89 buick reatta CRT

[Guest Beejuman]

I have been looking and maybe not looking deep enough on the forum but my CRT screen when you click on diagnostics and click on the different screens, i see that it says that the parking brake is engaged when its not it tells me that the passenger door is ajar and its not. Serveral other mesages like that too. Is there a way to reset the computer to clear those message? Is this a sign of the computer or something wrong? Or bad sensors? Any help would be appreciated or point me to posts of this already on here.

Welcome to the forum!!

You don't have all those problems. This will explain:

Why is diagnostics telling me I have so many problems?*-*ReattaOwner.com

This has happened to almost every one of us when we were new to the car.

Thanks Ronnie for pointing me to the link and Rawja to explain i wasnt alone when being a new owner of a Reatta. I was thinking why when it runs the diagnostics in the beginning and says everythings fine and i poke on diagnositics and then i see door ajar and the other ones and im like, 'WHAT?' Well wouldnt it have been more helpful for us to to say this is an example LOL... Thanks live and learn as they say.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Actually what you were viewing is a separate system from the Reatta on-board diagnostics system. The link below will tell you how to access the diagnostics system. You should take the time to learn how to use the diagnostic system. It is a Reatta owners best friend when you are experiencing problems. If you are a new owner I recommend you spend some time on my website. There is a lot of useful info there for Reatta owners.
