Replying to: flipper3 (Aug 25, 2006 9:22 pm) I'll dump some some info here - and hope it helps ... Canufixit ===== 1.) Kick panel is inside the cab - passengers side. If you are sitting it's next to your right foot .. (it usually gets "kicked" getting in and out - hence the name). 2.) Per my Operators manual - ; "On Automatic equipped vehicles, if your transfer case does not shift into 4 Hi, Your transmission indicator switch may need adjustment. With your transmission in neutral press and release the 4 hi button. While the 4 hi indicator light is flashing, shift your transmission into park. Wait until the 4 hi indicator light remains illuminated before shifting into gear. This will get you into 4 hi. but you should take your vehicle in for service to restore normal operation .... " 2.) My full Shop manual has an extensive procedure (step by step - go/ no go) process for troubleshooting this.. It's too long to type - or I'd post .. 3.) For the Tail gate cable just mentioned by skyethor .. On this Site (and this Doc is bear to find ...) http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/ (See my post # 1823) it says this "NHTSA Action Number: NHTSA Recall Campaign Number: EA05008 N/A Make: CHEVROLET Model: SONOMA Manufacturer : GENERAL MOTORS CORP. Year : 2002 Component : LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TAILGATE:LATCH Date Investigation Opened : April 14, 2005 Date Investigation Closed : May 19, 2006 Summary: GENERAL MOTORS IS CONDUCTING A "SPECIAL POLICY" PROGRAM FOR 903,464 OWNERS OF 2000 - 2003 MODEL S/T VEHICLES THROUGH WHICH OWNERS MAY, AT THEIR OPTION, EITHER (1) PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES INSTALLED IN THEIR VEHICLE AND HAVE THE CABLES REPLACED IF THE CABLE COATING EXHIBITS ANY INDICATIONS OF DAMAGE OR DETERIORATION OR (2) REQUEST THAT THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. GM WILL HONOR ALL REQUESTS BY OWNERS WHO OPT FOR REPLACEMENT WITHOUT QUESTION REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION OR APPEARANCE OF THE CABLES. GM HAS AGREED TO MAIL REMINDER NOTIFICATIONS TO OWNERS EVERY TWO YEARS UNTIL THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS 12 YEARS OLD. ODI'S INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF THE REPORTED COMPLAINTS (87%) AND INJURIES (94%) HAVE OCCURRED IN MY 2000 - 2003 S/T VEHICLES.

I have been getting this code every couple of days. PO117 Engine Coolant Temp Circuit Low Input The other day I took the vehicle to the garage,they told me they changed out the Temperature Coolant Sensor. Today the Service Engine Light came on again. Had the Code checked. Same code came up again. When to Auto parts store checked it. They cleared the code . It came back on again within a half hour. I have a 1998 Blazer , 4.3 engine . Don't know where to look next . ????? |
