EVAP System (Gross Leak ) PO455

Should be easy to find
That is the largest of leak codes

you need to check the battery in the key fob remote . If the battery are good . the remote will need to be tested to make sure it is capable of transmitting (only place i know that can test them is the dealer ship but you could call your local parts store to see if they can test). If the the remote test good then it will have to be reprogramed or relearn to the truck .I belive if it needs to be relearned or programed you will need to have that done at a shop with a proper scan tool .

check for loose connections on seatbelt stem and under the seat - wires on floor but also under the seat itself. That sensor detects people sitting on seat.

Is the check engine light coming on the dash.If yes,then did you got the car scanned.If not? then get the car scanned.At autozone service center its absolutely free to get car scanned.Once the car is scanned,so it will give the codes , and as per error codes the faulty part can be easily replaced.But if the check engine light is not coming on then,the gmc canyon stalls at idle, in this case the IAC valve has to be checked.The iac valve located on the throttle body has to be cleaned and checked.If still the same problem then IAC valve has to be replaced. --------------- Throttle body cleaner and a tooth brush. make sure you clean around the valve area real well. Remove the intake, and 4 bolts hold the TB( throttle body) on. You need to remove the whole thing. Remove the intake, including the vortec bo. Once that is gone you will see 4 bolts holding the TB in. Remove those. Very carefully remove the plus from the TB. You will then have the whole thing removed. Very carefully clean the whole thing with throttle body Cleaner, rags, and a toothbrush. make it look like its polished and then reassemble.You can get throttle body cleaner at local auto part store.---------- This should help.Keep updated.Thanks.Helpmech.

You can get complete factory shop manuals from a company called HELM INC they print them for most car companys . There about fifty dollars you may need 2 chevy generaly has two books for a complete set but this is far less then the dealer would charge you . I know i bought mine from the dealer and it cost me over 3 hunderd www. helminc.com

need to replace blower switch

Hi, have you checked the alternator? Voltage should be at least 14 volts at battery with engine running. If not, or you don't have a voltmeter, remove the alternator and take to parts store for testing.
Thanks for using FixYa.

the only thing that I can think of doing is to open up the zerk fitting ( bleeder ) and trying to force the inner pad inward ( which will compress the piston and release the pressure ). I hate to suggest a big flat blade screw driver to use as a lever, but there is not much room in there to do the compression. try and be careful not to mark/nick up the disk as this will/can cause pre-mature pad wear. if both sides are locked up -- just repeat the same step on both sides. after things get freed up it will be important to figure out why so much pressure is building up in the brake lines,, you might try and flush brand new fluid all the way through the lines and see if that fixes the problem.

IN TRUNK UNDER SPARE TIRE

what is your complaint?

This usually happens because we use key fabs/remotes but occassionally we do still need to use the locks to prevent the locks from corroding and seizing up. You can spray a graphite lubricant into the lock and working the key into the lock.There is a product called locklube which should be available at your local auto parts vendor.You spray it into the lock lube and work the key in the lock. If this process does not work the lock may need to removed and replaced or rebuilt.

Not that I know of, but I feel your pain. I use pliers to compress the spring and then put needlenose visegrips on the cable to hold it back. Then slip it in the slot. Does this make sense?

Sounds like your security system is cutting out the starter circuitry, unfortunately if the security module is going bad it may only test bad when it is causing the problem, this is a sure sign of the alarm cut off, perhaps you need to have an alarm specialist check out the vehicle, sometimes you cut out the middleman if you take it directly to an auto alarm security installers facility, check the yellow pages for info in your area. And be sure you bring both remotes if you have them.
Use an alarm company that sells and installs the same alarm that is in your car, if yoyu are having trouble finding any of this information visit the dealership where you bought the vehicle and ask who they use for this repair.
I hope this works, i would try to take care of this soon as the vehicle may shut down one day and leave you stranded in a place God forbid you may not want to be in.
Happy Motoring!!

There are some possibilities which you will have to check in this case:--
1) First of all check the power and voltage to the battery.with meter it will show exact 12 volt if the battery is charged.if the voltage is less get the battery charged at local auto repair shop.if the battery is internally drained and not getting charged then its time to replace the battery.
2) When you crank the truck do you see spark coming at the spark plug? if no then its time to check the spark plugs and coil pack.if the spark plugs are not worn out and looks new then its time to check coil pack.the spark plugs gets power to spark from coil pack.
3) The other thing to check in this case is the starter solenoid of the truck.
If the battery is charged and you start the truck then it gives power to the starter to start the truck .but if starter is faulty or not connected properly then truck will not start.
4) The other thing to check in this case is fuel in the truck .if there is fuel in the truck then check the blockages in the fuel pump if the fuel pump looks proper then check the fuel filter above the fuel pump.
5) If all the above possibilities mentioned above checked out OK/perfect then its a electrical issue and the wiring's in the truck needs to be checked.the truck gets power from the battery to get started.so the wires from battery needs to be checked one by one.


Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

I don;t think anyone will have good answer here since all your signals comes thru computers. There is no fuse for this. Unless you have something else in the lighting system inadvertantly turned on then it is going to have to be diagnosed using a bidirectional scan tool. You should have a code stored in the body control module that will help in the direction your going to have to go.
