Hi Guys, Wondering if anyone recalls the old discussion on case ‘gear oil’ for the s10e/ev1 drive trains? We think it was something unique to this application, but I cannot seem to find it in any of the manuals/specs. Oddly, I find all the other fluids, but not the case oil. T...

Step one would be to check for power and ground and a pulse resulting from each output with a voltmeter. You will need to jack up only one wheel and spin it very slowly in neutral, otherwise the motor itself won't turn over, rather the differential will. Once, I had the encode...

Hi Greg, Thanks very much for your info. I did notice the DTC 089 tell you to do a High Voltage Test but the DTC 090 does not. I don't know why sense they seem to be related. I don't have a 2 channel scope to monitor the square wave output of the speed sensor or a speed genera...

It’s a square type wave 0-12V. Signal A leads B by 90 degrees going forward, and the opposite in reverse. I notice DTC 089 is the same except "forward control circuit failed power up". In the diagnostics section for this DTC it first indicates to check phase winding resistance...

Hi George, regarding your question of DTC 090. I just checked it on the service manual, and on the diagram it seems it should be a problem with the drive motor speed and direction sensor, or its wiring towards the PIM (power inverter module). You can check unpluging the connec...
