I have a 03 Esc with about 87,000 miles, just couple of days ago it started showing "reduced engine power" then stability track disabled" ...the engines goes down (but still runing) but with much reduced power and some times will shut off completely. I need help, can someone give some advice Replies to this message: awf_axis (Mar 14, 2007 5:53 am)

Replying to: hosiefa (Mar 13, 2007 12:37 pm) I would say the obvious thing would be to take it to the dealer so they can read the trouble codes, but I'm sure your avoiding the steep charges for service.   You might try and borrow or buy a code reader. This would be the best way to find the problem. The thing is called an OBD II interface, which you can buy at most auto-parts stores, or on-line. Plan on spending a few hundred.   Dave

Thanks Dave for the advice. Actaully I think I have found a solution to the probelm( fingers crossed). I read on the the Yukon forum that the problem is cuased by loose or corroded ground cables. I had a guy check all the ground cables and since then (24hrs now) no sign of the same problem. Before the cables where check I can not drive for more than 10 to 20 mins before the msg comes on. Hope it never comes back.

Replying to: tequilasunrise (Sep 23, 2006 6:26 am) It didn't come with an owners maual because we bought it privately.   I have an extra owner's manual for an 04, that I'd be happy to give you. E-mail me with your address, and I'll ship it to you.
#122 of 223 Re: 2002 ESCALADE POWER STEERING NOISE [allan16] by texsal94 May 23, 2007 (8:26 pm)
Replying to: allan16 (Jan 08, 2003 12:12 pm) I have an '02 Escalade as well, and it started having a "whining" noise about 3-4 years ago. I replaced the Power Steering fluid, but that has not helped. My co-worker has an '02 Tahoe and my Dad has an '05 Avalanche and they both have the same noise. The dealership claims everything is functioning normally and there's no discernible cause. I wish I had a suggestion, but I just opt to turn up the radio/music to drown it out.

Replying to: rkzjr (Aug 29, 2004 7:56 pm) I have an '02 Escalade and I experience the same thing. It only happens intermittently, but I agree with the feeling...it feels like it transmission has "slipped" and takes a few seconds to "catch". Of course, the dealership "could not replicate the problem". It hasn't happened in awhile, but it does happen more frequently when I drive on the highway for a long time and have to come to a full stop.
#124 of 223 Flapping or Ratcheting Sound in '02 Escalade upon acceleration by texsal94 May 23, 2007 (8:42 pm)
I have an '02 Escalade with 110k miles. This problem started, however, back when I only had 50k miles (and under warranty). After stopping, I accelerate and hear a very LOUD "flapping" or "ratcheting" sound from the engine/transmission. It sounds like the flapping noise from a diesel semi-truck. I have brought it in at least 6-8 TIMES to the dealership. Everytime I get it back, they claim they "could not replicate the problem". I feel like they did hear it, but was a major problem they didn't want to deal with since it was still under warranty. Now, I'm left with the same embarrassing problem and no warranty. Anyone have any suggestions? BTW, I owned a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais that made the SAME noise..it was transmission-related. Replies to this message: nvbanker (May 25, 2007 4:37 pm)

Replying to: texsal94 (May 23, 2007 8:42 pm) It's probably a CV joint somewhere, going out. I have found the best way to get a mechanic to "replicate" the problem, is to make them take a drive with me and demonstrate it. Once they admit they hear it, they seem to be able to deal with it. Sometimes, I take the Service Manager with me..... It sure helps.

Is there a free website where you can see Escalade TSB's? Replies to this message: steve_ (Jun 27, 2007 4:59 pm)
