Re: Why dont my messages get posted????
well, that's odd. perhaps you never posted? for some reason you are currently 'moderated'. its nothing personal. I don't understand. ?Been a member for years From: ev_update@... To: ev_update@... Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2015 13:00:26 -0700 Subject: [ev_update] Why dont my messages get posted???? ?
Because ?you are a new user, subject to automatic moderation, and I, the moderator, also have a full time job.?

Re: Chronic Limp Mode - 97 EVC
FYI - you probably could have sped up that "transmission learning" with the transmission reset procedure.
This was required after the "re-wiring" of my melted wiring harness going to the transmission. Posted photo of my melted connector/wires -? ?? Subject: Resetting the Eurovan Adaptive Transmission Sequencing The Eurovan uses an electronically controlled transmission which sets shifting points based upon engine load and RPM information that is "learned" from your specific driving habits.? This information, which is stored in the transmission's electronic control unit, can sometimes become garbled and may need to be reset to the default pattern,so that it will "re-learn" your driving style. In order to perform this reset, do the following: 1. Turn on the ignition, without starting the engine. 2. Turn the ignition back to the off position. 3. Turn ignition on again without starting the engine and depress the accelerator all the way to the floor, holding the pedal there for a? minimum of ten seconds. 4. Release the accelerator pedal and then start the engine in the regular manner. 5. Drive the vehicle making sure that the transmission shifts through all four gears. ? |

Re: Replacing lock cylinder in door handle
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks Norby, that's a great help. Initially I was trying to decide whether that pin was a pin or some tiny screw and I didn't want to start hammering at it without being sure.? Paula On Jun 22, 2015, at 10:22 AM, Norby Lettenmaier norbylett@... [ev_update] <ev_update@...> wrote:

Re: Replacing lock cylinder in door handle
There is a small pin that holds the lock in place.? Use a small punch to knock it out.? It piece it holds in is spring loaded so watch for the spring.? It is what returns the key to home position.? Insert your key and get tumblers lined up then pull out the lock out.? I've done this a few times.? Some new door handles come with locks and keys and some don't.? I'm still using the same key.? Easy work for lock smith as John mentioned. Norby 99EVC On Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 11:28 AM, John Brown john.mcdonald.brown@... [ev_update] <ev_update@...> wrote:

Re: Chronic Limp Mode - 97 EVC
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI had limp mode with my ¡®97EVC twice and did a whole cleanup of the
connectors to battery, ECU, ABS module and also, cleaned the big plug to the
transmission.....it helped much ¡®cause I don¡¯t have limp mode anymore since that
time.....Finally, got a tranny oil and filter change again and my mechanic found
a culprit: one of the solenoid connector on the valve body was loose. So he took
it off, cleaned it with stuff and curved something around it so it would stay in
place without getting loose any more....Since that fix, I never went into limp
mode again and I have driven 10,000 miles so far !!! Try to clean everything and
also check your valve body carefully ¡®cause that¡¯s the one to be
suspected....It¡¯s all ELECTRONIC over there and limp mode is caused by
ELECTRONIC failure somewhere !!! Good luck...

Re: Chronic Limp Mode - 97 EVC
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýwhat the heck is "overdrive" From: ev_update@... To: ev_update@... Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 12:15:16 -0700 Subject: [ev_update] Re: Chronic Limp Mode - 97 EVC ?
Thanks, Duckdive and all the others.
I checked and rechecked a bunch possible causes, then rolled the dice last weekend and started a longish trip in limp mode hoping that the tranny would figure itself out, and it did.? After about an hour of driving at 55-60MPH (~2900RPM) she decided to go into overdrive, and stayed out of limp mode until today.? All is good - for the moment.? Duckdive, I did mess with the wires coming out of the connector on the back left side of the transaxel. I've had the connector off multiple times, and have cleaned/inspected both sides etc. But never really focused on the wires coming out of the connector. This might have helped, but I'll never know unless I can repeat the procedure. While I hope not, I imagine I'll get the opportunity, and this will be my focus next time there's a problem. This isn't terribly satisfying from a root cause perspective. Stephan mentioned the ignition switch glitch. I haven't really considered it because it was replaced not long ago. One thing I did learn was a cool trick for cleaning the pins on the TCU and ECU. I used one of my kid's gummy erasers from their school bag.? The softer rubber type that are usually whitish in color.? As I ran it over the pin array, the pins cut into the eraser.? This cut channels into the eraser that fit snugly over the pins the deeper they cut in. The result was very shiny pins, better than any other method I've tried before. I'll update the board over time about the success of this "fix".? Thanks again.? |

Re: Norcold woes
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSam is your email??sletz@...?? Cheryl To: ev_update@... From: ev_update@... Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:39:03 -0400 Subject: Re: [ev_update] Norcold woes ?
Cheryl This solves a problem if your Norcold (Model 3163)? fridge lights ( green light goes on) but then- after you release the button- the green light goes out and you can't get the green light to stay on- no matter what you do. Contact me off-group and we'll talk about this! Thanks Sam 02 EVC On 6/16/2015 4:45 PM, Cheryl MacLeod

Re: Replacing lock cylinder in door handle
Hi Paula,
I assume you are talking about the exterior door handle since you want to change the cylinder. The procedure is very simple; with the door open, there are two screws to remove and then you just pull out the door handle. I have added a file with the procedure called: " Remove outer door handle.pdf " to the file section, it is from my Bentley manual. Hopefully this is what you need.
