Diagnostic Trouble Code Definitions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2000 GMC Savana Special, 2000 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2000 GMC Savana, 2000 GMC Pickup, and 2000 GMC C3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) retrieved from PCM may be either engine or transmission related. Only engine-related DTCs are covered in this article. For transmission-related DTCs, see appropriate ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article in AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.

The DTCs indicate failure of a specific sensor and/or circuit. Sensor/circuit diagnosis may indicate replacement of PCM.
If PCM is replaced at any point during diagnostic testing and if condition is still not corrected after replacing PCM, the following may be the cause:
- An incorrect PCM may cause a malfunction, which may or may not set a DTC.
- The PCM connector may be the problem. Connector terminals may have to be removed from connector to be properly checked.
- Replacement PCM may be faulty.
- Intermittent problem. Make a careful physical inspection of affected sensor/circuit.
- A shorted solenoid, coil relay, or harness may be the cause of PCM failure. Use Short Circuit Tester (J-34636) to check for short circuits.
