BodybyFisher Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hey Mike, good luck with the new car! Did you ever fix the P0741 code on your SLS?, if I am not mistaken, you had that code.

mikeal1892 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Funny enough yes I did. I sold the SLS a year ago.. 9 Cadillacs I have had now and Im still learning. I have the 00 and the 99 Devilles. I almost got an 02 Seville. Any clues on what those codes are ? I keep looking but can not find them Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeal1892 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Im also getting once in a while a P0742 stuck on, What could I do with that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Mike I am running out for a bit, check this link for those codes.

mikeal1892 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 AHH ! B0249 - Heater/Defrost/AC Door Range Error Basicly what happens is air will only come out of the defroster I have a buddy with an 03 that does this and it did do it when I was on my way home, but that was it. B0429 - Temperature Control #3 Rear Circuit Range/Performance These were history codes U1016 - Loss of Class 2 Communication with VCM U1016 - Loss of Communications with PCM U1064 - Loss of Communications with DIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Mike, B0429 is a very common DTC. If the rear (auxiliary) actuator is slightly out of synch from the commanded position it will set that code. I had mine replaced only because it was under warranty. If you are not having a problem with the rear seat temperature, ignore it. P0742 - TCC System Stuck On If the TCC is stuck on, the engine will die every time you stop. It's like trying to stop a manual trans without stepping on the clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had 190,000 miles and I had bought it for $200. The only way I could get it home was rev her up and drop it into gear and burn out, then it would work. Until the next stop sign or light of course. Then I realized that the switch was on the outside and I could have just unplugged it to get home. -Dusty- - 02 Seville STS, white diamond - 93 Sixty Special, Tan with vinyl top - 79 Coupe DeVille, Tan with Tan top - 06 GMC Sierra Z71, Black - 92 Silverado C1500, black and grey - 83 Chevy K10 Silverado, Black and Grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeal1892 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yes, it will do a hard shift sometimes when stopping (p0742).... Im starting to feel like Im a fool for being so cheap. There was no current codes when I had test drove it... I could have went to columbus and got an 03 with 81k miles for 5,900 with no problems.. I have put brand new tires on and a left front wheel hub and it still sounds like a 4x4. The guy that checked it out says the tire rod ends are good.. I have never had a front end problem with one of these cars.. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeal1892 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Would a power flush help with this p 0742 code ? What can I do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lothos Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Would a power flush help with this p 0742 code ? What can I do ? A transmission flush? Never ever do a tranny flush.

It may be worth a try. Good Luck, Britt Britt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeal1892 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I found some seat trakcs on car-part for 100 for each side.. Im going to get both today.

He did remind me the selnoid was the first place to start but Im not certian on how to do that on my own. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
