It didn't work, but do you remember me saying my brake light kept coming off and on? Well, while I was watching Steve disconnect the battery, I noticed a little resevoir...it said Brake Fluid on it and had a line on the side, I pointed out to Steve that there was only a scant amount of fluid in the bottom of thing...no where near the line. He looked at me rather appalled and said "That might be a problem" and left right then to AutoZone and got some brake fluid. Filled it up to the line...no more brake light!The code P0420 (Pea Zero Four Two Zero) is mentioned a bit here...might need a sensor changed or a catalyst.

I guess I am more worried about you guys riding around on bald tires Let's spend 120 $ on those and I'll gladly address that blasted check engine light.

Ha ha!
Ok, the other trouble code is for the CPS...the camshaft position sensor. This appears to possibly be an electrical problem (which may be related to our fuse blowing situation?)
Trouble code for it is P0340
But you're right, none of it seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Still, Chilton's explains how to fix 'em.

Good morning 2J.... Very romantic exchange there!
What kind of vehicle are you refering to with the codes?
Well now you know! ;o) Ain't auto mechanics fun?
