Re: sts fail?

What year/trim do you have? Did it give you the actual code number?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: sts fail?

Seems like STS FAIL would be a message from your scanner, not the car.
As in, it is unable to run bi-directional controls test or an EVAP system self test for whatever reason.


What kind of scanner are you using, anyway?

Status fail?

So STS probably means something like "Self Test Status"?
