Power train warning light appears on my dashboard every time we have a long travel. If the power train appears it losses power it gets a high rpm's but low in speed in the speedometer. If you turn off the engine it will disappear the warning light. But it came on again after a few minutes of driving. Why is it the power train appears on the dashboard? Can you help me? Thank you!

The first this to do here is get a scan done and post the code set, the powertrain light will indicate that there is a fault logged and a code will be set, with that code we can investigate further into this problem.

Hello ARNEL LACUBTAN,

If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself here is a link to an article from this site that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com
