Re: Service Engine Soon Light on 2000 Chevy Venture

Okay, I tightened my gas cap but the service engine soon light stayed on. I waited a couple of weeks and it didn't go off. So I took it to Auto Zone which someone suggested here in this forum. They said that it was a leak in the gas cap. They checked the gas cap and said that it looked fine. They turned off the service engine soon light and told me to come back if it came on again. It just came on again on Monday. I was told at Auto Zone that a gas cap is only around $10 but I still decided to take it back to the dealer since I am still under warranty plus the brakes keep squeeking.

The dealer has it now. The mechanic called me today and said that it was code "P0442" which he said was the gas cap. He also said that my brakes were almost like new which is what they told me last time too. Why do they keep squeeking when I stop? Then he told me that they did find that the right and left tye (spelling?) rods were loose so they were going to fix that for me. So, I'm supposed to pick it up after work today.

I just wanted to check here to make sure that the code "P0442" is for a leak in the gas cap. And also question why my brakes squeek if they are fine. And I have no clue what tye rods are, what are they for? (Obviously I am female, lol). Thanks for the help!
