Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Tracker owners report experiencing shutdowns while driving, which may be linked to several underlying issues. One common problem involves the camshaft position sensor, which can cause the vehicle to shut down when it overheats, only to function again once it cools off. Additionally, issues with the coolant sensor and its wiring, along with potential heat-related corrosion in the thermotime switch, may contribute to these shutdowns. Owners may also encounter diagnostic trouble codes P1410 and P400, indicating possible malfunctions in the secondary air injection system and the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system, respectively, which require further diagnosis. Furthermore, some owners have reported that ECU failures due to faulty solder joints exposed to heat could also be a factor. It is recommended that affected owners consult a mechanic or automotive technician to accurately diagnose and resolve these issues.
