Hope help.

It sounds like you need a scan tool that will access all of the modules in your car. The traction and ABS codes will be stored in the ABS control module. As far as the miss, it should be in the ECU and accessible from any general scan tool.

If you had the car scanned with a generic OBDII code reader (Which is what they use at all the parts stores) this is probably why it is not showing any codes. You have "Vehicle Specific" codes. This means that the problem with your Check Engine light is not a problem that will generate a "generic" OBD code. A generic OBD code reader will not read codes from your Antilock Brake System or your Traction Control System at all... You need to have it scanned professionally by someone who has the proper equipment and software to access the Controller Area Network (CAN) in your vehicle.

coolant fan sensor

Were metallic brake pads installed? If they were and are hidhly aggressive, yes. Give them a few miles to smooth out.

hi! there,
click noise on front wheel may also evident in
the suspension system when driving,these noises maybe produced by the springs and shock absorbers may either be a rattling noise or squeaks,Noises produced are usually caused by looseness of the parts, tightness of the parts and lack of lubricant.

have a nice day,don't forget to rate me ,thank's

FUSE IS PROBLEM CHECK IT

Interior Lights Circuit Description By using a feature called inadvertent power control, the body control module (BCM) supplies power to all of the following components: • The courtesy lamps • The dome lamps • The rear view mirror reading lamps • The instrument panel compartment lamp • The rear compartment lamp The left front door ajar switch turns the interior lamps on through the BCM by grounding CKT 394. When the left front door is open, the switch is closed. This condition provides a ground and a door open input to the BCM. The BCM then grounds the following lamps through CKT 156 in order to turn the lamps on: • The courtesy lamps • The dome lamp • The rearview mirror lamps The right front door ajar switch and the rear door ajar switches turn the interior lamps on by grounding CKT 395 from the BCM. When the ignition key is removed from the lock cylinder, the interior lamps remain on for approximately 40 seconds. The BCM provides an interior lamps-on delay after a door is opened. The lamps remain on for approximately 40 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The 40 second lamps-on delay reduces to 4 seconds if a door is opened within 2 minutes of the ignition switch being moved from the ON position. The interior lamps immediately turn off when the vehicle begins to move. The dome lamp OFF-DOOR-ON switch controls the dome lamp. When the switch is in the OFF position, the dome lamp remains off. When the switch is in the DOOR position, the dome lamp lights when a door is opened by the BCM grounding CKT 156. When the switch is in the ON position, ground is supplied through CKT 750. The rear view mirror reading lamps are controlled by the rear view mirror reading lamps switch or through CKT 156 from the BCM. Voltage is supplied at all times to the BCM through the INT LPS fuse. The BCM supplies voltage to the interior lamps through CKT 1732. Battery Run Down Protection When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, the BCM turns off the power to all of the interior lamps after 18-22 minutes. The BCM will reset the inadvertent power control relay output when one of the following actions is performed: • Open or close a door. • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. • Turn off any interior lamps that may be on. • Press the power door lock switch/keyfob button. • Press the decklid release keyfob button. Courtesy or Dome Lamps Always On Step Action Yes No 1 Did you perform the Lighting Systems Diagnostic System Check? YES - Go to Step 2 NO - Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems 2 Use the Scan Tool in order to command the courtesy lamps OFF. Do the courtesy lamps turn OFF? YES - Go to Step 4 NO - Go to Step 3 3 Test for a short to ground in the courtesy lamps control circuit (156). Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? YES - System OK NO - Go to Step 7 4 Test for a short to ground in each door jamb switch circuit: • Circuit 394-Driver door • Circuit 395-Passenger door(s). Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? YES - System OK NO - Go to Step 5 5 Test each door jamb switch for proper operation. Refer to the following: • Open switch with the door closed • Closed switch with the door open Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find a malfunctioning door jamb switch? YES - Go to Step 6 NO - Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems 6 Replace the malfunctioning door jamb switch. Refer to Door Jamb Switch Replacement in Doors. YES - Is the repair complete? NO - System OK -- 7 Important: Perform the set up procedure for the body control module. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration . Replace the body control module. Refer to Body Control Module Replacement in Body Control System. Did you complete the replacement? System OK Instal the door jamb switch wire harness. Install the door jamb switch (2).

check the crankshaft sensor for output

any warning lights on?

is there a question here? Haven't seen one so far

Have you bled the power steering? Jack up front so both front wheels are off the ground. start and warm up turn wheel from stop to stop slow until squeak stops make sure you keep filling it as you go. This may take a lot of turns. Let me know if this helps Mike

not working on dim ???? Low beams ?

The service engine light does not affect the abs.You most likely have a broken wire in your abs system which is affected by suspension movement.A code reader which does abs codes will tell you which wheel circuit is turning on the abs light.When there is no abs available the track will turn off.

It could be the actual switch maybe???
