2002 Chevy Tahoe Service Ride Control comes one when it's cold outside 46 degrees or lower and truck having problems starting.

The Service Ride Control light comes on when it's cold outside 46 degrees or lower and won't go off until it warms up and you restart the truck. Not a huge deal I suppose, just annoying. Second part is that here lately the truck doesn't seem to want to start. One day I went to leave for work and forgot something in the house. Turned the truck off and went in for maybe 2 mins. Came back out and tried to start the truck again and it just clicked once when the key was turned. After messing with it for 5 or 10 mins it finally started. When I got off work it wouldn't start again for about 30 mins. Finally did and drove it home with no problems. Let it sit a week and just started taking my wife's truck to work. Couple days ago I went out and tried to start mine and it fired right up. Drove it all day with no issues. The next day wouldn't start again. Any ideas? I checked battery connections and they are fine. Thanks.

SOURCE: Guages when crazy. Now won't even try to start.

You likely have it repaired by now but it sounds like a classic case of oxidized battery or cable connection (sometimes mis-diagnosed as bad battery but cured with new (clean) battery)

Sounds like an antitheft problem I would start with the antitheft system. Usually when you only have one key all keys have to be programmed together even the original. When you have more than one it is easy to program additional keys.

Fuel pump relay sound bad. Under the hood in the fuse box is the location of the relay. Look under the cover for the diagram to locate it faster. Hope this helps. Please keep me posted. Good luck

More than likely it is your starter solenoid. The starter will have to be removed. Here is a link to tell how to get the starter out. http://www.ehow.com/how_6496417_replace-starter-2003-toyota-corolla.html

Coolant for your make / model is Reddish - Pink colour and should have a reading of -25 thats negative 25 degrees the Lower the Better even - 50 .. Why ?? - 50 is 50 %% antifreeze / Coolant Concentrate MIX Gives Hot weather cooling Ability or very cold weather starting / winter HEAT .

Don't let that go! It may be nothing but you might make a problem later where there isn't one now. That not something you should put off.

Cold weather starting problem

I would say it's bad contacts in the ignition switch. Metals change dimensions depending on temperature, looks like 45 degrees is the trick point for whatever is in there. My 04 Silverado 5.3 with 196,000 has the ticking, but it is gone within 10-15 seconds.

A Service Ride Control message came on my 2005 Chevy Tahoe with 28,000 miles- Dealer diagonosed it as the EBCM and charged me $750 - on the way home the message came back on - why?

Electronic Brake Control Module,
I really don't understand why they would change this module if your message stated,Ride control,
The ride control on the tahoes is an airbag (air powered shocks) leveling system. If I remember right, they are only in the rear. They are meant to raise or lower the rear end to be level with the front end. To do this, it has air shocks in the back, which are controlled by a computer and a compressor probably under the hood. Now, the light could mean many things, the most common being that an airbag broke, and air is leaking out. You may be able to hear a whine of the compressor trying to keep it filled. Less common, but possible are that the compressor is dead, or a line ruptured. The most common reason that the air shocks go out, are when the vehicle is lifted (tire change or such) without the leveling system being deactivated. Hope this helps. Good luck.

gregg it is best to allow a vehicle some right hand lead due top crown of most roads. road crown is designed to slope right and factory vehicle alignment usually follows slope. if u fall asleep or lose steering control of vehicle road crown" right float" will lead to ditch instead of oncoming traffic. if this really bugs u ask alignment technician to make left wheel .2 degrees more positive camber then right wheel and request caster be set no greater then .3 degrees difference between the 2 wheels request printout to verify. this should remove lead considering there is no tire pull. general motors compensates for road crown using caster typically but i prefer camber compensation

What does service ride control mean on a 2002 chevy tahoe?

It should be referring to its rear air-ride suspension system. That is if it came equipped with that feature.

Rough Engine When it is Cold

Sounds like the intake gaskets are sucking air when cold. When it warms up then they expand and take up the space and no longer **** air. You can test the theory by spraying a little water on the intake while it's running if it starts missing even more then that is most likly the problem. It's not a hard job to do, but if you do not have wobble sockets then it will be a little more diffacult.

But if they want 600 bucks to do plugs and wires then you need to find another shop to work on your tahoe! That's alot of money for something that only takes a few minutes to do, and the parts shouldn't be much more than 150-200 on the high side!
