Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Set Codes, need help...

[jtisdale]

While cruising around today, I felt a stumble and I stopped to check the codes. This is what I got...

PCM P-0500

ECU P-1693



Does anybody know what these are for? Seem to run ok, and everything is in check.

Not sure exactly, but the 5 (in 0500) would mean idle control or vehicle speed control and the 6 (in 1693) means computer output circuit.

per my 2000 service manual

p0500 - No vehicle speed sensor signal detected during road load conditions

p1693 - A fault has been generated in the companion engine control module.



Take it to the dealer and have them do their thing, that is what a warranty is for

Is your speedo working? I set the P0500 code of once when I was sitting in my truck for a prolonged time with the A/C on. I was holding the rpms up in neutral and it must of thought that I was driving with the speedo un-hooked. Chris

Yep, the speedo works, as does everything else. Thanks for the help, now its back to the dealer.

Why goto the dealer over something so little?



Unhook the batteries for a while and see if you can regenrate the code.



If your Vehicle Speed Sensor is truely bad it'll surely come back... ... . but its nuthing to "worry" about.
