Thanks for writing in about your 1999 Chevrolet Suburban. There are DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) that will indicate faults with TCC solenoid and brake pedal switch circuits. A scan tool can be used to observe brake pedal switch position while...
The lamps on reminder light is located on the instrument panel. When the lamps on reminder light is illuminated, that means that your lights are currently on. When you turn off all of your lights, the lamps on reminder light...
From what you describe it sounds like you have front wheel bearings that are noisey. They do not have to be loose to be noisey. Have the vehicle lifted and ran in drive to see if the noise can be...
If you notice that your vehicle’s outside temperature display is off by a few degrees, you can adjust it to a few different settings: roughly 5 degrees colder, or roughly 5 degrees warmer. To adjust the outside temperature display to...
Hello. If you are referring to the front cv axles they can have a small amount of play in them. The inner joint can have a small amount of in and out movement as well as some up and down...
Check the shifter cable to the transmission and see if it has broken off the transmission. The buzzing noise is the hydraulic fluid going around the main valve on the transmission and the valve is stuck in between a gear....
The noise could be brake related (including the pad wear indicator contacting the brake rotor if the pads are worn out) or suspension related. If the steering wheel shakes or vibrates that is typically due to tire imbalance although tire...
Hey there. Most likely the shift linkage or cable is worn, which is causing the gear selected to not match what the transmission is in. I recommend having the shift linkage checked by a mechanic like one from YourMechanic.com to...
Hi there. Unfortunately, there really is not an easy solution to this problem. Typically the rear seat is removed by loosing bolts in the trunk itself. You might be able to pull the cable to the trunk release with a...
As you may know, your car's AC system when working properly puts an extra load on the engine at all times when it is running. When this happens, your car's computer makes adjustments to compensate for this extra load on...
Hello. I would recommend checking the connections to (and potentially cleaning) the mass air flow sensor. This is a unit that monitors the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the motor. If this...
If your vehicle was built prior to April 2009, there is a TSB for this exact issue. When both of these codes appear simultaneously, it is the fault of the timing solenoids. The TSB states to replace the timing solenoids...
The exterior lights will stay on for a short time after you exit your vehicle and close the doors. You can adjust how long the exterior lights stay on before they automatically turn off with the following steps: 1. Turn...
Hi there. In most urban areas, if any code is set (or at least if any engine/transmission code is set) they will fail the inspection and send you back for repairs. In your case with the P0014 code, sounds like...
This may be obvious, but have you cleared the code with the scanner? If so, disregard that first sentence. Codes will not clear immediately after the repair. With an emissions system code, there is also a drive cycle to be...
Hi there. As long as you are not impeded by any negative side effects and you feel it is safe to steer your vehicle, you should be ok to continue driving your Hyundai until your appointment. Thanks for writing in...
Hey there. A possibility of the noise is lack of lubrication on the brake hardware. If you have rear disc brakes, it could be the pad(s) continuing to contact the rotor after you release the brakes which is due to...
Try rotating the tires to see if the tires have a small flat spot. If the noise moves to the front then replace the tires. If the noise stays in the back then have the brake rotors resurfaced or replaced...
It's possible that there was another problem that was not discovered when you first took the car in. It's also equally possible that there was an error made in the pump replacement. Slide a clean piece of paper or cardboard...
The first thing to check is to see if you have any kind of engine or transmission fluid leaks that the air conditioner could be drawing in the smell of the oils into the A/C air intake. If you have...
The advancetac service light refers to the vehicles traction control system. The traction control system monitors the steering and stability of the vehicle and engages when loss of traction has been detected. This is done by the use of electronic...
It is possible that the reason for the overheating is not related to the radiator being low on water. Overheating can be caused by a number of things such as low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, a clogged radiator or...
This is an indication that you have a major water leak or potentially a blown head gasket which is signified by the smoke and sluggish acceleration. This can happen when the car overheats and the cylinder head gasket is compromised....
Hi there: When the motor is running at operating temperature, and you remove the oil cap, it's common for a small amount of smoke to come from the engine. This is usually caused by exhaust gases, heat or gasoline vapor...
Hi Corinne. Thanks for contacting us today. Sometimes, this type of problem is an indication of a wheel bearing that is starting to wear. As the wheel spins, it will build-up heat and the noise can go away. However, over...
