My torrent won't shift out of park and the back hatch will not open what do I do
Do you know how to test automotive electrical systems ? Know what a wiring diagram is ? How to use a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter ? If not your best bet mite be to have a qualified repair shop check it out.
Your vehicle has a safety system that won't allow it to be taken out of park if the driver isn't pushing on the brake pedal . Could be the brake switch is bad , do the brake lights work ? Or the lock solenoid that keeps gear selector from moving could be bad or wiring problem .
Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control Description and Operation
The automatic transmission park lock control system is a safety device that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the engine is running. The driver must press the brake pedal before moving the park lever out of the PARK position. The system consists of the following components:
• The automatic transmission park lock solenoid (serviced as the automatic transmission shift lock actuator), located within the floor shift control assembly with vehicles equipped with floor shift.
• The body control module, which controls the voltage supply circuit of the park lock control solenoid.
• The engine control module.
The body control module controls the voltage to the park lock control solenoid through the park lock control solenoid controlled voltage circuit. The following conditions must be met before the body control module will supply voltage to the park lock solenoid:
• The ignition is in the ON position.
• The engine control module sends an input via GMLAN serial data to the body control module indicating the transmission is in the PARK position.
• The body control module determines the brake pedal is applied according the brake pedal position.
Since the park lock control solenoid is permanently grounded, the body control module supplies voltage to the automatic transmission park lock control solenoid, unlocking the park lever allowing the driver to move the park lever out of the PARK position as the solenoid de-energizes. When the brake pedal is not applied, the body control module turns the control voltage output of the park lock control solenoid OFF, energizing the park lock control solenoid. The energized solenoid mechanically locks the park lever in the PARK position.
During remote start operation, the body control module will energize the park lock control circuit, locking the park lever in the PARK position.
The rear hatch could be just as complicated .
Rear Hatch/Gate Description and Operation
The liftgate can be opened by operating the switch on the instrument panel. Battery voltage is supplied to the liftgate actuator through the body control module (BCM). The BCM will pulse the liftgate actuator when a release input is received through the key fob, or the instrument panel switch.
Vibe wiper relay location
The wiper relay in a Pontiac Vibe is located in the under hood fuse box. With the ignition in the ON position, accessory voltage is supplied through the 25A WPR fuse to the WIPER relay, the WIPER HI relay and the WSH relay that are all located in the underhood fuse block.
Which wire is the main hot for the power windows door switch 2003 Pontiac vibe
The main hot wire for the power window door switch on a 2003 Pontiac Vibe is the yellow wire. This wire carries 12 volts of power from the fuse box to the power window switch. When you press the power window switch, the switch sends a signal to the window motor, which causes the window to move up or down.
Here is a table of the wire colors for the power window door switch on a 2003 Pontiac Vibe:
Wire Color
Description
Yellow
Main hot wire
Green
Window down wire
Black/red
Window up wire
I hope this helps!
2007 Pontiac G6 car won't start
Could be a bad fuel pump, possibly a clogged fuel filter. Are there any lights on the dash such as the security light? There are several possibilities, but with it running out of fuel I think I would start by making sure there is fuel pressure at the engine. The pump is encased inside of the tank and the returning fuel is what keeps it cool. With it running out of fuel there is a good chance it might be no good now.
2003 pontiac grand am gt....'track off" light is
it means that you're traction control is disabled. You are now able to spin tires/burn out. If you do not want to do that, locate the button to turn it back on... usually it just says TRAC on the button, usuallly located towards the bottom of the dash.
Where is the trac on and off button located?
The traction off and on button is on the center face of the dash, justabove the radio and is the left button, the right button is your emergency flashers. It says ETS on the button.
Where is the knock sensor located on a firebird 3800v6 engine
Its' located on the passengers side of the engine, i noticed mine doing an oil change its just under the sparkplug ,and theres an oval shaped cut out to remove it it is a very small amount of room so best bet is to use a lift, ive tryed to remove mine with a floor jack, not a good idea, id take it to a mechanic shop on get it on a lift somehow.
