Found that code very easily on Google. Is is a transmission code in relation to the TCC (torque converter clutch). Could be a lack of maintenance, burnt fluid or debris in the fluid. Could also be a bad TCC solenoid or another internal trans issue. You will more than likely need to visit a qualified transmission repair facility unless you are good with trans internals.

P0894 Chevrolet Description

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the difference between engine speed and transmission output speed. In D3 drive range with Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) engaged, the engine speed should closely match the transmission output speed. In D4 drive range, with the TCC engaged, the TCC slip speed should be -20 to +50 RPM.

This is a common problem with a 4L60E automatic. It can be traced to valve body bore wear in the lockup circuit, or the lockup valve in the pump housing. Usually occurs with high mileage vehicles.These one or both valves can be repaired or fixed without removing the transmission. See a REPUTABLE transmission shop. The most it could require is a rebuilt (remachined) valve body. They ream and install a oversize valve. There also is a lockup valve for the pump with a teflon sealing ring that can be bought for less than $50. Directions are on the internet on how to install it by removing the pan. See Sonnax.com for the kit. Try the pump valve $50 first. The cheapest.

SOURCE: chevy trailblazer check engine light

P0128 is coolant operating temperature operating too low. This can be contributed to the Thermostat stuck open or faulty electronic radiator fan clutch. This is common, I had the same issue and replaced the thermostat and fan clutch and had the clutch re-programmed (required) at the dealer. As for the P0410, check the air pump fuse, if blown it will set this code on. Also check the air pump hoses for water and cracks. Hopefully this helps!!

SOURCE: what can cause the check engine light for a bank 1

What have the repair shops and dealer diagnosed so far? And what have they done to "fix" the problem? A lean condition sometimes is caused by a vacuum leak in the intake.

Abslight stays on. How to fix? This is a2007trailblazer?

First you need to have EBCM - electronic brake control module check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's . If the light is on there is a code stored . I think most part stores can do this and for free . After you find out what code is stored , looking up that code in service repair information for diagnostic trouble shooting chart would be next step . There are a few codes too.
DTC C0035 or C0040
DTC C0045 or C0050
DTC C0110
DTC C0131
DTC C0161
DTC C0186
DTC C0196
DTC C0201
DTC C0240
DTC C0241 or P0856
DTC C0244 or P1689
DTC C0245
DTC C0283
DTC C0287
DTC C0290 or C0292
DTC C0455
DTC C0550
DTC C0558

Find the code do the diagnostic's , fix the problem , wiring issue's , a sensor , bad module ,what ever it is . The light will go out then . Here is a sample of code discription .
• DTC C0035 Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit
• DTC C0040 Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit

Have 2 check engine light on 1with arrow pointing down & regular check engine

the light with the arrow might be a low coolant level check the over flow bottle and the rad coolant level. the other light is for when the PCM detects a problem and sets a code and turns on the light. check for a code in the PCM, it could have come on when the other light came on.

Check engine light gas smell

Use an OBD II testing equipment to search for trouble codes. The burning smell can be from lubricant oil or a burnt out gasket.

2005 Chevy Trailbrazer. Check engine light and check gauge lights have come on. Now there is a ticking noise coming from under the at idle and while driving!

take to a parts store, advance auto, etc., have them pull up trouble shooting codes from ECM, these codes , could be more than one, will pin point your problems. when engine light stays on , its storing codes, and these need addressed asap. as far as that ticking noise, get out might be a bomb, just kidding

Check engine light

A computer scan of the car should point you to the problem in the cruise control, or whatever it is. When the engine light goes on, it should store a trouble code. Many national parts stores do free scans for trouble codes.

I have a 2002 Trailblazer and it goes dead at stop signs,etc. Also, upon idling, floods and goes dead when the a/c is turned on. Don't know if relay, map sensor or fuel pump. Sometimes the gas gauge...

drive the truck or van to advance auto parts store near you and have them check the OBD II code sensor to see if you get any codes at all. Usually your check engine light should come on by your dash but if you have a short too that this might not come on. Also usually have autozone or advance auto parts check your altinator and battery out first when you are there. I think that the wires might be shorting out things by your engine that is causing this problem.

Service engine light on trailblazer, 79,000 miles, all gauges fine

The check engine light is a warning for a myriad of trouble codes2_bing.gif. Take the car to a local auto parts store and ask them to use their OBD2 scanner to read the trouble code. Once they do that, they will look up the code description and give you ideas on how to make the repairs. It is usually a free service of the auto parts store

2006 trailblazer i6 engine has the trouble code Po601 does anyone know what it means? .. i think its the P.C.M. but im not sure. thanks

It's a very strange code. It shows up in the generic "all manufacturer" code list as "P0601 Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error"
Here's a complete list and you can see the GM specific codes on that site as well.
