  • Greetings viewers and welcome back to the channel. In todays production we have a Chevy TrailBlazer ( AKA GMC Envoy Isuzu Ascender ) that arrived with a customer complaint of an illuminated check engine light and reduced engine power warning. The vehicle had stored active codes U1000, P0452, P1221, P1271, P1635 and P1481. All related to a common 5 volt reference circuit of the powertrain control system. Come along for a quick tutorial on the diagnosis and repair for this common issue. Here is a link to the time saving video I mentioned in this vid: • Chevy TrailBlazer GMC ...

    That fan clutch causes a lot of REP codes! I fully agree with using an OEM clutch, or you'll be doing the job again within a year.
    Another easy way to diagnose it is to disconnect the fan clutch connector, and drive the vehicle for a while, making sure to keep a close eye on the temperature gauge! If the REP code does not come back, you've most likely found the problem.
    I've used your longer bolt trick when doing the fan clutch on my '04 TB with the 4.2 engine, and it works quite well!

    160K on my Trailblazer. On water pump #3 but clutch is still working. That fan assy is a pain the butt to mess with. I like your special wrench for the big nut. I just used a chisel bit on my air hammer

      Yes its a really neat tool for various size fans. You can find them fairly cheap also.

    Great video. You are the Trailblazer/Envoy guru. I wish I knew the 2 bolt trick when I replaced my fan clutch last year (I did the "cut" hack). Can you please give more detail on the spanner and air gun you used to undo the big nut (I had so much trouble with that nut)
    Thanks for another great tutorial.

    I know this isn't about your video but we're about to purchase a 04 GMC envoy cars in great shape runs and drives fine however for some reason and I am not an expert on the 4.2 at all but it sounds like a diesel motor to me is that normal it's got a rattle like a 12 valve Cummins kind of not to that extreme but same kind of noise but when you give it throttle it smoothes right out and their engine runs smooth any tips or suggestions

    I have a 2002 Trailblazer that's been very reliable, but when I started it up the other night, the dashboard lights all came on. The gas gage went to 0, the battery light, brake light, security light all lit up. The truck stay on and I got home with the dashboard light alternating between normal and everything lit up. A day later, it still start right up. So the mechanic doesn't fleece me, how easy a fix is this, please?
