Significance

Chevy Metro diagnostic trouble code 0705 represents a transmission range sensor circuit malfunction.

Check Engine Light

When the ignition is turned on, the check engine light will turn off if the code 0705 either does not exist or if it has been cleared. If the light stays lit, the code represents a problem. Data concerning the code is stored in the electronic control module (ECM).

Clearing the Code

Clear or erase the code 0705 in a Geo Metro by disconnecting the negative battery cable and isolating the battery ground cable for 60 seconds.

You can pull a code from your 97 Chevy S10 Blazer right in your garage, saving yourself money and time. The Blazer comes equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics II computer (OBD-II). This computer retrieves and stores all trouble codes it receives from various sensors positioned throughout the vehicle. The Blazers computer turns on warning or service lights on the instrument panel to alert you to the malfunction. You can pull these codes from the computer using a small, handheld device called an OBD-II code scanner. You can buy this online or at any auto-parts retailer.

Instructions

1

Find the diagnostic port on the drivers-side dash under the steering column. Its the same size and shape as code scanners connective end.

2

Plug the code scanner into this diagnostic port. Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ACC" position. Dont crank the engine.

3

Wait while the scanner turns on. Select the command "Retrieve Codes" -- the command may be somewhat different, depending on scanner brand. Wait for the code scanner to display the codes on its face and then write the codes down on a piece of paper.

4

Find the meaning of the codes in the scanners manual. Unplug the scanner and take the vehicle to be serviced or repaired.

You can retrieve the trouble codes for your 1993 Lexus LS400 right from your home garage, saving yourself a trip to the mechanic. All you need is an OBD I scan tool, which is a hand-held computerized device that can be purchased from any auto parts store. This tool reads the trouble codes that are sent to the On-Board Diagnostics computer. These codes help you or your mechanic pinpoint the exact problem with the vehicle. Do not reset the computer until after you have had the vehicle serviced or repaired. Doing so could cause further damage to the Lexus.

Instructions

1

Open the fuse panel cover using your fingers and pulling in a downward motion. The fuse panel cover can be found underneath the steering column.

2

Find the port in the fuse panel and plug the OBD I scan tool into it. Dont force it in because the pins may bend. Just twist it around until it fits properly.

3

Turn on the scan tool. Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position. Dont crank the engine.

4

Select "Clear" on the scan tool to reset the codes.

5

Unplug the scan tool, replace the fuse panel cover and start the engine. Verify that all service and warning lights have shut off.

As a theft deterrent, Volvo includes in its radios a mechanism that disables the radio when it is tampered with or loses power. When this occurs, the radio will display "code" until the deterrent is overridden. While useful as an anti-theft measure, it can be an irritation to rightful Volvo owners who do not know the four-digit unlock code that is unique to their vehicle. Volvo includes two radio identification cards with the owners manual. If these are misplaced or unavailable, Volvo dealerships should have access to a database of unlock codes.

Depress the necessary preset button in sequence until the numbers on the radio display match the unlock code. For the code 1425, for instance, press the 1 preset button, then the 4 button, then the 2 button and then the 5 button.

You can get the trouble codes from your Hyundai XG350 using a handheld computerized device known as an OBD scan tool. When sensors positioned throughout the Hyundai detect a malfunction, they send alphanumeric trouble codes to the on-board diagnostics computer (OBD) which stores them for you to retrieve with your scan tool. This scan tool can be purchased from any auto parts retailer.

Instructions

1

Locate a port on the lower part of the drivers dash. Plug the scan tool into this port, taking care not to force it in. Rotate it until it fits properly.

2

Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "on" position, but dont crank the engine. This will power on the scan tool. Wait while the OBD scan tool retrieves the codes.

3

Write the codes on a piece of paper and look up the meaning of the codes in the OBD scan tool manual.

4

Unplug the scan tool from the port and turn off the vehicle. Have your Hyundai serviced or repaired based on the information retrieved from the codes.
