1992 Chevy Silverado 4X4 Troubleshooting

The 1992 Chevy Silverado 4x4 is a pickup truck that allows users to haul or tow heavy trailers or loads. If you are having problems with your 1992 Chevy Silverado, you will need an OBD (on-board diagnostic) machine to check the engine. Gaining access to an OBD machine will require you to rent one from a body shop or auto repair center. After you get the troubleshooting code from the OBD scan tool, you will be able to fix your Silverado.

Instructions

1

Look in the footwell of the drivers side of the truck for the 16-pin plug. This runs off of the main wiring harness on the left of the fuse panel.

2

Plug the OBD cord into the plug. Turn on the OBD machine and then turn on the ignition in the truck so that the electrical panel comes on.

3

Press the "Start" button on your scan tool and then wait for the machine to send you a troubleshooting code.

4

Unplug the OBD pin from the truck and then turn the truck off.

5

Compare the code against the code explanation in your ODB erence manual to find out the problem with the engine. The erence manual comes with the machine rental. It allows you to look up the troubleshooting code for the specific reason your truck is not working properly.
