2000 Chevrolet C Tahoe 2WD V8-4.8L VIN VSECTION Comprehensive Component Monitor Diagnostic
Comprehensive component monitoring diagnostics are required to monitor emissions-related input and output powertrain components.
Input Components
The PCM monitors the input components for circuit continuity and out-of-range values. This includes performance checking. Performance checking refers to indicating a fault when the signal from a sensor does not seem reasonable, such as a Throttle Position (TP) sensor that indicates high throttle position at low engine loads or MAP voltage. The input components may include, but are not limited to, the following sensors:
^ The Vehicle Speed (VSS) Sensor
^ Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
^ Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor
^ Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
^ Knock Sensor (KS)
^ Throttle Position (TP) sensor
^ Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
^ Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor
^ Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
In addition to the circuit continuity and rationality check, the ECT sensor is monitored for its ability to achieve a steady state temperature to enable Closed Loop fuel control.
Output Components
Diagnose the output components for the proper response to PCM commands. Components where functional monitoring is not feasible will be monitored for circuit continuity and out-of-range values if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are not limited to, the following circuits:
^ The Idle Air Control (IAC) motor
^ The EVAP system
^ The electronic transmission controls
^ The A/C relay, if so equipped
^ The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) output
^ The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) control
^ The cruise control enable, if so equipped

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
