Hello,

What was the Direct Trouble Code (DTC) or "code" that was pulled when the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or "check engine" light illuminated?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

Okay. The reason I asked is because I just wanted to make sure of the DTC number so I didn't give you the wrong information. In the diagrams down below I have included a factory troubleshooting flowchart for you to go through that will pinpoint the problem. You will need a vacuum pump with a vacuum gauge attached to do the diagnostic tests, but having said that, they are fairly easy and straight forward. Please go through the guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

You got the last reply with the factory troubleshooting flowchart for DTC P0497. You don't need to ask a new question, I will get your response and it will go just we are having a conversation.

Thanks,
