When I start my 2002 grand am in the morning it idles rough for 2 seconds then it is fine

Make sure the antifreez is toped up in the radiator BUT only open when the engine is cold, like in the morning, on the other hand if the tempreature sensor is cracked, you will have the same symptoms. When was the tune up done? Let me know how you make out.

Where are the Vss sensors in my 02 Grand Am and which is input and which is output

Hi. On the back side of the transmission, opposite end from engine, about half way up, there you will find the VSS output sensor, near the CV axle. The VSS input sensor is on the same side but at the halfway point or in the middle of the back side. Hope this helps.

I am having trouble programming a key less entry remote for a 2002 grand am

How are you doing it ? Transmitter Programming Important: All transmitters that are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence. If the system is placed in program mode, all previously programmed transmitters will be erased upon receipt of the programming signal from the first transmitter. Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle. The order in which the transmitters are programmed is important. The first transmitter programmed will be transmitter #1, and the second transmitter programmed will be transmitter #2. Use care to program the transmitters correctly. The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed. Install a scan tool. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. With the scan tool, select Body, go to Remote Function Actuation. Select Special Functions. Select Program Key Fobs. Select the number of key fobs to be programmed. Press and hold the LOCK and the UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on the first transmitter for approximately 15 seconds. The power locks should cycle to confirm programming of the first fob is complete. If you are programming more than one transmitter, repeat the previous step to program up to 4 transmitters. Remove the scan tool. Exit the vehicle. Attempt to lock/unlock the doors to verify the programming. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation. DEALER !

Grand am abs trac control I have a 2002 grand am 3.4l I have replaced the wheel bearings and front brakes and one of the brake calapers the abs light is an with the trac control and the service vehic

Most likely that one of the ABS Wheel Sensors is disconnected or got damaged during repairs that you made. Check connectors for ABS wheel sensors at front brakes. If look ok, you need to check computer codes to know which sensor is damaged and replace sensor.

Headlights not working

Not a fuse problem , same fuse power's low an high beams . Looking at wiring diagrams an using a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter to test the electrical circuit's is the way to find the problem . The light's staying on for 3 or 4 min's. is a function of the BCM - body control module ! Do you know anything about automotive electrical testing ? Do you know what a wiring diagram is an how to read one . Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. Year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click on headlamps .Click the search button then the blue link. get yourself a cheap DVOM an test the electrical circuit's , this is how electrical problems are solved . Electric Testing Techniques You Need to Know Basic Electricity for Service Techs Ohm law Current Flow Opens Shorts Plus reading factory service repair info for how it should work would be a good idea . Headlamps The headlamps may be turned on two different ways. First, when the driver places the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMP position, for normal operation. Second, with the headlamp switch placed in the OFF position, for automatic lamp control (ALC). During ALC, the headlamps will be in day time running lamp (DRL) operation in daylight conditions, or low beam operation in low light conditions. The LH HDLPand RH HDLP fuses, supply battery positive voltage from the underhood junction block to the left and right headlamps. The circuit continues through both low and high beam lamps, then back to the underhood junction block. The low beam and high beam circuits continue to the headlamp switch. The low beam and high beam circuits also provide the body control module (BCM) with both low and high beam inputs. The headlamp switch includes the dimmer switch and the flash-to-pass switch. When the headlamp switch is placed in the HEADLAMP position a path to ground is provided. Ground is provided at G201. Depending on the position of the high/low beam switch, either the low or high beam circuit will now have power and ground. The LH HDLP fuse in the underhood junction block, supplies battery positive voltage to the automatic lamp control (ALC) headlamp relay coil circuit. The ALC relay switch circuit is connected to the low beam circuit at the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the BCM will automatically turn on the low beams in low light conditions. The BCM energizes the ALC relay, closing the switch contacts and grounding the low beam circuit. Ground is provided at G201. With the headlights in the low beam position, the high beams may be momentarily turned on or flashed with the dimmer switch handle. The flash-to-pass feature is accomplished by pulling the dimmer switch handle toward the driver. The headlights may be switched to high beam with the opposite movement of the dimmer switch lever. When the headlamp dimmer switch handle is pulled toward the driver, the flash-to-pass switch closes grounding the high beam circuit. Ground is provided at G201. Both high beams will remain on until the driver releases the switch handle. If the driver places the headlight switch in the HEADLAMP position , the headlights will remain on until turned off or the battery runs dead. Do you know what a factory diagnostic trouble shooting chart is ? Headlamps Inoperative - Low Beams Step Action Yes No Schematic Reference: Headlights/Daytime Running Lights (DRL) Schematics 1 Did you perform the Lighting System Diagnostic System Check? YES - Go to Step 2 NO - Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems 2 Place the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMP position. Place the headlamp dimmer switch in the LOW position. Do the low beam headlamps illuminate? YES - Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems NO - Go to Step 3 3 Disconnect the turn/headlamp wiper switch assembly connector C2. Connect a 15 amp fused jumper between the headlamp low beam signal circuit and a good ground. Do the low beam headlamps illuminate? YES - Go to Step 4 NO - Go to Step 5 4 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the turn/headlamp wiper switch assembly. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? YES - Go to Step 7 NO - Go to Step 6 5 Repair an open or high resistance in the headlamp low beam signal circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. YES - Did you complete the repair? NO - Go to Step 7 -- 6 Replace the turn/headlamp wiper switch assembly. Refer to Multifunction Turn Signal Lever Replacement - On Vehicle in Steering Wheel and Column. Did you complete the replacement? Go to Step 7 -- 7 Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? YES - System OK NO - Go to Step 3

I have a 02 pontiac

You need to have a good battery in it. There are to many computer controlled opponents. Put a new or known good battery in it and try it. If it doesn't start then check for fire at the plugs and fuel pressure at the fuel rail.
