Hi. I've spent some time searching and looking over posts on these issues, so I know the gist and that these are fairly common problems. Just can't find the answer to a few of my questions.
After swapping over to my winter tires in the fall, next morning I got the suite of warning lights (tire pressure monitor issue, hill start assist problem, ACC problem, etc.). I had to fight a little with one of the tires to get it off, but not that much. Not sure if that threw something off. Other than the warning lights, and the fact that things like ACC and lane departure warnings don't work, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the car (I have power steering, and the car seems to drive fine). No indication the battery is low, but I haven't tested it.
First time I tried my AC this summer, it blew warm. It was fine last summer.
With the pandemic, and very little driving, I didn't bother to make an appointment with the dealer until recently. But they couldn't get me in for a month. I made the appointment, but I'm thinking of going on a bit of a road trip. So a few questions:
1) Is it at all likely that there's a problem beyond the sensing suite? I'm working under the assumption that now I've simply got a "normal" old-school car, without any of the fancy brake assist stuff, but that it runs fine and is perfectly safe. Certainly seems that way when I drive it. Could I be missing something here?
2) Is there any way to use cruise control without ACC under the current situation? I've searched around, and found the method for turning ACC off and running in "cruise mode", but to get there it seems like I have to start cruise using ACC. Can non-ACC cruise be turned on while ACC is malfunctioning?
3) Is there anything I can try to check/fix the air conditioning or sensing? Even something with a low probability of success (and no real chance of screwing things up or voiding warranty)? Ordinarily I'd just wait for the dealer, but I'd really like to have air and cruise for the trip.
Thanks.
