My auto load leveling sensor has gone bad on my 2003 Tahoe Lt. The air pump has been recently replaced, so is there a way to by-pass the circuit boards and even the air pump and just take the air intake lines to the rear shocks and make them like a manual air shock, where you control the pressure in the shocks?

No, but you can put the 50-80$ sensor in too correct the system considering you just spent 500-600$ to have the pump replaced. Or you can just put non-air rear shocks on the vehicle although the suspension system will generate a warning message on the dash.

springs & air bags in the shock hold the truck level
if they are wet with oil the seal is leaking
replace the shocks

SOURCE: change front shock for load leveling system

first if you have and air ride system you first have to turn the air ride system off there is a switch on the passenager side under the glove box near the panel just infront of the door disconnect the battery and then support the car and then loose the nut on the top and then the air supply line and the bolt on the bottom and then remove the shock and if you do not have air ride system you have struts it best to replace the whole strut with springs it is a whole lot safer doing this way.go to napa or auto zone and they will down load pictures for you

I doubt you can. The people that probably would know would be at the local Custom Truck & Accessory shop

I have a 2003 chevy tahoe Lt the air works in front and with back controls but heat is only working in the front it blows with back controls but puts out no heat what causes this?

Your climate system can only cool or heat but not both. The temperature has a big effect on this. The cooling needs the compressor.

2003 Nissan Altima 2.5L Service Engine Soon Light is on, Auto Zone says codes are for MAF and O2 Sensors. Car hard to start after driving a while but when starts appears to run smooth. Auto Zone thi

ok lets start with the codes they say your getting. P??? which 1's and how many. there are few o2 sensors, are they next to the Exhaust next to the converter? MASS AIR FLOW -MAF use this, for now i am guessing, until i see the correct codes your are getting. this could be the 1 you may have below, please read it........
  • P0103
    Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit High Input
  • Possible causes
  • Faulty mass air flow sensor
    - Intake air leaks
    - Dirty mass air flow sensor
    - Dirty mass air filter
    - Mass air flow sensor harness is open or shorted
    - Mass air flow sensor circuit poor electrical connection
  • Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with low compress air or mass air flow sensor cleaner. Reset code and drive vehicle. If the code comes back, it may be necessary to replaced the mass air flow sensor.
  • possible symptoms Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
    - Engine stall

I have a 2003 tahoe when I'm driving it shuts

Could be the crank sensor, fuel pump, or simply a relay going bad. Is the check engine light on? If so get the codes out of it and that will be your first step. I think pepboys, advanced auto and autozone will retrieve your codes for free. Give one a call and ask them.

2004 Chevy Tahoe not idling properly, and dies. Heater also blows cold when at a low rpm.

If you have looked up the code and it tells you the vehicle is running lean and you have changed the O2 sensors, you may have a clogged fuel filter or worst yet a fuel pump that is going bad and not providing enough pressure. Take it to a repair shop and ask them to test the pressure. It is an inexpensive test that will only take a couple of minutes. If the pressure is low try replacing the filter first as it is much cheaper than replacing the fuel pump that is in the gas tank.

1999 grand cherokee engine starts butwill not move in any of the gear selections. Scanned with autoenginuity scantool shows dtc codes p1767 and p1784

P1784 low reverse pressure switch sense circuit.
Start by checking fluid level and condition. then check electrical connections. if all ok, probably solenoid in the valve body assembly.

P1767 Transmission Relay Always On. Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input)

Start with the simple and Check your fuses and transmission fluid level, if the level is good and the condition of the fluid is good. There may be an issue with your solenoid or your transmission pump. You can check your pump buy checking your transmission fluid level with the engine not running and take note where the level is. Then start the engine and check the fluid level again, if the level has gone down. The your pump is good, if it does not go down. Then your pump has gone bad and your going to have to rebuilt the transmission or replace the pump.

You better of replacing the whole transmission of the pump has gone bad, since the low transmission fluid pressure would have worn out most for your clutches throughout the transmission.

Thank you for using Fixya and hope is just a simple Solenoid that has gone bad or a wire harness that has shorted out.

Why is my abs light on in my 03 chevy? and on the passanger side the front tire is roaring really bad when i drive, please help

Ok, there are sensors on your front wheel hubs. This could easily cause the abs light to turn on. The loud noise could easily be your wheel hub going bad. Easiest way to check, jack up the front of the truck, grab tire, shake back and forth and up and down. Same amout of play each way? You're wheel hub is bad.......

"check ride control" /suspension problems?

That is an indication that your air shocks at the rear needs to be replaced or there is a sensor that may have gone bad, event the air pump mey not be working. Most owners replace the more expensive air shocks with good conventional shocks like Monroe Reflex Shocks if there not towing heavy trailers. You can have the conventional shocks installed and have the ride control system deactivated. First check your fuse just t make sure the fuse to the air compressor has not gone bad, and the air ride leveling sensor, wire harness has not been damaged due to corrosion.
