Your car should have a self diagnostic connector with a LED & pushbutton.

Depress the button with the key on for 3 seconds...that blink code will help with diagnosis.

Oops..........you stated code 17......means nothing by itself.

You need a scanner to read the other 4 computers on the CAN network.

1 of those computers hold the key to the problem.
