06 Si error codes

silvertxsi · 06-27-2007, 12:05 PM

Hey Everyone, long time lurker - first time poster. I was on my way to work this morning and saw the yellow wrench show up on my dash and a 12 appeared down by my oil indicator. Tried the search and didnt get any hits ..

Anyone have any idea what a error code 12 might be?

Cheers

lol..thats not an error code. thats the maintance minder telling you you have 12% left of your oil life....it actaully should have come on at 15% though.
everyhting you need to know about that is in the owners manual.

It's time to change your oil

Get ready for some super dooper messy time.

Congrats on your first post, and welcome!

Follow what Nighthawksi said. However, if a mod pops in here and proclaims that the error code means you have 12 days left before mandatory activation, he's lying to you. He's also working for Microsoft.

silvertxsi · 06-27-2007, 12:35 PM

that's a good point, oil indicator percentage is a 15%.. first time I've ever let it get that low. I'll check the manual. RTFM.

Thanks,
-Brian

It may not be a 12% oil life minder. It may be maintenance minder 1 and 2.

**Yodums** · 06-27-2007, 02:39 PM

Is there a letter before the 12 or does it say oil life some where in there?

***Izzy*** · 06-27-2007, 02:48 PM

Yes, I believe he is due up for the tire rotation and minor service items. There's no "12" that I remember on the Oil Life meter. Especially since that wrench showed up.

When I was down to 5% oil was the only time I think I remember seeing the wrench turn on....

silvertxsi · 06-27-2007, 04:43 PM

yep, B12 (in the left hand corner opposite the oil indicator) went down and looked at it over lunch. sorry for the confusion.

I would have to agree that it's oil change time. The other items were checked when I had it in for the infamous clicking/popping sound coming from the clutch pedal that annoys the ever lovin $h!t out of me.

nnightingale · 06-27-2007, 04:49 PM

o yeah the sound probably means that you master cylinder is about to go!! Yeah that is what happened to me the other day. I am still waiting on mine because it is on back order for a 07 sedan si.

out of curiousity if the yellow wrench turns on and you do change your oil... will the wrench disappear and the oil life goto 100%??
or do you have to do something for the yellow wrench to disappear?

Hold the sel/reset button for ten seconds until it starts flashing then hold it again for 5 secs until it resets..

BAM oil life back at 100%
