Drivers information display doesn't work
I researched and finally found a fix for non functioning Driver Information Center.
The solution was similar to that found for similar modules on other brands of vehicles.
Remove the Driver Information Center Module
(See GM manual for procedure)
Push back clips from black housing box and carefully remove circuit board
Place circuit card flat on table.
Place display and component side of circuit board facing up
Rotate circuit board so the display module side is facing you
There are button switches on either side of the display module
Look at the right button switch.
Next to it just left and above are four 1/4" X 1/8" black components attached to the circuit board
They are marked 430, 430, 820 and 820 reading from top to bottom.
These are resistors with 43 and 82 ohm values.
On the two modules I have repaired the problem was with the top most
resistor. It is marked 430 and is 1/2" above and 1/4" to the left of
the right button switch. The soldering to the circuit board had
fractured. I resoldered the resistor into place using a bit of solder
and 15 Watt pencil soldering iron.
All fixed.
The problem is NOT the black spot on the display in the upper left corner
The problem is NOT the DC to DC converter modules.
What scan tool?
Sort of.You would need a scan tool such as a dealer would use, not a code reader like the auto parts stores have.
Service engine soon light codeP0141
Hi there:
This code means that the heated circuit in the oxygen sensor on bank 1 decreases time needed to enter closed loop. As the O2 heater reaches operating temperature, the oxygen sensor responds by switching according to oxygen content of the exhaust surrounding it. The ECM tracks how long it takes for the oxygen sensor to begin switching. It the ECM determines (based on coolant temp) that too much time elapsed before the oxygen sensor began operating properly, it will set P0141. See also: P0135 (Bank 1, Sensor 1).
A code P0141 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
- open or short to ground in the wiring harness
- O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance
- O2 heater element resistance is high
- Internal short or open in the heater element
Note: Typically a failed catalytic converter does not cause this code. You're more likely to see a P0420 code for a failed converter.
Possible solutions:
- Replace oxygen sensor (cannot repair open or short that occurs internally to sensor)
- Repair short or open or high resistance in wiring harness or harness connectors
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.
Cant move shifter chev venture
You could disconnect the cable at the transaxle if you need to manually shift the trans, but you would need to disassemble the steering column to move the shift lever without unlocking the key cylinder.
Where is the fuse for the remote power mirrors
They are probably protected by a relay/breaker. You will find it under the hood, in a plastic cover in the relay/breaker center. It will be labeled either next to the relay or on the inside of the cover. murf427
Finding the inlet and outlet hoses for heater core
You will find the heater hoses on the rear of the motor.This is on the drivers side just under the air cleaner tube that goes into the motor.They go from there into the firewall.Part of them are metal pipe and part rubber where they go into the vehicle.If your having problems with the vehicle not heating.Make sure the cooling system is not low.The other thing is this 3.4 engines are known for head gasket.Usually the rear head on the passengers side rear corner.You have to look from under the vehicle.Hope this has helped.Good luck.
Fuel filter
Should be mounted under the van in front of the gas tank.You may need a special tool to release the clip and unlock the line to remove. The tool is available at the parts store where you buy the filter.Don't forget to release the fuel pressure before removing the filter.
