yes a low or defective battery will cause the alarm to go off, if the battery was low chances are it is starting to fail, replace it before it strands u..

Disconnect the negative battery cable for 10 minutes, reconnect, turn key to on position for 10 seconds,it should reset and run ok.

no it would not be the timing belt making a rattling noise it couldn possible be you heat shield around your break rotor it could be someting having to do with ur suspenion like a spring maybe what kind of rattling noise? or a regular heat shield but loose in that particular area

I did some quick "googling" because I wanted to see if there was any relevant info for you and it looks like 2,400lbs is your limit .. I found this info quite extensively here

It is likely that where the wiper arm is attached to the linkage  it is either loose or stripped.

The fuel pump has its own filter/screen regardless of make and model.Yours will be the bolted (high pressure)aluminium type closer to the fuel tank.

There is a chance that the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) in the trans is bad. The ECM (computer) needs to know how fast the vehicle is moving, and what load it's under in order to adjust engine RPM and consequently emission controls, trans shift points, etc. Hope this helps.

I suspect that the tire is old and the steel belts are failing. Pull the wheel off and check the tire for cracks in the tread, any out of round or bulges. Get a new tire (or tires).

those are not codes those show that you didnt read instructions completely on the use of your scan tool those show that their are codes present depending on unit you either hit next or codes or enter rescan vehicle and continue to next page when those show up

No - bleeding can be done well statically. Use a bleed tool to help get it right. After complete - check vacuum lines to master cylinder for cracks or leaks.

The 2007 is very similar to the 2005, which has the DRL box behind the glove compartment, at the top center. It's clearly marked DRL.

Start with the simple stuff: is the exhaust system fully supported? Harder stuff: check for ... * loose rear suspension components (unlikely) * prop shaft U-joint wear (also unlikely) * rear transmission support blocks
