to: sage3 (Jan 18, 2009 4:27 pm) Replaced the alternator and battery, all is working fine for 2 weeks now. The noise from the new alternator was from a disconnected ground wire.
#44 of 47 Tire Light by DON__FLORIDA Feb 05, 2009 (1:12 pm)
I have an 09 and the tire warning light comes on some times. The tires are fine with proper inflation. The dealer said this can happen in cold weather. If this true I am gald I live in Florida. We do not have many cold days. Does anyone else experience this? Replies to this message: jqua (Mar 09, 2009 12:52 am)

Replying to: DON__FLORIDA (Feb 05, 2009 1:12 pm) Sounds more like a problem with the dealer.   Have driven a few cars with tire pressure systems..... If temp falls from 60 F down to -10 F I'd have to check them otherwise nada. The temp range in FL at this time of year shouldn't be an issue.   Makes notes on conditions when the warnings are coming on. If it continues sounds like a system fault.
