I am having a problem with the Sidekick. There are two things that were worked on and now it won't start. Unfortunately, it could be either one.
I was wiring up some accessories last week and I checking the wires from the keyless entry / immobilizer circuit. They were not working like expected them to and I stopped messing with it. I am not sure if something I did while checking the wires caused a problem somewhere else. How does the immobilizer work? Does it send a signal to the PCM that must later be reset? I did not try to start it last week after I was working on it. I only had the one day at home and was mainly swapping things door panels and other cosmetic parts.
I came back from a week out of town and decided to swap the transmission range sensor. This was a possible cause for a 1875 trouble code that was preventing me getting the Sidekick inspected. I did not try to start it, because I didn't want to get it hot. I pulled the trans cooler hard lines, removed and replaced the transmission range sensor, and installed new flexible trans cooler lines. When I tried to start it, the engine will not turn over. I checked to make sure the range sensor was connected, checked the shift positions again, verified the reverse lights come on when it is in reverse, made sure it rolls when in neutral, and doesn't roll when in park. I have tried to start it in park and neutral. I also installed the old range sensor and it still would not start. I am sure the I put everything back together.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. I have to go back out of town tomorrow, but will keep working on it tonight.
