20 Most Recent 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette Questions & Answers

'2002 ols seilette' That's the worst spelling of the model I have seen for a long time, it's written on the back of the vehicle. I fixed all the others as well and moved it from the Miscellaneous category to make model category. You need an auto electrician with a $5,000 pro grade scan tool computer to record what happens when you try to restart the car. It is likely to be a failing sensor, or even the ECM itself.

make sure battery is fully charged and how about checking and testing key or ignition cylinder for failure

Key remote. Page 2-10 of the owner's manual https://my.gm.com/content/dam/gmownercenter/gmna/dynamic/manuals/2002/oldsmobile/silhouette/2002_oldsmobile_silhouette_owners.pdf Must be a way from inside as well. It shows a button on the overhead console, nothing about it.

Could be a number of things but cam or crankshaft sensor come to mind. Any codes???

Visit the on-line store, known as reliable-store, they have the repair manuals. I'm sure you will get the solution of your problem. Best Manuals

No messaage of reduced engine power ? Your vehicle has electronic throttle control . Has four position sensors , two are located in the gas pedal ,an two in the throttle body . The PCM uses these sensor to know how much to open the throttle plate ,allowing more air into the engine . How did you read this code an where did you read it's definition at ? This is not a code for your vehicle . Some time cheap code readers get them wrong .

Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions: • Acceleration limiting--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the vehicle acceleration is limited. • Limited throttle mode--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the maximum throttle opening is limited. • Throttle default mode--The ECM will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position. • Forced idle mode--The ECM will perform the following actions: - Limit engine speed to idle by positioning the throttle position, or by controlling the fuel and spark if the throttle is turned off. - Ignore the accelerator pedal input. • Engine shutdown mode--The ECM will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator. 017 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensors Drive by Wire Function and diagnostics by Wells

You have two places to look for your Flasher relay. Start under the hood on the drivers side there is a Black Box open it and look inside there should be a label telling you what each one is. The Other is under the dash and will require some effert to locate. Suggest you have the replacement in hand to help you locate it.

Hope This Helps.

Remove the inner door panel screws, pry the clips and remove the panel, remove motor, replace with new one, and restore panel

Sure a back yard DIYER can do it , you just need to learn how the system works ! Is the A/C compressor kicking on when you turn it on ? Watch this The Trainer 40 When the compressor won compress Plus check out someother videos .

One of the forum sites I went to said it's for low coolant and that there is no indication in the owners manual.

Take note of any radio codes. If you don't know them, get a small or another 12v battery, a set of small jumper leads, connect the leads clips to the matching cables on the car at the battery. You are now supplying a small current in parallel. Using a buddy to hold the battery terminals away from the bodywork remove the negative first, then the positive. Remove battery and replace with new battery. Reattach positive terminal first then negative, then remove small jumper cables and it should have preserved your codes etc.
