It can take a while for that to go away, If it was not the gas cap then it wont go away, autozone could have cleared the code and it would have gone away. You can clear the code by removing the fuse for the ecm or unhooking the battery, otherwise it may take 3 to 7 starting cycles to reset.
I would assume you have the same problem I did, where the plastic header is cracking. I put some stop leak in the radiator, and that worked for a while but then the crack got so big it wouldn't seal. I tried epoxy over the crack and melting the crack closed but it still cracked back open. Ended up just changing the radiator and I made a video showing how I did it.
Hi Dennis, The link below is a short youtube video on how to test your battery... Also you can take your car to a machanic for a free battery test.....CHEERS..

Could be a broken joint between the muffler and the exhaust pipe.
Could be a loose coupler on the exhaust pipe .
you could get it checked at an exhaust service center where they can hoist car up and look under the car and give you a report on iys cause and likely cost to fix.
It's probably the driveshaft on the other wheel. More than likely the coupling in the constant velocity joint/universal joint has broken. However, check the splined end on the end of the shaft first - look for damage or stripped teeth
Be safe: Check the level of your brake fluid first. It may well be that you have low brake fluid.
If your brake fluid level is okay suspect the switch activated by the parking brake. And also be aware, that it can take a few seconds for that brake light to extinguish after start up..
Hi Kris:
I'd start by soaking them with penetrating oil like loosen-all or a similar product, and if time permitted, leave them for a minimum of 2 hours.
Two of a mechanics friends are heat and air impact tools.
- applying heat to a bolt will lengthen it, thus reducing the tension, and, if lok-tite had been used, the heat will release the bond. So, some heat can't hurt provided there are no flammable fluids or parts handy, and you don't heat or damage any nearby seals.
- Use a six sided socket, and an air impact wrench. make sure you start turning it in the remove direction or it may shear off
Alternate............ Heat, penetrating oil, air impact.
Should work.
If you don't have air, you can apply some heat and oil, then try the six point socket, and flex bar.
Hope this helps.

I would look at the wiring, I have had many issues with Hyundai wiring. Usually the heat gets to the insulation and it becomes brittle and cracks, then falls off and creates a short in the wiring.
Made a video of me changing a brake light but I show how to remove and install the tail light assembly. It's also on a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe but should be the same.
remove wiper blades and lower windscreen cover drainage pipes should be in far left and right corners also make sure that water is not coming from heater matrix
THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR IS A LOOSE ROTOR AND SHOULD COME OFF EASILY. IF NOT, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE ROTOR IS HELD BY RUST ONTO THE HUB OR THE BRAKE SHOES IS STILL EMBEDDED INTO THE ROTOR. REMOVE THE HANDBRAKE CABLE TO ENSURE THAT THE BRAKESHOES COLLAPSE AND TRY TO LOSEN IT AGAIN. IF SEASED ONTO THE HUB BY RUST, KNOCK THE ROTOR WITH A COPPER HAMMER TO BRAKE THE RUST WITH A RUST REMOVER.
