[img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]I hate to admit that I''ve been driving around for weeks with the "Service Engine Soon" light on. It stays on with the "Trac Off" light. What could this mean? Also it''s really weird, but whenever I hit a bump my "Anti-lock" light and the "Check Vehicle Soonn" light comes on. What does all of this mean? Can anyone give me a clue? My husband not a handy man and I want to get this checked out before winter!

Sounds like its probably a wheel bearing. Go to an Autozone and get the codes read then post the results here.

I went to Auto Zone and I got two codes...


P0442 and P0141....The guy said my fuel cap was bad, so I bought a new one. He said I need a new oxygen sensor. Does this sound right????

Yes and its the downstream o2 sensor, the one after the catalytic converter.
