Hello Everyone, I'm probably confused again -- nothing new there :) -- and need some straightening out. The '98 s10e ... I thought the only s10e's with the fasteners on the rear lip of the battery box were the last built native Ovonic NiMH trucks. Now, we found a truck with th...

Steve, I have a 98 with native NiMH. I'll look for and try to take a clear picture of the GM battery label, if it is there. It may take a couple days, we just had a good snow in Denver and it's melting, and the truck is in the driveway. Robin Broomfield CO From: Steve Hawkins...

Hello Everyone, I am wondering if anyone out there has a '98 S-10E that has a native NiMH pack? The native packs have a set of fasteners across the rear upper/low joint in front of the rear axle. If anyone has a native pack I am hoping to get a good picture of the GM battery "...

Brian: I sat in my truck and experimented. Aside from the two temperatures that are certainly reading erroneously on your vehicle, the throttle is giving you an error. Where you see a high percentage, you ought to see the 15% and 21% (Mine are at 14% and 20%). There are 3 more...

Brian: You have a critical fault being read by the bias control module. The DTC's should be in the 030 - 040's range. Surprized nothing shows up. It should at least register in the DTC history for the drive control module. Might be your temp sensor which should read reasonably...

I think you should see the 3 accelerator pedal potentiometers changing voltage regardless of park position or not. Park signal should be an interlock on the drive enable. My best guess without taking out the tech2. Would not hurt to take your transmission position indicator sw...

Yes a senior moment. The RAV leveling is two hours I should remember that since I have watched it many times. Sometimes the balance current goes to 2 amps then back to three. Even if you figure the full 3 amp rate for two hours this is six amp hours spread over two hours. The...
