Squeeking noise

Hi and thanks for using 2carpros. Com

If the sound is coming from the engine compartment, most commonly it is related to an accessory belt. On your vehicle, there is one drive belt. It's called a serpentine belt. I attached a picture of it. What to do is take a small amount or water in a cup. Start the engine and while it is making the noise, pour a bit of the water on the belt. If it changes pitch or stops, you either have a worn / dried out belt or the belt tensioner is loosing tension.

Try that and let me know if that is the problem. Also, if it is something different, let me know aprox where the sound is coming from, if speed changes it, if turning changes it, braking. Anything you can think of.

If you find the belt tensioner is bad or the belt, here are the directions for replacement.
