OBD code P2A00

2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 6.6L Diesel 140000 miles
I've been having a long standing issue with this stupid code. Started over a year ago, I would get a check engine light with code P2A00, but only when my truck tried to go into regen. After about 100 miles the code and check engine light would clear so I figured it was a sensor not reading right, but didnt really matter. This was on going every time my truck would try to do a regen. Fast forward to a couple of months ago, I'm towing my camper and I hear a loud pop and my truck stalls and shuts down. I could start my truck but it would run for about 10 seconds and shut off. Under the hood I fou… Read complete

Crank no start

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Extended cab 6.0l/ Base 199999 miles
I bought this truck to be a work truck but it has not run since I loaded it on the trailer. I replaced fuel pump, checked ground wires to pump and frame, changed fuel rail injectors and o-rings along with fuse/relays but I can’t seem to get it to start or run with out spraying starter fluid in the throttle body. I’ve gone to have had a buddy to spray starter fluid while I cranked and noticed the security light flashing so I check all under dash and found no issues other than a broken gear shift lock. Need some guidance on all grounds or a good wiring diagram.

Hey, Jaden, It sounds like your transfer case is stuck, coukd be a few things wrong but easy stuff first, turn the key on, dont start and try to activate the transfer to 4x4, listen for the actuator motor and clicking from the transfer case, if not then next is to do an inspection on the transfer case, check to make sure the wiring is connected and no broken or fraid wires, then pull the fill plug and check your level, this is weird but smell the oil. If it smells burned you may need to service and or repair the transfer case, This year of chevy runs alot of Miles but the pump inside the case can rub through and create a small hole and slowly leak out the Tranfer case oil and go dry, check for oil leaks around the case. More difficult task is to pull off the connector to the actuator motor and plug in a good working one and test, if it works then its either your installed actuator motor is bad or the transfer case is probably seized. Hope this helps

It also needs to be in neutral for the actuator to work.

Troubleshoot brakes. SolvedSolved

2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 2006Duramax Diesel,6.6 liter 2111111 miles
My ABS light came on. Since then my brakes are weak and I get a chatter vibration when I press the pedal. Also the pedal seems to sink further than normal. I tried to put a diagnostic tool on it and the port seems to be broken too. So I am wondering the basic protocol on all troubleshooting to find the brake issue.

Interior Dome Lights

2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Crew cab z71 97000 miles
My dome lights don't stay on in my truck. They flash when I open the door and they flash when I start it up. Its not a door sensor issue because all my door signal the dash when they are open. The lights dont always glash when the doors are opened.
