Tow/haul mode enables the operator to achieve enhanced shift performance when towing or hauling a load. When tow/haul mode is selected, the tow/haul switch input signal to the body control module (BCM) is momentarily toggled to zero volts. This signals the powertrain control module (PCM) to extend the length of time between upshifts and increase transmission line pressure. Cycling the tow/haul switch again disables tow/haul mode and returns the transmission to a normal shift pattern.

Would't trust it , take an have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes checked by a qualified repair shop with a factory or professional scan tool . Auto part stores can not check BCM code's .

    Unhook what ? The switch ? Try it an let me know what happens, may turn on check engine light, yellow wrench symbol light if your vehicle has one. It is an input to the BCM - body control module. the BCM has electronics to check circuits for opens , shorts etc.. for its input circuits.

What would cause my TAHOE TOW/HAUL mode to engage on its own?

You need to have a diagnostic scan tool hooked up ,glitch in one of the control modules or a wire in the circuit shorting to ground ! probably something simple but hard to find ! With a factory scan tool they can check the input signal to the BCM ,PCM .

I have a 2000 chevy tahoe the tow/haul light does not come on and there seems to be no differnce in the shifting of the tranny

pfugi... I'm in the process of trying to change out my turn signal switch and that process requires pulling the plastic trim from on top and bottom of the steering column. I have the same problem that you do with the tow haul and after a few months of it not working I pretty much dismissed it as not a big deal, but I found the problem yesterday and I'd be willing to bet you have the same problem. Where the set of wires comes from the button on the end of your gear arm and into the steering column needs to have some flex to it as you shift the car and the extremely fine wire that they used simply snapped in half. There is absolutely no extra wire there and I'm deciding whether or not to solder on an extension or not while I have it open. I tow a camper and in Colorado quite a bit and I have just relented to manually shifting when necessary.

The tow haul light on my 2000 tahoe will not turn off

there are like 4 small wires in the lever and one is probably not connected . sounds like when you pushed the button it might of lost contact so you cant turn it off. try removing the power wire off your battery then re-connecting it. this should re-set your computer thus not showing you in tow haul mode untill you push it again.

2001 Chevy Tahoe 4x4, 5.8L and have toe/haul problem.

Do you have tilt steering wheel? First make sure that the wiring to the switch, which is probably located on the gearshifter or the dash. These wires can be shorted out usually pretty easy especailly if located on the gearshifter.( The old wire hanger trick)

Tow haul light on sierra 2002 wont come on

I'v heard that the tilt wheel causes the wire to break. Most likely the wire has been broken. Somewhat easy fix.

Transmission tow/haul mode

Hi, the problem is when you are tilting the steering wheel all the way up it's putting to much tenstion on the wires that come outof your shifter that run to the tow/haul button. i am 99% sure your wires are disconected. rewire them and add some extra wire so next time there will be more slack in your wires.
