Top 10 2002 Chevrolet S-10 Questions & Answers

The ABS and parking brake lights kept coming on in my boyfriends 2001 Chevy s10. We took it to the Chevy dealer and they ran a diagnostic on it determining that the ABS module was shot (common problem for them mechanic said). The cost to have it fixed at the dealer was about $750. I found a place in Moscow Idaho that rebuilt the module for $130!!!! YAHOOO! You have to pay about $35 in shipping costs but they returned it to us in 3 days.I was able to remove the module myself and didn't need to mess with the brake lines/fluid--it was simple and took about 10 minutes to remove it. The site steps you through removal/installation if I can do this so can you! Go to www.modulemaster.com to determine if you have an ABS module that they can rebuild. It's guaranteed for 5 years and if we had the dealer replace it they would only guarantee it for 1 year. So go to the module master and save some cash!!!!

There is no shut off switch on a 2002 chevy S10. Sorry for the bad news.
Good luck and hope this helps, there is a fuel pump relay in the glove box behind a rear panel to the left corner in the box. The relay i believe is the middle one of the three.

When you first turn the key on, listen for the fuel pump to kick on. You might need someone at the fuel pump to listen for it. Any fuel injected vehicle when you first turn on the key the ECM or PCM will turn the pump on for 2-5 seconds to prime and build up the fuel pressure. If it fails to kick on then you might want to check for dual fuel pump relays. The priming relay could be bad, or there is no signal sent to turn on the pump to prime the system. I don't want to point a finger at the Idle Air Control, but its possible there is some gunk in it, in which just remove it by either a large wrench or by removing the hold down bolts and spraying carb cleaner over the needle and in the throttle body. I'm sure you've already tried holding the throttle down upon starting the truck, if so and its still hard to start then check and make sure the system is being primed. Another way to check it, is start the truck and pull the fuel pump fuese until it dies. Then attach the fuel pressure gauge which should read zero pounds. Then turn the key on and see if the gauge goes up, it should be over 40 psi. If it doesn't, then turn the key on and off a few times to see if it does, making sure you wait at least 2 seconds when you turn the key on to give the pump time to work. I have a 91 Isuzu Rodeo that uses 2 fuel pump relays, it was factory built with a 3.1 Chevy engine. Leave a comment to let me know what you find, and if it doesn't work then I'll think of another possible cause. And use a volt meter on the batter to verify 12.6 volts before starting, preferably nothing under 11.5 when cranking, but 10 volts is the bottom limit, and above or about 14 volts when the engine is idling.

Check the autozone.com website and register the car. It's free and you will have access to an online repair manual for the car. The vacuum diagrams should be available there. Hope this helped and best wishes.

I have a 02 s 10 with a stuck bottom 3rd door latch. I took my seat balts loose removed the door panel,also removed the plastic latch yoy use to open door, the top latch was alredy opened and I put a needle nose vise grip on the lever going to the bottom I used to much and broke the little plastic retaing piece that holds the lever.I looked inside door with light saw my latch was in open pos and took pry bar to pry botton door from inside,once opened i used a 10 mm 1/4 in drive to take out 4 bolt's to latch.removed latch placed in vice and heated with burnsomatic torch,the latch is coated with a plastic so i burned it all off with vice grip on the lever to open and pliers the work the part that catches door striker I kept working it until it freed up then put antu seige on put back in truck. I recomend buying a new latch and put anti seize on it. that's my plan but at least it's working for now. or get a good used one from a junk yard. you can e mail me at [email protected] for ant Q's

Good luck and hope this helps.

Thinking this third hose is the actual vacuum hose that goes to the T near the vacuum reservoir located in the drivers side fender just below the antilock brake assembly. There is a one way valve in the line from the transmission to the T.
