does any have the breakdown of where all the bolts are that i need to remove the entire dash, not just the radio bezel and the top portion, the WHOLE thing.
i think the steering wheel has to come off too man but thats all i know, lol
that, the airbags, the plastic steering wheel cover, (that you wont get off unless you remove the tilt thing, then theres alos a couple of bolts you can see through the glove box, and at the edge, then you gott remove your turn signals, and windshield washer controls...........
everything is pretty self explanatory.... no real big trick to it, just a PITA... thats it
wait for it... wait for it... NOW GO!! ---> '02 LS Sport <---

Do you have to remove the steering wheel?
^^im pretty sure you do. that isnt hard though. prolly the least of your worries in this project
just like a lot of things its always good to ask i just found a obd2 computer reader for when the engine light comes on it tells ya what sensor is bad and more (saves ya money) gm dealer wants $70 to tell you the same thing...... Anyways the best way to take apart the dash is read up on it use a car book made just for you cav, i have a (Haynes repair manual 1995 thru 2000) $20 @ most auto parts stores ( in canada..canadian tire etc ..usa walmart, target, pep boys etc,) its a bible to me it will show you how it take the dash off right to the fire wall and yes there's pics and the tools you will need buy baggies for the nuts and bolts trust me!!!!! good luck!!

Buzz122 is asking about your OBD II reader.
Yes it will tell you the code and comes with a little booklet that describes what the code means.
Looks like this:
Description:
Quote:
The Inova 3100 code reader makes it easy to quickly retrieve stored diagnostic information from your vehicle�s computer memory.
* Easy to use and view with no complex, multiple screens; everything is displayed on a single large screen

* Monitor icons indicate which monitors are supported by the vehicle being tested and if the related monitor has its diagnostic tests
* Check engine light icon verifies which code, if any, commanded this light to go on

Yes sorry i forgot the scanner comes with the how too's and all the code numbers and there meaning I.E. mine was (P0507) on the scanner. I looked it up in the booklet that comes with the scanner and the book told me : P0507>Idle control system RPM Higher than Expected. i then went the my hanyes manual to read up on where that would be a problem it showed the I.AC. valve and told to try and remove it and inspect it as well as clean it out (carbon ) and put it back or replace it since i just sprayed carb cleaner in the trottle body last week and the IAC is just behind it i know where all the crap (carbon) went into the IAC and jamed the pindel open letting to much air into the injectors anywaysssssssssssss sorry back to the topic i'm currently removing my dash aswell to repaint it theres a whole way of doing to in the right order don't do it fast and start losing it and end up breaking off screws and plastic holders etc. even try going to a gm dealer at the parts counter and bring a coffee for the guy and ask him to copy of some pics of the removel of the dash they have them there trust me..
