2006 Hummer H3 Solenoid Actuator PN 12615873

Replacement of the Solenoid Actuator for the 2006 Hummer H3 - GM Part Number 12615873

[@alexberrios21]

Thanks for this Video!!!!....I literally spent $500 in mechanic work in the past week...diagnostics, MAF cleaning, throttle body cleaning, head gasket repair sealer, air filter, new pvc valves, oil flush, oil change, spark plug checks....I stumbled onto this video after still having the “horrible rough idle”...got the part at autozone ($69) and yes people DO NOT BUY CHEAP online parts!!!!..replaced the solenoid following the steps and BAM!!!!!! ....you saved me another $160 in mechanic labor when I told them I wanted to replace it for me....literally took me 5 mins!...and my H3 is purring like a kitten....if you’re ever in NJ I owe you a beer bro!!!!

[@loscrimefighter1899]

Wow-my mechanic quoted me 250$ yesterday. Thanks so much for putting this video up!

[@instanttang1771]

Thanks for the detailed video, helped out a bunch.

[@RIpped_407]

Thanks for the vid. Just had thenp0014 drop on our 2006 at 190,000 miles. Ran fine with cel on. Got it home scanned it to get that code, cleared it, seems to be running fine, but wanted to know the location of the part, so I thankfully landed on your video that shows how easy peezy it will be IF the cel reappears.

[@michaelgamble9650]

Thats Awesome! Thanks for watching too!

[@RIpped_407]

Just took it out and cleaned real good with carb cleaner and reinstalled. Was funk nasty. Oil checks out ok, still full and golden like pee.😁👍

[@richardgalbraith6165]

This helped a lot, thank you.

[@davidgreen8089]

GREAT VIDEO BROTHER !!!! SIMPLE -TO THE POINT

[@chaverria]

Great video! You did a good job! I will tell you that when you went to crank the h3 I was screaming, “man open the garage door! Open the door! “ lol Glad you opened it! Dramatic video for me haha

[@michaelgamble9650]

Haha yeah don't want to be asfixiated lol

[@RIpped_407]

No doubt our h3 has some insanely stank exhaust fumes as well,

[@mjrami]

what kind of code you were getting, that made you replace this sensor?

[@texhelton152]

Have a question what would cause scarring on the sensor thanks for any help

[@abdallahmoussa1983]

My front factory locker is not engaging on my adventure 2009 package. Does it work based on an actuator? Cant figure out where is it located on the front axle.

[@victormartinez5767]

Should of watched your video first. I just paid a mechanic 180 dollars to do what you did. I could of done it myself. Great video

[@dannsoto5507]

What are the small ones called?

[@emsman59]

Did u ever figure out what was causing your rough idle?

[@Anthony-ip8fp]

towards the end of the video what was those two pieces on the front of the motor that you took off

[@z06badboy18]

Anthony Lee what was it?

[@mahmoudeldirani7463]

Cam and crank shaft sensors

[@mahmoudeldirani7463]

1st of all that is VVT and not solenoid. The solenoid is on the righ side of the engine. VVT and cam shaft sensor if bad they will cause chugging and idling, but then you will get a Check Engine light ON, if not then they are not faulty! To help you out and others in here, the chuggin, rough start, or rattling can be for one of the following reasons unless you have a code that tells you stright away what is your problem: 1- air filter (replace) or check if it is well installed (if new) 2- clean the air mas sensor. 3- clean the throtle body. 4- check the Sparks and the Spark plug cables. By removing them one by one and put them back on one by one while the car is turned on. The one that will not reduce the engine power is a faulty one and u need to change. 5- finally check your fuel injectors for low performance one. Hope i helped

[@thomasgarza3965]

Shittt what a big help homie...thanks

[@devildogg112985]

Do you know what makes the hummer rev to 3-4000 wont shift. Feels like its stuck in one gear just happened suddenly.

[@mahmoudeldirani7463]

​@devildogg112985 Revving is not at all connected to shifting, orrrrrr ((and i don'twant to say it, but maybe a faulty BCM might do it)). It might just be a mere coincidence. Also u don't really want to shift the car while revving 3 to 4k rpm😅😅😅 Try those one by one 1- remove battery Negative terminal and put it back in after 2 mins. 2- if same, then shut down car, check and clean the air mas and the throttle body and make sure no oil is in the canister between air filter and throutle body if there is just empty them ((no water using)) you may just blow it off with a compressor.. 3- if same (doubt it), check for any lights on dashboard and get it scanned, it might be something related to faulty Throttle, faulty BCM or so.

[@devildogg112985]

@mahmoudeldirani7463 ok thank you i will try that today. I was going to go buy a shift solenoid today, thought that was the problem. I will do this as you advised. I appreciate you. Thank you.

[@stainedangle70]

Try your air filter if they get dirty they start to chug pretty bad.

[@alex6261971]

may i ask , what was the reason for replacing the solenoid actuator...?

[@michaelgamble9650]

because my Engine Codes pointed me to that part as a possible issue. You can learn more about the Solenoid Actuators here: www.fixmyoldride.com/camshaft-position-actuator-solenoid.html

do you know how to replace a trans control soleniod for a hummer h3 2008??

[@motavationexperience7065]

my 07 is rough at idle. i did the plugs and throttle body ,air flow sensor per your vid. the car ran great for 24 hrs. back to rough idle.????did you ever figure it out?i learned alot from your vids but im still chasing the fix. i have no codes

[@michaelgamble9650]

Wow that quick? I would check your Intake again and the Throttle Body and see if you have any new fluid/water/oil getting in there. have you checked your Air Filter lately? Reason I mention any fluid inn the throttle body/air intake is if you have a leak that could be the cause of the entire problem. hope you figure that out!

[@motavationexperience7065]

@@michaelgamble9650 hey thanks for responding. Yeah I did the air filter. I did not do the two sensors that you showed on this video. Maybe you'll answer one more question for me. Do Those sensors throw codes? The intake and the exhaust sensor?

[@michaelgamble9650]

​@@motavationexperience7065 I can't remember, but I do not think those two items threw out codes, UNLESS I just forgot. Sorry. This is a good read about the code/error I had originally. www.700r4transmissionhq.com/p0014-hummer-h3/ Unfortunately, I am not a mechanic by any means, My dad was for 20 years and learned most from him, I'd ask him but he has severe Dementia and that doesn't help haha Good luck my friend. IF you find out and fix it, please let us all know.

[@motavationexperience7065]

Thanks again

[@jtprasadi515]

thanks for the video, it really saves me some money. but, don't you need to take the battery off first?

[@michaelgamble9650]

That is a good idea to do yes, I did not do that though and haven't had problems. But yes, smart! 😀

[@mahmoudeldirani7463]

@@michaelgamble9650 you should have done that prior to your work so the car will start fesh and recognize all parts once you put the batter on again. This might be the reason why it didnt work for you, try to remove and reinstall battery. Make it as a habit to remove the batter before doing anything to your Hummer

[@pelleranob2712]

What error code were you getting? In getting a P1400 on mine

[@bluesteel5841]

Thats a variable valve timing sensor or vvt. Dirty oil or extremely low oil can make it not work also.

[@aingemechanic]

What was the problem with them car in the first place ?

[@julianortiz699]

What was that knocking noise?

[@bilalhussain6917]

My Hummer h3 sometimes driving smooth but sometimes gear shifting delay driving heavy any one face some problem ?

[@milosmilojevic7721]

Hummer h3 2006. THE vide i got is p2763... I am willing to try to go with your advice so wish me luck!

[@michaelgamble9650]

Your code seems to be for a different issue my friend. You'll want to research the Torque Converter Solenoid. Faulty Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid It's a different part and this location is usually positioned between the rear of the engine and the front of the transmission.

[@milosmilojevic7721]

You were right...the guy who fixing my car told me the same... it was TCC solenoid,100$ from dealership. Thanks bro for the advice!

[@rodolfojosemedinamaradiaga2784]

amigos tengo un Hummer H3 año 2007 me esta dando una falla por las mañanas cuesta q se quede encendido el motor. lo raro el que si lo enciendo cuando el sol ha calentado la carroseria me prende al instante al primer estaraso les agradecería su comentario por dónde puede estar la falla

[@eddielorenzana2320]

Rodolfo José Medina Maradiaga revisa todos los relays. El mio es 2008 y hacia lo mismo, el mecanico me dijo que unos relays estaban malos.

[@rodolfojosemedinamaradiaga2784]

Eddie SanJacinto gracias amigo pero fijese que eso ya lo hice y si cambie algunos relay pero la falla sigue igual lo raro es que si el sol calienta la carroseria el me prende sin ningún problema

[@eddielorenzana2320]

Rodolfo José Medina Maradiaga mira la mia hacia lo mismo. Cuando estaba frio, llovia o en las mananas no arrancaba. Y yo le cambien un monton de cosas. Le cambiaron el pedal, el throttle body con sensor, la bateria, los post de la bateria las bujias la tapa del gas la del radiator y hacia lo mismo. Todo lo que te dicen en los videos de utube lo hice y nada. Asta que ese mecanico me dijo que le habia cambiado llunos relay pero no me dijo cual. Me tenia tan decepcionado que casi ni la manejo ya porque tengo otro carro. La verdad que revisa bien los relays y la resistencia de los relays. Si la arreglas me dices porfa.

[@rodolfojosemedinamaradiaga2784]

Eddie SanJacinto de hecho la falla se produjo después de que no se por donde se le metio el agua de lluvia adentro y me mojo una tarjeta pero la saque puse al sol y la falla sigue yo igual lo tuve votado porque igual me decepcionó semejante carro y tan delicado el sistema

[@juiceeeeee2554]

la mia es 2007 y asi pasa aveces en las mañana no prende y tambien ya le cambiaron varios sensores hoy voy a checar los relays

This is for the camshaft sensor bank 1 sensor B, U have 2 small sensors on the engine head behind the fan, those are cam shaft and crank shaft sensor. Your code refers to the one on the righ side just under the metal AC tube

I REQUEST YOUR HELP - Hummer H3 2006 - error code P0171 (poor mix) and excessive consumption Hello, I greet you from PARAGUAY and I request a KIDNEY help because I have been wanting to solve it for a long time and I am not finding the origin of the fault VEHICLE: Hummer H3 2006 / vortex engine 3.5 lts. / Naftera / automatic gearbox / 4x4 full time FAILURES: - Check with error code P0171 (poor mix) intermittently (appears and then the check light disappears) - Exaggerated fuel consumption (40 liters per 100 km). THE FUEL TRIM SHORT TERM EXCEEDS 30% (POSITIVE) OBSERVATIONS: Generally speaking the van works perfectly. It does not show obvious failures in operation. Only a small instability or variation in idle (but tiny) ACTIONS: - The air filter system was replaced as it had a competition system installed (open without a cover). The original was installed - Search for vacuum leaks (with a smoke machine). No leaks found - The oxygen sensor (sensor 1) was replaced by an original ACDELCO - The two catalysts were replaced (they had been emptied) - The spark plugs were replaced by the original ACDELCO (they had others) - Compression of the cylinders was measured (going from 180 to 195 psi) - According to the manual the maximum compression is 215 Psi - The fuel pressure of the system was measured and is 59 PSI (according to a colleague the pressure is OK as it should be between 50 to 57 PSI with a 10% plus / minus tolerance) - Disassemble and remove the fuel pump inside the tank to check. At first glance everything is fine. The pump, pressure regulator, filter and marker of fuel level ALL OK very clean - Replacement of the flowmeter (MAF) with a new original (GM) - On several occasions place Clean injectors in the fuel tank, however it does not show symptoms of dirty injectors. That to keep them clean - Unlock the hole in the Positive Carrier Ventilation System (PCV) as it is fully latched. This hole that according to the manual is 2.5 mm is part of the ventilation system, Apparently DOES NOT HAVE VALVE PCV. - On the valve IAC I can not say since I did not find it This van was referred to several colleagues and we could not find fault Any suggestion. From already thank you very much
