2003 GMC Envoy Questions & Answers
2003 GMC Envoy. How do I hotwire my car as my key ignition messed up.
You can't, that only happens in old movies.
Your immobilizer works with a chip in the key transmitting a code to the transponder in the ignition column which sends the code to the engine computer, the body control computer, the transmission computer and the ignition module. They all have a chat about it and then decide if they will let the car have power to the ignition and fuel pump. This all happens fast between the ignition lighting up and turning the starter motor.
There are always people with other ideas though and make money from YouTube videos.

It is better to fix the problem, not find a way around it. The cheapest solution is a mobile auto locksmith.
Hotwiring and stealing cars has virtually stopped since the advent of immobilizers.
XL. Why is 'reduce eng.' light on?
Reduced engine power is a problem with the electronic throttle control . You need to have a scan tool hooked up to read codes stored .
REDUCED ENGINE POWER: Refer to Powertrain Control Module Description in Engine Controls - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L
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.
03 GMC Envoy Air Suspension fuse location?
The main fuse block is under the hood in plain view. It has a black plastic cover and will have the word fuse on it. Pull the cover off (some have a single bolt, some you push in tabs). It is the #15 fuse. I tried to upload a pic but there is an issue with the site. There are a lot of pictures online. Hope that helps
