    Crazy Stuff on my 08 Hybrid Tahoe - Revs up and Dies

    Thanks for all your details - and you're right. The Scanner was the mechanic's and he's $140 long gone. Surprised he actually charged me (especially because he said if he knew it was a hybrid he wouldn't come out, but I clearly told him it was), but I digress. I have a jumping battery that...

    I'm going to close this thread because I found the BCU fuse issue. Started a new thread with the TECH readouts. I guess I can't close the thread, but let's reconvene on the new thread. :) Thanks!

    Crazy Stuff on my 08 Hybrid Tahoe - Revs up and Dies

    This is an offshoot of another thread I started thinking I bricked my Tahoe after putting in an aftermarket radio. I since realized that I blew my BCU fuse. Replaced it and it started fine, but then redlines and dies. I've paid two mechanics to come out (because I can't take it anywhere) and...

    I have some of those pids on Torque. Would not have helped in this situation, I don't think.

    No Crank

    Mechanic just told me he can't make it back 'til Friday. Blech. Yeah - I can clear the codes and start it again with my little OBDII, but I'm a bit scared. Truck has 300,000 miles on it. But replacements are $$$

    The 2A fuse went to the Body Control Unit. No idea how it blew unless I did it somehow tinkering with my aftermarket radio.

    OK - so a really weird development in this situation. We discovered that the 2A BCU fuse blew. We replaced it, and the truck started up just fine... BUT THEN - after idling for nearly 30 seconds, the engine on its own revved up to redline. When we cut off the power, it made some crazy...

    08 Tahoe - CD Player Busted

    Yeah - I did that, and it was pretty plug and play, but it bricked my Tahoe. Now I have an anti-theft error that I can't clear and I can't crank the engine. The new head unit was barely OK. Over time (like 20 minutes) it would stop sounding good and sound super staticky. Came with what it...

    Thanks. Saw the other thread. Tried everything I could, including putting the original radio back in. No dice. May have to call a mobile tech to it. :(

    No Crank

    Having some interesting issues with my 08 HyHoe. I replaced the OEM radio head with an aftermarket. Now the truck won’t start. The security icon is on. It won’t turn over at all (hybrid owners know these don’t “crank” in the traditional sense). Battery shows 12v. Won’t accept a jump start...

    08 Tahoe - CD Player Busted

    Hi all, My 2008 HyHoe's CD/DVD player busted. CD couldn't be read or ejected. I assume that the mechanism failed somewhere halfway between in and out. Anyway, the stuck CD was making an annoying clicking sound for weeks before I finally forcefully pulled the CD out (yeah, not exactly a...

    2008 Tahoe Hybrid 12v Battery Constantly Dying

    Did these come from the factory with quick release? Mine had them when I bought it 2nd hand. They were eventually replaced for similar reasons. These are good trucks. Just need a little TLC. Coming up on 290K now with: 1 new engine, 1 replacement Hybrid battery, 1 replacement AC Compressor...

    Just in case anyone runs into this on their HyHoe, note that this will prevent the vehicle from entering AutoStop. In my case, the PCV came unattached. Popped it in, error went away. FWIW...
