No disrespect but I why not take it somewhere that can also read the code and know what it is and can sort it, who knows what damage you could be doing? Must be an independent garage close by? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Started with EML on. Code read and came back with coolant bypass valve N82 issue. Replaced valve and checked wiring for contamination.
