Why is my throttle control warning light on?

The connection between the gas pedal and acceleration is controlled by your truck's throttle. The amount of acceleration or throttle control is governed by a sophisticated computer system. Any disruption of the electrical signals will affect your vehicle's acceleration and cause the throttle control warning light to come on. If your throttle control light comes on go directly to Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair in Midland.

How do I fix a persistent traction control warning light?

Normally, when the traction control light comes on while driving it indicates the truck's traction control lost grip or traction going around a sharp curve or while driving on wet pavement. However, sometimes the traction control warning light will come on and stay on.

The best way to determine whether it was just a fluke or a real issue is to shut your vehicle off and turn it back on. If the light is off, then it was likely a temporary malfunction. If the light does not reset, come by Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair in Midland and let us fix it.

Why Is My Car's ABS Light On?

An Anti-Lock Braking System or ABS warning light on your dash indicates something in your truck's ABS needs to be checked out by a qualified mechanic. Your ABS is one of your most important safety systems. Do not ignore this warning light. Common issues are:

  1. Malfunctioning ABS module
  2. Low levels in the brake fluid reservoir
  3. Broken speed sensor
  4. The ABS system is not receiving power

Why does my truck keep saying the coolant level is low?

If a low coolant warning light is on do not continue to drive and go directly to the auto repair shop. It is simple and often inexpensive to fix at Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair. Waiting to get the problem resolved can result in high-cost engine repairs.

If the low coolant warning light continues to flash on, then there is a leak in the truck's cooling system. Coolant fluid can leak in several ways. First, external leaks from radiator hoses, second, connections between hoses, or lastly, from the radiator itself. Your truck's radiator cap may leak due to a faulty seal on the cap which can be easily resolved by a specialist at our shop in Midland.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I know this this the best place we have had our truck in any shop. They have done everything that we have asked them to do. The work they have done for us was clean with no hanging loose wire. While servicing our rear differential in our F350 they seen the gears noticed that the differential gears had irregular pattern on them and sent me pictures so I knew for my own eyes. They answered all our questions and I know they had to get tired hearing our calls but they answered them.

I can’t say enough good things about this shop. They were honest with me from day one and treated me with respect throughout the entire repair process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed, and never made me feel pressured or taken advantage of. What stood out the most was how understanding and genuinely helpful everyone was. They knew how stressful it was to be without my truck, and they went above and beyond to answer my questions and make sure I felt comfortable with every step. It’s rare to find people who care as much about their customers as they do.

I am certainly glad I found this Shop, Jason, Brandon, Dustin and Amanda are amazing people. I took my truck in for repairs, and I told Jason that I wanted it checked out from front to back and top to bottom and everything fixed and that's exactly what he did, I was always informed of what was going on with it over there! I had a choice whether or not to buy a new truck or invest in repairing mine and after talking with a couple of my friends that buy a new truck every two years the choice was simple to me. After asking Jason every question in the book, he delivered an answer that made me comfortable with moving forward.... To anyone else over there that put your hands on my truck all I can say is thanks to you too. TOP NOTCH FIRST CLASS THESE FOLKS KNOW THEIR STUFF!!!!!!!!!
