I fooled around with the car a bit this afternoon. Pulled the RR inner
fender liner and found the connector for the sensors, took those apart
and cleaned them and sprayed cleaner then swabbed them out. It was
actually fairly clean around the block although a bit dirty. I hosed it
all down under the liner, there was a lot of dirt in there. The liner
was kinda chewed up so not sure if that is just wear and tear or
someone(s) has been in there before. I took the heat gun and dried
everything out in the connector just to make sure it was all clean,
looked good and was dry.
There is another connector back around the diff that seems to connect to
both sides, it is in a stupid place where it can get a lot of water and
crap. It was not particularly dirty but when I took it apart water ran
out of the wires and connector. hmmmm not good. So I sprayed that with
cleaner, swabbed it with alcohol and hit it with the heat and it got dry
so that was good. I will wrap it with something when I'm all done.
Started the car up and cleared codes, it ran for awhile with no codes
showing but the air pump would not come on. The car is jacked up so
maybe it needs to be down for that to happen. I jumpered the relay
again and the pump worked so it is not turning on. It pumped up and did
hold pressure in the system fairly well so does not seem to be much
leakage. While I have the car up and tires off I should test the
connection with some soapy water to make sure there are no leaks
After awhile I got the RR code again, solenoids open circuit, so I guess
it was not the connectors. Maybe the bag is bad inside where these
solenoids are. It also threw a code for the relay then, maybe that was
due to me fooling around with it. New relays coming tomorrow so can
swap one out. I will also get the fender liners and tires back on and
drop it on the ground and see what happens. With it on the ground I
will put the Majick Computer on it and see what I can make it do.
Given the car was OK before with the same RR solenoid codes it is kind
of a puzzlement as to why it was slammed after doing the tranny.
More to come...
