Hi all, I have an 06 LSJ with roughly 40,000 miles on the clock.

Me and dad made our rounds throughout town today, then stopped at Autozone to buy a tire checker and some engine oil. When we come back out to the car, dad turns the key on and tries to start it. The starter just "bumps" a couple of times then the car stops to try to crank altogether. It gives a "low fuel" warning and the fuel gauge refuses to move.

So, I turn the key off and try it again. Same thing, except this time it saws "power steering" then "low fuel"? WTF?

After I turn the key off and wait a few seconds and then the Tach, Speedometer, and Fuel gauge "jump" a few millimeters.

So, I disconnected the negative battery cable, reconnected it, and tried it again. The same thing. Right now it's sitting at a local shop and I honestly have no clue as to what is going on. The OBD scanner is just giving an "error" and not giving me anything useful. Help.

 

Sounds like a dead battery. Did you try jumping it?

 

check the battery, and if that's good, maybe could be the starter

 

loose bolt on the starter

 

Yeah sounds like a acdelco pos battery lol

 

check your blinker fluid.

 

well you have to check the spindles on the flux capacitor first. Jesus man! Everyone knows that....newb....

 

No guys, this is no simply battery or starter thing.

The fuel gauge WILL NOT read. Is this relevant?

 

An OBD2 scanner should still be able to connect though. "error' sounds like it cannot connect. This really does sound like a battery issue. What makes you certain its not? Just trying to help you troubleshoot.

 

Changed the battery with no problem whatsoever.

I took a look and found that the PCM has some messed up connectors. Time to start straightening things out.

 

Well looks like u found the issue was going to say PCM cuz I had to replace mine because I had some similar problems

 

bad ground could also cause this. But sounds like u found the problem.
