This vehicle was backed into and there was front end damage. The garage said there was no internal damage and after about a week driving the cruise control light, check engine light flashing, and e-brake all lid up. The car still drove and is sitting at the house. We tried starting it again and the lights went out. Could this be a missed diagnosis from the accident or could it be something else. I haven't used the scan tool yet. Any help would be appreciated.
The trouble code my family member told me about was due to the solenoid and the garage that they brought it to charge them $275 to replace it. They said it had nothing to do with the accident which I am unsure of. Since it's not my actual personal car I could only do so much. Thank you though.
What are the trouble codes? Note that a flashing check engine light means you should stop driving the vehicle immediately to avoid major damage.
@chucktobias I apologize for not getting back more promptly to you. It was a family members car and it ended up being the solenoid which needed to be replaced. They chose to go with a garage and got charged $275.
Could this be a missed diagnosis from the accident
Most likely. Inspect it carefully for damaged wires. Other than that you'll have to wait for the code to come back.
