2002 Chevrolet Avalanche - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

• engine dead?
• car can not drive.?
• battery dead
• fuse blown
• starter dead
• jumper cable starts work?

Clean your throttle body and maybe even your mass air flow (if you use a K&N filter).

Disconnect the shifting cable from the transmission. With the rear tires off the ground, manually shift the transmission selector into the gears to see if the problem is in the shifter cable assembly. Depending on what chev you have, you may have a kickdown cable on the throttle assembly that is not adjusted properly.

Shift solenoids

First check for fuel and Spark. Also check for the security light flashing in the dashboard. The immobilizer system will kill the spark and fuel injectors

Does the vehicle start an run ? Check engine light on , codes are stored , hook up scan tool an check codes . GM had issues with instrument cluster gauges not working - new instrument cluster . Does everything else on the vehicle work - headlamps , heater / A/C blower motor etc....

This video is on a 2003 silverado which is similar to the avalanche. This may be of some help to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJJNsysuKjA

Get a new rod clip at any auto parts store. Look for the broken clip at the bottom of the tailgate and take it with you to match it up.

1- You have to check the transmission oil level. (Engine running in the park or neutral. ) 2- Retrieve transmission trouble code with a scanner. 3- Depends on what code you have 4- Find out if your problem is electrical or mechanical or hydraulic. 5- It could be the 3-4 solenoid, 3-4 shift valve stuck inside valve body..........and so on. 6- At the cluster display the PRNDL display all lights state = on. If not the PRNDL switch on the side of transmission water intrusion. I believe you need a good Technician if you don't find it. There are so many things. Hope it helps.

Is it this component? -

Is there a computer related code which I must enter via the radio ??? You don't enter anything through the radio !!!!! Having factory service repair info so you can read how the anti-theft system works an a scan tool to pull DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes is the proper way to diagnose . The theft deterrent system has been incorporated into the body control module (BCM). The theft deterrent is provided in order to prevent the vehicle operation if the correct key is not used in order to start the vehicle. The ignition key turns the lock cylinder. The cylinder rotation produces an analog voltage code in the Passlock™ sensor. This voltage code is received by the BCM. The BCM compares the voltage code to the previously learned voltage code. If the codes match, a class 2 message is sent from the BCM to the powertrain control module (PCM)/vehicle control module (VCM). The message enables the fuel injectors. The design of the Passlock™ system is to prevent vehicle theft by disabling the engine unless the ignition lock cylinder rotates properly by engaging the correct ignition key. The system is similar in concept to the PASS-Key® system. However, the Passlock™ system eliminates the need for a key mounted resistor pellet. The components of the Passlock™ system are as follows: • The ignition lock cylinder • The ignition switch • The Passlock™ sensor • The Body control module (BCM) • The security telltale • The vehicle/powertrain control module (VCM/PCM) Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

The Trainer 40 When the compressor won compress back lighting for a couple of the climate control dash board buttons are not working. ?????? wouldn't be a fuse , bulb probably . You would need to take the component apart to replace the bulb .

Maybe this will help Peter. I had to capture it in 2 pics because of screen size. The first one is the top half. The 2nd is the bottom with a bunch of the top included as a repeat.

you can get a wiring diagram by checking on a chevy blog . There are many harness diagrams that you can blow up and print

Is the Vehicle flex fuel ? What size engine ? Fuel Composition Sensor The fuel composition sensor (FCS), or flex fuel sensor (service parts term), measures the ethanol-gasoline ratio of the fuel being used in a flexible fuel vehicle. Flexible fuel vehicles can be operated with a blend of ethanol and gasoline, up to 85 percent ethanol. In order to adjust the ignition timing and the fuel quantity to be injected, the engine management system requires information about the percentage of ethanol in the fuel. The FCS uses quick-connect style fuel connections, an incoming fuel connection, and an outgoing fuel connection. The two connections have different diameters, to prevent incorrect attachment of the fuel lines. All fuel passes through the fuel composition sensor before continuing on to the fuel rail. The fuel composition sensor measures two different fuel related parameters, and sends an electrical signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) to indicate ethanol percentage, and fuel temperature. The fuel composition sensor has a three-wire electrical harness connector. The three wires provide a ground circuit, a power source, and a signal output to the PCM. The power source is vehicle system voltage, +12 volts), and the ground circuit connects to chassis ground. The signal circuit carries both the ethanol percentage and fuel temperature within the same signal, on the same wire. The FCS uses a microprocessor inside the sensor to measure the ethanol percentage and fuel temp, and change an output signal accordingly. The electrical characteristic of the FCS signal is a square-wave digital signal. The signal is both variable frequency and variable pulse width. The frequency of the signal indicates the ethanol percentage, and the pulse width indicates the fuel temperature. The PCM provides an internal pull-up to five volts on the signal circuit, and the FCS pulls the 5 volts to ground in pulses. The output frequency is linear to the percentage of ethanol content in the fuel. The normal range of operating frequency is between 50 and 150 Hertz, with 50 Hertz representing 0 percent ethanol, and 150 Hertz representing 100 percent ethanol. The normal pulse width range of the digital pulses is between 1 and 5 milliseconds, with 1 millisecond representing -40°C (-40°F), and 5 milliseconds representing 125°C (257°F). Don't think it will draw the battery down , But you never know with all this electronic stuff . You mite want to have the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's .

Go to online store reliable they have repair manuals I am sure you will get the solution. Here's the link

Fuel Pump or fuel filter will be my first guest. Did you pull any Codes from the truck already? Tony Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/tony_a41fa0b801734e2f

Assuming your fluid level is ok then I would suspect the master cylinder.

there is no up or down play in that yoke end of the transmission unless the bush there is worn out "U" joints may feel good but be worn out take it to a drive line shop and have the "u" joints replaced

I would ask Firestone what they did.
