Map Sensor by jefplane
Aug 20, 2006 (4:16 pm)
Reply
Hi, I drive a 94 Concourse Deville. I have replaced my map sensor 3 times in the last 2 months. The car would work fine for one to two weeks after the replacement then I would get the PO32 error code. Also after I replaced the map sensor for the first time the car would struggle getting started and has continued to have hard starts for every following map sensor I replaced. I have replaced the connector to the sensor and have gone through the Gm Diagnostic tree to the best of my abilities with no avail. The car also seems to start better on cooler less humid days. If anyone might know what is causing these problems any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated.
 
Sincerely
 
Mike

One or more leaky injectors (hot start problem).
 
Leaking fuel pressure regulator (cold start problem).
 
Or.... is it the other way around?????
 
Wait a minute. Is this motor a Northstar? The above info is for a Northstar.

DeVille remote door lock horn by 04cad
Aug 11, 2006 (5:13 am)

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket conversion to change the annoying horn honk when locking the doors with the remote to a less offensive "chirp"? When I have the horn honk enabled, the horn honks on the first push to let me know they locked. My 2006 Chevy Silverado does not honk the first push, only on the second push, so if you are at a motel late at night, or somewhere you don't want to bother people, you can push it once to lock it without a honk disturbing everyone nearby. As far as I can tell with the DeVille, it is either on (honks on first push) or off (doesn't honk ever). Oh I forgot to mention the only positives of the horn honking instead of a chirp noise is the couple of times in Disney parking lots I have toyed with people trying to find their vehicle by pushing their remotes and listening for the horn, one young couple laughed that maybe they should take the Caddy instead of their vehicle. Thanks

04............My 03 Deville has a setting on the Driver
Info. center stating if you want the horn to sound upon
locking the doors with the remote or not.
 
I can only assume a 04 is the same? Have you checked you
DIC options?

Believe there is a section in the owners manual that will show the options for locking and the horn. If unable to locate there suggest you contact onstar center during the week and daytime hours as they will often transfer you to a dealership service department that will answer your question. I do not like the horn sound on locking and have programed it out, just don't remember what I did, was two years ago when I got the car. I like the idea of a chirp instead and if you find out how to do this will appreciate
your posting here. My car is a 2004 Deville.

Read the owners manual?
 
What an engaging proposition.
 
There is even an index in there.

DeVille door lock chirp upgrade by 04cad
Aug 13, 2006 (5:12 am)

No, I haven't checked the manual, why would I? The drivers information center would, I assume, offer me any and all options to set the horn honk on lock preferences. So far what I have seen is either on or off, no chirp, no honk on second push of key fob (like Chevrolet trucks, just on or off). I will look at my owners manual for a chirp option, but I will guess, since I haven't heard any DeVilles chirping when locked, that it isn't a factory option. Thanks for the suggestions anyway. Bob

For sound effects on the GM security systems, the horn is used. Systems that "chirp" have a chirping device and are not a GM security system.
 
I have my Seville setup to flash the lights when the doors are locked with the key fob. I usually lock the doors with the lock button on one of the doors when I leave the car rather than using the key fob. That way I know that the doors are locked.

Still looking for information to "Upgrade" from horn to chirp. by 04cad

I guess no one actually read my first post. I know that a chirp is not a GM factory option. I am wanting to purchase an after market upgrade that will change the lock signal from the horn to a chirp if one is available. Also I believe if you read up on the door lock system, you may find you have to use the key fob in order for the security system to be activated. If you use the door lock button the security system is inactive. At least that was the program the last time I bothered to read about the door locks. We have traded for an 05 DeVille and found the seats are so much more comfortable without the heated/cooled seats. We do miss the memory seat function. Thanks for the replies.
