Bought used in 2019. Not a Honda or a Toyota, a Dodge Grand Caravan. Given how many examples of the previous Caravan body type I still see on the roads (at least 17 years old), I think I will have it for at least 4 more years. It runs well and I keep it maintained.
It’s only annoying quirk is that the “check engine” light comes on for a few days whenever we have a lot of rain and high humidity.
Aaaaand, the check engine light is off again.
Get a code reader and see what’s shorting… possibly something has corroded and the moisture is enough to cause a short. Could be a tps sensor… could be something critical.
It’s been doing this for years. The nearest Dodge dealership can’t find anything wrong with it.
Electrical diagnosis is an entirely different beast. Your local dealership probably doesn’t have someone capable as technicians these days are part swappers. Better luck at a reputable shop with an older tech.
What’s codes came up?
I have no idea what codes come up. I am not a mechanic and don’t have the equipment to check.
Basic code readers aren’t that expensive, or difficult to use. But value wise it’s probs better to pay a modest fee to a shop to get them to pull the codes. That takes like 5 minutes and they probably have the expensive readers that can print the results.
