Repair And Fix it

The Geo Metro is a compact car, manufactured by Chevrolet. Its diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 0705 can be identified by placing a fuse in the fuse box diagnostic terminal, located under the left-hand side of the instrument panel, and turning on the ignition.

Significance

Chevy Metro diagnostic trouble code 0705 represents a transmission range sensor circuit malfunction.

Check Engine Light

When the ignition is turned on, the check engine light will turn off if the code 0705 either does not exist or if it has been cleared. If the light stays lit, the code represents a problem. Data concerning the code is stored in the electronic control module (ECM).

Clearing the Code

Clear or erase the code 0705 in a Geo Metro by disconnecting the negative battery cable and isolating the battery ground cable for 60 seconds.

Suzuki markets the Suzuki Cultus under a variety of names, including the Chevrolet Metro, Geo Metro and Suzuki Swift. The engine for the 1998 Chevy Metro is a four-cylinder 1.3-liter engine with multiport fuel injection. This type of fuel injection requires the fuel pump to deliver fuel under high pressure. The fuel pump for the 1998 Chevy Metro is in the fuel tank, so you must remove the fuel tank when you replace the fuel pump.

Instructions

1

Open the cap for the fuel tank, and remove the control relay in the fuse box. Start the engine, and allow it to stall. Crank the engine for a few seconds to ensure no fuel remains in the fuel system. Disconnect the cable on the negative terminal of the battery with a socket wrench to ensure you dont accidentally start the engine.

2

Remove the rear seat cushion, and disconnect the electrical wiring for the fuel gauge in the bottom of the rear seat. Raise and support the vehicle on jack stands. Disconnect the fuel line from the fuel filter, and connect the open end of the fuel line to a hose. Siphon the fuel from the fuel tank into a gasoline container.

3

Disconnect the hoses for the fuel pipes on the fuel tank. Detach the fuel filler hose and breather hose from the fuel tank. Support the fuel tank with jack stands, and disconnect the mounting bolts for the fuel tank with a socket wrench. Lower the fuel tank from the vehicle.

4

Release the clamps for the fuel hoses to the fuel pump assembly. Remove the mounting screws for the fuel pump assembly with a socket wrench, and detach the electrical connector for the fuel pump. Lift the fuel pump assembly and gasket from the fuel tank.

5

Install the new fuel pump by reversing steps 1 through 4. Fill the fuel tank, and turn on the ignition to pressurize the fuel system. Start the engine, and check for fuel leaks.

The Chevrolet Metro was manufactured from 1998 to 2001. The car is equipped with two oxygen sensors, which are upstream and downstream of the catalytic converter. A failed oxygen sensor increases the amount of fuel burned by the cars engine, decreasing your gas mileage and costing you substantially more at the pump. Save the needless expense by replacing the sensors as soon as you discover the problem.

Instructions

1

Start the engine of the Metro. Let the car idle until the engine reaches operating temperature. When the temperature gauge reaches the point where it commonly runs, turn the engine off.

2

Raise the car with a jack. Position jack stands under the car. Remove the jack when the car is supported on the stands. Locate the sensors on either side of the catalytic converter.

3

Disconnect the electrical connection by pulling it apart. Remove the sensor with a wrench. Install the new oxygen sensor by hand. Tighten it with a wrench. Push the wiring harness connection back together until it clicks.

4

Repeat the process on the second sensor if needed. Raise the car slightly to remove the jack stands. Lower it to the ground.
