You want to be very careful doing this. To remove the radiator cap start the car you will have less pressure with it running or you can do this with it not running. You need to push down on the cap and release it from the notch lock then still pushing down turn it and it will probably go into the second safety lock. If so just push down ******* the cap and remove it. Be sure to remove the cap slowly if it is hot the antifreeze will blow out and burn you. Hope this helps.

You can measure resistant.

run the fault codes problem indicates a TCM problem or low transmission oil level. as most chev transmissions are sealed with no dip stick, it may need a service by an accredited service shop or auto transmission specialist shop

Part of my answer to another question on this van below, as my van started out with overdrive "hunting" at highway speed before it did what yours is:http://www.fixya.com/cars/t23549206-06_uplander_rpms_go_up_down_when_drivingJust before I pulled the 1-2 solenoid it started doing *nothing* when pressing on the accelerator from a stop. If you don't release the accelerator, it will eventually SLAM into first gear chirping the tires.Before you worry about that kind of repair, make sure that your trans fluid is OK (smell it: smells burnt? = not good), is the level of fluid OK (must be warm and engine running to check. If you're not comfortable with this - take it to a tech you trust). It should also be a nice bright pink-to-light-red color (mine was, brand new. Most brands are the same). Ever have the trans maintained? There is no such thing as a "maintenance free" mechanical wear item...except a permanent attachment to your wallet. Good Luck

Probably too late but for other users searching: You probably have the 4T65 transmission like I did. This is the vehicle "hunting" in and out of overdrive on the highway (marked "D" on your dash) and you're probably on level (or close to) ground. You have two options: drive in the gear selection "3" (more fuel consumption though) or change your speed. I used to drop down to 53 MPH and it would stop, or on the highway @ 65 for it to go away. Seems to be common in this trans around 60 MPH. Also - start saving for another vehicle or repair. This trans will start to slam into 2nd gear from a stop after it warms up (internal solenoid fix required) OR it will shudder horribly from a stop after a highway run. My fix was to replace the solenoid in the trans (there's video on YT) by pulling the right side of the drivetrain off the van and pulling the trans cover. If you go this route - you *must* ensure no -and I mean NO- dirt gets in that tranny while the cover is off. Good luck!
