Problems with Daewoo Lanos
Hi,
I have a 2000 Daewoo Lanos SX (they went defunct shortly after I bought it). The car has been a real gem of a car. Starts first try even in subzero temps, I live in southern New Brunswick, Canada and it gets mighty cold in the winter. I'm sorry I am rambling. We have no real dealer here and when it requires misc parts, ie, oil filters and the like, we have been getting them from the Chev dealer as their Aveo has the same engine, I believe. Now the other day, the check engine light came on and we put the OBD reader on it and it showed the code PO 342 (cam sensor low input). We bought a new one from Chev and my husband put it in and it is still reading the same code and the check engine lite is still on. Anyone know of a solution especially for a DIYselfer? I appreciate any help anyone can offer. |

Problems with Daewoo Lanos
Not all problems are fixed by throwing parts at them. In this case the
problem might have been fixed by cleaning the contacts or the part itself. I am not familiar with the vehicle so I don't know for sure. I suspect that you have to clear the trouble code now, in addition to fixing the problem. The OBD reader may be able to do this, the Chevy dealer might have a more advanced diagnostic that can do it, or in a pinch you can disconnect the vehicle battery for a few seconds. That will cause you to lose your radio preset channels perhaps.
