Located below the hot/cold gauge, the "S" light on the dashboard of the car starts flashing after I've started driving it. Also the odometer doesn't work, it just stays on 0 even when I am driving the car.
And that was this morning on my way to work. Now this evening it did the same thing, but then the check engine light came on too.
Any help would be great! Thanks.

Hi there,

we need to start with the check engine light, get the codes that are set and post them here for more assistance, start here.

Thanks for your answer.
How do I get the codes? Is that with a handheld sensor device that detects how the engine is misfiring? Is it something I can find out without going to a repair shop?
Also is there some way to get a replacement manual for my car since it didn't come with one?
Thanks!

Hi there,

Some of the larger parts retailers do offer a read service, not sure which ones as i am in Australia, work shop manuals are a cheap investment for your car, you can pick up manuals at most parts stores if they don't have one, they can order it for you.
