The noise could be caused by too much rotor runout, the rotors might have thickness variation, brake parts could be loose (improperly torqued), and/or bushings could be worn. If you request a vehicle noise diagnostic - brake noise, the responding...
The Cruise Control indicator light is located on the instrument panel. Whenever you set the cruise control speed, the Cruise Control indicator light will illuminate.
Hi there. The alarm should not affect the use of the key to unlock and lock the driver's door. The linkage from the door lock cylinder to the door latch assembly must be disconnected. A fairly common failure, is the...
You didn't indicate the age of the battery. If the battery is "new" (less than 2.5 years old) and passes a load test, you should check for parasitic loads. With all car accessories off and key out of the ignition,...
This may suggest a weak battery or potentially a faulty starter solenoid. Although, a faulty starter solenoid is possible, the fact that you are able to get it started without any trouble by jumping suggests that the starter solenoid may...
Hello. Overheating rotors are usually caused by one of two things. It may be possible that the rotors are excessively worn, and are too thin to handle the heat generated when braking. This is more likely if the rotors have...
Hello. If the key will not turn in the ignition, then either the key is bad or there is a problem with the key lock cylinder. Most of the time, this is caused by a failure in the key lock...
In order to properly bleed the ABS brakes on this vehicle you will need to have a scanner that can put the ABS into bleed mode. This will open the valves in the ABS brake modulator so you can bleed...
Emissions testing provides several very useful functions for our daily lives. The combustion gases that come out of the tailpipes of our vehicles are comprised of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxygen...
Hi there. You are 100 percent correct about changing the location of the O2 sensor and it's negative impact on the ECU's ability to adjust on the fly to changing conditions. This is why I never recommend changing the location...
A transmission has many parts both mechanical and electronic. If your transmission is making noises, it is going to need internal work done to it. A rebuild will fix the issue with the transmission. As for the ABS Light being...
This is often a sign of low transmission fluid or a faulty transmission control solenoid. You may want to check to be sure the line was properly reconnected and that the transmission has not leaked any fluids. As you know,...
Hello, thank you for writing in. There are several components in the fuel system that will only be pressurized when the vehicle is running. The best way to find the leak is with a visual inspection. From there you can...
It is possible that your transmission mount could be worn out as well. I would recommend having the transmission mount checked by using a large pry bar to lift up on the transmission at that location. If the transmission will...
The transmission needs around 100 psi pressure to operate all of the forward gears, but it needs 180-190 psi pressure for the reverse gears. The transmission pump is designed to create 1000 psi of pressure and it is regulated...
The brakes dragging could be from several causes. A full service of any components, such as the booster or master cylinder could have not been adjusted properly when installed. It is also possible that the brake calipers are binding. I...
I would start by checking the coolant level to be sure it was refilled with the proper amount of coolant. Next check all radiator hoses to be sure none are leaking. Also, check to be sure the coolant fans are...
The B Positive terminal on the Alternator (the big one) should be linked to the battery via a cable that connects at the starter, so you shouldn't read a voltage difference between the Alternator and the battery positive terminal. You...
Diagnostic Trouble Code P0420 has many, many potential causes including a damaged muffler or leaks in the muffler, damaged exhaust manifold or leaks in the exhaust manifold, damaged exhaust pipe or exhaust pipe leaks, misfiring in the engine, oil contamination...
You say you are getting battery power and ground to the fuel pump but the pump is not coming on? If this is the case, then the pump connector is bad. There is a technical bulletin that the connector should...
Hi Dewayne. I've cc'd the sales and service department on this reply, as they are better qualified to answer the specifics of this question. They should be contacting you via email directly for clarification.
Hi, thanks for writing in. This is a cooling system problem which can be caused by a variety of things, but most commonly is related to a faulty or sticking thermostat or potentially a bad cooling fan relay causing the...
