as soon as i start the car.
Serv.tire mon.sys
and then as i start driving when i hit a slight bump in the road:
it will say
serv traction control
serv abs

is this just a sensor or what?

 

Sounds like all your TPS sensors are down.Did you change the rims on your car or are they not stock when you got the car?Check your DIC on your dash broad by pushing options and holding it,then hit fuel 4 times.Find out what codes are comming up.

 

ok...ill check it and post it this afternoon

 

ok so i checked my codes...and ill just put what it listed.

99-HVAC 2 CODES
B0361 H
B0367 H

A6-SCM NO COMM

B0-RFA 1 CODE
C2120 H C

A0-LDCM 1 CODE
U1064 H
A1-RDCM 1 CODE
U1064 H

10 PCM 3 codes
P0410 H
P0463 H
P1416 H

28 TCS 4 CODES
C1222 H
C1226 H
C1233 H
C1255 H

40-BCM NO CODES
60-IPC NO CODES
80- rADIO NO CODES

 

There is a lot going on with your car. here is the website for all the codes and what they mean.

I will pm you the site also

its all history ho? how do i know if it a problem?

 

Then you ask in your next post .... its all history ho? how do i know if it a problem?

Maybe the warning lights might tell you it's a problem ????

The EBCM codes always set to an "H" status when you turn the engine off. On engine start the EBCM attempts to run its internal diagnostics and returns the system to service if it passes the tests.

OK ..... the EBCM seems to be making it pretty clear that the Right Front wheel is having a problem. Have you checked the wiring harness connections to the RF wheel speed sensor? That's where I would start. I'd also immediately delete the C1255H and hope it does not re-appear ... that one usually requires the replacement of the EBCM .... but hopefully the RF sensor problems MIGHT be setting the C1255.

Your TPMS .... are the sensors in your wheels ??? This code usually would set if the RFA is not receiving radio signals from the TPMS. Do your key fobs work OK ???

I'd delete ALL the codes and see what, if any (besides the EBCM and TPM codes which are sure to reoccur) , come back.

 

ok i reset it and these codes are the ones still popping up;
TCS-
C1226H
C1233H

99HVAC-
B0367H

B0-RFA-
C12120H C

 

Well, the good news is the C1255 is gone ......

So, you need to check the wiring harness to the RF wheel speed sensor. Jack and safely support the car, remove the RF wheel, and start looking. If need be, go to the sticky at the top of this forum by Bill Curlee on electrical issues. Page forward to page 8 .... and just a few posts down Bill posted some pictures of what a good connector versus a "bad" connector look like. 90 percent of the time wheel speed sensor issues are wiring. One other thing to check ... do you have stainless steel brake lines on the car ?? Some brands have been known to cause intermittent problems with the sensors.

Your TPMS ..... I already asked ... do you have the sensors installed ??? Do your key fobs work ??? Have you tried programming the sensors to the car ???

Let's skip the HVAC code for now until we get the other issues fixed.

 

well...im tryin to get my driver side ac working...and im wondering if that HVAC code is the problem

 

The B0367 is for the right (passenger) side actuator.

Without knowing what your problem is with the HVAC ... I'd try re-calibrating the actuators first .... very difficult procedure ... but I know together we can do this .....

* Manually delete the B0367

* Open up the Instrument Panel (I/P) Fuse block (under carpet in passenger footwell)

* Check that fuse #27 is marked HVAC (Owner's Manual) and remove fuse

* WAIT at least 60 seconds (make it 90)

* Insert fuse back into fuse block

Take the car out for a quick drive (5 minutes ??) and see how the HVAC is working ... when you park the car, check for codes ... post any codes for the HVAC .....

See what that does ....

 

HVAC code IS the problem. From experience. Replace the driver's side actuator and that will fix your problem. I would guess that this problem arose (code and driver ac not working) after a battery disconnect. That's usually the way it happens.

Good news is its two seperate problems.

If you have a 1997 like me, they are sensitive to the big bumps and this TCS code will pop up. You can pull the codes, and reset the TCS ones while going down the road and the lights will go out. TCS/ABS functions will return.

 

i will try to recalibrate the actuator tomorrow. reset all the codes. and see what i still have.
*but i have reset them before and the codes that keep popping back up are
Serv.Trie mon.Sys.... as soon as i start the car...
and when i hit a bump in the road my traction control lights and abs light come on

 

well i still have
serv. tire mon. sys when i start the car....
and when i hit a decent bump in the road my service traction and service abs will come on. and when i turn the car off they go away and wont come back on till later....and if i try to get on it and they come on it kinda gives me drag when it happens

 

Dude ..... in posts 7 and 9 I gave you several things to check concerning your SERVICE TRACTION/ABS messages ... instead of doing anything about that you posted in #10 you wanted to fix the HVAC system .... so in post 11 I gave you a possible HVAC fix ..... and you never responded other than to say you wanted to "try" my recalibration .....

Now you seem to be "complaining" that the tire pressure system and the AH/ABS are still bothering you ......

Try this .... RESPOND TO THESE QUESTIONS .....

1) Did the HVAC problem get fixed ????

2) Did you look at the wiring for the RIGHT FRONT wheel speed sensor - 90 percent of the time it is a wiring problem - Did you look at page 8 of Bill Curlee's sticky to see what good versus bad connectors look like ??? Do you have stainless steel brake lines installed (already asked this ... no response)

3) Do your KEY FOBS work to lock/unlock the car ??? Like I asked in post #7 ????? Are the sensors in your wheels ?????

----------------------------

I'm asking questions to help YOU diagnose the problems .... you provide NO FEEDBACK .... you need to answer the questions, or diagnosing your problems is IMPOSSIBLE !!!!!

Always willing to help ... but you gotta contribute too.

 

well the a/c im just gonna have to take it in....removing all the stuff to get to the actuator door just doesnt seem to be like something i should do.

and no my 1 ket fob does not work...but ive had the car for 6 months now...and its never worked. i didnt start having these traction/abs problems until 2 months ago

the a/c on the driver side has always been that way

 

Geez .... this is like pulling teeth .....

Did you do like I asked in post #11 and pull fuse #27 ???????

Did you do like I asked and answered ANY of my questions in my last post ... such as #2 .... ??????

Did you do like I asked and look at the wiring for the RIGHT FRONT wheel speed sensor ??????

Are you just slow ... stupid ... or totally brain dead ???????

I asked you very specific questions ..... none of which you have answered ....

 

Harsh, but true! The information highway has to be 2-way.

 

thanks for being soo kind..
yes i pulled the fus....waited and replaced it...didnt work
no i did not check the speed sensor
and yes they are after market rims...which came on the car when i bought it


and to answer your other question............i guess im a little slow and a bit stupid

 

I am being "kind" .... I'm trying to help you ....... you asked how to diagnose and fix the problems ....

I've already helped you pinpoint that the SERVICE TRACTION/ABS message is because yout Right Front Wheel speed sensor has a problem. I gave you clear instructions on looking at Bill Curlee's post for pictures of what the connectors look like so you can then inspect the connections yourself. If you don't want to inspect the connections, the warning messages will just keep on showing up.

Based on the fact that you FINALLY answered the question about your wheels (kinda ... I asked if you have sensors in the rims ... you replied you have aftermarket rims) I'm gonna have to guess that the answer is no ... you don't have sensors. Look carefully at the valve stem on each wheel. If the stems have a nut holding them in the wheel .... then you probably have dead sensors (What year is your car ????) if the tire stems have a "regular" rubber base, then you are missing the sensors. Tell me what year and I can give you the part numbers for the sensors. If you don't do anything you will continue to see the SERVICE TPMS messages forever.

Your non-working key fob most likely just needs a battery. After you put a new battery in it post and someone can give you the instructions to program the fob to the car.

I helped you pinpoint that it is the right side actuator that is causing your HVAC problems ..... you have decided to have someone else repair this problem.

So, am I being kind, or am I wasting my time giving you advice that it appears you don't want to follow ???
