The Chevy dealer has refused to repair the TC vane position solenoid on my 2005 Silverado 6.6 lly under warranty. No other repair shop here has the software to do a "turbo learn" fuction. Is there a way to use hptuner to allow for the replacement of TC sensors by other than Tech2 Chevy software?
RS
Not to my knowledge, from what I've read tech 2 is needed for this function currently.
I have the latest version of HPtune. How do I access the control of the TC vane settings. If I can get to this I might be able to duplicate the procedure?:
Thanks

Under tq management, however I doubt you'd be able to duplicate a learn procedure by changing tables in the editor.
Thanks...
Truck is stock Powertrain warranty not worth the paper its written on.

Bill,
Have checked with three dealers in Hunbolt Co, Eureka Ca.
They refuse to answer why the !00,000 5 year warranty does not cover defective Turbo sensors when in direct conflict with the written warranty I was furnished when I purchased this truck. My guess is this will be the norm on other parts, egr ect,,, In research I am finding that a lot of replacements require a "LEARNING" fuction to work properly. HP might consider incorporating these into the next version, otherwise all of US will be raped at the service desk, if there still is one....thanks again.

Can you explain the whole story here ? What happened ?
I made an appointment with the local GM dealer, NORTHWOOD CHEVROLET HYUNDAI after having a cycling P0045 and P2563 cel code. On arrival I was told I must sign a work order for $185.00 dollars for them to inspect the car. I ask if the warranty would cover this and was told that he could not say until after the check. Their check shown a radical current at the TC vane solenoid and I was told that it was covered by one of the two applicable warranties. I would be contacted when the parts arrived. A week passed with no call so, I returned and inquired what the status was. I was informed that they had determined that the sensor was only covered for 36,000 miles and that the price for the sensor was $ 325.00 plus the inspection fee of $ 185.00 plus labor -and -wasn’t positive this would fix the problem - that it could be the TURBO and that also wasn’t covered under warranty. I refused to authorize the work and requested copies of the paper work. They refused to give me any copies what so ever. I started to leave with the paper work in hand and was jumped by five of the staff and had to give up the paper work after a choke hold was placed from behind. I then called 911 for help. After the police arrived I did receive partial hard copy.
2005 California Emission Control Warranty
General Motors Warranty Coverage
The California Air Resources Board and General Motors are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on
your 2005 vehicle.
General Motors Corporation warrants to the owner that the vehicle was designed, built, and equipped so as to conform at
the time of sale with applicable regulations of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or to the California
Air Resources Board stringent anti-smog standards, and is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause
the vehicle to fail to conform with those regulations during the warranty period.
• For heavy duty gasoline engines, the warranty period is 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
• For heavy duty diesel engines, the warranty period is 5 years, or 100,000 miles, or 3,000 hours of operation,
whichever comes first.
Emission-related defects in the genuine GM components listed below, including related diagnostic costs, parts and labor,
• Miscellaneous Items Used in Conjunction with the Repair of the Above Components are Covered
Emission-related actuators, belts, clamps, connectors, ducts, fittings, gaskets, grommets, hoses, housings, mounting
hardware, pipes, pulleys, relays, sealing devices, sensors, springs, switches, tubes, valves, and wiring.
If failure of one of the components listed above results in failure of another part, both will be covered by this warranty.
I then contacted various Chevy dealers and simply ask “IF” the Turbo sensors were covered under the !00,000 mile warranty and the answer was always the same WE DON”T KNOW.
So….there is not a independent garage w/TECH 2 software to do the “LEARN” modes needed for a lot of the service repairs that will have to be done….So until I find a way to bypass Chevy I have a problem truck. PS the solenoid is $ 149.00 at Gmdirect.
