20 Most Recent 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe Questions & Answers

The MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor is a very common problem with these along with the pickups. This isn't what you would call an inexpensive part. Definitely do some shopping before you buy one.

Linkage is disconnected.

limited info generic answer ----check fluid level and condition ---look and examine the shifter cable connector known to rust out ---have scanned for any pending or active trouble codes ---is it 4x4 if is check that not neutraled at transfer case --

Could just be a loose spark plug wire. Depending on how long it's been sitting animals tend to hide under the hood may have knocked it loose. Drive it to orileys or autozone and they can scan your computer if you have a check engine light on which in my experience with a misfire it sets off the check engine light or your gas could be old also.

Its the catalytic converter its clogged

did you clear the codes after you replaced the maf, the cel should go off after 50 cycles (ignition being turned off and on)

Hello Scullen27, While I vigorously recommend owners wanting to work on their own vehicles should purchase the FACTORY WORKSHOP MANUALS... for one time little jobs there are a FEW good alternatives... that ae also FREE. BBB Industries maintains an very excellent technical database for popular USA market vehicles: TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS and Circuit wiring diagrams (registration is required... as these are real documents) A fuse would seem to be indicated ... if your control is sound a relay operation... but the REAR-HATCH is not cooperating... THAT WOULD be the place to start, Hope this helps... FREE drawings BBB Industries Premium Alternators Starters Power Steering Products Carnac the Magnificent

Change plugs wires.

The solenoid are under the transmission oil pan, the home mechanic can repair this issue, just make sure you replace all parts on the solenoid including the o-ring If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/michael_2094e122cc46f24c

have you cleared the codes between fault reads clean the maf first .....replace the maf if faulty coil packs ? injectors

If the compressor kick's in when you jumper the relay socket there is no problem with the electrical to the compressor an the compressor isn't locked up . You have a control side problem , the PCM - engine computer is suppose to energize the relay if no other problems are present . The proper way to check this would be to hook up a scan tool an check pressure input's to the PCM an is the PCM getting a request from the HVAC control panel to turn on the A/C compressor . AutoZone is wrong as usual , There can be codes without the check engine light being on . o'reilly's is wrong as well DTC P0530 (LU3, LR4, LM7, LQ4 and L18) The powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) monitors the high side refrigerant pressure via a A/C refrigerant pressure sensor. When the pressure is high the signal voltage is high. When the pressure is low the signal voltage is low. When pressure is too high the PCM will not allow the A/C compressor clutch to engage. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. Diagnostic Aids The air conditioning (A/C) compressor clutch will not engage under the following conditions: • The A/C high side line pressure is over 2957 kPa (429 psi). • The A/C low side line pressure is under 138-172 kPa (20-25 psi). • Throttle angle is at 100 percent. • Engine speed is more than 5500 RPM. • Engine coolant temperature (ECT) is more than 121°C (250°F). • Ambient air temperature is less than 5°C (40°F). • Engine is idling at a low unstable RPM Compressor clutch engagement cannot be used to determine status of the low pressure switch. The low pressure switch is one of several inputs to the HVAC control module for A/C request authorization. A/C request is one of several inputs to the powertrain control module (PCM) that control A/C compressor clutch engagement. To accurately determine what pressure the A/C low pressure switch opens and closes at use Kent Moore GE-47742 which will allow the technician to measure the switch point pressure at the switch. Using a scan tool, monitor the "low pressure switch" status while monitoring the "low side" pressure at the switch to determine the switch points of the low pressure switch. The low pressure switch "connector seal" must be removed before plugging it into the switch for testing. The "plunger effect" of plugging the connector with seal into the switch induces a pressure on the back side of the switch, this pressure will skew the opening/closing characteristics of the switch 5-10 psi until the pressure bleeds off. The time required for the connection induced pressure to bleed off can take 20 minutes or longer Do you have the proper diagnostic tools ? Factory scan tool , A/C gauges ? You best bet , take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop !!

The ring that retains the pump in the tank needs to be rotated counterclockwise about 15 - 20 degrees so it will come free. If you are chiseling off any tabs, you may wind up having to replace the entire tank. The tabs locate and lock the retaining ring. See the attached YouTube vehicle.

That;s fuse #4 check brake switch to ignition do you have curse control that will also come into play . What you really need are the factory manuals and a meter or test light to track this down . A company called HELM .COM prints most factory manuals for most vehicles .50 to 100 dollars you need them to fix especially a 96 Chevy that's the first year OBD 2 they tend to have design problems and are hard to work on .
