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 was in a bind on a cross country road trip and this place really turned the tides. Had two shops back to back leave me with a mess and frustration to fix on a 2005 Chevy 3500 Duramax turbo replacement til I found this place. Gave them as much info as possible to help gain a full picture of the status of the vehicle, and handed them the keys. First, they stunned me with volunteering to pay for a ride to the car rental lot. Next, sent a very thorough vehicle report and delivered a clear phone call with recommendations, further diagnosing some things I had not been able to and helping me understand the process. Got everything back in short order and hit the road. I am genuinely happy with the services rendered here and am reporting on a healthy truck that has handled considerable miles and grades across the country since. The Hale's are educated professionals at running their business, and their mechanic at his trade here. I also received a follow-up phone call checking to make sure things were going well. Thanks again.
