2007 Pontiac Torrent FWD - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Probably the door light sensor. I fixed on on a Ford F250 on time doing the same thing. It fixed it. It's trial and error to know which one though. Unless you take everyone apart and unplug one at a time. It is behind the door latch on a Ford.

Probably a sensor. I would just drive it.

Check the output shaft speed sensor plug and wire on the transmission or replace output shaft speed sensor.

Battery Disconnect or Replacement Problems Dealer ! Chevy , Cadillac , Buick

Have you checked alternator input and output with a meter to see if it is getting to the battery ?

Check the fuses.

You have to determine whether its just thr brake parts rusted or the bearings in the rear end and axles. Drain the gear oil from the rear end to see if there's any water in it.If it seems ok then put new gear oil back in and try this: Jack both wheels off the ground and put it on jack stands. Try breaking it loose by rapidly changing gears from reverse to drive and stomp on the accelerator. If it breaks loose that way it will be easier to get to the brake parts to see what needs to be replaced.

Somewhere in the car must be an inperfect whire contact!

Bad crank/cam sensor will not set codes. Are you getting no spark to plugs? If you have spark, check for correct fuel pressure.

First you have to locate it. As you are looking down it should be to your left. From under the car you will have to take off the two or three bolts that hold it to the engine after you disconnect the power leads. MAKE SURE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY FIRST. Once you have the power leads off and the bolts loosened you take the starter out. Depending on how it sits in there you may have to turn the wheels one way or another to get it out. Then simple reverse the process with the new starter and you are ready to go.

Take it to an authorized repair shop to have it fixed. Trying to fix the problem yourself could cause damage to the body panels if you don't know how to remove them. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/scott_843b43f7ebebd3f5

Change Speedometer wire. it's may be damaged interenally.

Under the car the speedometer cable attaches to the transmission...usually on the drivers side. Check to make sure this is tight. If it still doesn't work you can detach it and run it connected to a drill and see it the speedometer is operating sporadically or smothly or at all, the cable may need to be replaced. It may also me that it has come loose where it attaches to the dash board.

Measure it & divide by .0395 to convert to metric32,34,& 36 mm are the most common

May be weak battery try jumper cables.clean both cables at battery then have the battery load tested.Next remove starter and connect with jumper cables.bypass solenoid with screwdriver.if the battery is dun down measure the alternator output.it should run at 14.7 vdc with everything turned on.

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.

GM doesn't use inertia switches to my knowledge.

You don't have a clue do you ? The wiper motor is controlled by relay's . The wiper switch is a low voltage input to the BCM ,on the voltage signal it see's from the switch it energize's the wiper an wiper high relay's . The relay's are of the PCB type . Which means it's soldered directly to the under hood fuse box circuit board . It's not even hooked to the BCM

Have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's.

The 1st thing you need done is to have a scan tool hooked up and the computer stored fault codes read.
