Top 20 2006 GMC Canyon Questions & Answers

You mean the brake line flare nuts on the end of the lines? I see nothing that looks like a 'plug'. You buy the lines ready made or you have them made a garage, using a brake line flare tool set. eBay sells them ready made.https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+gmc+canyon+rear+brake+line+plug+from+master+cylinder..

It sounds as if the constant power to the BCM has somehow gotten moved to switched power.

Have a scan tool hooked up , not a code read or what they use at the auto part stores . Need a factory tech2 or someother professional type that can check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes in all the modules . Could be as simple as a loose ground connection , checking codes could point to the problem . Do you know what all the codes are ? P codes - engine & transmission ,B codes - body control module , C - chassie - ABS ,U codes - data communication network codes . This is something you should have a qualified repair shop check .

REDUCED POWER Refer to: • Powertrain Control Module Description for the 2.8L engine • Powertrain Control Module Description for the 3.5L engine Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) Overview The throttle actuator control (TAC) system uses vehicle electronics and components to calculate and control the position of the throttle blade. This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body. This system also performs the cruise control functions as well. The TAC system components include, but are not limited to the following: • The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors • The throttle body • The powertrain control module (PCM) Each of these components interface together to ensure accurate calculations and control of the throttle position. Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal assembly. The APP is 2 individual APP sensors within one housing. There are 2 separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits. APP sensor 1 voltage increases as the accelerator pedal is depressed. APP sensor 2 voltage decreases as the accelerator pedal is depressed. Throttle Body Assembly The throttle body for the throttle actuator control (TAC) system is similar to a conventional throttle body with several exceptions. One exception being the use of a motor to control the throttle position instead of a mechanical cable. Another exception is the throttle position (TP) sensor. The TP sensor is mounted in the throttle body assembly. The TP sensor is 2 individual TP sensors within the throttle body assembly. Two separate signals, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used to connect the TP sensors and the powertrain control module (PCM). TP sensor 2 signal voltage increases as the throttle opens. TP sensor 1 signal voltage decreases as the throttle opens. Reduced Engine Power Mode When the PCM detects a problem with the throttle actuator control (TAC) system the PCM enters one of the following Reduced Engine Power Modes: • Acceleration Limiting--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control, however the vehicle acceleration is limited. • Limited Throttle Mode--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control, however the maximum throttle opening is limited. • Throttle Default Mode--The control module will turn OFF the throttle actuator. • Forced Idle Mode--The control module will perform the following actions: - Limit engine speed to idle by positioning throttle position, or by controlling fuel and spark if throttle is turned OFF. - Ignore accelerator pedal input. • Engine Shutdown Mode--The control module will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator. Have you had it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes ? DTC P2176 The commanded throttle position (TP) is compared to the actual TP. Both values should be within a calibrated range of each other. The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors the commanded and actual TPs. If the values are greater than the calibrated range, DTC P2176 sets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DTC P2138 The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors 1 and 2 are located within the accelerator pedal assembly. Each sensor has the following circuits: • A 5-volt reference circuit • A low reference circuit • A signal circuit This provides the powertrain control module (PCM) with a signal voltage proportional to accelerator pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the pedal is actuated. DTC P2135 The throttle actuator control (TAC) assembly has 2 throttle position (TP) sensors mounted within the assembly. The powertrain control module (PCM) provides individual signal, ground, and 5-volt reference circuits to each sensor. Both sensors operate within a voltage range between 0.35-4.65 volts. When the throttle is opened from 0-100 percent, one sensor signal voltage increases while the other decreases. The signal circuit for TP sensor 1 is referenced to ground, and the signal circuit for TP sensor 2 is pulled up to 5 volts within the PCM.

check the bulb sockets for rust.

I guess it's just me, but, I don't like taking battery cables loose. I know sometimes it works. Did you check voltage at proper fuse circuits, use a testlite. You may have to check proper wire colors in wire harness on hinge side of driver door. You open and shut the driver door so much, sometimes those wires break. I'm talking voltage and ground. The info I looked at was for two door version.

I would bet u have high impedance in your batt. Cables. Ez to check if u have an ohm meter. Put ur metor on the lowest ohms setting. Touch ur leads together, see the voltage reading , like 002 for example. Disconnet the batt. From the cables. Read the resistance from one end of the same lead to the other. If ur reading is more than .002 or lower your cables are bad. Your problem is a classic issue of what you have. Hope that helps.

I do not know about your specific truck, but I had this trouble once, and what I did was open up the ignition switch (it's just 3 screws holding it on), remove the "cover" that only allows the key to go in, put it all back together, and used a screwdriver to turn it on/off until I was able to get a replacement switch.

Disconnected horn button if horn stops need new button

I don't list a cabin filter being used on your truck. Check your owners manual for details.

check vacuum to pressure regulater and also possible its the pressure regulater

Most modern cars have a security code enable for the installed radio/cd players. This is an anti-theft device. The initial documents given to the owner when the vehicle was purchased lists this code and how to reset it. If you are second owner/original owner who has lost this information, then, you can approach gmc canyon dealer and they will have this code on their server. Normally a free service (I believe). The security code is lost from the radio whenever keep alive voltage is removed from the radio. i.e. You disconnected or replace the battery. I hope this helps.

Sounds like a short in the turn signal switch or the rear tail lamp socket.

Tools Required: Lug Removal Tool Impact Gun(Recommended) Sockets.. Lots of metric sockets Ratchets Wrenches Porta Power(hydraulic piston) --- THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT... use to press hub off.. LOTS OF PATIENCE Instructions: 1) Jack vehicle and support on jack stands. 2) Remove front tire. 3) Remove Front Brake caliper.. hang on frame using a bungee or other support Important to not stress hose. 4) Remove brake pad support. 5) Remove 4 bolts from rear of hub. 6) Undo bolt for ABS sensorfrom frame, undo all clips holding wire. Crawl under truckand unclip wire connector(trace wire from the ABS sensorto find it) 7) Make sure wire is unclipped from the frame and will not bind on removal of hub. (Prevents Damage of ABS sensor) TRICKY PART: Turn the wheels so that you can use the hydraulic porta-power against where the lower control arm mountsto the front. (Turn the wheel left). Position porta-power to be placed inside dimple of the middle of the hub. DO NOT DAMAGE ABS SENSOR... Pump Porta-power until hub "Pops".. be extremely careful removing the hub not to damage the ABS wireat all.. It is easy to break and not notice (I did this and had to resplice it) 9) Hub should be removed from vehicle by this point and you can remove the six bolts holding the old rotor on. Still be careful not to damage the sensor. 10) Change the rotor. (do not use impact gun to reattach.. may strip threads) 11) Installation is basically reverse of removal. 12) Install brake pads, press caliper back in (typical brake job) 13) Put tire back on.. do other side.. and you're done. Porta Poweris this.... http://www.southern-tool.com/store/porta_power_kit.html

hello, first thing is to check all your fuses and make sure that they are all good? the next thing is to check if you are getting tachometer signal as you turn over the engine? if you are not getting tach signal the you should change the (crank sensor) in order to make the engine gets spark and the fuel pump to operate. if that does not work then you have a wiring problem and or possibly a bad ignition switch or computer malfunction.

If you mean mirror, for most vehicles it is the same. There is a plastic plate on the inside of the vehicle, you will have to carefully pry it off. You may need a screwdriver, and it may be glued down, each vehicle is slightly different. Once removed, there will be between two and four screws. Remove all the screws (while holding the mirror with your other hand) and the mirror will come off. Now reverse the process to put the new one on. You will have to be careful of the wires/cables for adjusting it, make sure you put them back the way they were on the old one.

We have no diagrams. Sorry.

Hi, to change the bulbs in the taillight assembly you have to access it from inside the vehicle. If there is no access panal then uou have to remove the panal to gain access to the bulb recepticle. Usually its apx 1/4 turn or so to remove it. Now you can remove the bulb and install the new one.
