Dear all, Sad to say, I got p1484 again. I'm reluctant to think it's the Fan Clutch, since as you know i very recently installed a new one, for the second time. The post: CaptainXL Posted 13 May 2013 - 06:18 AM Assuming this is the infamous 5 volt reference circuit problem between the fan...

Dear all, Old thread, I know... My 02 TB uses up about 2 quarts of oil between oil changes (6k mikes). No blue smoke, but did find oil in the resonator. Do I need a new head gasket or rings? Would this be considered blowby? I also noted that if I remove the fill cap when the engine is...

Dear all, Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help I received and share the solution: We sent the PCM back and got a refund, I then purchased a second one programmed to my VIN as Mooseman suggested, put it in there myself, did a security relearn (instructions came with the PCM) and fired...

Dear all, Just an update. I found SP205 without any problems, It has a comb shaped plate to jumper all the modules together. We removed the comb and jumpered A and B (comunications bus and PCM) and went for it!. The read of the PCM was much faster than before, (we got 2 DTCs this time...

Roadie, thanks again for the reccomendation, I found this on the net: EASE Online Support Web Site Anyone ever heard of this? It kinda checks out with what you're mentioning regarding SP205... I'll definitely not mess with it on my own, I'll have someone that knows how to handle this...

Thank you so much, sorry for the possible dumb question, I'm not good at all with electric stuff, should I check for frailed wires or disconnect and connect one by one to isolate the module that may be interfering? Carlos

Try elsewhere, besides the dealer, I've seen fan clutches for $231 AcDelco on Amazon.com Good luck. Carlos

Thank you Roadie, Are you refering to TSB 040845010 Splice pack 201 ground? Carlos

Dear all, We installed the new PCM last night, and had no luck. :hissyfit::mad::sadcry: The old PCM can be read, but not written, and the New PCM could not be read, since it can't be read the process won't continue.:confused: I'm thinking the problem could be the diagnostic port (one of it's...

Thanks Guys, Apparently the guy did consider this, not OnStar equipped, no aftermarket stuff, and did pull the fuses. According to him it is the PCM, I've ordered it out of EBay, should recieve it in a week or so. I'll let everybody know how that goes. Thanks again for all the help. Carlos

My 2002 TB has 126K Km (about 78K Mi), purchased on Jan. 2003, it has been running great. Work done: Fan Clutch (under warranty) Fan Clutch Thermostat (while at it Temp Sensor) Oil changes every 6K Mi (I only use 5W30 Synthetic) TB cleaned a few times. A few Fuel filters Fuel Injectors Cleaned...

Thank You Very Much Mooseman, I'll get my hands on one and post how that goes. Carlos V.

Thank You Mooseman, For the 2002 model I've found two differente part numbers 12576463 and 12571178 do you or anyone know if they are compatible / equivalent (considering a used one) they both are replaced by the 19210066 (too expensive), I'm afraid of taking mine out to check wich part number...

Thanks Mooseman, I checked the Aux 1 and Aux 2 fuses, and they're both good. I was lucky enough to find a guy that has many years experience programming GM PCMs, I sat nex to help while he checked. He plugged in a MDI to the diagnostic port which powered the unit up, he read the info on the...

I've been asking around a lot and have gotten a few second opinios, none of them believe the PCM is damaged. I'll try getting it flashed elsewhere, different dealer or a shop that knows how to do it (haven't found any yet). I'll later post how that goes. If anyone has further Ideas they'll be...
