lets check the fuel tank sending unit resistance, 2002 Trailblazer
This is quick to the point demonstration of checking the resistance of a fuel level sensor on a 2002bTrailblazer. We are checking at what I feel is the quickest easiest place for this quick check, and that is the C101 connector adjacent to the underhood fuseblock.
One thing not in the video is that you must NOT jab anything large into the wiring terminal. Not here, not ever anywhere else either. Doing so can spread open the connection and then you have a bad connection that you might not have had before. In fact there is antest called a "pin drag" test where you use a new mating terminal pin and test for tightness in all suspect wiring terminal connectors. They need to be snug.

GM Instrument Cluster Fuel Gauge Check Using Serial Terminal App & Phone With OBD2 Adapter

Testing fuel level gauge on a 2005 Yukon by sending Class II serial data instructions. The messages sent mimic the messages the PCM sends. The 3 byte header is "A88310" The secondary ID is "12". And the fuel level is a hexadecimal value between "00" and "FF" where "00" is 0 percent and "FF" is 100 percent.

    So the inner gear is permanently connected to the intermediate shaft splines and the outter gear is permanently attached to the cv shaft...these do not move...what moves is the collar sleeve...the collar sleeve moves forward so it is connected to both the inner and outer gears allowing the axle to then be connected? Is this correct?

    • @thomasjbaker7688
      @thomasjbaker7688 3 місяці тому

      Pretty much, yes. Each gear is splined to a shaft, either the intermediate shaft or the CV axle shaft. Each gear has teeth on the outside diameters and these teeth get coupled together by the collar that is moved by the shift fork driven by the actuator. The actuator (at least an original one) has a coil spring inside so if the external teeth of the gears are not aligned and the shift collar cannot easily slide over the mismatched gears then the coil spring of the actuator compresses allowing the actuator to go full travel. When there is a little movement of either of the 2 gears and the teeth move into alignment the coil spring will move the shift fork and collar coupling the gears together.

    Trying to diagnose my highway speed vibration...my disconnect also has a lot of play... I know both cv axles are moving...but is there also movement occurring at the intermediate shaft from the driver side cv axle? Does the driver side cv axle keep the intermediate shaft moving? Or is it all moving but just not being connected? This would help me diagnose if this bearing failure from I side the axle disconnect a possible suspect in my highway speed vibration concern

    • @thomasjbaker7688
      @thomasjbaker7688 3 місяці тому

      Yes, the intermediate shaft is nearly always spinning. Generally the front driveshaft spins due to friction inside the transfer case clutch pack and the rotation of the drivers side cv axle. It may surprise a lot of people that most often, while rolling down the highway the intermediate shaft is actually spinning backwards. When cold at 65 mph mine spins about 1200 rpm backwards. This drops to about 700 or so once all the fluids are fully warmed up. Don't discount the possibilty of a driveshaft being out of balance. It happens.

    • @thomasjbaker7688
      @thomasjbaker7688 8 місяців тому

      You might need to push in where the actuator pushes in, using something like a long screwdriver, and slowly turn the passenger wheel at the same time so the two gears get lined up. If you can push all the way in where the actuator pushes, and spin the front passenger wheel, with neither the drivers side wheel nor the front propshaft (between the transfer case and front differential) turns then it is possible that this disconnect has something broken inside. But it could also be something broken on the front differentail.

    I should not have used an auto-ranging meter. It would have displayed the 5 volts vs 0 volts better. Anyway, you can see the black test lead is grounded by sticking it a seam of the PCM. Any good ground will do. The red test lead is connected to the dark blue wire in terminal "D" of the harness connector. You can tell which terminal is which by looking for terminal "F" which has no wire in it. That tells you which end is terminal "A" and which is "F". When the key is ON there should be a 5 volt supply at terminal "E". This powers the sensor. There is a second 5 volt signal sent from the PCM on the blue wire at terminal "D". This one is not for power. It is where/how the PCM senses the speed. As the fan rotates the speed sensor grounds out the 5 volt signal 6 times per revolution. When grounded the 5 volt signal drops to 0 volts. This is what I am showing in this video. I did not disconnect any wires, I used a 'backprobe' to poke into the harness connector and get the connection. If you don't have a backprobe a small thin sewing needle sometimes works. I have another video where Inshow the system tested on a workbench. There I have to supply the 5 volts for the sensor and I measure continuity from the terminal "D" to ground at terminal "C". ua-cam.com/video/g_xTDsiiugc/v-deo.htmlsi=h73gn3zd3zvRYJyA

      I would closely inspect the outer bearings that accept the passenger side CV axle stub. Also the seal there. These are a very common failure point. I have read where some have replaced the original outer bearing with one that is just a little wider but still allows the original seal to be installed. The idea is the wider bearing carries the load better?

      @@terrywilliams2860 Ahh, well the transfer case lock circuit goes to the shift encoder motor under the center of the truck. Not the axle disconnect up front. What the "lock" is is an electrically released, spring loaded brake that stops the shift motor from turning when it is a given mode and isn't being shifted. Do you have a test meter to check voltages? There is an orange wire that goes from the ATC fuse under the hood all the way down to the shift motor. This wire gives the positive side of the brake circuit power. The ground side of the brake circuit goes from the shift motor to the TCCM (4wd control module) in the left side of the dash. This wire is Tan colored. The brake is released when powered and on when not powered so when the system needs to shift then the TCCM grounds out that tan wire which releases the electric brake and then the TCCM turns the shift motor to where it needs to be,,, then disconnects the ground for the brake so that the brake is on again and holds the shift motor in place. You probably have a bad wire somewhere, either that orange wire is not getting power down to the shift motor or the tan wire is bad going from the shift motor to the TCCM in the dash. It vould also be just a bad connection.
