Re: 2001 grand prix service engine light

What model GP do you have to include engine size and mileage?

To find out which DTC error code(s) triggered the SES/CEL light you need to have it scanned with an odbii scanner. Places like AZ will do it for free.

Re: 2001 grand prix service engine light

I'm curious as to what was done on the tuneup and what the cost was?

So far the general consensus is the CAT.
