1997 chevy Venture ext
3400 V6
dash lights = check engine
GM Computer codes =
1870
Repair work done prior = was clunking on accelerated left turn but topped up tranny
fluid and it quit...seems to shift normally.
GM tech = any
question = please advise what a code 1870 may be...van seems to be running and
shifting properly..check engine light is on.


SF:
Code P1870 is described as " Transmission component slipping "
The Computer is seeing a component slipping while looking at input and output speed.
The transmission will adapt to this and raise the internal line pressure to try and  
compensate. It will be able to do that for awhile until the slip gets too bad and wont be  
able to compensate anymore. Then you will start to feel the slip.
You can try a fluid and filter change, but this usually does not help for too long.  
The pressure control solenoid may be the faulty part, or
eventually the trans will need to come out and be inspected.
99 chevy venture
Engine size = 3.5
Warning lights:
ABS and airbag.
Question: The part that hold the tire on 3 of the things are broken off and the other 2 are broken but
wont come off what part do i need and how do i fix it?
Also the abs light stays on as well as the airbag light.
Answer:
You are probably talking about the studs that the lug nuts go on to secure a wheel to the vehicle. If there are
broken studs, you are in danger of having the wheel come off the vehicle while driving. There are studs
available that will need to be pressed in, but you could also be in need of a hub bearing. The hub bearing
includes new wheel studs and attatches to the knuckle of the suspension on the appropriate side, front or
back. That repair will have to be made by a professional.
For the ABS and
Airbag lights, you would need to get the computers scanned for codes to see what part of the
systems is having a problem.
