Find the wires and cut out the sensors, wire them together.  Its just DC circuits.

No you do it.  I'll pay you.  😊

Bring the beer and the wire schematic.

Everytime I think about a new rig, I think about the miles of wire they have added since the one I currently have. Sensors to go out for everything. Electronics are the problems with all new cars. If we could go back and make one without all of the wires, imagine how long they would last.

Back in the 80’s I worked in the trim department at GM.  We made olds 88 and 98 and Buick park avenues.  I wired the front passenger side door.  The wire harness back them probably weighed 25 pounds if it had a bose stereo.

Look at the boat motors now days.  Another mess of wire and electronics.

My old Evinrude 9.5  has copper wire that could be measured in inches in 2 digits.  And it still runs after 60 years.  I did have to replace the kill switch, the rubber gave out.

I forgot to mention this.  Try the Tahoe Yukon forum.  Lots of dealer techs chime in there.

My wife her Jeep Check Engine light came on. They said the $250 Sensor had went out. She took it to the Dealer they said no it needs $75 Computer upgrade.

Like she said a New Vehicle shouldn’t need a Sensor but I’m thinking the Computer shouldn’t need an upgrade either.

My Ram truck does the updates automatically.  Kind if cool actually.  It even changes the warning dings like the seat belt reminder to the new sound.
