#198 of 223 Re: O2 sensor [len8827] by Mr_Shiftright HOST Mar 11, 2009 (11:01 am)
Replying to: len8827 (Mar 11, 2009 9:14 am) That's not exactly what it's telling you. It's telling you that there is a problem in the circuit that includes the 02 sensor. The code may only mean that the 02 sensor is responding to something else. Lots of wasted 02 sensors being replaced these days.   It COULD be the 02 sensor but you may not want to be guessing. A mechanic can usually test these for you.   here's everything you ever wanted to know about 02 sensors. Might save you some $$$.   http://wps.com/LPG/o2sensor.html
#199 of 223 Rubbing sound from front rt drivers wheel by brandis05 Mar 21, 2009 (4:30 pm)
2002 Esclade- Only when pressing the gas pedal we get this slight thump, thump, thump,thump sound. If we coast it does not happen. One also could describe it like a rub, rub,rub type noise. We rotated tires. Replaced the drivers side wheel bearings. Replaced brake pads and roders. It only happens when we accelerate. It seems like the car is tilting lower on drivers side too.   Any ideas??? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 21, 2009 5:42 pm)

Replying to: brandis05 (Mar 21, 2009 4:30 pm) Might check for a bad axle CV joint.   Also, it may have something to do with torque on the motor, so I'd check all drive belts for unusual wear patterns and also take a pry bar and check the tightness of all accessories, like pumps, compressors, etc.

Replying to: ezeiam (Mar 26, 2009 3:01 pm) Bulletin No.: 03-03-11-001   Date: July 22, 2003   TECHNICAL Subject: Service Ride Control Message Displayed, DTC C0580 Set (Replace Right Front Shock Absorber Solenoid Connector and Install New A/C Suction Hose and Auxiliary A/C Evaporator Hose)   Models: 2002-2003 Cadillac Escalade 2003 Cadillac Escalade ESV 2001-2003 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe 2001-2003 GMC Yukon, Yukon XL with Rear Air Conditioning System (RPO C69) and Real Time Damping Chassis Package (RPO Z55)   Condition   Some customers may comment on the Service Ride Control message being displayed. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC C0580 set.   Cause   Poor clearance between the auxiliary A/C evaporator hose and the right front shock absorber damper solenoid connector may be the cause of this condition. Contact may occur damaging the connector and causing a poor connection at the damper solenoid.   Correction   Replace the right front shock absorber solenoid connector and install a new A/C suction hose and auxiliary A/C evaporator hose. These new A/C hoses will provide proper routing to prevent contact between the auxiliary A/C evaporator hose and the right front shock absorber damper solenoid connector. Use the procedure listed below.   1. Recover the refrigerant. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging in the HVAC sub-section of the Service Manual.   2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in the General Information sub-section of the Service Manual.   3. Remove the right front wheel assembly.   4. Remove the right front wheelhouse panel.   5. Remove the nut and the auxiliary evaporator hose from the accumulator line block.   6. Remove the nut and the suction hose from the accumulator.   7. Remove the bolt and the suction hose from the compressor.   8. Install the new suction hose and bolt to the compressor.   Tighten   Tighten the bolt to 16 N.m (12 lb ft). 9. Install the new suction hose and nut to the accumulator.   Tighten   Tighten the nut to 16 N.m (12 lb ft). 10. Release 4 line retaining clamps, starting at the wheelhouse and along the underbody towards the rear of vehicle.   11. From under the vehicle, mark the location on the auxiliary evaporator line where the line will be cut. Using the forward running board bracket as a reference, mark the location inline with the bracket-to-body bolt (1). If the vehicle is not equipped with running boards, mark the location inline with the bolt hole.   12. Using a tubing cutter, cut the marked section of the auxiliary evaporator line.   13. Remove the front section of the auxiliary evaporator hose from the vehicle and discard.   14. Install the new front section of the auxiliary evaporator hose into the vehicle.   15. On both sections of the auxiliary evaporator line, cut back the plastic coating approximately 76 mm (3 in).   16. Splice in the new front section of the auxiliary evaporator hose using J 41425 A/C Line Repair Kit and J 41425-750 splice. Refer to the Heater and A/C Pipe Repair-Auxiliary procedure in the Service Manual.   17. Install the auxiliary evaporator hose to the accumulator line block and nut.   Tighten   Tighten the nut to 16 N.m (12 lb ft). 18. Secure the line retaining clamps.   19. Install the wheelhouse panel.   20. Install the wheel assembly.   21. Lower the vehicle.   22. Inject the oil into the A/C system that was removed during the recovery process using J 45037 A/C Oil Injection Kit.   23. Evacuate and recharge the refrigerant. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging in the HVAC sub-section of the Service Manual.   24. Leak test the fitting and splice using J 39400-A Halogen Leak Detector.   25. Replace the right front shock absorber solenoid connector using service connector, P/N 88986417. Refer to Wiring Repairs in the Wiring Systems sub-section of the Service Manual.
