Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

Date: July 21, 2008
Subject: Low Voltage Display on IP Gauge, Lights Dim at Stop Lights, Battery Discharged, No
Start, Slow Cranking, Dim Lights at Idle, Low Generator Output
Models: 1990-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009
HUMMER H2, H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 02-06-03-008C (Section 06 - Engine).
Any vehicle may have a low voltage display (if equipped with gauges), lights that dim at stop lights,
slow cranking, no start, low generator output at idle or dim lights at idle when electrical loads are
heavy at idle or under slow driving or infrequent usage conditions. These characteristics may be
more noticeable with customer added electrical accessories, or with a discharged battery. These
are normal operating characteristics of a vehicle electrical system and no repairs should be
attempted unless a proven fault has been diagnosed.
During normal driving conditions, when engine speed is above 1000 RPM, the generator is
designed to do two things:
^ Supply the current necessary to operate the vehicle's originally equipped electrical devices
(loads).
^ Recharge/maintain the battery's state of charge.
The following factors may affect generator and battery performance:
^ Non-usage of the vehicle for extended periods of time. The vehicle's computers, clocks and the
like will cause the battery state of charge to drop (For example; 30 days in a parking lot and the
vehicle may not start because of a dead battery or a vehicle which is driven only a short distance
once a week may end up with a discharged battery to the point where the vehicle may not start).
This would be considered abnormal usage of the vehicle and the normally expected result for the
vehicle battery, generator and electrical systems.
^ At idle, vehicle electrical loads may exceed the low speed current (amperage) output of the
generator and when this happens the shortfall comes from the battery. This will result in a drop in
the electrical system voltage as the battery delivers the additional electrical current to meet the
demand. This is equivalent to the brown outs experienced by homes and businesses when the
electrical demand is more than the supply. See Figure 1.
^ Extended periods of engine idling, with high electrical loads, may result in a discharged battery.
Attempting to recharge a battery by letting the engine run at idle may not be beneficial unless all
electrical loads are turned "OFF".

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

Note The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other.
Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the
shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
‹› If the CPA retainer is loose, damaged, or will not seat in the connector, replace it with a new one.
Reinstall the CPA correctly by first pushing
the connector body in completely, and then pushing the CPA retainer in completely.
‹› If the CPA retainer is not loose or damaged and is properly seated, proceed to Step 6.
6. Remove the CPA retainer and disconnect the electrical connector. Inspect the terminals for the
following conditions:
- Corrosion
- Contamination
- Terminal tension
- Damage
Important The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating
provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. Use the J-38125
SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit for repairing SIR/SRS terminals and connectors. DO NOT substitute
any other terminals for those in the repair kit.
‹› If the terminals are damaged, corrosion is observed, or have poor tension, repair or replace as
necessary. Apply dielectric grease, GM P/N
12345579 (in Canada, use P/N 10953481) on the connector pins and terminals when
reassembling. Refer to SIR/SRS Wiring Repairs in SI.
Note The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other.
Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the
shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
7. Connect the electrical connector, and install the CPA retainer. 8. Enable the supplemental
inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI. 9. Clear the DTC with a
scan tool.
10. Verify that the DTC does not reset by performing the Diagnostic Repair Verification in SI.
‹› If any DTC resets, then refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in SI.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

Date: January 05, 2011
Subject: Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement Guidelines
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 01-08-42-001G (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The following information is being provided to better define the causes of condensation in exterior
lamps and includes guidelines for determining the difference between a lamp with a normal
atmospheric condition (condensation) and a lamp with a water leak.
Some exterior lamps, such as cornering, turn signal, backup, headlamps or tail lamps may exhibit
very small droplets of water, a fine mist or white fog (condensation) on the inside of the lamp lens.
This may be more noticeable on lamps with "multi-lens" designs and may be normal during certain
weather conditions.
Condensation occurs when the air inside the lamp assembly, through atmospheric changes,
reaches the "dew point". When this takes place, the moisture in the air within the lamp assembly
condenses, creating a fine mist or white fog on the inside surface of the lamp lens.
Most exterior lamps on General Motors vehicles use a vented design and feature a replaceable
bulb assembly. They are designed to remove any accumulated moisture vapor by expelling it
through a vent system. The vent system operates at all times, however, it is most effective when
the lamps are ON or when the vehicle is in motion. Depending on the size, shape and location of
the lamp on the vehicle, and the atmospheric conditions occurring, the amount of time required to
clear the lamp may vary from 2 to 6 hours.
Completely sealed headlamp assemblies (sealed beams) are still used on a limited number of
models being manufactured today. These lamps require the replacement of the complete lamp
assembly if a bulb filament burns out.
Condensation 2006 TrailBlazer Shown
A Fine Mist or White Fog on the Inside Surface of the Lamp Lens Occurring After a Period of High
Humidity
- May be located primarily in the lens corners (near the vents) and SHOULD NOT cover more than
half the lens surface.
- The condition should clear of moisture when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment, or when
the vehicle is driven with the lights ON.
- A comparison of the equivalent lamp on the opposing side of the vehicle indicates a SIMILAR
performance.
If the above conditions are noted, the customer should be advised that replacement of a lamp
assembly may not correct this condition.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

Distortion in the outer surface of the windshield glass, door glass or backlite glass may appear after
the vehicle has:
- Accumulated some mileage.
- Been frequently washed in automatic car washes, particularly "touchless" car washes.
This distortion may look like a subtle orange peel pattern, or may look like a drip or sag etched into
the surface of the glass.
Some car wash solutions contain a buffered solution of hydrofluoric acid which is used to clean the
glass. This should not cause a problem if used in the correct concentration. However, if not used
correctly, hydrofluoric acid will attack the glass, and over time, will cause visual distortion in the
outer surface of the glass which cannot be removed by scraping or polishing.
If this condition is suspected, look at the area of the windshield under the wipers or below the belt
seal on the side glass. The area of the glass below the wipers or belt seal will not be affected and
what looks like a drip or sag may be apparent at the edge of the wiper or belt seal. You may also
see a line on the glass where the wiper blade or the belt seal contacts the glass.
Important The repair will require replacing the affected glass and is not a result of a defect in
material or workmanship. Therefore, is not covered by New Vehicle Warranty.

Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
Page 8995
Backprobe
Note
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.

Fuel Pressure Relief (Without CH-48027) Warning: Refer to Gasoline/Gasoline Vapors Warning
(See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel/Service Precautions) .
Warning
Remove the fuel tank cap and relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing the fuel system in
order to reduce the risk of personal injury. After you relieve the fuel system pressure, a small
amount of fuel may be released when servicing the fuel lines, the fuel injection pump, or the
connections. In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, cover the fuel system components with a
shop towel before disconnection. This will catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the towel in an
approved container when the disconnection is complete.
1. If the fuel system requires repair, prevent fuel spillage by removing the fuel pump fuse. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views (See:
Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) .
2. Loosen the fuel fill cap in order to relieve the fuel tank vapor pressure. 3. Remove the engine
cover, if required. 4. Remove the fuel rail service port cap. 5. Wrap a shop towel around the fuel rail
service port and using a small flat-bladed tool, depress (open) the fuel rail test port valve. 6.

Important Other forms of slow air leaks are possible. If the body of the tire, valve stem and wheel
flange show no signs of air seepage, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-003D for
additional information on possible wheel porosity issues.
3. Bead seat corrosion is identified by what appears like blistering of the wheel finish, causing a
rough or uneven surface that is difficult for the tire to
maintain a proper seal on. Below is a close-up photo of bead seat corrosion on an aluminum wheel
that was sufficient to cause slow air loss. Close-Up of Bead Seat Corrosion
4. If corrosion is found on the wheel bead seat, measure the affected area as shown below.
- For vehicles with 32,186 km (20,000 mi) or less, the total allowable combined linear area of
repairable corrosion is 100 mm (4 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
- For vehicles that have exceeded 32,186 km (20,000 mi), the total allowable combined linear area
of repairable corrosion is 200 mm (8 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
5. In order to correct the wheel leak, use a clean-up (fine cut) sanding disc or biscuit to remove the
corrosion and any flaking paint. You should
remove the corrosion back far enough until you reach material that is stable and firmly bonded to
the wheel. Try to taper the edge of any flaking paint as best you can in order to avoid sharp edges
that may increase the chance of a leak reoccurring. The photo below shows an acceptable repaired
surface.
Notice Corrosion that extends up the lip of the wheel, where after the clean-up process it would be
visible with the tire mounted, is only acceptable on the inboard flange. The inboard flange is not
visible with the wheel assembly in the mounted position. If any loose coatings or corrosion extend
to the visible surfaces on the FACE of the wheel, that wheel must be replaced.
Important Remove ONLY the material required to eliminate the corrosion from the bead seating
surface. DO NOT remove excessive amounts of material. ALWAYS keep the sealing surface as
smooth and level as possible.

Subject: Diagnostic Tips for Automatic Transmission DTC P0756, Second, Third, Fourth Gear Start
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2,
H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year and add details regarding spacer plates.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-036G (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Some dealership technicians may have difficulty diagnosing DTC P0756, 2-3 Shift Valve
Performance on 4L60-E, 4L65-E or 4L70E automatic transmissions. As detailed in the Service
Manual, when the PCM detects a 4-3-3-4 shift pattern, DTC P0756 will set. Some customers may
also describe a condition of a second, third or fourth gear start that may have the same causes but
has not set this DTC yet. Below are some tips when diagnosing this DTC:
^ This is a performance code. This means that a mechanical malfunction exists.
^ This code is not set by electrical issues such as a damaged wiring harness or poor electrical
connections. Electrical problems would cause a DTC P0758, P0787 or P0788 to set.
^ The most likely cause is chips/debris plugging the filtered AFL oil at orifice # 29 on the top of the
spacer plate (48). This is a very small hole and is easily plugged by a small amount of debris. It is
important to remove the spacer plate and inspect orifice # 29 and the immediate area for the
presence of chips/debris. Also, the transmission case passage directly above this orifice and the
valve body passage directly below should be inspected and cleaned of any chips/debris. For 2003
and newer vehicles the spacer plate should be replaced. The service replacement spacer plate is a
bonded style with gaskets and solenoid filter screens bonded to the spacer plate. These screens
can help to prevent plugging of orifice # 29 caused by small debris or chips.
^ This code could be set if the 2-3 shift valve (368) were stuck or hung-up in its bore. Inspect the
2-3 shift valve (368) and the 2-3 shuttle valve (369) for free movement or damage and clean the
valves, the bore and the valve body passages.
^ This code could be set by a 2-3 shift solenoid (367b) if it were cracked, broken or leaking. Refer
to Shift Solenoid Leak Test in the appropriate Service Manual for the leak test procedure. Based on
parts return findings, a damaged or leaking shift solenoid is the least likely cause of this condition.
Simply replacing a shift solenoid will not correct this condition unless the solenoid has been found
to be cracked, broken or leaking.
It is important to also refer to the appropriate Service Manual or Service Information (SI) for further
possible causes of this condition.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

vehicle's occupant(s) input or knowledge. Customer initiated Blue Button call, Emergency calls,
and Automatic Crash Notification calls will also fail to establish a data connection with the
OnStar(R) Call Center. Eventually, the customer's call will connect as a voice only line and the
customer will be able to talk with an OnStar(R) advisor; however, the advisor will not get crucial
customer data such as vehicle identification and location.
Correction
Dealers/retailers are to replace the OnStar(R) module (VCIM).
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R), and built within

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Rear Axle Lubricant Level Inspection (8.6, 9.5 LD Axle)
Note
All axle assemblies are filled by volume of fluid during production. They are not filled to reach a
certain level. When checking the fluid level on any axle, variations in the readings can be caused
by factory fill differences between the minimum and the maximum fluid volume. Also, if a vehicle
has just been driven before checking the fluid level, it may appear lower than normal because the
fluid has traveled out along the axle tubes and has not drained back to the sump area. Therefore, a
reading taken five minutes after the vehicle has been driven will appear to have a lower fluid level
than a vehicle that has been stationary for an hour or two. Remember that the rear axle assembly
must be supported to get a true reading.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See: Vehicle

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

Special Tools
J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor
Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain
2006-2009 model year Buick Lucerne; Cadillac DTS; HUMMER H2; 2008-2009 model year Buick
Enclave; Cadillac CTS; 2007-2009 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT;
Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe; GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL; Saturn
OUTLOOK; and 2009 model year Chevrolet Traverse vehicles equipped with a heated washer fluid
system (HWFS). As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize for this inconvenience.
However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.
Important
- Your vehicle is involved in safety recall 10153.
- Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer/retailer.
- This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
A recall was implemented on some vehicles in 2008 to add a fuse to the HWFS control circuit
harness to address the potential consequences of a printed circuit board electrical short. However,
there have been new reports of thermal incidents on HWFS modules after this improvement was
installed. These incidents resulted from a new failure mode attributed to the device's thermal
protection feature. Their significance varies from minor distortion to considerable melting of the
plastic around the HWFS fluid chamber. In some circumstances, it is possible for the heated
washer module to cause a fire.
What will we do?
Your GM dealer/retailer will permanently disable and remove the heated washer fluid system. In
addition, because the heated washer feature will be disabled, the dealer will provide a customer
satisfaction payment of $100 to the customer. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer/retailer will need your
vehicle longer than the actual service correction time of approximately 20 minutes.
An updated page for your Owner Manual will be provided and inserted at the time of service to
document that the feature has been permanently disabled and removed from your vehicle.
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer/retailer may provide you with
shuttle service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the
dealership/facility for this repair. Please refer to your Owner Manual and your dealer/retailer for
details on courtesy transportation.
What should you do?
You should contact your GM dealer/retailer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.
Did you already pay for this repair?
The enclosed form explains what reimbursement is available and how to request reimbursement if
you have paid for repairs for the recall condition. Even though you may have already had this
condition repaired in the past, you will still need to take your vehicle to your dealer/retailer for this
recall.

Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by
spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature
contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil
control circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). The ODM
output control is configured to operate as a low side driver for the powertrain relay. The ODM for
the powertrain relay also incorporates a fault detection circuit, which is continuously monitored by
the ECM. When the ECM commands the powertrain relay ON, ignition 1 voltage is supplied to the
ECM, and to several additional circuits.
Diagnostic Aids
This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely
charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See: Starting and Charging/Testing and

Attention:
This bulletin contains a procedure to clean/lubricate the rear propshaft slip yoke splines and
replace, if necessary. Check the history on this vehicle. If the lubrication procedure has been
performed previously, then continue on and replace the transfer case rear output shaft.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the warranty statement. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 09-04-21-003C (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a bump feel or clunk noise at a stop or on launch. Customers
may also comment that the bump feel or clunk is noticed after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop and that it feels as if the vehicle was bumped from behind.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the rear propshaft slip yoke and the
transfer case rear output shaft splines. Braking to a complete stop can force the propshaft slip yoke
forward into the transfer case while the vehicle rebounds slightly backward after stopping its
momentum.
Correction
Note
Do not use grease for lubrication of the slip yoke splines on 4WD vehicles. The output shaft in a
4WD transfer case does not have a grease retainer to keep the grease from migrating into the
transfer case and mixing with the fluid inside. Grease is not compatible with the automatic
transmission fluid (ATF) used in the transfer case and can cause damage if mixed.
Note
The clunk noise may also be due to fuel movement in the fuel tank when not completely full. If the
condition is eliminated after filling the fuel tank, the noise is isolated to the fuel movement in the
tank. Please make no repair attempts, as this noise is considered an operating characteristic.
Verify the customer's concern.
Clean/Lubricate Rear PropShaft Slip Yoke Splines
1. Remove the rear drive shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect
the rear propshaft slip yoke splines.
Note Protect the transfer case rear seal from Brake Clean.
3. Clean the rear propshaft slip yoke splines with Brake Clean or equivalent and a shop towel. 4.
Assure that the splines are free of rust or other foreign material. 5. Lubricate the spline with
Automatic Transmission Fluid, P/N 88861003 (in Canada, 19264717). 6. Reinstall the rear drive
shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 7. Road test the vehicle and verify
that the noise is gone. 8. If the vehicle has a repeat concern after lubricating the slip yoke splines,
replace the rear output shaft.

Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).
Caution
Exceeding the recommended screw torque of 6 Nm (53 lb in) could result in the thread insert
pulling out of the handle base, as shown in the graphic above.
Replace the affected chrome outside door handle. Refer to Front Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement, Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement, or Rear Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement (Crew Cab) in SI.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Tires - Minimizing Damage to TPM Sensors
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-10-007
Date: May 16, 2008
Subject: Minimizing Damage to Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Sensors During Tire
Mounting/Dismounting
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with Wheel Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors
Minimizing Damage To TPM Sensors
All GM vehicles now in production and sold in the U.S., as well as many vehicles sold in Canada,
feature Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems that have valve stem mounted Tire Pressure Sensors.
When dismounting and mounting tires, care must be taken when breaking the bead loose from the
wheel. If the tire machines bead breaking fixture is positioned too close to the tire pressure sensor,
as the tire bead breaks away from the wheel it may be forced into, or catch on the edge of the tire
pressure sensor. This can damage the sensor and require the sensor to be replaced.
Care must also be taken when transferring the tire bead to the other side of the wheel rim. As the
tire machine rotates and the tire bead is stretched around the wheel rim, the bead can come in
contact with the sensor if it is not correctly positioned in relation to the mounting/dismounting head
prior to tire mounting/dismounting. This can also cause sensor damage requiring replacement.
Procedure
Notice:
Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone in
order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could result.
Notice:
Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment.
Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to
peel from the wheel.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem.
2. Deflate the tire completely.
Important:
Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and 270
degrees from the valve stem.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Electrical Ground Repair Overview
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground
connections. Loose, stripped, or corroded connections increase the possibility of improper system
function and loss of module communication. These conditions may also lead to unnecessary
repairs and component replacement.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of the
following attachment methods:
- Welded M6 stud and nut
- Welded M6 nut and bolt
- Welded M8 nut and bolt
Determine which attachment method is used and perform the appropriate or alternative repair as
described in this bulletin.
M6 Weld Stud Replacement
Caution
Use only the GM-approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
1. Select a location adjacent the damaged or missing M6 ground stud having 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance behind the panel surface and 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance surrounding the M6 conductive rivet stud flange.
2. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, remove any grease from the repair site

Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety
Information/Brake Dust Warning) .
Note
* Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout
(LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation.
Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Thickness Variation
Measurement) .
* Brake rotor assembled LRO exceeding the maximum allowable specification can cause thickness
variation to develop in the brake rotor over time, usually between 4 800-11 300 km (3,000-7,000
mi). Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Measurement) .

7. If at any time the brake rotor exceeds the minimum allowable thickness after refinish
specification, the brake rotor must be replaced. After
replacing the rotor, proceed to step 10.
8. After refinishing the brake rotor, use the following procedure in order to obtain the desired
non-directional finish:
1. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional
finish. 2. Using moderate pressure, apply the non-directional finish:
* If the lathe is equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with 120-grit aluminum
oxide sandpaper.
* If the lathe is not equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with a sanding
block and 150-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper.
3. After applying a non-directional finish, clean each friction surface of the brake rotor with
denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved brake
cleaner.
9. Remove the lathe from the vehicle.
10. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Measurement) .
11. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement still exceeds the maximum allowable
specification, refer toBrake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout
Correction (See: Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction) .
12. If the brake rotor assembled LRO is within specification, install the brake caliper and depress
the brake pedal several times to secure the rotor in

Installation Procedure
Page 19631
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

Caution
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check-Vehicle. 2. Identify the DTC that is set AND review the
DTC Descriptor in the corresponding diagnostic procedure. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC)
List-Vehicle in SI.
3. Using the information from the DTC Descriptor, determine the location of the affected electrical
connector. Refer to SIR Identification Views and
the Master Electrical Component List in SI.
4. Turn OFF the ignition and disable the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to
SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI. 5. BEFORE removing, INSPECT the CPA retainer at the
electrical connector.
Note The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other.
Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the
shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
‹› If the CPA retainer is loose, damaged, or will not seat in the connector, replace it with a new one.
Reinstall the CPA correctly by first pushing
the connector body in completely, and then pushing the CPA retainer in completely.
‹› If the CPA retainer is not loose or damaged and is properly seated, proceed to Step 6.
6. Remove the CPA retainer and disconnect the electrical connector. Inspect the terminals for the
following conditions:
- Corrosion
- Contamination
- Terminal tension
- Damage
Important The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating
provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. Use the J-38125
SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit for repairing SIR/SRS terminals and connectors. DO NOT substitute
any other terminals for those in the repair kit.
‹› If the terminals are damaged, corrosion is observed, or have poor tension, repair or replace as
necessary. Apply dielectric grease, GM P/N
12345579 (in Canada, use P/N 10953481) on the connector pins and terminals when
reassembling. Refer to SIR/SRS Wiring Repairs in SI.
Note The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other.
Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the
shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
7. Connect the electrical connector, and install the CPA retainer. 8. Enable the supplemental
inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI. 9. Clear the DTC with a
scan tool.
10. Verify that the DTC does not reset by performing the Diagnostic Repair Verification in SI.
‹› If any DTC resets, then refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in SI.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution
Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution
Caution: Do not remove the pigtail from either the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) or the oxygen
sensor (O2S). Removing the pigtail or the connector will affect sensor operation.
Handle the oxygen sensor carefully. Do not drop the HO2S. Keep the in-line electrical connector
and the louvered end free of grease, dirt, or other contaminants. Do not use cleaning solvents of
any type.
Do not repair the wiring, connector or terminals. Replace the oxygen sensor if the pigtail wiring,
connector, or terminal is damaged.
This external clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires.
Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors, or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air
reference and degraded sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor causing poor performance.
* Do not damage the sensor pigtail and harness wires in such a way that the wires inside are
exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause
performance problems.
* Ensure the sensor or vehicle lead wires are not bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends or kinks
could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire, where applicable. Vehicles that utilize
the ground wired sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor.
Removal of the ground wire will cause poor engine performance.
* Ensure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector in order to
prevent damage due to water intrusion. The engine harness may be repaired using Packard's
Crimp and Splice Seals Terminal Repair Kit. Under no circumstances should repairs be soldered
since this could result in the air reference being obstructed.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already

Subject: Audio Whine Noise from Radio Speakers When Using OnStar(R) (Install Noise
Suppression Filter)
Models:
2007-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2007-2010 HUMMER H2, H3
2007-2009 Saab 9-7X Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-46-002C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on an audio whine coming from the radio speakers when using the
OnStar(R) system. The amplitude and frequency of the whine will change with an increase or
decrease in engine speed.
Cause
This condition may be caused by electrical noise on the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication
Interface Module (VCIM) battery feed wire being passed to the microphone output pins at the radio.
Correction
Technicians are to install a noise suppression filter, P/N 1224205, into the OnStar(R) battery
voltage circuit, a few centimeters (inches) from the VCIM. The filter package has three attached
wires - a single yellow wire at one end with a yellow wire and a black wire at the other. Install the
single yellow wire side into the battery voltage circuit towards the VCIM. Install the remaining single
yellow wire into the battery voltage circuit toward the fuse and the black wire to ground.
Important The noise suppression filter is polarity sensitive. The filter is designed to be most
effective when the end with the capacitor ground is connected towards the source of the electrical
noise. Install the filter in this polarity first. If the noise level is still not satisfactory, try disconnecting
the capacitor ground. In some cases, if the first installation does not correct the noise, try reversing
the filter polarity (removing the filter, turning it end for end and then reinstalling it) and grounding
the capacitor lead.

Note
Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it.
5. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing
down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA
out of the connector.
Note
Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-21 tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool
may break.
6. Insert the J 38125-21 tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the
connector. See the release tool cross reference in
the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
7. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Tires - Minimizing Damage to TPM Sensors
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-10-007
Date: May 16, 2008
Subject: Minimizing Damage to Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Sensors During Tire
Mounting/Dismounting
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with Wheel Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors
Minimizing Damage To TPM Sensors
All GM vehicles now in production and sold in the U.S., as well as many vehicles sold in Canada,
feature Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems that have valve stem mounted Tire Pressure Sensors.
When dismounting and mounting tires, care must be taken when breaking the bead loose from the
wheel. If the tire machines bead breaking fixture is positioned too close to the tire pressure sensor,
as the tire bead breaks away from the wheel it may be forced into, or catch on the edge of the tire
pressure sensor. This can damage the sensor and require the sensor to be replaced.
Care must also be taken when transferring the tire bead to the other side of the wheel rim. As the
tire machine rotates and the tire bead is stretched around the wheel rim, the bead can come in
contact with the sensor if it is not correctly positioned in relation to the mounting/dismounting head
prior to tire mounting/dismounting. This can also cause sensor damage requiring replacement.
Procedure
Notice:
Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone in
order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could result.
Notice:
Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment.
Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to
peel from the wheel.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem.
2. Deflate the tire completely.
Important:
Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and 270
degrees from the valve stem.

Important Use ONLY a clean nylon brush that is DEDICATED to the repair of this specific
condition.
With a one-inch nylon bristle brush, apply dielectric lubricant P/N 12377900 (in Canada, 10953529
to both the module/component side and the harness side of the affected connector(s).
3. Reconnect the affected connector(s) and wipe away any excess lubricant that may be present.
4. Clear any DTCs that may be present with a scan tool and verify the proper operation of the
vehicle.

* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3). Refer to Ignition
System Specifications (See: Powertrain Management/Ignition System/Specifications) . An
excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Powertrain
Management/Ignition System/Specifications) . Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug
operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug.
* A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
* A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
Visual Inspection
* Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal
combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
* Carbon fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
* Leaking fuel injectors
* Excessive fuel pressure
* Restricted air filter element
* Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
* Weak ignition coils
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit fouling-Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark plug intensity. Most powdery deposits will not affect spark plug intensity
unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle

- Support the GM Oil Life System, thereby minimizing the replacement of engine oil, before its life
has been depleted.
- Reduce the duplication of requirements for a large number of internal GM engine oil
specifications.
International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
GF-5 Standard
In addition to GM dexos 1(TM), a new International Lubricants Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) standard called GF-5, was introduced in October 2010.
- There will be a corresponding API category, called: SN Resource Conserving. The current GF-4
standard was put in place in 2004 and will become obsolete in October 2011. Similar to dexos
1(TM), the GF-5 standard will use a new fuel economy test, Sequence VID, which demands a
statistically significant increase in fuel economy versus the Sequence VIB test that was used for
GF-4.
- It is expected that all dexos 1(TM) approved oils will be capable of meeting the GF-5 standard.
However, not all GF-5 engine oils will be capable of meeting the dexos 1(TM) specification.
- Like dexos(TM), the new ILSAC GF-5 standard will call for more sophisticated additives. The API
will begin licensing marketers during October 2010, to produce and distribute GF-5 certified
products, which are expected to include SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 oils.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Requirements Effect on Fuel Economy
Since CAFE standards were first introduced in 1974, the fuel economy of cars has more than
doubled, while the fuel economy of light trucks has increased by more than 50 percent. Proposed
CAFE standards call for a continuation of increased fuel economy in new cars and trucks. To meet
these future requirements, all aspects of vehicle operation are being looked at more critically than
ever before.
New technology being introduced in GM vehicles designed to increase vehicle efficiency and fuel
economy include direct injection, cam phasing, turbocharging and active fuel management (AFM).
The demands of these new technologies on engine oil also are taken into consideration when
determining new oil specifications. AFM for example can help to achieve improved fuel economy.
However alternately deactivating and activating the cylinders by not allowing the intake and
exhaust valves to open contributes to additional stress on the engine oil.
Another industry trend for meeting tough fuel economy mandates has been a shift toward lower
viscosity oils.
dexos 1(TM) will eventually be offered in several viscosity grades in accordance with engine needs:
SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30 and 5W-30.
Using the right viscosity grade oil is critical for proper engine performance. Always refer to the
Maintenance section of a vehicle Owner Manual for the proper viscosity grade for the engine being
serviced.
GM Oil Life System in Conjunction With dexos (TM) Supports Extended Oil Change Intervals
To help conserve oil while maintaining engine protection, many GM vehicles are equipped with the
GM Oil Life System. This system can provide oil change intervals that exceed the traditional 3,000
mile (4,830 km) recommendation.
The dexos (TM) specification, with its requirements for improved oil robustness, compliments the
GM Oil Life System by supporting extended oil change intervals over the lifetime of a vehicle.
If all GM customers with GM Oil Life System equipped vehicles would use the system as intended,
GM estimates that more than 100 million gallons of oil could be saved annually.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

8. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.
Page 19477
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.
The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without
damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some
circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.

5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

8. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

Note
Vehicles built prior to December 2008 are more likely to have leaking fluid seal rings. Starting in
November 2008, a new 2-piece seal was implemented. When the transmission pump is removed
and a 2-piece seal (1) is found, do not continue on with this bulletin. The guidelines of this bulletin
will not apply to a 2-piece seal.
Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
- Flare or harsh 2-3 shift
- Bump/delay in 2-3 shift
- Delayed/extended or delayed with harsh feel initial Park to Drive and/or Reverse to Drive shifts
Cause
This condition may be caused by leaking 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch fluid seal rings. The following
conditions are indications that the fluid seal rings may be leaking.
- Delayed/extended or delayed with harsh feel initial Park to Drive and/or Reverse to Drive shifts
that are more likely to occur when the transmission temperature is below approximately 40°C
(104°F).
- Harsh or flaring 2-3 shifts that are more likely to occur when the transmission fluid temperature is
in the approximately 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104° F) temperature range, but can be present at any
temperature.
- Harsh 2-3 shifts that are more likely to occur at less than 50% throttle pressure.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the transmission control valve body, transmission control module
(TCM) or transmission fluid pump cover assembly.
1. Verify the customer's concern with the described conditions above. Then replace the 1-2-3-4 and
3-5-R clutch fluid seal rings. 2. Remove the transmission assembly from the vehicle. Refer to
Transmission Replacement in SI. 3. Remove the transmission oil pan. Refer to Automatic
Transmission Fluid, Fluid Pan and/or Filter Replacement in SI.
Notice When removing the transmission control valve body, discard the O-ring seals and install
new seals, GM P/N 24236927. Failure to install control valve body O-ring seals may cause internal
transmission leaks and transmission damage.
4. Remove the transmission control valve body. Refer to Control Valve Body Assembly/Removal in
SI. 5. Remove the transmission bell housing / fluid pump. Refer to Torque Converter Housing with
Fluid Pump Removal in SI.
Notice The three clutch fluid seal rings are required to be installed in a specific way. Failure to
install new clutch fluid seal rings may cause internal transmission leaks and transmission damage.

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

General Refinishing Procedures - Installation
1. Unmask the wheels. 2. Clean all wheel mounting surface of any corrosion, overspray, or dirt.
Note
When re-balancing a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in order to
reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.
3. Install NEW coated balance weights at marked locations.
Note
Use a torque stick on an impact wrench, or a torque wrench to consistently and uniformly fasten
the wheel to the specified torque for the vehicle. The star pattern must be followed.
4. Install wheels on vehicle.
Repair Option Number 2 - Outside Companies
* Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. One such company, Transwheel
Corporation (800-892-3733), provides this service with GM guidelines. Other companies may also
exist.
* Any process that re-machines or otherwise remanufactures the wheel should not be used.
* The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process to assure that the
same wheel is returned. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel and warrant the
painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the new vehicle
warranty, whichever is longer.
* Paint and/or clearcoat must not be present on the following surfaces, the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole.
* A refinishers responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the
equivalent. Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any
kind is allowed. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the wheel. Hand and/or lathe
sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed. Material removal, though, must
be kept to a minimum.

some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is the
J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to use
the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper diagnosis.
Note
The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical center is
J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Seat Belt Retractor: All Technical Service Bulletins Restraint System - Normal Safety Belt Locking
Conditions
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 05-09-40-002E
Date: October 21, 2010
Subject: Safety Belt Locking Conditions (Normal Operating Characteristic)
Models:
2005-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2005-2010 HUMMER
H2, H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 05-09-40-002D (Section 09 - Restraints).
The purpose of this bulletin is to explain when the safety belts are supposed to lock. There are
several different locking situations for both front and rear safety belts.
Overspool Lock
There is an unintentional locking condition that ALL safety belts from ALL manufacturers may
experience called "overspool lock". If the webbing snaps back to the stowed position rapidly
enough, the retractor will lock with the belt fully stowed. This is more likely to occur when
customers "help" the belt to retract. Without the weight of the latch plate and friction to slow the
retractive speed of the webbing, the higher than normal webbing retraction speed that occurs
engages the locking mechanism when a sudden stop occurs at the end of web travel. Since the
webbing is now fully loaded on the spool, the retractor cannot rewind itself further to release the
locking mechanism. When this happens, the occupant cannot extract the belt to wear it. DO NOT
replace the retractor for this condition until first attempting to disengage the locking mechanism by
following the recommendation listed below.
Recommendation
Pull hard on the locked webbing and then release. The hard pull extracts a small amount of
webbing from the retractor which, in turn, permits a small amount of retraction to occur when
released. This is all that is needed to disengage the locking mechanism. The safety belt will now
function properly.
Vehicle Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the vehicle under the following conditions:
- The vehicle changes speed or direction abruptly (the vehicle goes into rapid acceleration OR
rapid deceleration or there is aggressive cornering).
- It can also occur in a static condition when a vehicle is parked on a large slant (fore-aft or
side-to-side), such as streets in San Francisco, California.
- It may also occur over rough road conditions where the retractor mechanism is bounced into a
locked condition.
In all of these conditions, as long as tension is maintained on the webbing, the belt will stay locked.
When the tension is released, the belt retracts slightly, the lock bar disengages and the safety belt
should return to normal function. Please inform customers that may comment that "the belt locks
intermittently" that this is the design intent and the belt is functioning properly.
Web Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the extraction of webbing. When the webbing reels out at
an accelerated rate, it goes into lock mode and stays there until tension is again released. To
observe this condition, extract the webbing quickly. Customers may refer to this condition as
"intermittent lock-up" and encounter it when trying to put the belt on too quickly.
Automatic Locking (ALR)
When the webbing is pulled all the way out, it automatically converts the retractor into a cinch-down
mode (i.e. ALR). This is typically used to tightly secure a child seat to the vehicle. Some customers
may experience inadvertent activation of ALR mode if they happen to pull the belt all the way out to
the end of travel while they are putting the belt on. The ALR mode of operation is automatically
cancelled when the belt is unfastened and stowed (the belt returns to normal sensitive function).
Corvette only - This locking mechanism is also provided at the driver's position of the Corvette only,
as a unique feature. Corvette customers may find this feature appealing when they plan to operate
the vehicle in a "spirited" manner (such as driving in mountainous terrain). With the ALR active, the
operator is snugly cinched into the seat and kept firmly in place during high G-force driving
maneuvers.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Power
Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Bulletin No.: 05-08-51-008C
Date: June 22, 2009
Subject: Bumps or Rust Colored Spots in Paint Due to Rail or Iron Dust (Remove Rail Dust)
Models:
1994-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2010 HUMMER H2
2006-2010 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 05-08-51-008B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Visible rust colored spots or bumps on a vehicle's paint surface from rail or iron dust.
Cause
Rail dust comes from tiny iron particles produced from the friction between train wheels and the
tracks and gets deposited on the vehicle surfaces. Iron dust can get deposited on the surface if the
vehicle is stored near any operation producing iron dust such as an iron ore yard. Either material
can lay on top of, or become embedded in, the paint surface.
Correction
Because the severity of the condition varies, proper diagnosis of the damage is critical to the
success of repairs. Diagnosis should be performed on horizontal surfaces (hood, roof, deck lid, pick
up box, etc.) after the vehicle has been properly cleaned. There are two types of repair materials
recommended to repair rail dust or iron dust:
1. GEL TYPE OXALIC ACID:
- Has the characteristics of the liquid type oxalic acid but stays where you put it because of its gel
consistency.
2. CLAY TYPE NON-ACID BASED:
- Requires surface lubricant during use. - Has different grades available.
Caution
Rail dust remover (Oxalic Acid) is an acidic substance containing chemicals that will break down
the iron particles embedded in the finish. When working with rail dust remover, use the necessary
safety equipment, including gloves and goggles. Follow the chemical manufacturer's directions
closely because it may require special handling and disposal.
If, upon inspection, some particles are still present, the various chemical manufacturer's processes
can be repeated.
After the removal process, small pits may remain in the clearcoat and can be corrected, in most
cases, with a finesse/polish operation.
Procedure
1. Move the vehicle to a cool shaded area and make sure that the vehicle surfaces are cool during
the removal process. DO NOT PERFORM THE
REMOVAL PROCESS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR ON A VEHICLE WITH HOT OR WARM BODY
PANELS.
2. Wash the vehicle with soap and water. Dry it immediately and clean the affected areas with a
wax and grease remover. 3. Perform the removal process according to the chemical
manufacturer's directions.
Once the damage has been repaired, the final step involves a polishing process.

- Support the GM Oil Life System, thereby minimizing the replacement of engine oil, before its life
has been depleted.
- Reduce the duplication of requirements for a large number of internal GM engine oil
specifications.
International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
GF-5 Standard
In addition to GM dexos 1(TM), a new International Lubricants Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) standard called GF-5, was introduced in October 2010.
- There will be a corresponding API category, called: SN Resource Conserving. The current GF-4
standard was put in place in 2004 and will become obsolete in October 2011. Similar to dexos
1(TM), the GF-5 standard will use a new fuel economy test, Sequence VID, which demands a
statistically significant increase in fuel economy versus the Sequence VIB test that was used for
GF-4.
- It is expected that all dexos 1(TM) approved oils will be capable of meeting the GF-5 standard.
However, not all GF-5 engine oils will be capable of meeting the dexos 1(TM) specification.
- Like dexos(TM), the new ILSAC GF-5 standard will call for more sophisticated additives. The API
will begin licensing marketers during October 2010, to produce and distribute GF-5 certified
products, which are expected to include SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 oils.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Requirements Effect on Fuel Economy
Since CAFE standards were first introduced in 1974, the fuel economy of cars has more than
doubled, while the fuel economy of light trucks has increased by more than 50 percent. Proposed
CAFE standards call for a continuation of increased fuel economy in new cars and trucks. To meet
these future requirements, all aspects of vehicle operation are being looked at more critically than
ever before.
New technology being introduced in GM vehicles designed to increase vehicle efficiency and fuel
economy include direct injection, cam phasing, turbocharging and active fuel management (AFM).
The demands of these new technologies on engine oil also are taken into consideration when
determining new oil specifications. AFM for example can help to achieve improved fuel economy.
However alternately deactivating and activating the cylinders by not allowing the intake and
exhaust valves to open contributes to additional stress on the engine oil.
Another industry trend for meeting tough fuel economy mandates has been a shift toward lower
viscosity oils.
dexos 1(TM) will eventually be offered in several viscosity grades in accordance with engine needs:
SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30 and 5W-30.
Using the right viscosity grade oil is critical for proper engine performance. Always refer to the
Maintenance section of a vehicle Owner Manual for the proper viscosity grade for the engine being
serviced.
GM Oil Life System in Conjunction With dexos (TM) Supports Extended Oil Change Intervals
To help conserve oil while maintaining engine protection, many GM vehicles are equipped with the
GM Oil Life System. This system can provide oil change intervals that exceed the traditional 3,000
mile (4,830 km) recommendation.
The dexos (TM) specification, with its requirements for improved oil robustness, compliments the
GM Oil Life System by supporting extended oil change intervals over the lifetime of a vehicle.
If all GM customers with GM Oil Life System equipped vehicles would use the system as intended,
GM estimates that more than 100 million gallons of oil could be saved annually.

splayed terminals and poor electrical connections. Customers may also have installed wires
adjacent to the fuse connector blades in order to create an electrical circuit, which also creates a
potential loose connection at the fuse. Other potential causes are probing by independent repair
shops during installation of aftermarket accessories like remote start systems.
Correction
If the terminals are damaged beyond repair, the engine wiring harness junction block will have to
be replaced.
Be sure to use the correct J-Tool (J-356616-35), which is designed to prevent splaying of the
terminals and loose connections.
Important:
DO NOT use any other device (incorrect J- Tool, multi-meter probe) to test fuse/relay terminals.
The figure shown shows splayed fuse terminals due to probing with a round instrument, which
caused a poor electrical connection between fuse blade and terminal (note lack of witness mark on
fuse blade).
The figure above shows a wire jammed into fuse slot (potential electrical tap by customer).
Warranty Information
This repair will not be covered under warranty due to damage/failure caused by inappropriate
probing or customer abuse.

* The cruise control On/Off switch
* The cruise control cancel switch
The body control module (BCM) determines when the cruise control cancel switch is activated.
When the normally open cancel switch is closed, the BCM detects the predetermined voltage
signal on the cruise control function switch circuit. The BCM sends a GMLAN serial data message
to the ECM in order to disengage the cruise control system.
The stop lamp switch is mounted on the brake pedal bracket. When the brake pedal is applied, the
normally open stop lamp switch closes. The ECM monitors the stop lamp signal circuit through a
discrete input and a GMLAN serial data message signal from the BCM indicating the brake status.
When both signals indicate the brake pedal is applied, the ECM will disengage the cruise control
system.
The Cruise Control System will disengage when the cruise control on/off switch is switched OFF.
The vehicle speed stored in the memory of the engine control module will be erased when the
cruise control On/Off switch is turned OFF, or the ignition switch is turned OFF.
The Cruise Control System will disengage when the ECM detects that a driver override function
has been active for approximately 60 seconds. When the Cruise Control System has been
disengaged, the ECM sends a GMLAN serial message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) in
order to turn OFF the Cruise Engaged indicator, and to the driver information center (DIC) in order
to turn OFF the CRUISE SET TO ### message.
Each time the Cruise Control System is disengaged, the ECM will keep track of the reason for
system disengagement. The last 8 disengagement reasons will be recorded within the ECM
memory, and can be viewed with a scan tool.
Cruise Control Inhibited
The engine control module (ECM) inhibits the cruise control operation when any of the following
conditions exist:
* The ECM has not detected a brake pedal activation from the body control module (BCM).
* A Cruise Control System DTC has been set.
* The vehicle speed is less than 40.2 km/h (25 mph).
* The vehicle speed is too high.
* The vehicle is in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or 1st gear.
* The engine RPM is too low.
* The engine RPM is too high.
* The system voltage is not between 9-16 volts.
* The Antilock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS) is active for more than 2
seconds.

* The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for
approximately 3 seconds.
* The ignition is ON, with the engine OFF.
Battery Voltage Gauge Operation
The IPC displays the system voltage as received from the BCM over the GMLAN serial data circuit.
If there is no communication with the BCM then the gauge will indicate minimum.
This vehicle is equipped with a regulated voltage control (RVC) system. This will cause the
voltmeter to fluctuate between 12 and 14 volts, as opposed to non-regulated systems which usually
maintain a more consistent reading of 14 volts. This fluctuation with the RVC system is normal
system operation and NO repairs should be attempted.
SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM
The BCM and the ECM will send a GMLAN message to the DIC for the SERVICE BATTERY
CHARGING SYSTEM message to be displayed. It is displayed whenever the charge indicator is
commanded ON due to a failure.

hot particles embed themselves in the chrome layer and create a small pit. If the material is allowed
to sit on the wheel while it is exposed to moisture or salt, it will corrode the wheel beneath the
chrome leaving a pit or small blister in the chrome.
Heavy brake dust build-up should be removed from wheels by using GM Chrome Cleaner and
Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada use 10953013). For moderate cleaning, light brake dust build-up
or water spots use GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use Meguiars
Plast-X(TM) Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish #G12310C**). After cleaning, the wheel should be
waxed using GM Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, use Meguiars Cleaner Wax
#M0616C**), which will help protect the wheel from brake dust and reduce adhesion of any brake
dust that gets on the wheel surface. For general maintenance cleaning, PEEK Metal Polish† may
be used. It will clean and shine the chrome and leave behind a wax coating that may help protect
the finish.
Warranty of Stardust Corroded Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of neglect and brake dust build-up may be
replaced one time.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean and free of prolonged exposure to brake dust
build-up. "GM of Canada" dealers require prior approval by the District Manager - Customer Care
and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
Customer Assistance and Instructions
GM has looked for ways customers may improve the appearance of wheels damaged by acidic
cleaners. The following product and procedure has been found to dramatically improve the
appearance of stained wheels. For wheels that have milky stains caused by acidic cleaners try the
following:
Notice
THE 3M CHROME AND METAL POLISH REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE IS AN
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE POLISH/CLEANER. THE WHEELS MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE
APPLICATION TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE WHEEL SURFACE. THIS PRODUCT WILL
REDUCE THE THICKNESS OF THE CHROME PLATING ON THE WHEEL AND IF USED
INCORRECTLY OR EXCESSIVELY MAY REMOVE THE CHROME PLATING ALL TOGETHER,
EXPOSING A LESS BRIGHT AND BRASSY COLORED SUB-LAYER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1. Wash the wheels with vigorously with soap and water. This step will clean and may reduce
wheel staining. Flood all areas of the wheel with water
to rinse.
2. Dry the wheels completely.
Notice Begin with a small section of the wheel and with light pressure buff off polish and examine
results. ONLY apply and rub with sufficient force and time to remove enough staining that you are
satisfied with the results. Some wheels may be stained to the extent that you may only achieve a
50% improvement while others may be able to be restored to the original lustre. IN ALL CASES,
only apply until the results are satisfactory.
3. Apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527* with a clean terry cloth towel. As you apply the
polish, the staining will be diminished. 4. When dry, buff off the polish with a clean portion of the
towel. 5. Repeat application of the 3M Chrome and Metal Polish until satisfied with the results. If
continued applications fail to improve the appearance
further discontinue use.
This procedure will improve the appearance of the wheels and may, with repeated applications,
restore the finish dramatically. For wheels that exhibit spotting from road chemicals the above
procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
In this type of staining the wheel finish has actually been removed in spots and no manner of
cleaning will restore the finish.

aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

Parts Information
No parts are required for the majority of vehicles. 44 vehicles will require replacement of the control
solenoid valve (transmission controller) (see list below for listing of vehicles). Assemblies required
to complete this program are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales
(GMCC&A;). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" before ordering parts. Normal orders
should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency situation, parts should
be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.
Service Procedure

Important When a wheel alignment is deemed necessary for tire wear, be sure to document on the
repair order, in as much detail as possible, the severity and type of tire wear (e.g., severe center
wear or severe inside or outside shoulder wear) and the position of the tire on the vehicle (RF, LF,
LR, RR). Please note the customer's concern with the wear such as, noise, appearance, wear life,
etc. A field product report with pictures of the tire wear condition is recommended. Refer to
Corporate Bulletin Number 02-00-89-002J and #07-00-89-036C.
4. Other repairs that affect wheel alignment; e.g., certain component replacement such as
suspension control arm replacement, engine cradle
adjustment/replace, steering gear replacement, steering tie rod replace, suspension strut/shock,
steering knuckle, etc. may require a wheel alignment.
Important If other components or repairs are identified as affecting the wheel alignment, policy calls
for the wheel alignment labor time to be charged to the replaced/repaired component's labor
operation time rather than the wheel alignment labor operations.
Important Vibration type customer concerns are generally NOT due to wheel alignment except in
the rare cases; e.g., extreme diagonal wear across the tread. In general, wheel alignments are
NOT to be performed as an investigation/correction for vibration concerns.
"Normal Operation" Conditions
Vehicle Lead/Pull Due to Road Crown or Slope:
As part of "Normal Operation," vehicles will follow side-to-side or left to right road crown or slope.
Be sure to verify from the customer the types of roads they are driving as they may not recognize
the influence of road crown on vehicle lead/pull and steering wheel angle. If a vehicle requires
significant steering effort to prevent it from "climbing" the road crown there may be an issue to be
looked into further.

Caster Description
Alignment: Description and Operation Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when
viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear . Caster is
affected by the vehicle height, therefore it is important to keep the body at its designed height.
Overloading the vehicle or a weak or sagging rear spring will affect caster. When the rear of the
vehicle is lower than its designated trim height, the front suspension moves to a more positive
caster. If the rear of the vehicle is higher than its designated trim height, the front suspension
moves to a less positive caster.
With too little positive caster, steering may be touchy at high speed and wheel returnability may be
diminished when coming out of a turn. If one wheel has more positive caster than the other, that
wheel will pull toward the center of the vehicle. This condition will cause the vehicle to pull or lead
to the side with the least amount of positive caster.

Each control module may need to be disconnected to isolate a circuit fault. Use the schematic to
identify the following:
* Control modules the vehicle is equipped with
* High speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminating resistors
* Control module locations on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits
* Each control module's high speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminals
1. Attempt to communicate with all control modules on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit,
refer toData Link References (See: Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Data Link References) . Communications should not be
available with two or more control modules on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
‹› If only one control module is not communicating, diagnose that control module only; refer toDTC
U0100-U0299 (See: Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/U Code Charts/U0100) .
2. Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC. The following tests will be done at the DLC connector. 3.
All access doors closed, ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 10 ohm between the ground
circuit terminal 5 and ground.
‹› If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
4. Ignition ON, test for less than 4.5 V between the serial data circuits listed below and ground:
* Terminal 6
* Terminal 14
‹› If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage; refer to
Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short to
Voltage.
5. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for greater than 100 ohm between the serial data circuits listed
below and ground:
* Terminal 6
* Terminal 14
‹› If not the specified value, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground; refer to Testing the
Serial Data Circuits for a Short to ground.
6. Test for 50-70 ohm between the serial data circuits terminal 6 and terminal 14.
‹› If less than 35 ohm, test for a short between the serial data circuits; refer to Testing the Serial
Data Circuits for a Short between the Circuits. ‹› If 35-50 ohm there may be a third terminating
resistor between the serial data circuits. This can happen if the incorrect control module is
installed. Some control modules are available with and without the terminating resistors installed to
reduce the need of terminating resistors in the wiring harness.
‹› If greater than 70 ohm but less than infinite, test the serial data circuit for an open/high
resistance; refer to Testing the Serial Data Circuits for
an Open/High Resistance.
‹› If infinite, test the serial data circuits between the DLC and the first connection to the serial data
circuit for an open/high resistance.
Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short to Voltage
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors with the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits
at an easily accessible control module. 2. Ignition ON, test for greater than 4.5 V between each
serial data circuit at the control module connector that was just disconnected and ground.
Verify that one or more serial data circuits are greater than 4.5 V.

Wiper Concerns
Most concerns about windshield wiper performance are the result of dirty wiper blades, damaged
wiper blades, or worn out blades that are continuing to be used beyond their useful life. Depending
on environmental conditions, wiper blades can have dramatic differences in lifespan. Here are
some tips and guidelines to maximize wiper performance to avoid damage to the blades, and to
avoid unnecessary replacements.
Many wiper blades are being replaced under warranty with reviews showing there is nothing wrong
with the returned blades other than a build-up of dirt. Additionally, advise the customer to review
the information in their Owner Manual.
Inspection and Cleaning
Scheduled Maintenance
- Inspect your wipers rubber blades every 4-6 months or 12,000 km (7,500 mi) for wear, cracking or
contamination.
- Clean the windshield and the rubber wiper blades (using the procedure below) if the blades are
not clearing the glass satisfactorily. If this does not correct the problem, then replace the rubber
elements.
Cleaning Procedure
Important Avoid getting windshield washer fluid on your hands. Wear rubber gloves or avoid direct
contact with washer fluid.
Important Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or petroleum based products to clean wiper blades.
- Clean the rubber blades using a lint free cloth or paper towel soaked with windshield washer fluid
or a mild detergent. You should see significant amounts of dirt being removed on the cloth.
- Be sure to wash the windshield thoroughly when you clean the blades. Bugs, road grime, sap and
a buildup of car wash/wax treatments may additionally cause wiper streaking.
Tip For a larger scale buildup on the windshield, use a non-abrasive cleaner such as Bon-Ami*
(www.faultless.com) cleanser with a wet sponge, being sure to use plenty of water to avoid
scratching the glass. Flush the surface and body panels completely.
Tip For day-to-day exterior glass cleaning and to maintain a streak free appearance, suggest
Vehicle Care Glass Cleaner, P/N 88862560 (in Canada, 992727). This product is an easy to use
foaming cleaner that quickly removes dirt and grime from glass surfaces.
Tip Interior glass should be cleaned with plain, clean water to eliminate any film or haze on the
window and help prevent fogging, a major customer dissatisfier. Refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-00-89-006D for more information. The New Vehicle Pre-Delivery Inspection form also
recommends using plain water to clean interior glass.

Follow these procedures if a customer comments that their GM Accessory 2-way transmitter
stopped communicating with the vehicle.
About GM Accessory 2-Way Remote Start
The GM Accessory 2-way transmitter has the ability to operate a second vehicle equipped with a
2-way advanced remote start system, but often the 2-way transmitter may only be coded to one
vehicle. If the customer presses the left side button twice within one second, the 2-way transmitter
will enter second vehicle mode and will not control the original vehicle until a subsequent double
press of the left side button places the transmitter back in first vehicle mode. Each vehicle mode of
the 2-way transmitter should be thought of as an individual transmitter with its own unique code.
Test the Transmitter Battery
Note
This test should be performed prior to releasing the vehicle or transmitter to the customer.
All transmitter batteries should be tested immediately after installation of a 2-way remote start kit or
replacement of a transmitter battery using the following procedure.
1. Press the unlock button on the transmitter eight times consecutively. 2. After the eighth press of
the unlock button, observe the battery gauge located in the upper right corner of the LCD display.
The gauge should read
full (three bars inside the battery icon).
If after having a new battery installed, the battery goes dead within five months, the transmitter
could have high sleep current, causing the battery to go dead. Replace the transmitter.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition
exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be
performed.
Determine if Transmitter is in Second Vehicle Mode
1. Press and release any of the face buttons on the 2-way transmitter and observe the display on
power-up. 2. If the 2-way transmitter is in second vehicle mode, the second vehicle icon will be
displayed on the left side of the transmitter display. Is the 2-way
transmitter in second vehicle mode?
If Yes, the 2-way transmitter is working properly.
- Press and release the left side button twice within one second. The 2-way transmitter should exit
second vehicle mode.
- Press and release the lock button. Press and release the unlock button.
Service and Repair
Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is
based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life
system to work properly, the system must be reset every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it indicates that an oil change is
necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes on. See DIC Warnings and
Messages. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible
that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system might not indicate that an oil change is
necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year
and at this time the system must be reset. Your dealer/retailer has trained service people who will
perform this work using genuine parts and reset the system. It is also important to check the oil
regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since the
last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System (From Owner's Manual)
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message coming on, reset the system.
Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change. It will not reset itself. To reset the
Engine Oil Life System:
1. Display the OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC. If the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, the
vehicle must be in P (Park) to access this display. 2. Press and hold the SET/RESET button on the
DIC, or the trip odometer reset stem if the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, for more than five
seconds. The oil life will change to 100%.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes back on when the vehicle is started, the
Engine Oil Life System has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
GM Oil Life System Resetting (From Service Manual)
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change
is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will come on. Change the engine oil as
soon as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 miles). It is possible that, if driving under the best
conditions, the oil life system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year.
However, the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system
must be reset.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, change the engine oil at 5 000 km (3,000 miles) since last
oil change.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System (From Service Manual)
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Anytime the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message being turned on, reset the system.
If the vehicle does not have a Driver Information Center (DIC), do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine OFF. 2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal
slowly three times within five seconds. 3. Turn the key to OFF. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message comes back on when you start the vehicle, the engine oil life system has not
reset. Repeat the procedure.
If the vehicle has a DIC, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine OFF. 2. Press the MODE button until the DIC reads OIL
LIFE LEFT/HOLD SET TO RESET. 3. Press and hold the SET button until 100 percent is
displayed. You will hear three chimes and the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will go
off.
4. Turn the key to OFF.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes back on when you start the vehicle, the
engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the

Important Other forms of slow air leaks are possible. If the body of the tire, valve stem and wheel
flange show no signs of air seepage, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-003D for
additional information on possible wheel porosity issues.
3. Bead seat corrosion is identified by what appears like blistering of the wheel finish, causing a
rough or uneven surface that is difficult for the tire to
maintain a proper seal on. Below is a close-up photo of bead seat corrosion on an aluminum wheel
that was sufficient to cause slow air loss. Close-Up of Bead Seat Corrosion
4. If corrosion is found on the wheel bead seat, measure the affected area as shown below.
- For vehicles with 32,186 km (20,000 mi) or less, the total allowable combined linear area of
repairable corrosion is 100 mm (4 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
- For vehicles that have exceeded 32,186 km (20,000 mi), the total allowable combined linear area
of repairable corrosion is 200 mm (8 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
5. In order to correct the wheel leak, use a clean-up (fine cut) sanding disc or biscuit to remove the
corrosion and any flaking paint. You should
remove the corrosion back far enough until you reach material that is stable and firmly bonded to
the wheel. Try to taper the edge of any flaking paint as best you can in order to avoid sharp edges
that may increase the chance of a leak reoccurring. The photo below shows an acceptable repaired
surface.
Notice Corrosion that extends up the lip of the wheel, where after the clean-up process it would be
visible with the tire mounted, is only acceptable on the inboard flange. The inboard flange is not
visible with the wheel assembly in the mounted position. If any loose coatings or corrosion extend
to the visible surfaces on the FACE of the wheel, that wheel must be replaced.
Important Remove ONLY the material required to eliminate the corrosion from the bead seating
surface. DO NOT remove excessive amounts of material. ALWAYS keep the sealing surface as
smooth and level as possible.

A removable insert, shown above, was added to the outer groove of the upper side rail clamp to
help prevent improper positioning from unintentionally occurring.
Check that the clamps are properly installed using the correct groove in the upper side rail clamp.
Correct positioning is detailed in the illustration above.
Cause #2
The condition may be caused by the tonneau bows not falling into proper position when the
tonneau cover is rolled out. This cause would indicate that repositioning on an upper side rail clamp
is needed.
Correction #2
Note the position of the bows and use the appropriate repair below:
- If bows do not fit between the side rails and additional clearance is required, remove the clamp
nearest the interference. Remove the orange strip to allow access to the outer groove of the upper
clamp. Reinstall the clamp, using the outer groove of the upper clamp.
- If bows are too loose, adjust the clamp nearest the bow with excessive clearance to the inner
groove of the upper clamp.
Cause #3
This condition may be caused by a misalignment of the tonneau side rails and/or improper
adjustment of the forward tension screws. The graphic above shows a misalignment of the tonneau
side rail (1) to the front of the pickup box (2).
Correction #3
1. Verify that the tonneau side rails are aligned with the front of the pickup box as shown above.
2. Ensure that the side rails are aligned with each other in the same fore/aft position (1) on the
vehicle.

Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

This condition may be caused by an incomplete brake bleeding procedure, allowing the control
module to learn invalid actuator offsets.
Correction
Warning
The high pressure accumulator (HPA) and the chambers of the brake modulator assembly to which
it attaches, store brake fluid at extremely high pressures. Fluid pressure must be relieved before
attempting to bleed the brake system. Ensure that the recommended procedures are followed to
relieve system pressure, to avoid brake fluid spray. Failure to properly follow procedures to
depressurize the system may result in personal injury or damage to the vehicle. Refer to Brake
Fluid Irritant Warning and Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Caution in SI.
Note
Install a midtronics battery charger or equivalent on the vehicle to maintain the battery voltage.
Note
The brake corners must be cool to obtain the most accurate measurement.
Check the brake pedal travel and perform the automated brake bleed procedure with the Tech 2(R)
following the procedure below.
1. Place the transmission in the PARK position.
Note
The ignition must be in the OFF position, without pausing at ACCESSORY, and without applying
the brake pedal to ensure the brake modulator and high pressure accumulator (HPA) pressure
relief occurs. This process will take approximately 1-3 minutes.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the hard tonneau rear latch is not functioning properly or that
the tonneau cover is loose on the vehicle, causing noticeable movement during vehicle operation.
Cause
This condition may be caused by both sides of the latch not engaging or releasing at the same
time, or the tonneau frame may be misaligned.
Correction
Note
The tonneau cover latches contain multiple design features to accommodate for build variation of
the pickup box and tonneau cover.
Use the following repair process to obtain proper latch operation:
Inspect/Adjust Latch to Striker Loop Interface
Side to Side Adjustment
1. Lower the endgate. 2. Slowly lower the tonneau cover from the open to closed position. Use
caution not to drop or slam the tonneau cover closed as this may damage the
latch assembly.
3. Inspect the fit of the latch into the striker loop just before the U-shaped catch is engaged. The
latch should fit into the striker loop without
contacting any portion of the rear bracket or striker loop. If contact is observed, proceed with the
following steps:
1. Loosen the two nuts of the rotary latch that is making contact to the striker loop assembly with a
7/16 inch wrench. 2. Slide the rotary latch side to side until the latch freely falls into the rear striker
loop. 3. Tighten the rotary latch nuts to 2.26 Nm (20 lb in). 4. Inspect the operation of the latches by
turning the twist handle. If the latches do not close or release properly, adjust the latch wire per the
Inspect/Adjust Latch Release Operation section of this document.
Up and Down Adjustment
1. Lower the endgate. 2. Close the tonneau cover by pushing down on the panel near the twist
handle on the top of the tonneau cover. 3. Inspect the fit of the tonneau cover side seal to the
pickup box. If the seal does not have complete contact, lower the striker loop until the seal has
complete contact using the following steps:
1. Loosen the two 1/4 inch nuts that hold the striker plate to the rear bracket. 2. Lower the striker
loop. 3. Tighten the 1/4 inch nuts to 13.5 Nm (120 lb in). 4. Inspect for seal contact and repeat
procedure as necessary.
4. Close the endgate. 5. Close the tonneau cover by pushing down on the panel near the twist
handle on the top of the tonneau cover. 6. Inspect that both latches have engaged by lifting up on
the corner of the tonneau.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Bulletin No.: 07-08-46-002D
Date: July 29, 2009
Subject: Audio Whine Noise from Radio Speakers When Using OnStar(R) (Install Noise
Suppression Filter)
Models:
2007-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2007-2010 HUMMER H2, H3
2007-2009 Saab 9-7X Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-46-002C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on an audio whine coming from the radio speakers when using the
OnStar(R) system. The amplitude and frequency of the whine will change with an increase or
decrease in engine speed.
Cause
This condition may be caused by electrical noise on the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication
Interface Module (VCIM) battery feed wire being passed to the microphone output pins at the radio.
Correction
Technicians are to install a noise suppression filter, P/N 1224205, into the OnStar(R) battery
voltage circuit, a few centimeters (inches) from the VCIM. The filter package has three attached
wires - a single yellow wire at one end with a yellow wire and a black wire at the other. Install the
single yellow wire side into the battery voltage circuit towards the VCIM. Install the remaining single
yellow wire into the battery voltage circuit toward the fuse and the black wire to ground.
Important The noise suppression filter is polarity sensitive. The filter is designed to be most
effective when the end with the capacitor ground is connected towards the source of the electrical
noise. Install the filter in this polarity first. If the noise level is still not satisfactory, try disconnecting
the capacitor ground. In some cases, if the first installation does not correct the noise, try reversing
the filter polarity (removing the filter, turning it end for end and then reinstalling it) and grounding
the capacitor lead.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.

4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Models:
2008-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2009 Chevrolet Silverado
2008-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe 2007-2009 GMC Sierra 2008-2009 GMC
Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL 2008-2009 HUMMER H2
Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Dye Transfer: Dye transfer will happen any time a natural fiber like cotton, silk, wool, or suede
comes into contact with leather. The lighter the leather color, the more quickly the dye transfer will
appear. Leather should be cleaned on a regular basis so that the dirt and grime do not adversely
affect the top coat of the leather. After cleaning the leather, it is important to treat the surface with
the restorer.
Extractor Machine and Concentrate
For difficult to clean materials or when cleaning a large area, the best results will be achieved when
using an extractor machine and concentrate. General Motors offers the Ruby Extractor (P/N
627-CC-3000AU) through GM Tools and Equipment 1-800-GM-TOOLS, and has recently released
a concentrate for use with the extractor machine.
Whichever extractor machine is used, it should meet the minimum specifications of the Ruby
Extractor:
Ruby Extractor Specifications:
- Pump PSI: 55
- Water Lift: 85"
- Hose Length: 10 ft
Important The Ruby Extractor also comes with a 6 year Outer Body and 3 year Parts warranty.
Extractor: The Ruby Extractor machine was designed for automotive use and works effectively in
the vehicle's interior. The narrow design of the vacuum head allows detail work in tight areas. The
water pressure pump is reduced so the fabric surface is not wet more than is necessary. The dry
time is greatly reduced due to less water on the fabric surface, the vacuum head making better
contact with the surface and the significant water lift capability of the machine.
Concentrate: The concentrated extraction cleaner is engineered with lower pH levels to help
remove alkaline buildup on fabrics. The concentrate should be mixed according to the instructions
listed on the container. The available concentrate helps to break the stain down and then the stain
is easily removed with less water. The concentrate used in the Ruby Extractor is slightly acidic to
remove soap and alkalinity from the fabric surfaces left behind by using improper, soapy solutions.
Dirt, grease and grime are more easily removed when the proper solution is used during the
extraction process.

is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

1.7-3.4 Nm (15-30 lb in) for new bearings.
12. If the rotating torque measurement is below1.0 Nm (10 lb in) for used bearings, or1.7 Nm (15 lb
in) for new bearings, continue to tighten the
pinion nut in small increments, until the torque required in order to rotate the pinion is
between1.0-2.3 Nm (10-20 lb in) for used bearings, or 1.7-3.4 Nm
(15-30 lb in) for new bearings.
13. Once the specified torque is obtained, rotate the pinion several times to ensure the bearings
have seated. 14. Recheck the rotating torque of the pinion bearing and adjust if necessary. 15.

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Equipped with 4WD (RPO NQG, NQH)
Attention:
This bulletin contains a procedure to clean/lubricate the rear propshaft slip yoke splines and
replace, if necessary. Check the history on this vehicle. If the lubrication procedure has been
performed previously, then continue on and replace the transfer case rear output shaft.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the warranty statement. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 09-04-21-003C (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a bump feel or clunk noise at a stop or on launch. Customers
may also comment that the bump feel or clunk is noticed after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop and that it feels as if the vehicle was bumped from behind.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the rear propshaft slip yoke and the
transfer case rear output shaft splines. Braking to a complete stop can force the propshaft slip yoke
forward into the transfer case while the vehicle rebounds slightly backward after stopping its
momentum.
Correction
Note
Do not use grease for lubrication of the slip yoke splines on 4WD vehicles. The output shaft in a
4WD transfer case does not have a grease retainer to keep the grease from migrating into the
transfer case and mixing with the fluid inside. Grease is not compatible with the automatic
transmission fluid (ATF) used in the transfer case and can cause damage if mixed.
Note
The clunk noise may also be due to fuel movement in the fuel tank when not completely full. If the
condition is eliminated after filling the fuel tank, the noise is isolated to the fuel movement in the
tank. Please make no repair attempts, as this noise is considered an operating characteristic.
Verify the customer's concern.
Clean/Lubricate Rear PropShaft Slip Yoke Splines
1. Remove the rear drive shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect
the rear propshaft slip yoke splines.
Note Protect the transfer case rear seal from Brake Clean.
3. Clean the rear propshaft slip yoke splines with Brake Clean or equivalent and a shop towel. 4.
Assure that the splines are free of rust or other foreign material. 5. Lubricate the spline with
Automatic Transmission Fluid, P/N 88861003 (in Canada, 19264717). 6. Reinstall the rear drive
shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 7. Road test the vehicle and verify
that the noise is gone. 8. If the vehicle has a repeat concern after lubricating the slip yoke splines,
replace the rear output shaft.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Engine with Active Fuel Management (AFM) (RPOs LC9, LH6, L76, LFA, L92) with Greater than
45,000 km (28,000 mi)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year and new Correction
information for the 2009 model year - left rocker arm cover replacement. Information has also been
added after step 9. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-01-008A (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment about engine oil consumption of vehicles with higher mileage
(approximately 48,000 to 64,000 km (30,000 to 40,000 mi). Verify that the induction system is
assembled correctly and that there is no evidence that the engine has been ingesting dirty air due
to a mis-assembled induction system. Also verify that the PCV system is functioning properly. If
diagnostic procedures indicate that oil consumption is piston /piston ring related, verify that oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart. If these conditions are met and oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart, perform the service indicated in this
bulletin.
Cause
This condition may be caused by oil spray that is discharged from the AFM pressure relief valve
within the crankcase. Under most driving conditions and drive cycles, the discharged oil does not
cause a problem. Under certain drive cycles (extended high engine speed operation), in
combination with parts at the high end of their tolerance specification, the oil spray quantity may be
more than usual, resulting in excessive deposit formation in the piston ring grooves, causing
increased oil consumption.
Correction
2009 Vehicles Only
Important This left rocker arm cover is NOT to be used on 2007-2008 vehicles because of the
calibration of the PCV orifice being different in 2007-2008.
A new left rocker arm cover has been released for 2009 engines. Technicians should replace the
left rocker arm cover with GM P/N 12642655. This rocker arm cover has relocated PCV drain holes
that prevents PCV pullover into the intake manifold. Refer to SI for Valve Rocker Arm Cover
Replacement - Left Side.
2008-2007 Vehicles Only
To correct this condition, perform the piston cleaning procedure as described in this document, and
install a shield over the AFM pressure relief valve per the procedure outlined in this document.
Monitor oil consumption after this repair to ensure oil consumption has improved to acceptable
levels. If this repair does not correct the condition, it may be necessary to replace the piston
assemblies (piston and rings) with new parts.
Important It is critical in this cleaning process that the engine/fuel injector cleaner remain in the
cylinders for a minimum of 2.5 hours to fully clean the components. The cleaner solution must be
removed before a maximum of three hours.
1. Verify the oil consumption concern following Corporate Bulletin Number 01-06-01-011F. If oil
consumption is found, continue on with this
bulletin.
2. Remove the spark plugs and ensure that none of the pistons are at top dead center (TDC). 3.
Clean the pistons by putting 118-147 ml (4-5 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, GM
P/N 88861802 (in Canada, use 88861804), in
each cylinder. Allow the material to soak for at least 2.5-3.0 hours, but no more than three hours
and then remove the cleaner. A suggested method

Steering Wheel Position Sensor Centering
Removal Procedure
Caution: With wheels of the vehicle facing straight ahead, secure the steering wheel utilizing
steering column anti-rotation pin, steering column lock, or a strap to prevent rotation. Locking of the
steering column will prevent damage and a possible malfunction of the SIR system. The steering
wheel must be secured in position before disconnecting the following components:
* The steering column
* The intermediate shaft(s)
* The steering gear
After disconnecting these components, do not rotate the steering wheel or move the front tires and
wheels. Failure to follow this procedure may cause the SIR coil assembly to become un-centered
and cause possible damage to the SIR coil. If you think the SIR coil has became un-centered, refer
to your specific SIR coil's centering procedure to re-center SIR Coil.
1. With the wheels of the vehicle in the straight ahead position, secure the steering wheel or the
steering column with a steering column anti-rotation
pin, a steering column lock, or a strap, as applicable, in order to prevent rotation.

* Accessory DC power control module (APM)
* Battery energy control module (BECM)
* Motor control module (MCM) 1
* Motor control module (MCM) 2
* Auxiliary transmission fluid pump (ATFP) control module
These modules diagnose their own operation and determine when a fault condition is present.
Diagnostic status is communicated to the HPCM through the following circuits:
* APM utilizes the GM Hi-speed, Hybrid LAN communication circuit
* BECM utilizes the GM Hi-speed, Hybrid LAN communication circuit
* Each MCM and the HPCM exchange information and commands on the SPI bus internal
communication circuit as well as the hi-speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit.
* ATFP control module utilizes a dedicated diagnostic status circuit
In the event a hosted module communicates a fault condition, the HPCM will determine if hybrid
operation is effected and notify the vehicle operator by requesting the MIL illuminate and/or by
displaying a hybrid service required message. In addition, the HPCM will store the associated DTC
information for retrieval by a scan tool. Some hosted modules may require an ignition cycle to clear
certain DTCs from the HPCM.
Circuit Inputs
In addition to GMLAN parameters, the HPCM directly monitors the following signal circuits:
* Transmission shift selector internal mode switch (IMS) Direction and Park/Neutral switch signals
* Engine crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal
* ATFP diagnostic circuit
* High voltage interlock circuit (HVIC)
Circuit Outputs
In addition to GMLAN and SPI bus commands, the HPCM directly controls the following output
circuits:
* ATFP control circuit
* BECM high voltage contactor relay pulse width modulated (PWM) control circuit
Motor Control Module (MCM) 1 and 2
Location
Each electric motor generator located within the transmission assembly is controlled by its own
motor control module (MCM) flash-programmable, micro-processor. Each MCM is contained within
the PIM. Also contained within the PIM is the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM)
micro-processor.
Operating Functions
Each MCM operates the applicable electric motor generator based upon HPCM commands. Each
MCM controls the speed, direction and output torque of its respective traction motor through the
sequencing actuation of high current switching transistors called insulated gate bipolar transistors
(IGBTs).
Communication and Hosted Diagnostics
In addition to the internal SPI bus communication circuit between the HPCM and each MCM, the
MCMs also communicate on the Hi-speed and Hybrid GMLAN communication circuits. The MCM
does not store its own diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information. The HPCM will store MCM
associated DTC information for retrieval by a scan tool. The scan tool can communicate directly
with each MCM in order to retrieve data parameters only.
Circuit Inputs
In addition to GMLAN parameters, each MCM monitors its respective motor generator for voltage,
current, speed, direction and temperature. Additionally, the MCM monitors the IGBT components
for temperature and proper operation. Some of the MCM operation data is shared with the HPCM.
Circuit Outputs
Each MCM controls its respective IGBT driver board that in-turn controls each motor generator.
The motor generators operate using three-phase alternating current (AC) electricity. Three cables
connect each motor generator to the PIM. Each individually shielded cable is orange in color to
alert the technician that the potential for high voltage is present.

Danger: Always perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage
component or connection. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be
followed.
The High Voltage Disabling procedure will perform the following tasks:
* Identify how to disable high voltage.
* Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.
* Identify condition under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment
(PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.
Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.
1. Perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure. Refer to High Voltage Disabling (See: Battery
System, Hybrid Drive/Testing and
Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/High Voltage Disabling) .
2. Remove the air cleaner. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement (See: Engine, Cooling and
Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and Engine
Performance Checks/Air Cleaner Housing/Service and Repair) .
3. Disconnect the drive motor generator control module assembly connector (1). 4. Drain the power
electronics cooling system. Refer to Generator Control Module Cooling System Draining and Filling
(See: Service and
Repair/Procedures) .
Page 11753
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.

Fluid - A/T: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Water Or Coolant Contamination Information
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-07-30-035B
Date: November 01, 2010
Subject: Information on Water or Ethylene Glycol in Transmission Fluid
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks with Automatic Transmission
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 08-07-30-035A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Water or ethylene glycol in automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is harmful to internal transmission
components and will have a negative effect on reliability and durability of these parts. Water or
ethylene glycol in ATF will also change the friction of the clutches, frequently resulting in shudder
during engagement or gear changes, especially during torque converter clutch engagement.
Indications of water in the ATF may include:
- ATF blowing out of the transmission vent tube.
- ATF may appear cloudy or, in cases of extreme contamination, have the appearance of a
strawberry milkshake.
- Visible water in the oil pan.
- A milky white substance inside the pan area.
- Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be glued to the valve body face or case.
- Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be swollen or wrinkled in areas where they are not
compressed.
- Rust on internal transmission iron/steel components.
If water in the ATF has been found and the source of the water entry has not been identified, or if a
leaking in-radiator transmission oil cooler is suspected (with no evidence of cross-contamination in
the coolant recovery reservoir), a simple and quick test kit is available that detects the presence of
ethylene glycol in ATF. The "Gly-Tek" test kit, available from the Nelco Company, should be
obtained and the ATF tested to make an accurate decision on the need for radiator replacement.
This can help to prevent customer comebacks if the in-radiator transmission oil cooler is leaking
and reduce repair expenses by avoiding radiator replacement if the cooler is not leaking. These
test kits can be obtained from:
Nelco Company
Test kits can be ordered by phone or through the website listed above. Orders are shipped
standard delivery time but can be shipped on a next day delivery basis for an extra charge. One
test kit will complete 10 individual fluid sample tests. For vehicles repaired under warranty, the cost
of the complete test kit plus shipping charges should be divided by 10 and submitted on the
warranty claim as a net item.
The transmission should be repaired or replaced based on the normal cost comparison procedure.
Important If water or coolant is found in the transmission, the following components MUST be
replaced.
- Replace all of the rubber-type seals.
- Replace all of the composition-faced clutch plates and/or bands.
- Replace all of the nylon parts.
- Replace the torque converter.
- Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transmission, using new gaskets and oil filter.
Important The following steps must be completed when repairing or replacing.
Flush and flow check the transmission oil cooler using J 45096. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
02-07-30-052F- Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Essential Tool J 45096
TransFlow.
- Thoroughly inspect the engine cooling system and hoses and clean/repair as necessary.
Page 19081
Note Ensure that the cross-car adhesive foam is positioned at a height just below the insulator
push pin fastener locations so that once the fasteners are installed, the seal is compressed.
- Across the inner rear body panel, matching the width of the insulator panel.
- Downward from each end of the cross-car foam (left side (1) shown in the graphic above). The
length should match the height of the insulator panel.
- Partially around the two PRV's. Install the foam down the outboard side (1), underneath (2),
partially back up the inboard side (3), then finish with a length extending further inboard (4) from
the PRV.
Important Ensure that any C-pillar wiring harnesses/connectors are routed forward of the insulator,
and not trapped behind it.
4. Position the body rear panel insulator to the inner rear body panel and install the push pin
retainers. Caution should be taken to not disturb the
foam tape installed previously.

Drive Belt Chirping, Squeal, and Whine Diagnosis
Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Chirping, Squeal, and Whine Diagnosis
Drive Belt Chirping, Squeal, and Whine Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
* A chirping or squeal noise may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belts or the pulleys. It
may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belts in order to duplicate the
customers concern. If spraying water on the drive belt duplicates the symptom, cleaning the belt
pulleys may be the probable solution.
* If the noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making
sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. Generator failing are suggested items to
inspect.
* A chirping, squeal or whine noise may be caused by a loose or improper installation of a body or
suspension component. Other items of the vehicle may also cause the noise.
* The drive belts will not cause a whine noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise may not be
engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is not making
the noise do not proceed further with this table. 3. The noise may be an internal engine noise.
Removing the drive belts one at a time and operating the engine for a brief period will verify the
noise is related to the drive belt. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be
operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the
drive belts removed. 4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it
can be strings in the drive belt grooves from the accumulation of rubber dust. 6. Misalignment of
the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect
installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a
previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two
or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the
proper installation procedure for that pulley. 10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the
possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for
being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent
the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a
pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley. 14. This test is to verify that the
drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is not operating properly, proper
belt tension may not be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal
noise. 15. This test is to verify that the drive belt is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt
tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect length drive belt was installed, it may not be
routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive component in the wrong direction. 16.
Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward
or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley
grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive
component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley. 17. This test is to verify that the
pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known good vehicle compare the pulley sizes.
19. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

The pins that retain the handle to the base at its forward pivot point can be pulled out of the base
(The handle does not fall off of the vehicle). This occurs in hot temperatures when the handle is
pulled in an outboard and rearward motion when opening the door.
Correction
A new clip has been designed to prevent the legs of the fork area of the handle from collapsing and
letting the handle pull out. Use the following procedure to install the clip into the outside door
handle assembly.
1. Remove the outside door handle that is experiencing the concern.
- Use the published procedure in SI for Front Side Door Outside Handle Replacement for front door
handle service.

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

The information outlined in this bulletin is designed to provide easy to follow control valve body
reconditioning instructions using the new illustrations to simplify reassembly of the 6L45, 6L50,
6L80 and/or 6L90 automatic transmission control valve body assembly.
Caution
Valve springs can be tightly compressed. Use care when removing retainers and plugs. Personal
injury could result.
Notice
After cleaning the transmission components, allow to air dry. Do not use cloth or paper towels in
order to dry any transmission components. Lint from the towels can cause component failure.
Notice
Do not reuse cleaning solvents. Previously used solvents may deposit sediment, which may
damage the component.
Inspection Procedure for Shift Concerns
1. Using the exploded view, inspect each bore for freedom of valve(s) movement and evidence of
debris. Pay particular attention to those valves
related to the customer's concern. IF VALVE BODY CLEANING IS NOT REQUIRED, DO NOT
DISASSEMBLE THE BORES UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY TO VERIFY MOVEMENT.
2. Verify movement of the valves in their normal installed position. Valves may become restricted
during removal or installation. This is normal due
to small tolerances between the valves and bores.
3. If a valve is restricted and cannot be corrected by cleaning the valve and bore, replace the valve
body. Describe the restricted valve on the repair
order.
Disassembly/Reassembly for Cleaning Debris
1. If a valve is restricted by a metal burr from machining that bore, remove the valve and burr.
Inspect the movement in the valve's normal position. If
no other debris or restrictions are found, reassemble the valve body and install in the transmission.
2. If the valve body has been contaminated with debris from another transmission component
failure, disassemble all bores for complete cleaning of
all valve body components. Keeping individual bore parts separated will make reassembly easier.
Use the following illustrations for positive identification and location of individual parts.
3. Using GM Brake Clean, or equivalent, in a safe and clean environment (clean aluminum pan),
clean the valve body and dry it with compressed air.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

Subject: Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add additional model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-08-51-007D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
This bulletin updates General Motor's position on refinishing aluminum wheels. GM does not
endorse any repairs that involve welding, bending, straightening or re-machining. Only cosmetic
refinishing of the wheel's coatings, using recommended procedures, is allowed.
Evaluating Damage
In evaluating damage, it is the GM Dealer's responsibility to inspect the wheel for corrosion,
scrapes, gouges, etc. The Dealer must insure that such damage is not deeper than what can be
sanded or polished off. The wheel must be inspected for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the
wheel. Any wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished. Wheels that have been
refinished by an outside company must be returned to the same vehicle. The Dealer must record
the wheel ID stamp or the cast date on the wheel in order to assure this requirement. Refer to
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later in this bulletin.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Recommendations
- Chrome-plated aluminum wheels Re-plating these wheels is not recommended.
- Polished aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them. If the
clearcoat is damaged, refinishing is possible. However, the required refinishing process cannot be
performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later
in this bulletin.
- Painted aluminum wheels These wheels are painted using a primer, color coat, and clearcoat
procedure. If the paint is damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original
coatings must be removed first. Media blasting is recommended. Refer to GM Aluminum
Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for the re-painting of this type of wheel.
- Bright, machined aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them.
In some cases, the recessed "pocket" areas of the wheel may be painted. Surface refinishing is
possible. The wheel must be totally stripped by media blasting or other suitable means. The wheel
should be resurfaced by using a sanding process rather than a machining process. This allows the
least amount of material to be removed.
Important Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the
dimensions and function of the wheel.
Painting is an option to re-clearcoating polished and bright machined aluminum wheels. Paint will
better mask any surface imperfections and is somewhat more durable than clearcoat alone. GM
recommends using Corsican SILVER WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look or Sparkle
SILVER WA9967 for a very bright look. As an option, the body color may also be used. When using
any of the painting options, it is recommended that all four wheels be refinished in order to maintain
color uniformity. Refer to GM Aluminum Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for specific procedures
and product recommendations.
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company
Important Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. Such refinished wheels
will be permanently marked by the refinisher and are warranted by the refinisher. Any process that
re-machines or otherwise re-manufactures the wheel should not be used.
A refinisher's responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the equivalent.
Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any kind is
allowed. The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process in order to
assure that the same wheel is returned. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the
wheel. Hand and/or lathe sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed.
Material removal, though, must be kept to a minimum. Re-machining of the wheel is not allowed.
Paint and/or clear coat must not be present on the following surfaces: the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel
and warrant the painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the
new vehicle warranty, whichever is

Product action may result in the permanent elimination of an odor and may be preferable to
customers with allergies who are sensitive to perfumes.
How to Use This Product
GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator may be sprayed on in a ready-to-use formula or used in steam
cleaners as an additive with carpet shampoo. This water-based, odorless product is safe for all
vehicle interiors. Do not wet or soak any interior surface that plain water would cause to
deteriorate, as this product will have the same effect. Also avoid letting this product come into
contact with vinegar or any acidic substance. Acid-based products will hamper the effectiveness of,
or render GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator inert.
Note:
Complete eight page treatment sheets are enclosed within each case of GM Vehicle Care Odor
Eliminator. These treatment instructions range from simple vehicle odor elimination to full step by
step procedures for odor removal from water leaks. If lost, contact 800-977-4145 to get a
replacement set faxed or e-mailed to your dealership.
Instructions and cautions are printed on the bottle, but additional help is available. If you encounter
a difficult to eliminate or reoccurring odor, you may call 1-800-955-8591 (in Canada,
1-800-977-4145) to obtain additional information and usage suggestions.
Important:
This product may effectively remove odors when directly contacting the odor source. It should be
used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures (in cases such as a water leak) to first eliminate the
root cause of the odor, and then the residual odor to permanently correct the vehicle condition.
Vehicle Waterleak Odor Elimination
STEP ONE:
Confirm that all water leaks have been repaired. Determine what areas of the vehicle were water
soaked or wet. Components with visible mold/mildew staining should be replaced. Isolate the odor
source inside the vehicle. Often an odor can be isolated to an area or component of the vehicle
interior by careful evaluation. Odor evaluation may need to be performed by multiple persons.
Another method of isolating an odor source is to remove and segregate interior trim and
components. Plastic sheeting or drop cloths can be used to confine seats, headliners, etc. to assist
in evaluation and diagnoses. If appropriate the vehicle and interior trim should be evaluated
separately to determine if the odor stays with the vehicle or the interior components. Odors that
stay with the vehicle may be isolated to insulating and sound deadening materials (i.e. water leak
at the windshield or standing water in the front foot well area caused mold/mildew to form on the
bulkhead or kick panel sound deadening pads. If the interior is removed the floor pan and
primed/painted surfaces should be treated with bleach/soap solution, rinsed with clean water and
dried. Interior surfaces should then be treated with GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product
before reinstalling carpet or reassembling.

Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.
1. Access and remove the seat bolts/nuts. 2. Adjust the seat rearward about halfway. Adjust the
seat recline full forward. 3. Tilt the seat backward to access the bottom of the seat. Prop the seat
up with a suitable tool if required.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 05-09-40-002D (Section 09 - Restraints).
The purpose of this bulletin is to explain when the safety belts are supposed to lock. There are
several different locking situations for both front and rear safety belts.
Overspool Lock
There is an unintentional locking condition that ALL safety belts from ALL manufacturers may
experience called "overspool lock". If the webbing snaps back to the stowed position rapidly
enough, the retractor will lock with the belt fully stowed. This is more likely to occur when
customers "help" the belt to retract. Without the weight of the latch plate and friction to slow the
retractive speed of the webbing, the higher than normal webbing retraction speed that occurs
engages the locking mechanism when a sudden stop occurs at the end of web travel. Since the
webbing is now fully loaded on the spool, the retractor cannot rewind itself further to release the
locking mechanism. When this happens, the occupant cannot extract the belt to wear it. DO NOT
replace the retractor for this condition until first attempting to disengage the locking mechanism by
following the recommendation listed below.
Recommendation
Pull hard on the locked webbing and then release. The hard pull extracts a small amount of
webbing from the retractor which, in turn, permits a small amount of retraction to occur when
released. This is all that is needed to disengage the locking mechanism. The safety belt will now
function properly.
Vehicle Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the vehicle under the following conditions:
- The vehicle changes speed or direction abruptly (the vehicle goes into rapid acceleration OR
rapid deceleration or there is aggressive cornering).
- It can also occur in a static condition when a vehicle is parked on a large slant (fore-aft or
side-to-side), such as streets in San Francisco, California.
- It may also occur over rough road conditions where the retractor mechanism is bounced into a
locked condition.
In all of these conditions, as long as tension is maintained on the webbing, the belt will stay locked.
When the tension is released, the belt retracts slightly, the lock bar disengages and the safety belt
should return to normal function. Please inform customers that may comment that "the belt locks
intermittently" that this is the design intent and the belt is functioning properly.
Web Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the extraction of webbing. When the webbing reels out at
an accelerated rate, it goes into lock mode and stays there until tension is again released. To
observe this condition, extract the webbing quickly. Customers may refer to this condition as
"intermittent lock-up" and encounter it when trying to put the belt on too quickly.
Automatic Locking (ALR)
When the webbing is pulled all the way out, it automatically converts the retractor into a cinch-down
mode (i.e. ALR). This is typically used to tightly secure a child seat to the vehicle. Some customers
may experience inadvertent activation of ALR mode if they happen to pull the belt all the way out to
the end of travel while they are putting the belt on. The ALR mode of operation is automatically
cancelled when the belt is unfastened and stowed (the belt returns to normal sensitive function).
Corvette only - This locking mechanism is also provided at the driver's position of the Corvette only,
as a unique feature. Corvette customers may find this feature appealing when they plan to operate
the vehicle in a "spirited" manner (such as driving in mountainous terrain). With the ALR active, the
operator is snugly cinched into the seat and kept firmly in place during high G-force driving
maneuvers.

Dealers should not install a cloth or vinyl roof on vehicles that have been ordered with the XM radio
option (RPO U2K) and/or OnStar(R) (RPO UE1). The performance of these systems may be
negatively impacted by the installation of the cloth/vinyl roof. Additionally, water leaks may result
from installing a cloth or vinyl roof on vehicles with roof-mounted antenna systems. Relocating the
antenna to another spot on the vehicle exterior, in order to install a cloth or vinyl roof, is not advised
either. The performance of the OnStar(R) and XM Radio antennas has been optimized for their
current locations. Relocating the antennas may result in a performance degradation.

Vehicle Odor Elimination
General Motors offers a product that may control or eliminate odors in the interior and luggage
compartment areas of GM vehicles. GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator is a non-toxic,
biodegradable odor remover. This odorless product has been shown to greatly reduce or remove
objectionable smells of mold and mildew resulting from vehicle water leaks (as well as customer
created odors, i.e. smoke). You may use GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator on fabrics, vinyl,
leather, carpet and sound deadening materials. It may also be induced into HVAC modules and
instrument panel ducts (for the control of non-bacterial related odors).
Important:
This product leaves no residual scent and should not be sold as or considered an air freshener.
Product action may result in the permanent elimination of an odor and may be preferable to
customers with allergies who are sensitive to perfumes.
How to Use This Product
GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator may be sprayed on in a ready-to-use formula or used in steam
cleaners as an additive with carpet shampoo. This water-based, odorless product is safe for all
vehicle interiors. Do not wet or soak any interior surface that plain water would cause to
deteriorate, as this product will have the same effect. Also avoid letting this product come into
contact with vinegar or any acidic substance. Acid-based products will hamper the effectiveness of,
or render GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator inert.
Note:
Complete eight page treatment sheets are enclosed within each case of GM Vehicle Care Odor
Eliminator. These treatment instructions range from simple vehicle odor elimination to full step by
step procedures for odor removal from water leaks. If lost, contact 800-977-4145 to get a
replacement set faxed or e-mailed to your dealership.
Instructions and cautions are printed on the bottle, but additional help is available. If you encounter
a difficult to eliminate or reoccurring odor, you may call 1-800-955-8591 (in Canada,
1-800-977-4145) to obtain additional information and usage suggestions.
Important:
This product may effectively remove odors when directly contacting the odor source. It should be
used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures (in cases such as a water leak) to first eliminate the
root cause of the odor, and then the residual odor to permanently correct the vehicle condition.
Vehicle Waterleak Odor Elimination
STEP ONE:
Confirm that all water leaks have been repaired. Determine what areas of the vehicle were water
soaked or wet. Components with visible mold/mildew staining should be replaced. Isolate the odor
source inside the vehicle. Often an odor can be isolated to an area or component of the vehicle
interior by careful evaluation. Odor evaluation may need to be performed by multiple persons.
Another method of isolating an odor source is to remove and segregate interior trim and
components. Plastic sheeting or drop cloths can be used to confine seats, headliners, etc. to assist
in evaluation and diagnoses. If appropriate the vehicle and interior trim should be evaluated
separately to determine if the odor stays with the vehicle or the interior components. Odors that
stay with the vehicle may be isolated to insulating and sound deadening materials (i.e. water leak
at the windshield or standing water in the front foot well area caused mold/mildew to form on the
bulkhead or kick panel sound deadening pads. If the interior is removed the floor pan and
primed/painted surfaces should be treated with bleach/soap solution, rinsed with clean water and
dried. Interior surfaces should then be treated with GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product
before reinstalling carpet or reassembling.

Drive Belt Chirping, Squeal, and Whine Diagnosis
Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Chirping, Squeal, and Whine Diagnosis
Drive Belt Chirping, Squeal, and Whine Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
* A chirping or squeal noise may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belts or the pulleys. It
may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belts in order to duplicate the
customers concern. If spraying water on the drive belt duplicates the symptom, cleaning the belt
pulleys may be the probable solution.
* If the noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making
sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. Generator failing are suggested items to
inspect.
* A chirping, squeal or whine noise may be caused by a loose or improper installation of a body or
suspension component. Other items of the vehicle may also cause the noise.
* The drive belts will not cause a whine noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise may not be
engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is not making
the noise do not proceed further with this table. 3. The noise may be an internal engine noise.
Removing the drive belts one at a time and operating the engine for a brief period will verify the
noise is related to the drive belt. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be
operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the
drive belts removed. 4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it
can be strings in the drive belt grooves from the accumulation of rubber dust. 6. Misalignment of
the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect
installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a
previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two
or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the
proper installation procedure for that pulley. 10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the
possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for
being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent
the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a
pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley. 14. This test is to verify that the
drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is not operating properly, proper
belt tension may not be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal
noise. 15. This test is to verify that the drive belt is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt
tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect length drive belt was installed, it may not be
routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive component in the wrong direction. 16.
Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward
or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley
grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive
component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley. 17. This test is to verify that the
pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known good vehicle compare the pulley sizes.
19. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

Some customers may comment that a "Park Assist Off" message is appearing on the Driver
Information center (DIC) at times.
There are several factors listed above that can cause this message to appear. A Tech 2 can be
used to access the latest entry into the Park Assist Module history buffer to help determine a
cause.
Engineering has received multiple inhibited Rear park Assist Modules through warranty parts return
with attached object stored in the latest history buffer. If a vehicle has a trailer hitch installed into
the trailer hitch receiver, it is possible for the rear park assist to be disabled. Once the trailer hitch is
removed, the message should go away. Other possible causes may be dirty sensors. Keep the
rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
Important:
Please note that any object that is installed in the receiver hitch, extending from the rear of the
vehicle, or blocking the sensors can disable the Parking Assist, resulting in the message "Park
Assist Off". Please remove the object or obstruction from the vehicle to re-enable the system. This
is normal operation of the system.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.
Page 8206
Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or
weeks.
Cause
Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat.
There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and
this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear
continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the
environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may
appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be
visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in

Condition
Some customers may comment that the front sunshade (sun visor) doesn't stay in position tightly
against the headliner when in the up position and clipped into the center mount.
Cause
The condition may be caused by the sunshade being over extended (forced) along the slide on rod
to the end of its travel. This over extension can cause the detent spring to be pulled off of the flat
on the slide on rod and can cause the detent function to be inoperative.
Correction
In many cases, the detent spring can be re-seated into the correct position. Use the following
procedure to correct the condition.
1. Position the sunshade in the forward position and engage the sunshade into the center clip.

results from the alteration or modification of a vehicle using non-GM approved parts or accessories.
Dealers should be especially cautious of accessory companies that claim the installation of their
product will not void the factory warranty. Many times these companies have even given direction
on how to quickly disassemble the accessory in an attempt to preclude the manufacturer from
finding out that is has been installed.
Any suspect repairs should be reviewed by the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM), and in Canada
by the Warranty Manager (WM) for appropriate repair direction. If it is decided that a goodwill repair
is to be made on the vehicle, even with the installation of such non-GM approved components, the
customer is to be made aware of General Motors position on this issue and is to sign the
appropriate goodwill documentation required by General Motors.
It is imperative for dealers to understand that by installing such devices, they are jeopardizing not
only the warranty coverage, but also the performance and reliability of the customer's vehicle.

Condition
Some customers may comment on an engine valve lifter tick noise that occurs after the engine has
been shut off for at least two hours. The tick noise may last from two seconds to ten minutes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- Aerated oil in the valve lifter body, resulting in the valve lifter being unable to purge the air quickly.
- A low engine oil level or incorrect oil viscosity.
- Dirty or contaminated oil.
- A low internal valve lifter oil reservoir level.
- Debris in the valve lifter.
- A high valve lifter leak down rate.
Correction
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate the cause of this valve lifter tick noise and normal oil pressure is
noted during the concern, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the engine oil condition and level. Refer to Owner Manual > Service and Appearance
Care > Checking Things Under the Hood >
Description and Operation > Engine Oil in SI.
‹› If the engine oil is more than one quart low, an incorrect oil viscosity is being used or if poor
quality/contamination is observed, change the oil
and filter.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation
Garage Door Opener Description and Operation
The garage door opener (GDO) is fixed and rolling code capable. Rolling code is a system that
allows the code that the customers receiver receives from the GDO to change every time the GDO
is used within operating range of the receiver. Rolling code programming requires the customer to
push a learn/program button on the GDO receiver at their home. This button is usually located on
the receiver unit under a cover (light cover) on one end of the unit. The customer must follow the
GDO manufacturers instructions to program/learn the receiver to accept the Universal Home
Remote System as an authorized opener for their unit . When the receiver and the GDO are initially
programmed together, a code is established and a new code is created for every new transmission.
The software in the receiver recognizes the GDO and accepts the new code.
The GDO is compatible with most, but not all types and brands of transmitters. If a problem should
occur with a compatibility conflict with a transmitter, refer to 1-866-572-2728.
The GDO is a transmitter operating between 288-399 MHz. The power and range of the transmitter
is limited to comply with laws governing the generation of radio frequency interference (RFI). The
transmitter is programmed by the user to accept the signal generated by the user's transmitters.
The GDO has 3 buttons that may be programmed for individual transmitter/receiver combinations
to control up to 3 GDOs, security gates, lighting systems, etc. Each button represents a transmitter
code section of the transmitter, which operates separately from any other button, and may be
considered a separate transmitter. Operation consists of simply pressing a button to activate the
corresponding transmitter.

acceptable for those previous vehicles. However, dexos 1(TM) is backward compatible and can be
used in those older vehicles.
In North America, starting with the 2011 model year, GM introduced dexos 1(TM) certified engine
oil as a factory fill and service fill for gasoline engines. The reasons for the new engine oil
specification are as follows:
- To meet environmental goals such as increasing fuel efficiency and reducing engine emissions.
- To promote long engine life.
- To minimize the number of engine oil changes in order to help meet the goal of lessening the
industry's overall dependence on crude oil.
dexos 1(TM) is a GM-developed engine oil specification that has been designed to provide the
following benefits:
- Further improve fuel economy, to meet future corporate average fuel economy (CAFE)
requirements and fuel economy retention by allowing the oil to maintain its fuel economy benefits
throughout the life of the oil.
- More robust formulations for added engine protection and aeration performance.

Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

Effective cleaning steps for fabric:
1. Remove any residue by lightly rubbing the surface with a clean towel. 2. Choose the appropriate
stain remover based on the stain type. 3. Spray and lightly brush the area with a clean, soft bristle
brush. 4. Gently blot up the stain. 5. On upholstery/carpet, the use of a fabric protector can help to
reduce or eliminate future staining.
Upholstery and Carpet Stains
When cleaning upholstery and carpet stains ONLY, the following cleaning chart will help you
determine which cleaner/formula works best on a particular stain. The chart lists many of the
common stains. Some complex stains may require the application of both stain removers, one after
the other, to remove both food-based oils and synthetic oils.
A soft bristle brush (P/N 88861425) should be used to safely work the cleaner into the leather grain
or material. This enables the dirt/stain to be completely removed from the material.
Leather Conditioner/Restorer
A Leather Conditioner/Restorer is also available. The restorer is safe for all vinyl and leather. It is a
water-based product and contains essential emollients to restore suppleness, conditions and adds
luster without adding gloss. The restorer will also provide protection against re-staining.

always replace the defroster tab (GM P/N 25916031) and the defroster electrical power connector
(P/N 12034110). For all other vehicles, reconnect the original defroster tab.
In most applications it is preferable to create a new solder connection to reattach a separated rear
defroster tab. If you take note of the steps below, it is possible to create a new solder joint that is
equal to, or stronger than, the original. The generic procedure below is not very time intensive, but
does include minor preparation work to create a good bonding surface. Be sure to follow each of
the steps, as combined they will produce the strongest bond possible. Please consider the
following before attempting the repair:
- Soldering introduces significant heat to the glass window of the vehicle. When performing the
re-connection of the tab, use only the heat required to do the job. Pre-heat the soldering iron and
have the solder in your other hand, ready to go, the moment you have enough heat to melt the
solder.
- If it is winter, bring the vehicle into the service garage and remove any snow from the back
window area. Allow time for the glass to warm to the temperature inside the building. Soldering
creates a "hot spot" in the glass. DO NOT solder on cold glass.
Caution Heating the glass excessively, or repeatedly without time to cool, may result in glass
breakage. ALWAYS wear safety glasses when performing this repair!
- You MUST use a silver-bearing solder to make the connection. DO NOT attempt this repair with
conventional tin/lead alloy solders. Silver bearing solder will adhere to the electrical buss bar,
making a strong and lasting repair.
- Protect surfaces under the area to be soldered. It is very easy to drip solder when performing this
repair. Placing a shop towel under the soldering area is sufficient protection.
Soldering Procedure
1. It is imperative to remove and replace the rear defroster electrical power connector by crimping a
new connector to the feed wire. The proper
connector P/N 12034110 can be found in the Packard Electrical Assortment, Tray 18, Position 5.
- Insert Delphi pick 12094430 to depress the locking tab on the terminal.
- Insert Delphi pick 12094429 to release the secondary lock tab.
Important DO NOT re-use the existing defroster tab on new-style full-size utility vehicles with
moveable glass.
2. Connect the electrical connector to the defroster tab. Fully engage the connector. An improperly
seated connector may cause excessive resistance
and impede the proper operation of the defroster. Add a small bead of solder to mate the electrical
connector tab to the defroster tab.

- Support the GM Oil Life System, thereby minimizing the replacement of engine oil, before its life
has been depleted.
- Reduce the duplication of requirements for a large number of internal GM engine oil
specifications.
International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
GF-5 Standard
In addition to GM dexos 1(TM), a new International Lubricants Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) standard called GF-5, was introduced in October 2010.
- There will be a corresponding API category, called: SN Resource Conserving. The current GF-4
standard was put in place in 2004 and will become obsolete in October 2011. Similar to dexos
1(TM), the GF-5 standard will use a new fuel economy test, Sequence VID, which demands a
statistically significant increase in fuel economy versus the Sequence VIB test that was used for
GF-4.
- It is expected that all dexos 1(TM) approved oils will be capable of meeting the GF-5 standard.
However, not all GF-5 engine oils will be capable of meeting the dexos 1(TM) specification.
- Like dexos(TM), the new ILSAC GF-5 standard will call for more sophisticated additives. The API
will begin licensing marketers during October 2010, to produce and distribute GF-5 certified
products, which are expected to include SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 oils.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Requirements Effect on Fuel Economy
Since CAFE standards were first introduced in 1974, the fuel economy of cars has more than
doubled, while the fuel economy of light trucks has increased by more than 50 percent. Proposed
CAFE standards call for a continuation of increased fuel economy in new cars and trucks. To meet
these future requirements, all aspects of vehicle operation are being looked at more critically than
ever before.
New technology being introduced in GM vehicles designed to increase vehicle efficiency and fuel
economy include direct injection, cam phasing, turbocharging and active fuel management (AFM).
The demands of these new technologies on engine oil also are taken into consideration when
determining new oil specifications. AFM for example can help to achieve improved fuel economy.
However alternately deactivating and activating the cylinders by not allowing the intake and
exhaust valves to open contributes to additional stress on the engine oil.
Another industry trend for meeting tough fuel economy mandates has been a shift toward lower
viscosity oils.
dexos 1(TM) will eventually be offered in several viscosity grades in accordance with engine needs:
SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30 and 5W-30.
Using the right viscosity grade oil is critical for proper engine performance. Always refer to the
Maintenance section of a vehicle Owner Manual for the proper viscosity grade for the engine being
serviced.
GM Oil Life System in Conjunction With dexos (TM) Supports Extended Oil Change Intervals
To help conserve oil while maintaining engine protection, many GM vehicles are equipped with the
GM Oil Life System. This system can provide oil change intervals that exceed the traditional 3,000
mile (4,830 km) recommendation.
The dexos (TM) specification, with its requirements for improved oil robustness, compliments the
GM Oil Life System by supporting extended oil change intervals over the lifetime of a vehicle.
If all GM customers with GM Oil Life System equipped vehicles would use the system as intended,
GM estimates that more than 100 million gallons of oil could be saved annually.

Concerns About Safety and Alterations to the Front Passenger Seat
Important ON A GM VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM, USE THE
SEAT COVERS AND OTHER SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT AS RELEASED BY GM FOR THAT
VEHICLE. DO NOT ALTER THE SEAT COVERS OR SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT. ANY
ALTERATIONS TO SEAT COVERS OR GM ACCESSORIES DEFEATS THE INTENDED DESIGN
OF THE SYSTEM. GM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY USE OF
SUCH IMPROPER SEAT ALTERATIONS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS INCURRED.
The front passenger seat in many GM vehicles is equipped with a passenger sensing system that
will turn off the right front passenger's frontal airbag under certain conditions, such as when an
infant or child seat is present. In some vehicles, the passenger sensing system will also turn off the
right front passenger's seat mounted side impact airbag. For the system to function properly,
sensors are used in the seat to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant. The passenger
sensing system may not operate properly if the original seat trim is replaced (1) by non-GM covers,
upholstery or trim, or (2) by GM covers, upholstery or trim designed for a different vehicle or (3) by
GM covers, upholstery or trim that has been altered by a trim shop, or (4) if any object, such as an
aftermarket seat heater or a comfort enhancing pad or device is installed under the seat fabric or
between the occupant and the seat fabric.
Aftermarket Seat Heaters, Custom Upholstery, and Comfort Enhancing Pads or Devices
Important ON A GM VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM, USE ONLY
SEAT COVERS AND OTHER SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT RELEASED AS GM
ACCESSORIES FOR THAT VEHICLE. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF SEAT COVERS OR
SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT, OR GM ACCESSORIES RELEASED FOR OTHER VEHICLE
APPLICATIONS. GM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY USE OF SUCH
IMPROPER SEAT ACCESSORIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS MADE
NECESSARY BY SUCH USE.
Many types of aftermarket accessories are available to customers, upfitting shops, and dealers.
Some of these devices sit on top of, or are Velcro(R) strapped to the seat while others such as seat
heaters are installed under the seat fabric. Additionally, seat covers made of leather or other
materials may have different padding thickness installed that could prevent the Passenger Sensing
System from functioning properly. Never alter the vehicle seats. Never add pads or other devices to
the seat cushion, as this may interfere with the operation of the Passenger Sensing System and
either prevent proper deployment of the passenger airbag or prevent proper suppression of the
passenger air bag.

7. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Attention:
This bulletin should be distributed and reviewed by the Service Manager and Service Advisors. A
copy of this bulletin may be given to your customer to assist in explaining the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter operation.
This bulletin provides information regarding any remote keyless entry/transmitter (key fob) that may
be inoperative intermittently or in which a particular button(s) does not work.
To prevent transmitter battery drain, the RKE transmitter will disable any button or buttons that are
depressed longer than 30 seconds. The disabled button or buttons will remain disabled until
another button that has not been disabled is pressed.
If a button or buttons on a transmitter are not functioning, or if a transmitter cannot be programmed
to a vehicle, press and release each and every button on the fob one at a time until you find one
that works then retest the other buttons. If all buttons are now working, the button(s) were disabled
and the transmitter is working as designed.
If the transmitter still fails to function properly, use the J-43241 tester and follow normal diagnostics
as shown in SI.

ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Hybrid Service Transmissions/Auxiliary Fluid Pump
New hybrid service transmissions include a 2010 model year transmission auxiliary fluid pump that
utilizes an updated connector that will not plug into the transmission auxiliary fluid pump control
module. This includes the following service transmission part numbers:
- 2008 2WD - P/N 24256371
- 2008 4WD - P/N 24256372
- 2009 2WD - P/N 24256375
- 2009 4WD - P/N 24256376
The 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pump, P/N 19207983, has a different connector that does not
match previous model year service transmissions. Internally, the 2010 auxiliary fluid pump is
identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid
pump control module utilizing a replacement service connector on the control module.
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump service part will be replaced by the 2010 version
and will be required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. Service replacement for these
vehicles will also require a replacement service connector to interface with a 2008-2009
transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module.
Transmission Auxiliary Fluid Pump Control Module
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module service part will be replaced by
the 2010 version and is required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. The 2010 transmission
auxiliary fluid pump control module, P/N 29546636, includes different connectors that do not match
previous model year transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and engine wiring harnesses. Internally, the
2010 auxiliary fluid pump control module is identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with
a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness utilizing replacement
service connectors on the transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness.
Instructions
Follow the tables below when servicing 2008 and 2009 model year vehicles with the above hybrid
service transmissions, 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and 2010 transmission auxiliary
fluid pump control modules.
Refer to Component Connector End Views, Hybrid Controls Schematics and Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves in SI for additional information on these connectors, circuits and use of the
splice sleeves included with the service connectors listed below.
Important The connectors listed are standard "pigtail" type splice connectors with 406 mm (16 in)
leads. When installing, cut the pigtail leads back to a length just long enough to install the splice
connectors. When cutting off the original connector, cut the harness just behind the connector
body. Performing these steps will insure the harness remains as close as possible to the original
length. It is especially important to not cut beyond the sealed portion of the auxiliary fluid pump
harness.

2. Inspect the caliper piston dust boot seal (2) for cracks, tears, cuts, deterioration and/or improper
seating in the caliper body. If any of these
conditions are present, the brake caliper requires overhaul or replacement.
3. Inspect for brake fluid leakage around the caliper piston dust boot seal (2) and on the disc brake
pads. If there is any evidence of brake fluid
leakage, the brake caliper requires overhaul or replacement.
4. Inspect for smooth and complete travel of the caliper pistons into the caliper bores:
The movement of the caliper pistons into the caliper bores should be smooth and even. If the
caliper piston is frozen or difficult to bottom, the caliper requires overhaul or replacement.
* For single piston caliper applications, insert a discarded inner brake pad (2) or block of wood in
front of the piston. Using a large C-clamp (1) installed over the body of the caliper (3) and against
the brake pad or block of wood, slowly bottom the piston in the bore.
* For dual piston caliper applications, insert a discarded inner brake pad (2) or block of wood in
front of the pistons. Using 2 large C-clamps (1) installed over the body of the caliper (3) and against
the brake pad or block of wood, slowly bottom the pistons evenly into the bores.

Bulletin Number 07-06-03-009A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Voltmeter Fluctuation Condition
Some customers may comment that the voltmeter is fluctuating between 12 and 14 volts on their
full size pickup or utility vehicle. Starting with the 2005 model year, light duty full size pickups and
utilities are equipped with a Regulated Voltage Control (RVC) system. This system reduces the
targeted output of the generator to 12.6-13.1 volts when in "Fuel Economy Mode" to improve fuel
economy. The generator may exit "Fuel Economy Mode" if additional voltage is required. This will
cause the voltmeter to fluctuate between 12 and 14 volts as opposed to non-regulated systems that
usually maintain a more consistent reading of 14 volts. This fluctuation with the RVC system is
normal system operation and NO repairs should be attempted.
Camper/Trailer Battery Charging Concerns
Some customers may comment that when towing or hauling a camper/trailer, the auxiliary battery
for the camper/trailer will not stay charged. In most cases, this concern is blamed on the new RVC
system. While the RVC system does reduce the generator's targeted output voltage to 12.6-13.1
volts when in "Fuel Economy Mode", this feature is bypassed if the tow/haul feature is enabled.
With the tow/haul feature enabled, the RVC system will stay in "Charge Mode" and the targeted
generator output voltage will be 13.9-15.5 volts, depending on the battery state of charge and the
estimated battery temperature. To keep the generator in the "Charge Mode", use either of the
following two methods.
- The first method is to use the tow/haul mode when towing or hauling a camper or trailer.
- The second method is to turn on the headlights, which will increase the generator's targeted
output voltage to 13.9-14.5 volts.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.

Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in
removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to
installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper
readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY.
Notice
Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or
drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to
clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light
coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel
pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub.
Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage
Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse.
You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not
retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any
component suspected of damage.
Tip
Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged
BEFORE tightening the nut.
Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side
of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation.
Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque
Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid
additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown
for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in
order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off
center resulting in vibration.

Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .
Page 8318
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
Page 18857
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Note
Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or
provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and
coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)

GM UPPER ENGINE AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER is the only injector cleaning agent
approved for use with General Motors fuel system components. Other injector cleaners may cause
damage to plastics, plated metals or bearings. General Motors has completed extensive laboratory
testing of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, and can assure its compatibility with
General Motors fuel system components, as long as the cleaning procedure is followed correctly.
Injector Cleaning Procedure
The following tools, or their equivalent, are required:
- CH-47976 Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT)
- J 35800-A Fuel Injector Cleaner
- J 37287 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter
- J 42964 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter
- J 42873 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter
- * One bottle of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, P/N 88861802 (in Canada, P/N
88861804)
- * One bottle of GM Fuel System Treatment Plus, P/N 88861011 (in Canada, P/N 88861012)
Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT- CH-47976)
Some dealers may not have an Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT- CH-47976). Dealers can contact
to order an AFIT- CH-47976. Dealers still can test the fuel injectors without an AFIT. Refer to Fuel
Injector Diagnosis (w/ J 39021 or Tech 2(R)) in SI.
Important
As mentioned in the AFIT User Guide, vehicles that are not listed in the AFIT menu can still be
tested with the AFIT. Depending on the model, it may be possible to enter the previous model year
and proceed with testing using the DLC connection. If this is not possible on the model that you are
working on, it will be necessary to use the direct connection method outlined in the AFIT User
Guide (See Pages 17-31).
General Motors recommends that the Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT) be used in testing fuel
injectors. If the SI diagnostics do not isolate a cause for this concern, use the Active Fuel Injector
Tester (AFIT - CH-47976) to perform an "Injector Test" as outlined in the AFIT User Guide.
The AFIT "Injector Test" measures the flow characteristics of all fuel injectors, which is more
precise when compared with the standard Tech 2(R) fuel injector balance test. As a result, the
AFIT is more likely to isolate the cause of a P1174 DTC (for example: if it is being caused by a fuel
injector concern).
The CH-47976 (Active Fuel Injector Tester - AFIT) can also be used to measure fuel pressure and
fuel system leak down. Also, as mentioned in the P1174 SI diagnosis, if the misfire current
counters or misfire graph indicate any misfires, it may be an indicator of the cylinder that is causing
the concern. Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis (w/CH-47976) in SI for additional instructions.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to inform you that due to improvements in vehicle brake
corner and wheel design, assembly plant build processes and dealership required tools like the
On-Car Lathe, measuring for Lateral Run Out (LRO) is no longer a required step when performing
base brake service. Due to this change, you are no longer required to enter the LRO measurement
on the repair order or in the warranty system failure code section. The bulletin information below
and the base brake labor operations have been updated accordingly. Due to this change it is more
important than ever to properly maintain your brake lathe (per the Brake Lathe Calibration
Procedure in this bulletin). Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-05-22-002K (Section 05 Brakes).
For your convenience, this bulletin updates and centralizes all GM's Standard Brake Service
Procedures and Policy Guidelines for brake rotor and brake pad service and wear. For additional
information, the Service Technical College lists a complete index of available Brake courses. This
information can be accessed at www.gmtraining.com > resources > training materials > brakes
courseware index. In Canada, refer to Service Know How course 55040.00V and Hydraulic Brake
Certification program 15003.16H.
Important
PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING YOUR
NEXT GM BRAKE SERVICE.
The following four (4) key steps are a summary of this bulletin and are REQUIRED in completing a
successful brake service.
1. Measure and Document Pre-Service Rotor Thickness* (REQUIRED on Repair Order) determine rotor clean-up/refinish/replace
2. Properly clean ALL brake corner mating surfaces - hub, rotor and wheel
3. Properly clean-up/refinish rotor, measure and document post-service rotor thickness
(REQUIRED on Repair Order)
Important If it is determined the rotor needs to be refinished, verify lathe equipment is properly
calibrated.
4. Properly reassemble the brake corner using proper torque tools, torque specification and torque
sequence - wheel lug nuts.
* The bulletin refers to Minimum Thickness specification as the minimum allowable thickness after
refinish. Always refer to SI to verify the spec stamped on the rotor is the minimum thickness spec
after refinish and not the discard spec.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.

If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.

Special Tools
J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

ATTENTION
The information found in this bulletin is to be used as a dealership service consultant procedures
for customers coming into the service lane with an illuminated "low tire light" or comments on a
check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message.
Maintaining proper tire pressures is an Owner's Maintenance item and is not covered under
warranty.
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update additional bulletin reference
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-03-16-002 (Section 03 -- Suspension).
Customer Concerns and Confusion with the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
The following procedure should be used by dealership service consultants when a customer comes
into the service drive with a "low tire light" on or comments on a check tire pressure/low tire
pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message. The service consultant should
perform the following steps:
Procedure
Turn the key to ON, without starting the engine.
^ If the low tire light comes on and stays on solid with a check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add
air to tire message (on vehicles equipped with DIC),
advise the customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Properly adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels and driving the vehicle will turn
the light off (refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
^ If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light blinks for one minute then stays on solid with a service
tire monitor system message (on vehicles equipped
with DIC):
- A TPM system problem exists. The vehicle should be written up accordingly and sent to your
service department for further DTC diagnosis and service.
- If dashes (--) are displayed in only one or two of the tire pressure readouts, it is likely caused by a
previous TPM system relearn that was performed incorrectly due to interference from another
vehicle's TPM system during the relearn process (refer to the Important statement later in this
bulletin regarding TPM relearn with a Tech 2(R)).
- If dashes (--) are displayed in all four of the tire pressure readouts, there is a system problem.
Follow the appropriate SI service procedures.
^ If a customer indicates the low tire light comes on for a few minutes when the vehicle is started,
then goes off after driving a while, advise the
customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Most likely, air pressure in one or more of the tires is low enough to turn the light on when tires
are cold. After driving for a while, tires will heat

Do not use cleaning solutions that contain hydrofluoric, oxalic and most other acids on chrome
wheels (or any wheels).
If the customer is unsure of the chemical make-up of a particular wheel cleaner, it should be
avoided.
For wheels showing signs of milky staining from acidic cleaners, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Warranty of Stained Chrome Wheels
Stained wheels are not warrantable. Most acid based cleaners will permanently stain chrome
wheels. Follow-up with dealers has confirmed that such cleaners were used on wheels that were
returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC). Any stained wheels received by the WPC will be
charged back to the dealership. To assist the customer, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Pitting or Spotted Appearance of Chrome Wheels Figure 2
A second type or staining or finish disturbance may result from road chemicals, such as calcium
chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads. The staining will look like small pitting (refer to
Figure 2). This staining will usually be on the leading edges of each wheel spoke, but may be
uniformly distributed. If a vehicle must be operated under such conditions, the chrome wheels
should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed as soon as conveniently
possible.
Important Road chemicals, such as calcium chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads, can
also stain chrome wheels. The staining will look like small pitting. This staining will usually be on
the leading edges of each wheel spoke. This is explained by the vehicle traveling in the forward
direction while being splashed by the road chemical. If a vehicle must be operated under such
conditions, the chrome wheels should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed
as soon as conveniently possible.
Warranty of Pitted or Spotted Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of road chemicals may be replaced one time.
Damage resulting from contact with these applied road chemicals is corrosive to the wheels finish
and may cause damage if the wheels are not kept clean.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean if they are operating the vehicle in an area that
applies calcium chloride or other dust controlling chemicals! "GM of Canada" dealers require prior
approval by the District Manager - Customer Care and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
"Stardust" Corrosion of Chrome Wheels Figure 3
A third type of finish disturbance results from prolonged exposure to brake dust and resultant
penetration of brake dust through the chrome. As brakes are applied hot particles of brake material
are thrown off and tend to be forced through the leading edge of the wheel spoke windows by
airflow. These

Dear General Motors Customer:
We have learned that your 2008-09 Chevrolet Tahoe or GMC Yukon; 2009 Cadillac Escalade,
Chevrolet Silverado, or GMC Sierra vehicle, equipped a Two-Mode Hybrid Transmission may have
a condition in which excessive pressure on the transmission clutch could cause a fracture. This
may result in an improper transmission shift when shifting from third to fourth gear. It may also
cause the engine to run at a higher RPM, reduce fuel economy, and illuminate the Service Engine
Soon light.
Your satisfaction with your Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, or GMC Yukon is very important to
us, so we are announcing a program to prevent this condition.
What We Will Do: Your GM dealer will reprogram the transmission controller to reduce the clutch
pressure and possibly replace the control solenoid valve. This service will be performed for you at
no charge until October 31, 2011.
What You Should Do: To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your
dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, just contact your dealer or the appropriate
Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
Courtesy Transportation: If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer
may provide you with shuttle service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your
vehicle is at the dealership for this repair. Please refer to your Owner's Manual and your dealer for
details on Courtesy Transportation.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern that this situation may cause you. We want you
to know that we will do our best, throughout your ownership experience, to ensure that your GM
vehicle provides you many miles of enjoyable driving.

* Excessive corrosion/rust and/or pitting
* Cracks and/or heat spots
* Excessive blueing discoloration
* Scoring of the brake drum surface (in excess of the maximum allowable specification)
* Radial runout in excess of the maximum allowable specification
3. Inspect each of the brake drums and determine if the brake drums can be refinished and remain
within the maximum allowable diameter after
refinish specification:
1. With the tire and wheel assemblies removed, measure the diameter of each of the brake drums.
Refer to Brake Drum Diameter Measurement (
See: Testing and Inspection/Brake Drum Diameter Measurement) .
2. Inspect each of the brake drums for excessive surface wear and/or radial runout. Refer to Brake
Drum Surface and Wear Inspection (See:

13. If at any time the brake drum exceeds the maximum allowable diameter after refinish
specification, the brake drum must be replaced. 14. After refinishing the brake drum, use the
following procedure in order to obtain the desired non-directional finish:
1. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional
finish 2. Using moderate pressure, apply the non-directional finish:
* If the lathe is equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with 120 grit aluminum
oxide sandpaper.
* If the lathe is not equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with a sanding
block and 150 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper.
3. After applying a non-directional finish, clean the friction surface of the brake drum with denatured
alcohol or an equivalent brake cleaner and
wipe the friction surface using a clean shop towel to remove metal particles remaining from

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the repair in the Customer Enthusiasm section
and update the Parts Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-08-58-001D
(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on hearing excessive wind noise coming from the rear interior of
the vehicle.
Cause #1
This condition may be caused by a void in the body filler within the C-pillar.
Cause #2
This condition may be caused by the body rear panel acoustic insulator that is mounted behind the
rear seat. There is an access flap (1) in this panel that could cause excessive noise if the flap is not
fully seated/closed into the rest of the insulator material.
Also, starting in 2010, a new insulator was installed that may allow higher wind/road or other
acoustic noise that may be objectionable for some customers. Noise penetration into the cab can
be higher than a similarly equipped 2009, or earlier, model. As shown in the graphic above, note
that the service part insulator (1) is noticeably thicker than the original 2010 part (2).
Correction #1
Note
This repair is specific to 2007-2010 model years.

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

Rail dust comes from tiny iron particles produced from the friction between train wheels and the
tracks and gets deposited on the vehicle surfaces. Iron dust can get deposited on the surface if the
vehicle is stored near any operation producing iron dust such as an iron ore yard. Either material
can lay on top of, or become embedded in, the paint surface.
Correction
Because the severity of the condition varies, proper diagnosis of the damage is critical to the
success of repairs. Diagnosis should be performed on horizontal surfaces (hood, roof, deck lid, pick
up box, etc.) after the vehicle has been properly cleaned. There are two types of repair materials
recommended to repair rail dust or iron dust:
1. GEL TYPE OXALIC ACID:
- Has the characteristics of the liquid type oxalic acid but stays where you put it because of its gel
consistency.
2. CLAY TYPE NON-ACID BASED:
- Requires surface lubricant during use. - Has different grades available.
Caution
Rail dust remover (Oxalic Acid) is an acidic substance containing chemicals that will break down
the iron particles embedded in the finish. When working with rail dust remover, use the necessary
safety equipment, including gloves and goggles. Follow the chemical manufacturer's directions
closely because it may require special handling and disposal.
If, upon inspection, some particles are still present, the various chemical manufacturer's processes
can be repeated.
After the removal process, small pits may remain in the clearcoat and can be corrected, in most
cases, with a finesse/polish operation.
Procedure
1. Move the vehicle to a cool shaded area and make sure that the vehicle surfaces are cool during
the removal process. DO NOT PERFORM THE
REMOVAL PROCESS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR ON A VEHICLE WITH HOT OR WARM BODY
PANELS.
2. Wash the vehicle with soap and water. Dry it immediately and clean the affected areas with a
wax and grease remover. 3. Perform the removal process according to the chemical
manufacturer's directions.
Once the damage has been repaired, the final step involves a polishing process.

In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.
1. Access and remove the seat bolts/nuts. 2. Adjust the seat rearward about halfway. Adjust the
seat recline full forward. 3. Tilt the seat backward to access the bottom of the seat. Prop the seat
up with a suitable tool if required.

* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.
* FCI connectors may have the FCI logo on their connectors. The logo is the letters FCI with an "A"
above it.

- Support the GM Oil Life System, thereby minimizing the replacement of engine oil, before its life
has been depleted.
- Reduce the duplication of requirements for a large number of internal GM engine oil
specifications.
International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
GF-5 Standard
In addition to GM dexos 1(TM), a new International Lubricants Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) standard called GF-5, was introduced in October 2010.
- There will be a corresponding API category, called: SN Resource Conserving. The current GF-4
standard was put in place in 2004 and will become obsolete in October 2011. Similar to dexos
1(TM), the GF-5 standard will use a new fuel economy test, Sequence VID, which demands a
statistically significant increase in fuel economy versus the Sequence VIB test that was used for
GF-4.
- It is expected that all dexos 1(TM) approved oils will be capable of meeting the GF-5 standard.
However, not all GF-5 engine oils will be capable of meeting the dexos 1(TM) specification.
- Like dexos(TM), the new ILSAC GF-5 standard will call for more sophisticated additives. The API
will begin licensing marketers during October 2010, to produce and distribute GF-5 certified
products, which are expected to include SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 oils.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Requirements Effect on Fuel Economy
Since CAFE standards were first introduced in 1974, the fuel economy of cars has more than
doubled, while the fuel economy of light trucks has increased by more than 50 percent. Proposed
CAFE standards call for a continuation of increased fuel economy in new cars and trucks. To meet
these future requirements, all aspects of vehicle operation are being looked at more critically than
ever before.
New technology being introduced in GM vehicles designed to increase vehicle efficiency and fuel
economy include direct injection, cam phasing, turbocharging and active fuel management (AFM).
The demands of these new technologies on engine oil also are taken into consideration when
determining new oil specifications. AFM for example can help to achieve improved fuel economy.
However alternately deactivating and activating the cylinders by not allowing the intake and
exhaust valves to open contributes to additional stress on the engine oil.
Another industry trend for meeting tough fuel economy mandates has been a shift toward lower
viscosity oils.
dexos 1(TM) will eventually be offered in several viscosity grades in accordance with engine needs:
SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30 and 5W-30.
Using the right viscosity grade oil is critical for proper engine performance. Always refer to the
Maintenance section of a vehicle Owner Manual for the proper viscosity grade for the engine being
serviced.
GM Oil Life System in Conjunction With dexos (TM) Supports Extended Oil Change Intervals
To help conserve oil while maintaining engine protection, many GM vehicles are equipped with the
GM Oil Life System. This system can provide oil change intervals that exceed the traditional 3,000
mile (4,830 km) recommendation.
The dexos (TM) specification, with its requirements for improved oil robustness, compliments the
GM Oil Life System by supporting extended oil change intervals over the lifetime of a vehicle.
If all GM customers with GM Oil Life System equipped vehicles would use the system as intended,
GM estimates that more than 100 million gallons of oil could be saved annually.

Fuel Pressure: Service Precautions
Relieving Fuel Pressure Warning
Warning
Remove the fuel tank cap and relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing the fuel system in
order to reduce the risk of personal injury. After you relieve the fuel system pressure, a small
amount of fuel may be released when servicing the fuel lines, the fuel injection pump, or the
connections. In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, cover the fuel system components with a
shop towel before disconnection. This will catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the towel in an
approved container when the disconnection is complete.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and add information about the
proper transmission flush procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-01-029D
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
An Overview of Proper Vehicle Service
General Motors is aware that some companies are marketing tools and equipment to support a
subsystem flushing procedures. These dedicated machines are in addition to many engine oil,
cooling system, fuel system, A/C, transmission flush and steering system additives available to the
consumer. GM Vehicles under normal usage do not require any additional procedures or additives
beyond what is advised under the former Vehicle Maintenance Schedules or the current Simplified
Maintenance Schedules. Do not confuse machines available from Kent-Moore/SPX that are
designed to aid and accelerate the process of fluid changing with these flushing machines.
Engine Crankcase Flushing
General Motors Corporation does not endorse or recommend engine crankcase flushing for any of
its gasoline engines. Analysis of some of the aftermarket materials used for crankcase flushing
indicate incompatibility with GM engine components and the potential for damage to some engine
seals and bearings. Damage to engine components resulting from crankcase flushing IS NOT
COVERED under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty.
GM Authorized Service Information: Detailed, Descriptive, and Complete
If a specific model vehicle or powertrain need is identified, GM will issue an Authorized Service
Document containing a procedure and, if required, provide, make available, or require the specific
use of a machine, tool or chemical to accomplish proper vehicle servicing. An example of this is
fuel injector cleaning. Due to variation in fuel quality in different areas of the country, GM has
recognized the need for fuel injector cleaning methods on some engines, though under normal
circumstances, this service is not part of the maintenance requirements.
GM has published several gasoline fuel injector cleaning bulletins that fully outline the methods to
be used in conjunction with GM Part Numbered solutions to accomplish proper and safe cleaning
of the fuel injectors with preventative maintenance suggestions to maintain optimum performance.
You may refer to Corporate Bulletin Numbers 03-06-04-030 and 04-06-04-051 for additional
information on this subject.
Subsystem Flushing
Flushing of A/C lines, radiators, transmission coolers, and power steering systems are recognized
practices to be performed after catastrophic failures or extreme corrosion when encountered in
radiators. For acceptable A/C flushing concerns, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 01-01-38-006.
This practice is NOT required or recommended for normal service operations.
The use of external transmission fluid exchange or flush machines is NOT recommended for the
automatic or manual transmission. Use of external machines to replace the fluid may affect the
operation or durability of the transmission. Transmission fluid should only be replaced by draining
and refilling following directions in SI. Refer to Automatic/Manual Transmission Fluid and Filter
Replacement.
Approved Transmission Flushing Tool (Transmission Cooler Only)
The Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Tool is recommended for GM
vehicles. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Flushing and Flow Test in SI using the J 45096.
Service Is Important to You and Your Customer
General Motors takes great pride in offering our dealerships and customers high quality vehicles
that require extremely low maintenance over the life of the vehicle. This low cost of ownership

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
- An intermittent no crank/no start
- Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination
- Intermittent service lamp illumination
- Intermittent service message(s) being displayed
The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a buildup of nonconductive insulating oxidized debris known as
fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector.
This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
- Vibration
- Thermal cycling
- Poor connection/terminal retention
- Micro motion
- A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 09-04-21-003D
Date: January 14, 2011
Subject: Clunk Noise at Stop or from Launch (Clean/Lubricate Rear Propshaft Slip Yoke Splines)
Models:
2007-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series 2008-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe
1500 Series 2007-2009 GMC Sierra 1500 Series 2008-2009 GMC Yukon, Yukon XL 1500 Series
Equipped with 4WD (RPO NQG, NQH)
Attention:
This bulletin contains a procedure to clean/lubricate the rear propshaft slip yoke splines and
replace, if necessary. Check the history on this vehicle. If the lubrication procedure has been
performed previously, then continue on and replace the transfer case rear output shaft.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the warranty statement. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 09-04-21-003C (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a bump feel or clunk noise at a stop or on launch. Customers
may also comment that the bump feel or clunk is noticed after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop and that it feels as if the vehicle was bumped from behind.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the rear propshaft slip yoke and the
transfer case rear output shaft splines. Braking to a complete stop can force the propshaft slip yoke
forward into the transfer case while the vehicle rebounds slightly backward after stopping its
momentum.
Correction
Note
Do not use grease for lubrication of the slip yoke splines on 4WD vehicles. The output shaft in a
4WD transfer case does not have a grease retainer to keep the grease from migrating into the
transfer case and mixing with the fluid inside. Grease is not compatible with the automatic
transmission fluid (ATF) used in the transfer case and can cause damage if mixed.
Note
The clunk noise may also be due to fuel movement in the fuel tank when not completely full. If the
condition is eliminated after filling the fuel tank, the noise is isolated to the fuel movement in the
tank. Please make no repair attempts, as this noise is considered an operating characteristic.
Verify the customer's concern.
Clean/Lubricate Rear PropShaft Slip Yoke Splines
1. Remove the rear drive shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect
the rear propshaft slip yoke splines.
Note Protect the transfer case rear seal from Brake Clean.
3. Clean the rear propshaft slip yoke splines with Brake Clean or equivalent and a shop towel. 4.
Assure that the splines are free of rust or other foreign material. 5. Lubricate the spline with
Automatic Transmission Fluid, P/N 88861003 (in Canada, 19264717). 6. Reinstall the rear drive
shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 7. Road test the vehicle and verify
that the noise is gone. 8. If the vehicle has a repeat concern after lubricating the slip yoke splines,
replace the rear output shaft.

Style), Sierra Denali, Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali, Yukon Denali XL
Condition
Some customers may comment that the overhead dome lamp and/or reading lamp is inoperative
with the push button switch(es), even though the lamp still operates when the doors are opened.
Correction
The dome and/or reading lamp switch is now available for service as a separate part. The lamp
switch was formerly available as part of the entire dome lamp housing or the roof console
assembly. DO NOT replace the entire overhead dome lamp assembly or roof console if the lamp
switch is required.
Replace the lamp switch(es) using the steps below.
1. Remove the lamp lens by using a plastic flat-bladed tool to pry down on the right side of the lamp
lens.
2. Remove the push button(s) (1) from the inoperative lamp switch(es).
3. Remove the dome lamp housing and/or roof console assembly. Refer to Dome Lamp
Replacement and/or Roof Console Replacement in SI.
4. Slide the lamp switch(es) (1) away from the three electrical contact tabs (2) located on the back
of the housing.
5. Remove the old switch(es) from the back side of the housing.
6. Install the new switch(es) through the back side of the housing.

4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward.
Note
Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it.
5. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing
down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA
out of the connector.
Note
Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-21 tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool
may break.
6. Insert the J 38125-21 tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the
connector. See the release tool cross reference in
the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
7. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

with Navigation Radios
Some customers may comment on intermittent or no Global Positioning System (GPS) signal
reception on the Navigation radio. The GPS signal reception icon on the map screen may have a
red line through it.
This condition may be caused by aftermarket electronic devices such as radar detectors, cell
phones, and MP3 players that may interfere with the GPS signal reception. Aftermarket window
tinting or clear UV film applied to the windshield may also reduce the GPS signal reception and
cause the Navigation radio to function incorrectly.
Recommendations
Educate the customer on the GPS antenna location and the need to keep electronic devices away
from it. The GPS antenna is located in the upper center of the Instrument Panel. Instruct the
customer to move electronic devices away from the GPS antenna. It may also be necessary to
remove aftermarket films and tinting from the windshield.
Do not replace a Navigation radio that seems to have poor GPS signal reception without
considering these possible causes of the concern. Refer to the No Global Positioning System
(GPS) Reception diagnostic procedure in SI for more information.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.

BRAKE ROTOR CLEAN-UP PROCEDURE
Clean-up the rotors on an approved, well-maintained brake lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces. Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is
clean and free of debris or burrs. For more information see the "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure"
section in this bulletin.
1. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake
pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools into the
rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn.
2. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
3. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same procedure. If
zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
4. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the
zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
5. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit sandpaper
to obtain a non-directional finish.
Important Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that
equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a
floating caliper.
Important In many of these instances, such a minimal amount of material is removed from the rotor
that customer satisfaction is not a concern for future brake services. This procedure is intended to
"Clean-up" the rotor surface and should be conveyed to the customer as such - not as "cut",
"refinish" or "machine", which tends to be terms understood as a substantial reduction of rotor
material/life. If the brake lathe equipment being used is not capable of removing minor amounts of
material while holding tolerances, further lathe maintenance, repair, updates or equipment
replacement may be necessary.
Brake Noise
BRAKE NOISE
Some brake noise is normal and differences in loading, type of driving, or driving style can make a
difference in brake wear on the same make and model. Depending on weather conditions, driving
patterns and the local environment, brake noise may become more or less apparent. Verify all
metal-to-metal contact areas between pads, pad guides, caliper and knuckles are clean and
lubricated with a thin layer of high temperature silicone grease. Brake noise is caused by a
"slip-stick" vibration of brake components. While intermittent brake noise may be normal,
performing 3 to 4 aggressive stops may temporarily reduce or eliminate most brake squeal. If the
noise persists and is consistently occurring, a brake dampening compound may be applied to the
back of each pad. This allows parts to slide freely and not vibrate when moving relative to each
other. Use Silicone Brake Lubricant, ACDelco P/N 88862181 (Canadian P/N 88862496) or
equivalent.
The following noises are characteristics of all braking systems and are unavoidable. They may not
indicate improper operation of the brake system.
Squeak/Squeal Noise:
- Occurs with front semi-metallic brake pads at medium speeds when light to medium pressure is
applied to the brake pedal.
- Occasionally a noise may occur on rear brakes during the first few stops or with cold brakes
and/or high humidity.
Grinding Noise:
- Common to rear brakes and some front disc brakes during initial stops after the vehicle has been
parked overnight.
- Caused by corrosion on the metal surfaces during vehicle non-use. Usually disappears after a few
stops.
Groan Noise:
A groan type noise may be heard when stopping quickly or moving forward slowly from a complete
stop. This is normal. On vehicles equipped with ABS, a groan or moan type noise during hard
braking applications or loose gravel, wet or icy road conditions is a normal function of the ABS
activation.

Condition
Note
For the model year vehicles mentioned above, the "Directions and Connections" service package
will allow the driver to request directions from OnStar(R).
Vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) and a navigation radio may experience intermittent failure to
download directions to the navigation radio. Customers will call OnStar(R) for directions, OnStar(R)
will download the destination to the vehicle and the customer will hear "Your destination is being
sent to your vehicle. When safe and appropriate, press the Go button and follow instructions on
your navigation screen to begin your route." However, the customer may not see the Go button, or
the Go button on the navigation screen may be unresponsive, and therefore unable to be pressed
in order to start the directions.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- The navigation disc is not inserted in the radio. Some radios may display a message that states
that the map disc must be inserted for destination download.
- An OnStar(R) (VCIM) module software anomaly. The OnStar(R) destination download does not
complete communicating to the navigation radio within a certain time frame.
- A navigation radio software anomaly. This applies to 2008-2009 CTS and CTS-V vehicles with
RPO UAV.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the navigation radio for any of these conditions.
- If the navigation disc is not installed, insert the navigation disc and test the operation of the
system.
- For 2008-2009 CTS and CTS-V vehicles with RPO UAV, update the navigation radio software.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-08-44-019A.
- For all other vehicles, an updated OnStar(R) VCIM is now available. Replace the OnStar(R)
VCIM. Refer to OnStar(R) Module VCIM Replacement in SI.
Parts Information
DO NOT OBTAIN PARTS FROM GMSPO. Contact an authorized Electronic Service Center for
replacement.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

- Brake rotor discard thickness 28.50 mm (1.122 in)
5. If the lowest thickness measurement of the brake rotor is above the minimum allowable
thickness after refinishing specification, the rotor may be
able to be refinished, depending upon surface and wear conditions which may be present.
6. If the lowest thickness measurement of the brake rotor is at or below the minimum allowable
thickness after refinishing specification, the rotor may
not be refinished.
7. If the lowest thickness measurement of the brake rotor is at or below the discard thickness
specification, the rotor requires replacement.
Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement
Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See:
Service Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Brake Dust Warning) .
Note
Any disc brake rotor that exhibits thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level
must be refinished or replaced. Thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level can
cause brake pulsation.
1. If the inboard friction surface of the brake rotor is not accessible, reposition and support the
caliper with the brake pads. Refer to Front Disc Brake
Pads Replacement (JD9, JF3, JF7) (See: Brake Pad/Service and Repair/Front Disc Brake Pads
Replacement (JD9, JF3, JF7))Front Disc Brake Pads Replacement (JH6, JH7) (See: Brake
Pad/Service and Repair/Front Disc Brake Pads Replacement (JH6, JH7)) and/orRear Disc Brake
Pads Replacement (JD9) (See: Brake Pad/Service and Repair/Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement
(JD9))Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement (JH6, JH7) (See: Brake Pad/Service and Repair/Rear
Disc Brake Pads Replacement (JH6, JH7)) .
2. Clean the friction surfaces of the brake rotor with denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved
brake cleaner.
3. Using a micrometer calibrated in thousanths-of-a-millimeter, or ten-thousanths-of-an-inch,
measure and record the thickness of the brake rotor at
four or more points, evenly spaced around the rotor. Ensure that the measurements are only taken
within the friction surfaces and that the micrometer is positioned the same distance from the outer
edge of the rotor, about 13 mm (1/2 in), for each measurement.
4. Calculate the difference between the highest and lowest thickness measurement recorded to
obtain the amount of thickness variation. 5. Compare the thickness variation measurement to the
following specifications:
Brake rotor maximum allowable thickness variation: 0.025 mm (0.001 in)
Brake rotor maximum allowable thickness variation: 0.009 mm (0.0004 in)
Note
Whenever a brake rotor is refinished or replaced, the assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the rotor
must be measured to ensure optimum performance of the disc brakes.
6. If the brake rotor thickness variation measurement exceeds the specification, the rotor requires
refinishing or replacement.

Important When a wheel alignment is deemed necessary for tire wear, be sure to document on the
repair order, in as much detail as possible, the severity and type of tire wear (e.g., severe center
wear or severe inside or outside shoulder wear) and the position of the tire on the vehicle (RF, LF,
LR, RR). Please note the customer's concern with the wear such as, noise, appearance, wear life,
etc. A field product report with pictures of the tire wear condition is recommended. Refer to
Corporate Bulletin Number 02-00-89-002J and #07-00-89-036C.
4. Other repairs that affect wheel alignment; e.g., certain component replacement such as
suspension control arm replacement, engine cradle
adjustment/replace, steering gear replacement, steering tie rod replace, suspension strut/shock,
steering knuckle, etc. may require a wheel alignment.
Important If other components or repairs are identified as affecting the wheel alignment, policy calls
for the wheel alignment labor time to be charged to the replaced/repaired component's labor
operation time rather than the wheel alignment labor operations.
Important Vibration type customer concerns are generally NOT due to wheel alignment except in
the rare cases; e.g., extreme diagonal wear across the tread. In general, wheel alignments are
NOT to be performed as an investigation/correction for vibration concerns.
"Normal Operation" Conditions
Vehicle Lead/Pull Due to Road Crown or Slope:
As part of "Normal Operation," vehicles will follow side-to-side or left to right road crown or slope.
Be sure to verify from the customer the types of roads they are driving as they may not recognize
the influence of road crown on vehicle lead/pull and steering wheel angle. If a vehicle requires
significant steering effort to prevent it from "climbing" the road crown there may be an issue to be
looked into further.

Correction
Page 7828
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.
Page 7224
Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is
often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or
a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If
broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note
Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
GMLAN Repairs
Note
When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must be the
same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be maintained after
the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and

Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2006-2009 model year Buick Lucerne; Cadillac DTS; HUMMER H2; 2008-2009 model year Buick
Enclave; Cadillac CTS; 2007-2009 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT;
Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe; GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL; Saturn
OUTLOOK; and 2009 model year Chevrolet Traverse vehicles equipped with a heated washer fluid
system (RPO XA7/CHW). A recall was implemented on some vehicles in 2008 to add a fuse to the
HWFS control circuit harness to address the potential consequences of a printed circuit board
electrical short. However, there have been new reports of thermal incidents on HWFS modules
after this improvement was installed. These incidents resulted from a new failure mode attributed to
the device's thermal protection feature. Their significance varies from minor distortion to
considerable melting of the plastic around the HWFS fluid chamber. In some circumstances, it is
possible for the heated washer module to cause a fire.

10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Sensor Replacement Guidelines
The SIR/side air bag sensor replacement policy requires replacing sensors in the area of accident
damage. The area of accident damage is defined as the portion of the vehicle which is crushed,
bent, or damaged due to a collision. An example of this would be a moderate collision where the
front of the vehicle impacts a tree, if the vehicle has an SIR sensor mounted forward of the radiator,
replace the SIR sensor.
* Replace the sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed.
* Replace the sensor even if the sensor appears to be undamaged.
Sensor damage which is not visible, such as slight bending of the mounting bracket or cuts in the
wire insulation, can cause improper operation of the SIR/side air bag sensing system. Do not try to
determine whether the sensor is undamaged. Replace the sensor. Also, if you follow a diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) table and a malfunctioning sensor is indicated, replace the sensor.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B
Date: November 18, 2010
Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

Bulletin No.: 09-04-19-002A
Date: February 17, 2011
Subject: 4WD System Shift Performance in Cold Ambient Temperatures (Use Synthetic Fluid in
Light Duty Front Axles with 8.5" Ring Gears)
Models:
1999-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series Models 1999-2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Series Models
Equipped with 4WD and 8.25" Front Axle Ring Gears (Transfer Case RPOs NP2, NQG)
Attention:
It is important to determine the RPO for the transfer case in GWM/IVH prior to applying this bulletin.
This bulletin applies ONLY to vehicles equipped with 8.25" front axle ring gears, used in
conjunction with a manual transfer case (RPOs NP2, NQG).
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-04-19-002 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment about the effort required to shift from 2HI to 4HI in cold ambient
temperatures at -6°C (20°F) or below.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the standard front axle being equipped with conventional mineral
oil axle fluid. In cold ambient temperatures, prior to complete warm up, the fluid viscosity is thick.
This may affect transfer case shift performance prior to full warm up.
Correction
Drain the front axle fluid and refill with GM SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Fluid, P/N 89021677 (in
Canada, 89021678). Refer to Front Axle Lubricant Replacement in SI. It is important to use
synthetic fluid in this 8.25" axle to improve the performance of the 4WD system in cold ambient
temperatures.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

Supercede: This bulletin is being updated to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 07-06-01-016A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important Engine damage that is the result of an incorrect or improperly installed engine oil filter is
not a warrantable claim. The best way to avoid oil filter quality concerns is to purchase ACDelco(R)
oil filters directly from GMSPO.
Oil filter misapplication may cause abnormal engine noise or internal damage. Always utilize the
most recent parts information to ensure the correct part number filter is installed when replacing oil
filters. Do not rely on physical dimensions alone. Counterfeit copies of name brand parts have been
discovered in some aftermarket parts systems. Always ensure the parts you install are from a
trusted source. Improper oil filter installation may result in catastrophic engine damage.
Refer to the appropriate Service Information (SI) installation instructions when replacing any oil
filter and pay particular attention to procedures for proper cartridge filter element alignment. If the
diagnostics in SI (Engine Mechanical) lead to the oil filter as the cause of the internal engine noise
or damage, dealers should submit a field product report. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
02-00-89-002I (Information for Dealers on How to Submit a Field Product Report).

4. Slide the rotor all the way to the hub and hold it in place until you have placed one of the conical
washers (with the tapered hole side facing
out) and run the first lug nut up tight by hand so the rotor doesn't move when you release it.
5. Place the conical washers on the rest of the studs (with the tapered hole side facing out), start
and snug the lug nuts by hand.
6. Using the one half inch drive impact wrench and a torque stick (J 39544) or equivalent, start with
the lug nut opposite of the one you first
tightened by hand and tighten the lug nuts using a star pattern until they touch the hub but do not
completely torque. Then again, starting with the first lug nut you tightened by hand, tighten all the
lug nuts in a star pattern to the specific vehicle torque specification.
7. DO NOT reinstall the caliper or the wheel at this time.
On-Car Type Lathe
1. Leave the On-Car adapter on the wheel.
2. Proceed to Step 9.
9. Fasten the dial indicator to the steering knuckle so that the indicator needle contacts the rotor
outboard friction surface approximately 6.35 mm
(0.25 in) from the rotor's outer edge. The stylus should be perpendicular to the friction surface of
the rotor.
Important Make sure the dial indicator needle tip is screwed tight, a loose tip could cause false
readings.
10. Measure for LRO. Follow the procedure below to determine if the LRO is within specification
(0.050 mm (0.002 in) or LESS).
1. Rotate the rotor and locate the point on the rotor where the lowest dial indicator reading is
indicated and set the dial indicator to zero.
2. Rotate the rotor from the low point and locate the point with the highest dial indicator reading
(rotor "high spot"). Note the amount and mark
the location of the "high spot" on the rotor and mark the closest wheel stud relative to this location.
If the high point falls between two studs, mark both studs. In instances where the vehicle has
"capped lug nuts" you should mark the hub.
11. If the Lateral Run Out (LRO) measurement is 0.050 mm (0.002 in) or LESS, no correction is
necessary. Go to Step 15 if this is the first rotor
completed. Go to Step 16 if this is the second rotor completed. If the LRO is GREATER than 0.050
mm (0.002 in), go to Step 12.
12. If the LRO measurement is greater than 0.050 mm (0.002 in), use the following procedure to
correct for LRO:
Important If the LRO measurement is over 0.279 mm (0.011 in), determine the source or cause of
the LRO and correct it (i.e. verify drive axle nut torque specification, refinished rotor is source of
LRO due to a lathe qualification issue - see "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure").
Hubless Rotor
1. Remove the rotor and using the Brake Align(R) application chart (found in TSB 01-05-23-001B),
choose the correct plate to bring the rotor
LRO to 0.050 mm (0.002 in) or less. The plates come in 0.0762 mm (0.003 in), 0.1524 mm (0.006
in) and 0.2286 (0.009 in) compensation. For more information on proper plate selection, see the
instruction video/DVD included in the "Brake Align(R)" kit or TSB 01-05-23-001B.
2. Align the V-notch of the selected Brake Align(R) correction plate to the marked wheel stud ("high
spot") or between the two points marked (if
the "high spot" is between two wheel studs).
Important IF Brake Align(R) Correction Plates are not available for the vehicle being serviced, refer
to SI Document - Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction for correcting LRO.
Important Per Brake Align(R) manufacturer, NEVER attempt to stack two or more Correction Plates
together on one hub. NEVER attempt to reuse a previously installed Correction Plate.
3. Reinstall the rotor using the same method and precautions as the first time - found in Step 8.
Make sure to index the rotor correctly to the
marks made in step 10, otherwise LRO will be comprised.
Hubbed / Captured / Trapped Rotor
1. Measure the rotor thickness.
2. Refinish or replace the rotor (see Service Information for further details).
Page 17106
3. Match the vehicle harness label circuit functions to the trailer brake controller jumper harness
functions.
Important The color or wires to be joined together may not match.
- Dark Blue Wire: switched power from controller to trailer brakes
- Red with Black Stripe: fused vehicle power to electrical brake controller
- Light Blue with White Stripe: Brake switch input to power electric brake controller
- White: ground
- Orange: CHMSL (Center High Mounted Stop Lamp) - not required with most systems
4. After completing the under dash connections to the electric brake controller, open the hood and
locate the red wire that is taped to the harness
between the underhood electrical center and the driver side front fender.
5. Break the tape on the red/black wire and pull it toward the front of vehicle. 6. Remove the lid
from the electrical center.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
7. Place the terminal on the larger of the two studs at the front of the electrical center and secure
with an M8 nut. This is circuit #242 to stud #2, to
power the aftermarket trailer brake controller.
Important The fuse is already present in the vehicle to power the electrical trailer brake controller
system.

Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable

the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Page 7080
* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3). Refer to Ignition
System Specifications (See: Specifications) . An excessively wide electrode gap can prevent
correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See:
Specifications) . Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark
plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug.
* A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
* A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
Visual Inspection
* Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal
combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
* Carbon fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
* Leaking fuel injectors
* Excessive fuel pressure
* Restricted air filter element
* Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
* Weak ignition coils
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit fouling-Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark plug intensity. Most powdery deposits will not affect spark plug intensity
unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the models to include full size trucks. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 08-09-41-009 (Section 09 - Restraints).
Technicians may find a DTC B0081 5A in some of the vehicles listed above. The sensing and
diagnostic module (SDM) is setting this DTC due to an issue with the messages in the software for
the SDM.
Technicians should check for DTCs while the ignition is in RUN. If DTC B0081 5A is set in history,
there is no need for any parts replacement. The only way this code is set in history is if the key is
left in ACC for more than 10 seconds. The passenger side tell tale airbag light in the cluster will
stay on solid until the key is in RUN or OFF. For example, the customer will have the car parked,
key in ACC and listening to the radio the light comes on and the DTC B0081 5A sets.
If you are checking the vehicle after this event, you will find DTC B0081 5A in history if the IGN is in
RUN.
If you turn the key to the ACC position for more than 10 seconds with the Tech 2(R) tool
connected, the code will be current as long as you are in the ACC position.
If the key is moved to RUN or OFF, the telltale light will go off and the code will go immediately to
history (reference to PIC4917 DTC B0081 5A In History).
This condition will only occur with the following passenger presence system (PPS) module part
numbers:
^ 25977948 (CK) (All)
^ 94216444 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92221553 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92219364 (G8) (Cloth)
Remember that any time the vehicle is brought into service that the customer could have operated
the vehicle in ACC for more than 10 seconds. This will cause the passenger side airbag light to
come on solid in the cluster. Please tell the customer that this is a normal operating characteristic.
If DTC B0081 5A is current while the ignition is in RUN, please check all connections and wiring.
Check the seat connector located on the right side under the sill plate in the door opening. Pull the
seat out of the vehicle and check for PPS wiring and make sure all connectors are connected.
ThePPS Module has two connections one for the seat harness and one for the sensor mat (the
sensor mat is located between the seat foam cushion and seat pan).
If other DTCs are current, follow the diagnostics in SI. (There are two SDM DTC s related to PPS:
B0081 71 - Passenger Presence System 1 Invalid Serial Data Received and U0170 - Lost
Communication With Restraints System Sensor A (PPS)).

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

The Service 4 Wheel Drive message and the resulting DTC(s) set is a result of the Transfer Case
Control Module (TCCM) software not updated to the latest version.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the TCCM for this condition.
Reprogram the TCCM with the revised calibration and then perform the Clutch Reset Procedure
(Motor Learn Procedure).
Important If DTC C0387 or DTCs C0387 and/or C0569 occur, check connectors and wiring, and
service as necessary prior to reprogramming the TCCM.
1. Reprogram the TCCM with the latest software calibration.
Important Select the correct calibration files for the appropriate vehicle configuration (body style)
and RPO codes.
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the TCCM using the Service Programming System (SPS) with the latest software available on
TIS2WEB. Refer to Transfer Case Shift Control Module Programming and Setup procedures in SI.
As always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
Important A voltage of 10.5 or higher is required to successfully complete the Clutch Reset
Procedure without setting DTCs.
2. Perform the Clutch Reset Procedure (Motor Learn Procedure). Refer to Transfer Case High/Low
Clutch Reset in SI. 3. Read and clear all the DTCs. 4. Perform the following mode and range shifts:

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Attention:
This bulletin should be distributed and reviewed by the Service Manager and Service Advisors. A
copy of this bulletin may be given to your customer to assist in explaining the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter operation.
This bulletin provides information regarding any remote keyless entry/transmitter (key fob) that may
be inoperative intermittently or in which a particular button(s) does not work.
To prevent transmitter battery drain, the RKE transmitter will disable any button or buttons that are
depressed longer than 30 seconds. The disabled button or buttons will remain disabled until
another button that has not been disabled is pressed.
If a button or buttons on a transmitter are not functioning, or if a transmitter cannot be programmed
to a vehicle, press and release each and every button on the fob one at a time until you find one
that works then retest the other buttons. If all buttons are now working, the button(s) were disabled
and the transmitter is working as designed.
If the transmitter still fails to function properly, use the J-43241 tester and follow normal diagnostics
as shown in SI.

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.
1999-2003 Model Year (Use Service Kit P/N 19207762)
1. Raise the vehicle. Suitably support the vehicle. 2. Disconnect the EVAP canister vent valve
electrical connector, if equipped. 3. Disengage the two vent valve pipe clips securing the pipe to the
underbody. Remove the clips from the underbody and discard. 4. Disconnect the vent valve pipe at

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Bulletin Number 07-08-49-014 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment that a "Park Assist Off" message is appearing on the Driver
Information center (DIC) at times.
There are several factors listed above that can cause this message to appear. A Tech 2 can be
used to access the latest entry into the Park Assist Module history buffer to help determine a
cause.
Engineering has received multiple inhibited Rear park Assist Modules through warranty parts return
with attached object stored in the latest history buffer. If a vehicle has a trailer hitch installed into
the trailer hitch receiver, it is possible for the rear park assist to be disabled. Once the trailer hitch is
removed, the message should go away. Other possible causes may be dirty sensors. Keep the
rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
Important:
Please note that any object that is installed in the receiver hitch, extending from the rear of the
vehicle, or blocking the sensors can disable the Parking Assist, resulting in the message "Park
Assist Off". Please remove the object or obstruction from the vehicle to re-enable the system. This
is normal operation of the system.

3. Place a protective cover over the carpet below the evaporator core. 4. Remove the cabin air
filter, if equipped, and cover the opening prior to applying the Cooling Coil Coating, as the product
may clog the filter. If the
cabin air filter appears to have little or no remaining life, suggest a replacement to your customer.
5. If the HVAC module has a blower motor cooling tube, be careful NOT TO SPRAY THE
COOLING COIL COATING INTO THE
BLOWER MOTOR COOLING TUBE.
6. Attach the Flexible Applicator Pressure Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) to a compressed air line
operating at 586 kPa (85 psi) to 793 kPa (115 psi). 7. Shake the bottle of Cooling Coil Coating well.
Screw the bottle onto the cap on the applicator tool's pick-up tube.
Note The pick-up tube is designed for 120 ml (4 oz) and 240 ml (8 oz) bottles and should coil
slightly in the bottom of a 120 ml (4 oz) bottle.
8. Use one of the following three methods to apply the Cooling Coil Coating.
Important If the Pressure Applicator Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) is not available, the Cooling Coil
Coating is also available in an aerosol can (P/N 12377951 (in Canada, 10953503)).
Application Through Blower Motor Control Module Opening
- Remove the blower motor control module (blower motor resistor). Refer to the applicable
procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor blower
motor control module (blower motor resistor) opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor blower motor control module (blower
motor control module).
Application Through Blower Motor Opening
- Remove the blower motor. Refer to the applicable blower motor removal procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor.
Application Through a Hole in the HVAC Module
- If neither of the two previous application methods are available, it may be necessary to drill a hole
in the HVAC module.
- Locate an area of the HVAC module between the blower motor and the evaporator core. Drill a 10
mm (3/8 in) hole in the HVAC module. Use caution to keep the drill clear of the evaporator core and
the blower motor fan.
- With the air distribution vents closed and the blower motor fan speed on HIGH, insert the
applicator tool into the hole and spray the Cooling Coil Coating into the airstream toward the
evaporator core.
- Use a GM approved RTV sealant to plug the hole in the HVAC module.
9. After the Cooling Coil Coating application is complete, start and run the vehicle for approximately
10 minutes, with the compressor disabled,
HVAC mode set to Recirculate/Max, heat set to full warm, blower motor fan speed on high, and
one window open approximately 12 mm (1/2 in). This cures the Cooling Coil Coating onto the
evaporator core surface.
10. While the engine is running, rinse the applicator tool with warm water to prolong the life of the
tool. Be sure to spray warm water through the
nozzle to rinse out any residual Cooling Coil Coating still in the capillary pick up tube, otherwise it
will dry and clog the applicator tool. Also remove the small green valve from the bottle cap and
rinse it thoroughly while rolling it between two fingers and then reinstall it. If this valve is clogged ,
the Cooling Coil Coating will not flow through the applicator tool.
11. Shut off the engine and enable the compressor again. 12. Verify proper HVAC system
operation. 13. Remove the protective cover from inside the vehicle. 14. Remove the drain pan from
underneath the vehicle. 15. Reinstall the cabin air filter if necessary.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 06-00-89-029E (Section 00 - General Information).
To keep the vehicle interior looking the best, it should be cleaned often. It is important to keep the
upholstery from becoming heavily soiled. The vehicle's interior can experience extreme heat, which
can cause stains to set quickly. Lighter color interiors may require more frequent cleaning. Care
should be taken because newspapers and garments may transfer color to the vehicle's interior.
Many of today's interiors are made with new low gloss materials. Permanent damage may result
from using cleaners on ANY surfaces (interior trim, instrument panel, carpet, leather, vinyl and
fabric) for which they are not intended. Using non-approved products can actually set the stain to
the point that nothing can remove it.
Important
Do not use silicone or wax-based products or those containing organic solvents (such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.) to clean your vehicle's interior because they can alter the appearance by increasing
the gloss in a non-uniform manner. The increase in gloss may cause annoying reflections in the
windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under certain conditions.
- Never use a STIFF brush or a brush that has been previously used with a harsh chemical. This
can cause damage to the vehicle's interior surfaces.
- Use only mild, Neutral-pH cleaners. Avoid laundry detergents or dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Using too much soap will leave residue that leaves streaks and attracts dirt.
Because it is critical to use only mild, neutral-pH cleaners, General Motors has approved the use of
the cleaners and conditioners listed in this bulletin for the cleaning of interiors. These products are
in the neutral-pH range and will maintain the best vehicle interior appearance. These products are
water-based, biodegradable, and do not contain bleach, solvents or harsh chemicals.
Interior trim pieces on new vehicles, as well as service components, arrive with a protective film.
When removing the protective film, adhesive residue may be left on the trim panels/components.
The cleaner (for leather, vinyl, plastic and interior paint) is an effective cleaner in removing
adhesive residue without causing damage to the component.
Important
- If soapy, alkaline cleaning solutions are used on fabrics, and not thoroughly rinsed out, the
residual left in the fabric will attract dirt. Because the recommended cleaners/conditioners are in the
pH neutral range, they won't leave behind soapy residue.
- On heavily stained or difficult to clean fabric/carpet, it is recommended that the entire surface be
treated and cleaned vs. spot cleaning. Refer to Extractor Machine and Concentrate section of this
bulletin for more information.
Effective cleaning steps for hard and/or plastic surfaces:
1. Using a clean towel, apply/spray cleaner - leather, vinyl, plastic, interior paint, directly onto the
towel. 2. Wipe the surface with the towel/cleaner. 3. If necessary, use a soft bristle brush to work
cleaner into the crevasses of the area being cleaned. 4. Wipe off any excess cleaner from the
surface. 5. Using a clean towel, apply/spray the conditioner (leather, vinyl restorer) directly onto the
towel. 6. Wipe the conditioner onto the previously cleaned area to restore the material to it's
original luster.
Important Today's interiors are developed and intended to have a low-gloss appearance. It is
important to use only products which provide a low-gloss finish in order to maintain the interior's
integrity, customer appeal and satisfaction.

- If not an active value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal,
proceed to Wiring Repair below. If the circuit does not test normal, fix the open wire.
5. If all circuits test normal, replace the windshield wiper motor and do NOT perform the following
repair. Do not proceed on with this bulletin.
Wiring Repair - To correct this concern relocate the wiper motor park switch ground circuit as
follows:
Important
Do Not replace the wiper motor at this time.
1. Disconnect the wiper motor connector and remove any tape/conduit 75-100 mm (3-4 in) from the
connector end.
2. Locate and cut circuit 1851 (pin 2 Black/White wire) approximately 50 mm (2 in) from the wiper
motor connector.
3. Using 18 gauge (0.8 metric) Black wire, route the new park switch ground circuit through the
front of dash grommet (1).
4. Using a Salmon Duraseal splice sleeve, refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves in
SI. Splice the new wire onto circuit 1851 terminal 2
that is still attached to the wiper motor connector. Use electrical tape to tape and secure the other
cut end of circuit 1851 into the wiper motor harness.
5. Attach the new park switch ground circuit along side the wiper motor harness using zip ties or
electrical tape, up to the front of dash grommet.
6. Cut the other end of the new park switch ground circuit long enough to reach the new ground
location shown below.
7. Install the appropriate size ring terminal to the wire and attach to the ground stud (2) using the

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

Communications Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Audio - Radio Does Not Mute
Enough When Using OnStar(R)
TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 10-08-46-001
Date: January 27, 2010
Subject: Radio Does Not Mute Enough When OnStar(R) Turn-by Turn Navigation Directions Are
Announced (Increase Volume Setting or Request Soft Mute Feature Change Through OnStar(R)
Customer Service)
Models:
2009-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 2009
Saab 9-7X All Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
Condition
Some customers may comment that when the radio is on, it does not mute enough when the
OnStar(R) Turn-by-Turn Navigation directions are announced.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the customer improperly setting the radio volume high enough
when the Turn-by-Turn Navigation messages are played.
The 2009 and 2010 models with OnStar(R) initiates a "soft mute" feature when the radio is on
during Turn-by-Turn Navigation direction announcements. During the announcement, the radio can
still be heard at a very low volume. Previous model years initiated a "hard mute" during this
function which completely muted the radio audio.
Correction
Instruct the customer to increase the radio volume while getting the Turn-by-Turn Navigation
direction announcements. You can control the message volume using the radio volume control,
only when the Turn-by-Turn navigation messages are playing.
Some customers that were accustomed to previous model vehicles with the "hard mute" feature
may be dissatisfied with the function of the "soft mute" feature. For those customers, contact the
OnStar(R) Customer Service Center by pushing the Blue OnStar(R) Button to speak to a trained
Advisor and request a change be made to the vehicle from the "soft mute" setting to that of the
hard or complete muting of audio playback during Turn by Turn directions. OnStar(R) will then
create a case number. Advise the customer that the vehicle update should be completed Over the
Air within 5 business days, after which an OnStar(R) Customer Care advisor will follow-up with the
customer to verify the fix. If the customer does not hear back from OnStar(R) within a week, advise
them to press the Blue OnStar(R) Button and ask for Customer Care to check status.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

Condition
Some customers may comment on an engine valve lifter tick noise that occurs after the engine has
been shut off for at least two hours. The tick noise may last from two seconds to ten minutes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- Aerated oil in the valve lifter body, resulting in the valve lifter being unable to purge the air quickly.
- A low engine oil level or incorrect oil viscosity.
- Dirty or contaminated oil.
- A low internal valve lifter oil reservoir level.
- Debris in the valve lifter.
- A high valve lifter leak down rate.
Correction
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate the cause of this valve lifter tick noise and normal oil pressure is
noted during the concern, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the engine oil condition and level. Refer to Owner Manual > Service and Appearance
Care > Checking Things Under the Hood >
Description and Operation > Engine Oil in SI.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.
1. Access and remove the seat bolts/nuts. 2. Adjust the seat rearward about halfway. Adjust the

If performing routine Brake Service for worn pads only, and the rotors are not damaged and
measure within specification - DO NOT REFINISH ROTORS.
1. Remove the rotor(s).
2. Measure the rotor for original thickness using a brake micrometer. Multiple measure points
should be taken and the lowest measurement
should be recorded.
3. Reference the Minimum Thickness specification stamped on the backside of the rotor or SI for
Minimum Thickness specification/other. In
most cases, the rotor should be refinished unless the measurement taken makes it obvious that
refinishing the rotor would take the measurement under the Minimum Thickness specification (then
replacement is necessary). DO NOT use any other manufacturers rotor specifications.
3. ***Record the lowest ORIGINAL rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy as
noted in the "Repair Order Documentation - Rotor
Refinish" section of this bulletin.
4. Clean all of the mating surfaces between the hub, the rotor and the wheel using the J 42450A Wheel Hub Cleaning Kit and J 41013 - Whiz
Wheel(R).
If rotors are not to be refinished - Go To Step 8.
Important Cleaning all mating surfaces and making them free of corrosion, burrs and other debris
(which includes removal of Hubless rotors) is critical and MUST be performed whether using an
On-Car or Bench Lathe Refinish Procedure.
5. Be sure to follow the appropriate refinishing procedure listed below for the type of lathe you are
using.
Important Only replace the rotors if they do not meet the Minimum Thickness specification.
Important DO NOT REFINISH NEW ROTORS.
Important Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that
equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a
floating caliper.
Important Prior to making the cut, install the recommended clip-on style disc silencer supplied with
the lathe. Use of this silencer is critical to prevent chatter from occurring during the cut.
Bench Type Lathe
1. Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces.
2. Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is clean and free of
debris or burrs. For more information, see the
"Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure (Bench-Type)" section in this bulletin.
3. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake
pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools
into the rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a
full turn
4. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
5. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same
procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
6. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the
zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
7. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit sandpaper
to obtain a non-directional finish.
On-Car Type Lathe
1. Reinstall the rotor(s).

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the
longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

You MUST use a silver-bearing solder to make the solder joint. DO NOT attempt this repair with
conventional tin/lead alloy solders. Most suppliers have this type of solder available and it is
available nationally at Radio Shack(R)*. It is sold in several diameters and either are acceptable for
this repair.
5. For this step, it is permitted that two technicians be used if required. Heat the new connector on
the surface of the buss bar that is to be soldered.
Long nose pliers are suggested to hold the electrical connector and the defroster tab in place. Keep
the solder ready and begin flowing out the solder as soon as the melting temperature has been
reached. Tip If a single technician is attempting this repair, it is beneficial to wrap one turn of the
solder around the new contacts base. In this manner, as the melting point of the solder is reached,
a layer is deposited on the bottom side of the contact.
Important Try to align the new contact so that it is positioned with the same orientation as the
original contact.
6. The above illustrates an ideal finished solder joint. Additional stray solder will not harm the
performance of the bond; however, while it is unlikely
that customers may refer to the appearance of the rear window defroster and its components as a
positive styling feature of the vehicle interior, it is easy to elicit the opposite reaction due to a poor
cosmetic application.

The 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pump, P/N 19207983, has a different connector that does not
match previous model year service transmissions. Internally, the 2010 auxiliary fluid pump is
identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid
pump control module utilizing a replacement service connector on the control module.
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump service part will be replaced by the 2010 version
and will be required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. Service replacement for these
vehicles will also require a replacement service connector to interface with a 2008-2009
transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module.
Transmission Auxiliary Fluid Pump Control Module
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module service part will be replaced by
the 2010 version and is required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. The 2010 transmission
auxiliary fluid pump control module, P/N 29546636, includes different connectors that do not match
previous model year transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and engine wiring harnesses. Internally, the
2010 auxiliary fluid pump control module is identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with
a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness utilizing replacement
service connectors on the transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness.
Instructions
Follow the tables below when servicing 2008 and 2009 model year vehicles with the above hybrid
service transmissions, 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and 2010 transmission auxiliary
fluid pump control modules.

Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.
Page 11318
Page 19403
8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger
compartment, apply grease to the connector.
Reinstalling Terminal
1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly, refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on
the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA,
CPA, and/or the secondary locks.
Terminated Lead Repair
1. Remove the terminal. 2. Find the appropriate terminated lead. 3. Use the appropriate splice
sleeves depending on the gage size. 4. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Compression Check: Specifications
The minimum compression in any one cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. For example, if the highest pressure in any one cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest
allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). Multiply the highest cylinder
pressure by 70 percent, 1035 kPa x 70 percent = 725 kPa (150 psi x 70 percent = 105 psi), in order
to determine the lowest allowable pressure in any other cylinder.

Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is
often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or
a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If
broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size.

Electrical Ground Repair Overview
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground
connections. Loose, stripped, or corroded connections increase the possibility of improper system
function and loss of module communication. These conditions may also lead to unnecessary
repairs and component replacement.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of the
following attachment methods:
- Welded M6 stud and nut
- Welded M6 nut and bolt
- Welded M8 nut and bolt
Determine which attachment method is used and perform the appropriate or alternative repair as
described in this bulletin.
M6 Weld Stud Replacement

P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.

Do not use cleaning solutions that contain hydrofluoric, oxalic and most other acids on chrome
wheels (or any wheels).
If the customer is unsure of the chemical make-up of a particular wheel cleaner, it should be
avoided.
For wheels showing signs of milky staining from acidic cleaners, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Warranty of Stained Chrome Wheels
Stained wheels are not warrantable. Most acid based cleaners will permanently stain chrome
wheels. Follow-up with dealers has confirmed that such cleaners were used on wheels that were
returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC). Any stained wheels received by the WPC will be
charged back to the dealership. To assist the customer, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Pitting or Spotted Appearance of Chrome Wheels Figure 2
A second type or staining or finish disturbance may result from road chemicals, such as calcium
chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads. The staining will look like small pitting (refer to
Figure 2). This staining will usually be on the leading edges of each wheel spoke, but may be
uniformly distributed. If a vehicle must be operated under such conditions, the chrome wheels
should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed as soon as conveniently
possible.
Important Road chemicals, such as calcium chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads, can
also stain chrome wheels. The staining will look like small pitting. This staining will usually be on
the leading edges of each wheel spoke. This is explained by the vehicle traveling in the forward
direction while being splashed by the road chemical. If a vehicle must be operated under such
conditions, the chrome wheels should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed
as soon as conveniently possible.
Warranty of Pitted or Spotted Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of road chemicals may be replaced one time.
Damage resulting from contact with these applied road chemicals is corrosive to the wheels finish
and may cause damage if the wheels are not kept clean.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean if they are operating the vehicle in an area that
applies calcium chloride or other dust controlling chemicals! "GM of Canada" dealers require prior
approval by the District Manager - Customer Care and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
"Stardust" Corrosion of Chrome Wheels Figure 3
A third type of finish disturbance results from prolonged exposure to brake dust and resultant
penetration of brake dust through the chrome. As brakes are applied hot particles of brake material
are thrown off and tend to be forced through the leading edge of the wheel spoke windows by
airflow. These

Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Tires - Minimizing Damage to TPM Sensors
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-10-007
Date: May 16, 2008
Subject: Minimizing Damage to Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Sensors During Tire
Mounting/Dismounting
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with Wheel Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors
Minimizing Damage To TPM Sensors
All GM vehicles now in production and sold in the U.S., as well as many vehicles sold in Canada,
feature Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems that have valve stem mounted Tire Pressure Sensors.
When dismounting and mounting tires, care must be taken when breaking the bead loose from the
wheel. If the tire machines bead breaking fixture is positioned too close to the tire pressure sensor,
as the tire bead breaks away from the wheel it may be forced into, or catch on the edge of the tire
pressure sensor. This can damage the sensor and require the sensor to be replaced.
Care must also be taken when transferring the tire bead to the other side of the wheel rim. As the
tire machine rotates and the tire bead is stretched around the wheel rim, the bead can come in
contact with the sensor if it is not correctly positioned in relation to the mounting/dismounting head
prior to tire mounting/dismounting. This can also cause sensor damage requiring replacement.
Procedure
Notice:
Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone in
order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could result.
Notice:
Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment.
Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to
peel from the wheel.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem.
2. Deflate the tire completely.
Important:
Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and 270
degrees from the valve stem.

Bulletin No.: 08-08-46-004
Date: August 14, 2008
Subject: Information on Aftermarket Device Interference with OnStar(R) Diagnostic Services
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-07-30-035B
Date: November 01, 2010
Subject: Information on Water or Ethylene Glycol in Transmission Fluid
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks with Automatic Transmission
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 08-07-30-035A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Water or ethylene glycol in automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is harmful to internal transmission
components and will have a negative effect on reliability and durability of these parts. Water or
ethylene glycol in ATF will also change the friction of the clutches, frequently resulting in shudder
during engagement or gear changes, especially during torque converter clutch engagement.
Indications of water in the ATF may include:
- ATF blowing out of the transmission vent tube.
- ATF may appear cloudy or, in cases of extreme contamination, have the appearance of a
strawberry milkshake.
- Visible water in the oil pan.
- A milky white substance inside the pan area.
- Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be glued to the valve body face or case.
- Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be swollen or wrinkled in areas where they are not
compressed.
- Rust on internal transmission iron/steel components.
If water in the ATF has been found and the source of the water entry has not been identified, or if a
leaking in-radiator transmission oil cooler is suspected (with no evidence of cross-contamination in
the coolant recovery reservoir), a simple and quick test kit is available that detects the presence of
ethylene glycol in ATF. The "Gly-Tek" test kit, available from the Nelco Company, should be
obtained and the ATF tested to make an accurate decision on the need for radiator replacement.
This can help to prevent customer comebacks if the in-radiator transmission oil cooler is leaking
and reduce repair expenses by avoiding radiator replacement if the cooler is not leaking. These
test kits can be obtained from:
Nelco Company
Test kits can be ordered by phone or through the website listed above. Orders are shipped
standard delivery time but can be shipped on a next day delivery basis for an extra charge. One
test kit will complete 10 individual fluid sample tests. For vehicles repaired under warranty, the cost
of the complete test kit plus shipping charges should be divided by 10 and submitted on the
warranty claim as a net item.
The transmission should be repaired or replaced based on the normal cost comparison procedure.
Important If water or coolant is found in the transmission, the following components MUST be
replaced.
- Replace all of the rubber-type seals.
- Replace all of the composition-faced clutch plates and/or bands.
- Replace all of the nylon parts.
- Replace the torque converter.
- Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transmission, using new gaskets and oil filter.
Important The following steps must be completed when repairing or replacing.
Flush and flow check the transmission oil cooler using J 45096. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
02-07-30-052F- Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Essential Tool J 45096

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming

Average Fuel Economy
Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation: AFE = Distance/Fuel
* Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value
* Fuel = The accumulated fuel consumption since the last reset of this value
The engine control module (ECM) sends the average fuel economy serial data message to the
instrument panel cluster (IPC). The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be
changed between English units and metric units by selecting from the driver information center
(DIC) options menu.
Oil Life Remaining
The ECM sends the oil life remaining percentage to the IPC via a serial data message. The
instrument panel cluster receives a serial data message indicating the engine oil life remaining. The
DIC displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as determined by the ECM. When
the oil life remaining percentage drops below 5 percent, the DIC displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON. When the engine oil is changed, reset the GM Oil Life System. Refer to GM Oil Life System
Resetting .
Fuel Range
This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel
economy and fuel level conditions since the last battery connection to the IPC. Fuel Range is
calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.
* Range Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
* Fuel Used = The accumulated fuel delivered since the last reset of this value
The ECM sends the fuel range value to the IPC. The IPC receives a serial data message with the
fuel information. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between
English and Metric units by accessing the DIC English/Metric menu. The Fuel Range display
cannot be reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value.
Fuel Used
The DIC calculates and displays the total amount of fuel used since the last reset operation. You
can reset the fuel used mode by depressing and holding the Set/Reset button for more than 3
seconds. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE)
Instantaneous fuel economy (IFE) is calculated using the equation: IFE = Distance/Fuel Used.
* Distance = The accumulated distance travelled for the last 2 seconds
* Fuel = The accumulated fuel delivered for the last 2 seconds
The IPC receives a serial data message from the ECM. The distance information is calculated by
the IPC using the vehicle speed information from the ECM. These values are retained during
ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units accessing the DIC
English/Metric menu. The IFE display cannot be reset.
Tire Pressure Monitor
The IPC receives a serial data message from the tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system for front
and rear tire pressure data. The DIC will display the pressure for each of the front and rear tires.
When a tire with low air pressure is present, the DIC displays XXXX XXXX TIRE PRESSURE
LOW.
Trip Time
The timer records elapsed time starting from activation. When the DIC displays the timer, pressing
the Set/Reset switch for 1 second on the DIC resets the timer. Pressing the Set/Reset button on
the DIC switch for approximately 1 second starts and stops the timer. The DIC displays the timer in
one of the following formats:

* Accessory DC power control module (APM)
* Battery energy control module (BECM)
* Motor control module (MCM) 1
* Motor control module (MCM) 2
* Auxiliary transmission fluid pump (ATFP) control module
These modules diagnose their own operation and determine when a fault condition is present.
Diagnostic status is communicated to the HPCM through the following circuits:
* APM utilizes the GM Hi-speed, Hybrid LAN communication circuit
* BECM utilizes the GM Hi-speed, Hybrid LAN communication circuit
* Each MCM and the HPCM exchange information and commands on the SPI bus internal
communication circuit as well as the hi-speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit.
* ATFP control module utilizes a dedicated diagnostic status circuit
In the event a hosted module communicates a fault condition, the HPCM will determine if hybrid
operation is effected and notify the vehicle operator by requesting the MIL illuminate and/or by
displaying a hybrid service required message. In addition, the HPCM will store the associated DTC
information for retrieval by a scan tool. Some hosted modules may require an ignition cycle to clear
certain DTCs from the HPCM.
Circuit Inputs
In addition to GMLAN parameters, the HPCM directly monitors the following signal circuits:
* Transmission shift selector internal mode switch (IMS) Direction and Park/Neutral switch signals
* Engine crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal
* ATFP diagnostic circuit
* High voltage interlock circuit (HVIC)
Circuit Outputs
In addition to GMLAN and SPI bus commands, the HPCM directly controls the following output
circuits:
* ATFP control circuit
* BECM high voltage contactor relay pulse width modulated (PWM) control circuit
Motor Control Module (MCM) 1 and 2
Location
Each electric motor generator located within the transmission assembly is controlled by its own
motor control module (MCM) flash-programmable, micro-processor. Each MCM is contained within
the PIM. Also contained within the PIM is the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM)
micro-processor.
Operating Functions
Each MCM operates the applicable electric motor generator based upon HPCM commands. Each
MCM controls the speed, direction and output torque of its respective traction motor through the
sequencing actuation of high current switching transistors called insulated gate bipolar transistors
(IGBTs).
Communication and Hosted Diagnostics
In addition to the internal SPI bus communication circuit between the HPCM and each MCM, the
MCMs also communicate on the Hi-speed and Hybrid GMLAN communication circuits. The MCM
does not store its own diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information. The HPCM will store MCM
associated DTC information for retrieval by a scan tool. The scan tool can communicate directly
with each MCM in order to retrieve data parameters only.
Circuit Inputs
In addition to GMLAN parameters, each MCM monitors its respective motor generator for voltage,
current, speed, direction and temperature. Additionally, the MCM monitors the IGBT components
for temperature and proper operation. Some of the MCM operation data is shared with the HPCM.
Circuit Outputs
Each MCM controls its respective IGBT driver board that in-turn controls each motor generator.
The motor generators operate using three-phase alternating current (AC) electricity. Three cables
connect each motor generator to the PIM. Each individually shielded cable is orange in color to
alert the technician that the potential for high voltage is present.

Information Bus: Description and Operation
Data Link Communications Description and Operation
Circuit Description
The communication among control modules is performed through the high speed GMLAN serial
data circuits and the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The modules that need real time
communication are attached to the High Speed GMLAN network. The body control module (BCM)
is the gateway between the high and low speed networks. Refer to Body Control System
Description and Operation (See: Body and Frame/Body Control Systems/Description and
Operation) for more information about the gateway.
Signal supervision is the process of determining whether an expected signal is being received or
not. Some messages are sent on a periodic basis and are interpreted as a heartbeat of a device. If
such a signal is lost, the signal supervision part of the software will set a no communication DTC
(U. code) against the missing device. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code against
the physical device. A lost communication DTC typically is set in modules other than the module
with a communication failure.
GMLAN High Speed Circuit Description
The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the high speed GMLAN
serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted on 2 twisted wires that allow speed up to 500 Kb/s.
The twisted pair is terminated with two 120-ohm resistors, one is internal to the engine control
module (ECM) and the other is after the electronic brake control module (EBCM), or if equipped,
the suspension control module. The high speed GMLAN is a differential bus. The high speed
GMLAN serial data bus (+) and high speed GMLAN serial data (-) are driven to opposite extremes
from a rest or idle level. The idle level, which is approximately 2.5 volts, is considered recessive
transmitted data and is interpreted as a logic 1. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds 1 volt to
the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and subtracts 1 volt from the high speed GMLAN serial
data bus (-) wire. If a communication signal is lost, the application will set a no communication code
against the respective control module. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code
against the physical device. Note: a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the
module that the code is set in.
The high speed GMLAN serial data allows communication between the body control module
(BCM), ECM, transmission control module (TCM), vehicle communication interface module (VCIM),
4WD control module, EBCM, and the suspension control module depending on RPO.
GMLAN Low Speed Circuit Description
The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the low speed GMLAN serial
data circuit. The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate control modules.
Under normal vehicle operating conditions, the speed of the buss is 33.33 Kb/s. This protocol
produces a simple pulse train sent out over the GMLAN low speed serial data bus. When a module
pulls the buss high, 5 volts, this creates a logic state of 0 on the buss. When the buss is pulled low,
0 volts, it is translated as a logic state of 1. To wake the control modules connected to the GMLAN
low speed serial data buss, a wake up signal is sent out over the buss. Modules connected to the
GMLAN low speed buss can be part of a virtual network as described in GMLAN High Speed
Circuit Description above. The modules on the GMLAN low speed serial data buss are connected
to the buss using several splice or "star" connectors separating groups of modules. The following
lists state the splices and modules connected to the low speed serial data circuits:
I/P Splice
* Data link connector (DLC), connected only to the instrument panel (I/P) splice
* Amplifier (Amp)
* Rear seat audio (RSA)
* Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
* Digital radio receiver (DRR)
* Inside rearview mirror module (ISRVM), connected through the mid I/P fuse block
* Instrument panel cluster (IPC)
* Body control module (BCM)
* Theft deterrent module (TDM)
* Heater ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
* Radio
* Driver door switch (DDS), connected through the left I/P fuse block
* Passenger door switch (PDS), connected through the right I/P fuse block
Body Splice
* Articulating running board module (ARBM)
* Ultrasonic park assist (UPA)
* Memory seat module (MSM)

achieved.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and

General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter and
the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow
than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump
located on the bottom of the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel
pump module reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the
correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow
check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed
pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking times.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in
removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to
installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper
readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY.
Notice
Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or
drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to
clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light
coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel
pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub.
Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage
Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse.
You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not
retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any
component suspected of damage.
Tip
Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged
BEFORE tightening the nut.
Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side
of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation.
Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque
Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid
additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown
for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in
order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off
center resulting in vibration.

Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

results from the alteration or modification of a vehicle using non-GM approved parts or accessories.
Dealers should be especially cautious of accessory companies that claim the installation of their
product will not void the factory warranty. Many times these companies have even given direction
on how to quickly disassemble the accessory in an attempt to preclude the manufacturer from
finding out that is has been installed.
Any suspect repairs should be reviewed by the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM), and in Canada
by the Warranty Manager (WM) for appropriate repair direction. If it is decided that a goodwill repair
is to be made on the vehicle, even with the installation of such non-GM approved components, the
customer is to be made aware of General Motors position on this issue and is to sign the
appropriate goodwill documentation required by General Motors.
It is imperative for dealers to understand that by installing such devices, they are jeopardizing not
only the warranty coverage, but also the performance and reliability of the customer's vehicle.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution
Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution
Caution: Contamination of the oxygen sensor can result from the use of an inappropriate RTV
sealant (not oxygen sensor safe) or excessive engine coolant or oil consumption. Remove the
HO2S and visually inspect the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream in order to
check for contamination. If contaminated, the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream
will have a white powdery coating. Silicon contamination causes a high but false HO2S signal
voltage (rich exhaust indication). The control module will then reduce the amount of fuel delivered
to the engine, causing a severe driveability problem. Eliminate the source of contamination before
replacing the oxygen sensor.

A2. The system was priced in several ways; as standard equipment, as a stand-alone option and
as part of an option package. We analyzed these scenarios and determined that $100 is an
appropriate estimate of the value of the feature.
Q3. How much will each customer receive?
A3. Customers will receive a $100 check from their servicing dealer within 30 days of recall
completion.
Q4. Why can't GM issue the checks?
A4. Due to their age, our original sales records will not reflect any subsequent vehicle transactions
or owner changes. Additionally, we don't have an in-house system that can handle this number of
checks. So we are depending on our dealers to help execute this safety recall.
Q5: When will customers be notified about having this feature disabled?
A5: Customers should begin receiving letters in the mail in mid-June. However, they can go to their
local dealer any time (even in advance of receiving a letter) to have the system disabled.
Q6. Are all of the VINs involved in this recall identified in the GWM-IVH (GMVIS2) application?
A6. Yes, all involved VINs have been updated for this recall.
Q7. How do I identify the current customer of record?
A7. For the purposes of this recall, the current customer of record is to be identified as the person
or company whose name appears on the vehicle's state registration document or other legally
recognized proof of vehicle ownership (unless specifically excluded). Prior to issuing the $100.00
check, please ensure the proof of ownership documentation has not expired and is otherwise valid.
Q8. What should I do if proof of vehicle ownership is not available?
A8. If proof of vehicle ownership documentation is not currently available or is otherwise invalid, the
$100 check should not be issued.
Q9. What if the customer objects to this policy?
A9. If valid proof of ownership documentation is not available, the decision not to issue the $100
check is correct. If the customer still disagrees, please refer him/her to the GM Customer
Assistance Center.
Q10. If a check is not issued, how should the recall claim be submitted?
A10. If a final determination is made not to issue a check, the $100 net item amount should not be
claimed. Only the labor cost for the repair should be submitted.
Q11. Can you provide examples of the various customer scenarios I can expect?
A11. Certainly, listed below are examples with the preferred resolution.
^ Retail Customer - Vehicle Purchased
Issue check to the customer at vehicle pickup if valid proof of vehicle ownership documentation is
available. All checks must include the complete 17 character Vehicle Identification Number.
^ Retail Customer - Vehicle Leased
Issue check to the customer at vehicle pickup (not GMAC or other financial institution) if valid proof
of vehicle ownership documentation is available.

When using the On-Car lathe on vehicles equipped with limited slip (or posi-trac) rear system, it is
critical that the rear drive shaft is disconnected/disengaged prior to operation of the On-Car lathe.
Remember to mark and re-index the drive shaft correctly on re-assembly to prevent creating
driveline vibration. Whenever the lathe drive motor is being switched on, the operator MUST keep
their body out of the wheel well area until the machine has reached its normal operating RPM.
2. Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces.
Important When raising the vehicle on the lift, be sure to have it at a good working height (waist
high is average) to accommodate mounting the On-Car lathe. Optimally, the center piston on the
lathe trolley will be mid-travel. If the lathe trolley center piston is completely compressed (bottoming
out) or inversely fully extended and hanging off the vehicle hub, this could affect the calibration time
of the lathe.
3. Select the correct adapter for the vehicle you're working on and mount it to the hub with the
vehicle lug nuts. Hand tighten 34-41 Nm (25-30 lb
ft) the nuts using equal torque. DO NOT use impact wrenches, excessive torque will damage the
adapter.
Important Ensure the adapter sits flush on the rotor hat surface. Be sure to remove any rust, rotor
retaining clips, etc. that may preclude the adapter from sitting flat on the mounting surface.
4. Connect the lathe to the adapter, turn on the lathe and activate the computer to compensate for
run-out in the hub.
5. Once the computer indicates the compensation process was successful, on the outboard area of
the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth
of an inch into the brake pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools into the rotor until they cut the
rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn.
6. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
7. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same
procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
8. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters
to the zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
9. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit
sandpaper to obtain a non-directional finish.
10. Dismount the lathe, but leave the lathe adapter attached to the vehicle.
6. Once the rotor has been properly machined, wash the rotor with soap and water (use a mild dish
washing soap) or wipe it clean with GM approved
brake cleaner, P/N 88862650 (Canadian P/N 88901247).
Important Thoroughly cleaning the rotor will prevent the possible transfer of finite metal dust left as
a by-product of machining to the pad material during the seating process, thus reducing the
opportunity for squeaks or other noises to occur.
7. ***Record the REFINISHED rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy. Refer
to the "Repair Order Documentation - Rotor
Refinish" section of this bulletin.
8. Setting up to measure for Lateral Run Out (LRO):
Important Measuring for Lateral Run Out (LRO) (steps 8 - 15) is no longer required however, these
steps are being left in the overall procedure as a good check to be performed in the case of a
repeat pulsation complaint. If you are not checking for LRO, go to step 16.
Bench-Type Lathe
1. Ensure that the mating surfaces of the rotor hat section and the hub mating surface are clean
and free of debris.
2. Mount the new, original or refinished rotor onto the vehicle hub.
Important Always hold the rotor on the bottom half so any debris that may be dislodged from the
vents will fall out instead of falling into the mounting area. Any movement or jarring from the rotor
falling over on the studs can release rust from the vents on the rotor.
3. Tilt the top of the rotor in towards the vehicle so you can see the studs and ease the rotor onto
the studs.

Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provide an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. The ignition
voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by
grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding
resistance that is too high or too low will affect the engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit
DTC may not set, but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by
temperature. The resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the
fuel injector increases.
When performing the fuel injector balance test, the scan tool is first used to energize the fuel pump
relay. The fuel injector tester or the scan tool is then used to pulse each injector for a precise
amount of time, allowing a measured amount of the fuel to be injected. This causes a drop in the
system fuel pressure that can be recorded and used to compare each injector.
Diagnostic Aids
* Monitoring the misfire current counters, or misfire graph, may help to isolate the fuel injector that
is causing the condition.
* Operating the vehicle over a wide temperature range may help isolate the fuel injector that is
causing the condition.
* Perform the fuel injector coil test within the conditions of the customer's concern. A fuel injector
condition may only be apparent at a certain temperature, or under certain conditions.

13. Use the tire changer in order to install the tire to the wheel.
Caution:
To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when
the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any
tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, lubricate
the beads and reinflate. Overinflating may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal
injury.
Important:
Allowable bead seating pressure is 345 kPa (50 psi) on Extended Mobility Tires.
14. Inflate the tire until it passes the bead humps. Be sure that the valve core is not installed at this
time.
15. Install the valve core to the valve core stem.
16. Inflate the tire to the proper air pressure.
17. Ensure that the locating rings are visible on both sides of the tire in order to verify that the tire
bead is fully seated on the wheel.

^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by
spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature
contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil
control circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). The ODM
output control is configured to operate as a low side driver for the powertrain relay. The ODM for
the powertrain relay also incorporates a fault detection circuit, which is continuously monitored by
the ECM. When the ECM commands the powertrain relay ON, ignition 1 voltage is supplied to the
ECM, and to several additional circuits.
Diagnostic Aids
This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely
charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See: Starting and Charging/Testing and

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
Engine Control Module Replacement
Service of the engine control module (ECM) should consist of either replacement of the ECM or
programming of the electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). If the
diagnostic procedures call for the ECM to be replaced, the replacement ECM should be checked to
ensure that the correct part is being used. If the correct part is being used, remove the faulty ECM
and install the new service ECM.
Caution:
* Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the control module connectors and
disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the control module (battery cable, powertrain control
module (PCM)/engine control module (ECM)/transaxle control module (TCM) pigtail, control
module fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal control module damage.
* Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT
contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using
battery booster cables, or when charging the vehicle battery.
* In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the control module, do no
touch the connector pins or the soldered components on the circuit board.
* Remove any debris from around the control module connector surfaces before servicing the
control module. Inspect the control module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the
control module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant
intrusion into the control module.
* The replacement control module must be programmed.
Note
It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programmed
with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100 percent. If the replacement
module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed
at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) from the last oil change.
Removal Procedure
1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine
oil life. 2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection

Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL 2008-2009 HUMMER H2
Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Technicians may find a DTC B0081 5A in some of the vehicles listed above. The sensing and
diagnostic module (SDM) is setting this DTC due to an issue with the messages in the software for
the SDM.
Technicians should check for DTCs while the ignition is in RUN. If DTC B0081 5A is set in history,
there is no need for any parts replacement. The only way this code is set in history is if the key is
left in ACC for more than 10 seconds. The passenger side tell tale airbag light in the cluster will
stay on solid until the key is in RUN or OFF. For example, the customer will have the car parked,
key in ACC and listening to the radio the light comes on and the DTC B0081 5A sets.
If you are checking the vehicle after this event, you will find DTC B0081 5A in history if the IGN is in
RUN.
If you turn the key to the ACC position for more than 10 seconds with the Tech 2(R) tool
connected, the code will be current as long as you are in the ACC position.
If the key is moved to RUN or OFF, the telltale light will go off and the code will go immediately to
history (reference to PIC4917 DTC B0081 5A In History).
This condition will only occur with the following passenger presence system (PPS) module part
numbers:
^ 25977948 (CK) (All)
^ 94216444 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92221553 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92219364 (G8) (Cloth)
Remember that any time the vehicle is brought into service that the customer could have operated
the vehicle in ACC for more than 10 seconds. This will cause the passenger side airbag light to
come on solid in the cluster. Please tell the customer that this is a normal operating characteristic.
If DTC B0081 5A is current while the ignition is in RUN, please check all connections and wiring.
Check the seat connector located on the right side under the sill plate in the door opening. Pull the
seat out of the vehicle and check for PPS wiring and make sure all connectors are connected.
ThePPS Module has two connections one for the seat harness and one for the sensor mat (the
sensor mat is located between the seat foam cushion and seat pan).
If other DTCs are current, follow the diagnostics in SI. (There are two SDM DTC s related to PPS:
B0081 71 - Passenger Presence System 1 Invalid Serial Data Received and U0170 - Lost
Communication With Restraints System Sensor A (PPS)).

General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
For more detailed information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 07-03-16-004C and TPMS
Training Course 13044.12T2.
Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.

TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 10-08-46-001
Date: January 27, 2010
Subject: Radio Does Not Mute Enough When OnStar(R) Turn-by Turn Navigation Directions Are
Announced (Increase Volume Setting or Request Soft Mute Feature Change Through OnStar(R)
Customer Service)
Models:
2009-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 2009
Saab 9-7X All Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
Condition
Some customers may comment that when the radio is on, it does not mute enough when the
OnStar(R) Turn-by-Turn Navigation directions are announced.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the customer improperly setting the radio volume high enough
when the Turn-by-Turn Navigation messages are played.
The 2009 and 2010 models with OnStar(R) initiates a "soft mute" feature when the radio is on
during Turn-by-Turn Navigation direction announcements. During the announcement, the radio can
still be heard at a very low volume. Previous model years initiated a "hard mute" during this
function which completely muted the radio audio.
Correction
Instruct the customer to increase the radio volume while getting the Turn-by-Turn Navigation
direction announcements. You can control the message volume using the radio volume control,
only when the Turn-by-Turn navigation messages are playing.
Some customers that were accustomed to previous model vehicles with the "hard mute" feature
may be dissatisfied with the function of the "soft mute" feature. For those customers, contact the
OnStar(R) Customer Service Center by pushing the Blue OnStar(R) Button to speak to a trained
Advisor and request a change be made to the vehicle from the "soft mute" setting to that of the
hard or complete muting of audio playback during Turn by Turn directions. OnStar(R) will then
create a case number. Advise the customer that the vehicle update should be completed Over the
Air within 5 business days, after which an OnStar(R) Customer Care advisor will follow-up with the
customer to verify the fix. If the customer does not hear back from OnStar(R) within a week, advise
them to press the Blue OnStar(R) Button and ask for Customer Care to check status.

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.
1999-2003 Model Year (Use Service Kit P/N 19207762)
1. Raise the vehicle. Suitably support the vehicle. 2. Disconnect the EVAP canister vent valve
electrical connector, if equipped. 3. Disengage the two vent valve pipe clips securing the pipe to the
underbody. Remove the clips from the underbody and discard. 4. Disconnect the vent valve pipe at

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-46-004
Date: August 14, 2008
Subject: Information on Aftermarket Device Interference with OnStar(R) Diagnostic Services
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

ATTENTION
The information found in this bulletin is to be used as a dealership service consultant procedures
for customers coming into the service lane with an illuminated "low tire light" or comments on a
check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message.
Maintaining proper tire pressures is an Owner's Maintenance item and is not covered under
warranty.
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update additional bulletin reference
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-03-16-002 (Section 03 -- Suspension).
Customer Concerns and Confusion with the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
The following procedure should be used by dealership service consultants when a customer comes
into the service drive with a "low tire light" on or comments on a check tire pressure/low tire
pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message. The service consultant should
perform the following steps:
Procedure
Turn the key to ON, without starting the engine.
^ If the low tire light comes on and stays on solid with a check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add
air to tire message (on vehicles equipped with DIC),
advise the customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Properly adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels and driving the vehicle will turn
the light off (refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
^ If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light blinks for one minute then stays on solid with a service
tire monitor system message (on vehicles equipped
with DIC):
- A TPM system problem exists. The vehicle should be written up accordingly and sent to your
service department for further DTC diagnosis and service.
- If dashes (--) are displayed in only one or two of the tire pressure readouts, it is likely caused by a
previous TPM system relearn that was performed incorrectly due to interference from another
vehicle's TPM system during the relearn process (refer to the Important statement later in this
bulletin regarding TPM relearn with a Tech 2(R)).
- If dashes (--) are displayed in all four of the tire pressure readouts, there is a system problem.
Follow the appropriate SI service procedures.
^ If a customer indicates the low tire light comes on for a few minutes when the vehicle is started,
then goes off after driving a while, advise the
customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Most likely, air pressure in one or more of the tires is low enough to turn the light on when tires
are cold. After driving for a while, tires will heat

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Date: June 22, 2009
Subject: Bumps or Rust Colored Spots in Paint Due to Rail or Iron Dust (Remove Rail Dust)
Models:
1994-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2010 HUMMER H2

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 05-08-51-008B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Visible rust colored spots or bumps on a vehicle's paint surface from rail or iron dust.
Cause
Rail dust comes from tiny iron particles produced from the friction between train wheels and the
tracks and gets deposited on the vehicle surfaces. Iron dust can get deposited on the surface if the
vehicle is stored near any operation producing iron dust such as an iron ore yard. Either material
can lay on top of, or become embedded in, the paint surface.
Correction
Because the severity of the condition varies, proper diagnosis of the damage is critical to the
success of repairs. Diagnosis should be performed on horizontal surfaces (hood, roof, deck lid, pick
up box, etc.) after the vehicle has been properly cleaned. There are two types of repair materials
recommended to repair rail dust or iron dust:
1. GEL TYPE OXALIC ACID:
- Has the characteristics of the liquid type oxalic acid but stays where you put it because of its gel
consistency.
2. CLAY TYPE NON-ACID BASED:
- Requires surface lubricant during use. - Has different grades available.
Caution
Rail dust remover (Oxalic Acid) is an acidic substance containing chemicals that will break down
the iron particles embedded in the finish. When working with rail dust remover, use the necessary
safety equipment, including gloves and goggles. Follow the chemical manufacturer's directions
closely because it may require special handling and disposal.
If, upon inspection, some particles are still present, the various chemical manufacturer's processes
can be repeated.
After the removal process, small pits may remain in the clearcoat and can be corrected, in most
cases, with a finesse/polish operation.
Procedure
1. Move the vehicle to a cool shaded area and make sure that the vehicle surfaces are cool during
the removal process. DO NOT PERFORM THE
REMOVAL PROCESS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR ON A VEHICLE WITH HOT OR WARM BODY
PANELS.
2. Wash the vehicle with soap and water. Dry it immediately and clean the affected areas with a
wax and grease remover. 3. Perform the removal process according to the chemical
manufacturer's directions.
Once the damage has been repaired, the final step involves a polishing process.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.

Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

can be sanded or polished off.
* Inspect the wheel for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the wheel.
* ALL wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished.
* The re-machining and the re-clear coating of aluminum wheels is not recommended in the dealer
environment due to concerns of repair durability.
* Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the dimensions
and function of the wheel.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing General Recommendations/Options
* Painted aluminum wheels use a primer, color coat, and clearcoat procedure. If the paint is
damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original coatings must be removed
first. Media blasting is recommended. (See option number 1).
* If the clearcoat is damaged, it is possible to refinish with clearcoat only, however, the required
refinishing process cannot be performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinishers
Responsibility (Repair option number 2).
* Re-plating of chrome-plated aluminum wheels is not recommended.
Repair Option Number 1
Material Required/Information Resources
* The Paint Manufacturer's Color Book
* Refer to the latest GM Approved Refinish Materials Booklet (GM 4901 MD-2005) for specific
products for aluminum refinishing.
* To access the booklet, go to www.gmgoodwrench.com. Click on GM Collision Parts. Click on GM
Technical Repair Information, select Paint Shop.
* A Color Compatibility chart is also at this site defining what colors are used on what models.
Note
Chemical strippers are not recommended.
* Refer to specific Paint Manufacturers for refinish procedures and process pertaining to "Aluminum
Refinishing". The procedure requires the wheel surface to be plastic media blasted to remove old
paint or clearcoat.
General Color Selection
* If the wheels being painted were previously clearcoated aluminum, and a painted aluminum look
is desired, using Corsican Silver WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look, or Sparkle Silver
WA9967 for a very bright look. Body color is another option to the customer that may also be used.
* Some specific colors may be recommended on certain models.
* If painting wheels that were previously clearcoated aluminum, it is recommended that all 4 wheels
and their center caps be refinished to maintain color uniformity.
General Refinishing Procedures - Removal
1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle. The tires may remain mounted on the wheels. 2. Remove
the balance weights and mark their locations on the tire. 3. Remove excess grease, etc. from the
wheels with wax and grease remover. 4. Have the wheels plastic media blasted to remove the
clearcoat.
Note
MASK OFF ALL MOUNTING SURFACES, whenever a wheel is refinished. The mounting surface
and the wheel nut contact surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these surfaces
could affect the wheel nut torque.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B
Date: November 18, 2010
Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Warning
Restraint systems can be damaged in a collision. To help avoid injury and ensure that all parts in
need of replacement are replaced:
* Replace any seat belt system that was in use during the collision serious enough to deploy any
automatic restraint device such as air bags and seat belt pretensioners. This not only includes seat
belt systems in use by people of adult size, but seat belt systems used to secure child restraints,
infant carriers and booster seats, including LATCH system and top tether anchorages.
* Replace any seat belt system that has torn, worn, or damaged components. This not only
includes adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints and LATCH system components, if any.
* Replace any seat belt system if you observe the words "REPLACE" or "CAUTION", or if a yellow
tag is visible. Do not replace a seat belt if only the child seat caution label is visible.
* Replace any seat belt system if you are doubtful about its condition. This not only includes adult
seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints, LATCH system components, and any restraint
system used to secure infant carriers, child restraints, and booster seats. Do NOT replace single
seat belt system components in vehicles that have been in a collision as described above. Always
replace the entire seat belt system with the buckle, guide and retractor assembly, which includes
the latch and webbing material.
After a minor collision where no automatic restraint device was deployed, seat belt system
replacement may not be necessary, unless some of the parts are torn, worn, or damaged.

Question and Answer Section
Question and Answer Section
Q1. Why are we compensating customers for a recall?
A1. This is a special case where we are not confident a repair would work. This is why we are
removing this feature from the vehicle. Compensating the current customer of record for this loss is
an appropriate gesture.
Q2. What is the original cost of the Heated Washer Fluid System?
A2. The system was priced in several ways; as standard equipment, as a stand-alone option and
as part of an option package. We analyzed these scenarios and determined that $100 is an
appropriate estimate of the value of the feature.
Q3. How much will each customer receive?
A3. Customers will receive a $100 check from their servicing dealer within 30 days of recall
completion.
Q4. Why can't GM issue the checks?
A4. Due to their age, our original sales records will not reflect any subsequent vehicle transactions
or owner changes. Additionally, we don't have an in-house system that can handle this number of
checks. So we are depending on our dealers to help execute this safety recall.
Q5: When will customers be notified about having this feature disabled?
A5: Customers should begin receiving letters in the mail in mid-June. However, they can go to their
local dealer any time (even in advance of receiving a letter) to have the system disabled.
Q6. Are all of the VINs involved in this recall identified in the GWM-IVH (GMVIS2) application?
A6. Yes, all involved VINs have been updated for this recall.
Q7. How do I identify the current customer of record?
A7. For the purposes of this recall, the current customer of record is to be identified as the person
or company whose name appears on the vehicle's state registration document or other legally
recognized proof of vehicle ownership (unless specifically excluded). Prior to issuing the $100.00
check, please ensure the proof of ownership documentation has not expired and is otherwise valid.
Q8. What should I do if proof of vehicle ownership is not available?
A8. If proof of vehicle ownership documentation is not currently available or is otherwise invalid, the

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.

- Support the GM Oil Life System, thereby minimizing the replacement of engine oil, before its life
has been depleted.
- Reduce the duplication of requirements for a large number of internal GM engine oil
specifications.
International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
GF-5 Standard
In addition to GM dexos 1(TM), a new International Lubricants Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) standard called GF-5, was introduced in October 2010.
- There will be a corresponding API category, called: SN Resource Conserving. The current GF-4
standard was put in place in 2004 and will become obsolete in October 2011. Similar to dexos
1(TM), the GF-5 standard will use a new fuel economy test, Sequence VID, which demands a
statistically significant increase in fuel economy versus the Sequence VIB test that was used for
GF-4.
- It is expected that all dexos 1(TM) approved oils will be capable of meeting the GF-5 standard.
However, not all GF-5 engine oils will be capable of meeting the dexos 1(TM) specification.
- Like dexos(TM), the new ILSAC GF-5 standard will call for more sophisticated additives. The API
will begin licensing marketers during October 2010, to produce and distribute GF-5 certified
products, which are expected to include SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 oils.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Requirements Effect on Fuel Economy
Since CAFE standards were first introduced in 1974, the fuel economy of cars has more than
doubled, while the fuel economy of light trucks has increased by more than 50 percent. Proposed
CAFE standards call for a continuation of increased fuel economy in new cars and trucks. To meet
these future requirements, all aspects of vehicle operation are being looked at more critically than
ever before.
New technology being introduced in GM vehicles designed to increase vehicle efficiency and fuel
economy include direct injection, cam phasing, turbocharging and active fuel management (AFM).
The demands of these new technologies on engine oil also are taken into consideration when
determining new oil specifications. AFM for example can help to achieve improved fuel economy.
However alternately deactivating and activating the cylinders by not allowing the intake and
exhaust valves to open contributes to additional stress on the engine oil.
Another industry trend for meeting tough fuel economy mandates has been a shift toward lower
viscosity oils.
dexos 1(TM) will eventually be offered in several viscosity grades in accordance with engine needs:
SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30 and 5W-30.
Using the right viscosity grade oil is critical for proper engine performance. Always refer to the
Maintenance section of a vehicle Owner Manual for the proper viscosity grade for the engine being
serviced.
GM Oil Life System in Conjunction With dexos (TM) Supports Extended Oil Change Intervals
To help conserve oil while maintaining engine protection, many GM vehicles are equipped with the
GM Oil Life System. This system can provide oil change intervals that exceed the traditional 3,000
mile (4,830 km) recommendation.
The dexos (TM) specification, with its requirements for improved oil robustness, compliments the
GM Oil Life System by supporting extended oil change intervals over the lifetime of a vehicle.
If all GM customers with GM Oil Life System equipped vehicles would use the system as intended,
GM estimates that more than 100 million gallons of oil could be saved annually.

Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).

Wheel Alignment Measurement
Alignment: Service and Repair Wheel Alignment Measurement
Wheel Alignment Measurement
Steering and vibration complaints are not always the result of improper alignment. One possible
cause is wheel and tire imbalance. Another possibility is tire lead due to worn or improperly
manufactured tires. Lead/pull is defined as follows: At a constant highway speed on a typical
straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle's straight path. Lead is the vehicle deviation from a straight path on a level road without
pressure on the steering wheel. Refer to Radial Tire Lead/Pull Correction (See: Wheels and
Tires/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Radial Tire Lead/Pull
Correction) in order to determine if the vehicle has a tire lead problem.
Before performing any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, perform the following inspections in
order to ensure correct alignment readings:
* Inspect for visuable damage to the suspension components and replace as necessary.
* Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. Refer to Vehicle Certification, Tire
Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label (See: Application and ID) andTire Diagnosis Irregular or Premature Wear (See: Wheels and Tires/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures/Tire Diagnosis - Irregular or Premature Wear) .
* Inspect the runout of the wheels and the tires. Refer to Tire and Wheel Runout Specifications
(See: Body and Frame/Testing and Inspection/Vibration Diagnosis and
Correction/Specifications/Tire and Wheel Runout Specifications) .
* Inspect the wheel bearings for backlash and excessive play. Refer to Wheel Bearings Diagnosis
(See: Suspension/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Wheel
Bearings Diagnosis) .
* Inspect the ball joints for looseness or wear.
* Inspect the tie rod ends for looseness or wear.
* Inspect the control arms and stabilizer shaft for looseness or wear.
* Inspect the steering gear for looseness at the frame. Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications
(See: Steering/Specifications) .
* Inspect the struts/shock absorbers for wear, leaks, and any noticeable noises. Refer to
Suspension Strut and Shock Absorber Testing - On Vehicle (See: Suspension/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Suspension Strut and Shock Absorber
Testing - On Vehicle) .
* Inspect the vehicle trim height. Refer to Trim Height Inspection (See: Suspension/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Trim Height Inspection) .
* Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to stiff or rusted linkage or
suspension components.
* Inspect the fuel level. The fuel tank should be full or the vehicle should have a compensating load
added.
Give consideration to excess loads, such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. If normally carried in
the vehicle, these items should remain in the vehicle during alignment adjustments. Give
consideration also to the condition of the equipment being used for the alignment. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment settings. However, if the
setting exceeds the service allowable specifications, correct the alignment to the service preferred
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications (See: Specifications) .
Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles:
1. Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front
and the rear bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment
angles and record the readings.
Note
* Record the "Before" and "After" alignment measurements.
* When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear toe
adjustment first in order to obtain proper front alignment angles.
* The rear camber and caster is not adjustable.
4. Adjust alignment angles to vehicle specification, if necessary. Refer to Wheel Alignment
Specifications (See: Specifications) .

TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 10-06-01-008B
Date: March 07, 2011
Subject: Engine Oil Consumption on Aluminum Block Engines with Active Fuel Management (AFM)
(Install AFM Oil Deflector and Clean Carbon from Cylinder)
Models:
2007-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche,
Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe 2007-2009 GMC Sierra 1500, Sierra Denali, Yukon, Yukon XL,
Yukon Denali, Yukon Denali XL 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 GT Equipped with Aluminum Block V8
Engine with Active Fuel Management (AFM) (RPOs LC9, LH6, L76, LFA, L92) with Greater than
45,000 km (28,000 mi)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year and new Correction
information for the 2009 model year - left rocker arm cover replacement. Information has also been
added after step 9. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-01-008A (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment about engine oil consumption of vehicles with higher mileage
(approximately 48,000 to 64,000 km (30,000 to 40,000 mi). Verify that the induction system is
assembled correctly and that there is no evidence that the engine has been ingesting dirty air due
to a mis-assembled induction system. Also verify that the PCV system is functioning properly. If
diagnostic procedures indicate that oil consumption is piston /piston ring related, verify that oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart. If these conditions are met and oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart, perform the service indicated in this
bulletin.
Cause
This condition may be caused by oil spray that is discharged from the AFM pressure relief valve
within the crankcase. Under most driving conditions and drive cycles, the discharged oil does not
cause a problem. Under certain drive cycles (extended high engine speed operation), in
combination with parts at the high end of their tolerance specification, the oil spray quantity may be
more than usual, resulting in excessive deposit formation in the piston ring grooves, causing
increased oil consumption.
Correction
2009 Vehicles Only
Important This left rocker arm cover is NOT to be used on 2007-2008 vehicles because of the
calibration of the PCV orifice being different in 2007-2008.
A new left rocker arm cover has been released for 2009 engines. Technicians should replace the
left rocker arm cover with GM P/N 12642655. This rocker arm cover has relocated PCV drain holes
that prevents PCV pullover into the intake manifold. Refer to SI for Valve Rocker Arm Cover
Replacement - Left Side.
2008-2007 Vehicles Only
To correct this condition, perform the piston cleaning procedure as described in this document, and
install a shield over the AFM pressure relief valve per the procedure outlined in this document.
Monitor oil consumption after this repair to ensure oil consumption has improved to acceptable
levels. If this repair does not correct the condition, it may be necessary to replace the piston
assemblies (piston and rings) with new parts.
Important It is critical in this cleaning process that the engine/fuel injector cleaner remain in the
cylinders for a minimum of 2.5 hours to fully clean the components. The cleaner solution must be
removed before a maximum of three hours.
1. Verify the oil consumption concern following Corporate Bulletin Number 01-06-01-011F. If oil
consumption is found, continue on with this
bulletin.
2. Remove the spark plugs and ensure that none of the pistons are at top dead center (TDC). 3.
Clean the pistons by putting 118-147 ml (4-5 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, GM
P/N 88861802 (in Canada, use 88861804), in
each cylinder. Allow the material to soak for at least 2.5-3.0 hours, but no more than three hours
and then remove the cleaner. A suggested method

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Power
Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003
Date: May 12, 2008
Subject: Warranty Reduction - Transfer of Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors to
Replacement Wheels and Allowable TPM Sensor Replacements
Models: 2000-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009

with On-Wheel TPM Sensors
TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

If the brake rotor assembled LRO exceeds the specification, refinish the rotor to ensure true
parallelism, refer toBrake Rotor Refinishing (See: Brake Rotor Refinishing) . After refinishing the
rotor, proceed to step 14.
14. Mount a dial indicator,J-45101 - Hub and Wheel Runout Gage , or equivalent, to the steering
knuckle and position the indicator button so it
contacts the brake rotor friction surface at a 90 degree angle, approximately 13 mm (0.5 in) from
the outer edge of the rotor.
15. Measure and record the assembled LRO of the brake rotor.
1. Rotate the rotor until the lowest reading is displayed on the indicator dial, then set the dial to
zero. 2. Rotate the rotor until the highest reading is displayed on the dial. 3. Mark the location of the
high spot relative to the nearest wheel stud, or studs. 4. Measure and record the amount of LRO.
16. Compare the brake rotor assembled LRO to the following specification:
Brake rotor maximum allowable assembled lateral runout: 0.05 mm (0.002 in)
Brake rotor maximum allowable assembled lateral runout: 0.13 mm (0.005 in)
17. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement exceeds the specification, bring the LRO to
within specifications. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Correction (See: Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction) .
18. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement is within specification, install the brake caliper
and depress the brake pedal several times to secure
the rotor in place before removing the J-45101-100 - Conical Brake Rotor Washers and the lug
nuts.

Special Tools
* J-41013 - Rotor Resurfacing Kit
* J-42450-A - Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit
Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety
Information/Brake Dust Warning) .
Note
* The disc brake rotors do not require refinishing as part of routine brake system service. New disc
brake rotors do not require refinishing. Do not refinish disc brake rotors in an attempt to correct the
following conditions:
- Brake system noise - squeal, growl, groan
- Uneven and/or premature disc brake pad wear
- Superficial or cosmetic corrosion/rust of the disc brake rotor friction surface
- Scoring of the disc brake rotor friction surface less than the maximum allowable specification
* Before refinishing a brake rotor, the rotor MUST first be checked for adequate thickness to allow
the rotor to be refinished and remain above the minimum allowable thickness after refinish
specification. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Thickness
Measurement) . Disc brake rotors should only be refinished if they have adequate thickness to be
refinished and if one or more of the following conditions exist:
- Thickness variation in excess of the maximum allowable specification
- Excessive corrosion/rust and/or pitting
- Cracks and/or heat spots
- Excessive blueing discoloration
- Scoring of the disc brake rotor surface in excess of the maximum allowable specification
* Disc brake rotors may need to be refinished as part of the process for correcting brake rotor
assembled lateral runout (LRO) that exceeds the maximum allowable specification.
Note
If the vehicle is equipped with cross-drilled rotors, use a lathe with positive rake tooling. This setup
requires less cutting pressure, which will result in less vibration, and a better surface finish. Also,
use a vibration dampener when cutting. Otherwise, refinish according to the following instructions.
Note
Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, clean any rust or
contaminants from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may
result in increased assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead to brake
pulsation.

Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009
HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 Equipped with V8 Gas Powered Engines Only
Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.
Page 10433
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year and new Correction
information for the 2009 model year - left rocker arm cover replacement. Information has also been
added after step 9. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-01-008A (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment about engine oil consumption of vehicles with higher mileage
(approximately 48,000 to 64,000 km (30,000 to 40,000 mi). Verify that the induction system is
assembled correctly and that there is no evidence that the engine has been ingesting dirty air due
to a mis-assembled induction system. Also verify that the PCV system is functioning properly. If
diagnostic procedures indicate that oil consumption is piston /piston ring related, verify that oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart. If these conditions are met and oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart, perform the service indicated in this
bulletin.
Cause
This condition may be caused by oil spray that is discharged from the AFM pressure relief valve
within the crankcase. Under most driving conditions and drive cycles, the discharged oil does not
cause a problem. Under certain drive cycles (extended high engine speed operation), in
combination with parts at the high end of their tolerance specification, the oil spray quantity may be
more than usual, resulting in excessive deposit formation in the piston ring grooves, causing
increased oil consumption.
Correction
2009 Vehicles Only
Important This left rocker arm cover is NOT to be used on 2007-2008 vehicles because of the
calibration of the PCV orifice being different in 2007-2008.
A new left rocker arm cover has been released for 2009 engines. Technicians should replace the
left rocker arm cover with GM P/N 12642655. This rocker arm cover has relocated PCV drain holes
that prevents PCV pullover into the intake manifold. Refer to SI for Valve Rocker Arm Cover
Replacement - Left Side.
2008-2007 Vehicles Only
To correct this condition, perform the piston cleaning procedure as described in this document, and
install a shield over the AFM pressure relief valve per the procedure outlined in this document.
Monitor oil consumption after this repair to ensure oil consumption has improved to acceptable
levels. If this repair does not correct the condition, it may be necessary to replace the piston
assemblies (piston and rings) with new parts.
Important It is critical in this cleaning process that the engine/fuel injector cleaner remain in the
cylinders for a minimum of 2.5 hours to fully clean the components. The cleaner solution must be
removed before a maximum of three hours.
1. Verify the oil consumption concern following Corporate Bulletin Number 01-06-01-011F. If oil
consumption is found, continue on with this
bulletin.
2. Remove the spark plugs and ensure that none of the pistons are at top dead center (TDC). 3.
Clean the pistons by putting 118-147 ml (4-5 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, GM
P/N 88861802 (in Canada, use 88861804), in
each cylinder. Allow the material to soak for at least 2.5-3.0 hours, but no more than three hours
and then remove the cleaner. A suggested method

maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure to adhere to these precautions could lead
to serious personal injury and vehicle damage.
Burnishing the brake pads and brake rotors is necessary in order to ensure that the braking
surfaces are properly prepared after service has been performed on the disc brake system.
This procedure should be performed whenever the disc brake rotors have been refinished or
replaced, and/or whenever the disc brake pads have been replaced.
1. Select a smooth road with little or no traffic. 2. Accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph).
Note
Use care to avoid overheating the brakes while performing this step.
3. Using moderate to firm pressure, apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Do not allow the
brakes to lock. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until approximately 20 stops have been completed. Allow
sufficient cooling periods between stops in order to properly
burnish the brake pads and rotors.
Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction
Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction
Note
* Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout
(LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation.
Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Thickness Variation
Measurement) .
* Brake rotor assembled lateral runout (LRO) exceeding the maximum allowable specification can
cause thickness variation to develop in the brake rotor over time, usually between 4,800-11,300 km
(3,000-7,000 mi). Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor
Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement) .
Review the following acceptable methods for bringing the brake rotor assembled LRO to within
specifications. Determine which method to use for the specific vehicle being repaired.
* The indexing method of correcting assembled LRO is most effective when the LRO specification
is only exceeded by a relatively small amount: 0.025-0.127 mm (0.001-0.005 in). Indexing is used
to achieve the best possible match of high spots to low spots between related components. Refer
to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing) .
* The on-vehicle brake lathe method is used to bring the LRO to within specifications through
compensating for LRO while refinishing the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Correction - On Vehicle Lathe (See: Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction On Vehicle Lathe) .
If the assembled LRO cannot be corrected using these methods, then other components must be
suspected as causing and/or contributing to the LRO concern.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle. 2. Go to: Diagnostics and build the vehicle. 3. Select:
Powertrain. 4. Select: Engine. 5. *Select: Engine Control Module or PCM. 6. *Select: Module ID
Information or I/M Information System if the Module ID Information selection is not available. 7. *If
"I/M information System" was selected, it may be necessary to select "Vehicle Information" in order
to display the calibration information.
‹› If the CVN information is displayed as "N/A", it will be necessary to contact the TCSC to obtain
the CVN information.

Caution
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check-Vehicle. 2. Identify the DTC that is set AND review the
DTC Descriptor in the corresponding diagnostic procedure. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC)
List-Vehicle in SI.
3. Using the information from the DTC Descriptor, determine the location of the affected electrical
connector. Refer to SIR Identification Views and
the Master Electrical Component List in SI.
4. Turn OFF the ignition and disable the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to
SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI. 5. BEFORE removing, INSPECT the CPA retainer at the
electrical connector.
Note The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other.
Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the
shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
‹› If the CPA retainer is loose, damaged, or will not seat in the connector, replace it with a new one.
Reinstall the CPA correctly by first pushing
the connector body in completely, and then pushing the CPA retainer in completely.
‹› If the CPA retainer is not loose or damaged and is properly seated, proceed to Step 6.
6. Remove the CPA retainer and disconnect the electrical connector. Inspect the terminals for the
following conditions:
- Corrosion
- Contamination
- Terminal tension
- Damage
Important The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating
provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. Use the J-38125
SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit for repairing SIR/SRS terminals and connectors. DO NOT substitute
any other terminals for those in the repair kit.
‹› If the terminals are damaged, corrosion is observed, or have poor tension, repair or replace as
necessary. Apply dielectric grease, GM P/N
12345579 (in Canada, use P/N 10953481) on the connector pins and terminals when
reassembling. Refer to SIR/SRS Wiring Repairs in SI.
Note The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other.
Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the
shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
7. Connect the electrical connector, and install the CPA retainer. 8. Enable the supplemental
inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI. 9. Clear the DTC with a
scan tool.
10. Verify that the DTC does not reset by performing the Diagnostic Repair Verification in SI.
‹› If any DTC resets, then refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in SI.
Parts Information
Note
If the CPA retainer P/N 54590003 (Orange CPA) cannot be located in the J-38125 SIR/SRS

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to communicate feedback received from engineering
information and add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-64-012B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

Attention:
This bulletin should be distributed and reviewed by the Service Manager and Service Advisors. A
copy of this bulletin may be given to your customer to assist in explaining the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter operation.
This bulletin provides information regarding any remote keyless entry/transmitter (key fob) that may
be inoperative intermittently or in which a particular button(s) does not work.
To prevent transmitter battery drain, the RKE transmitter will disable any button or buttons that are
depressed longer than 30 seconds. The disabled button or buttons will remain disabled until
another button that has not been disabled is pressed.
If a button or buttons on a transmitter are not functioning, or if a transmitter cannot be programmed
to a vehicle, press and release each and every button on the fob one at a time until you find one
that works then retest the other buttons. If all buttons are now working, the button(s) were disabled
and the transmitter is working as designed.
If the transmitter still fails to function properly, use the J-43241 tester and follow normal diagnostics
as shown in SI.

Correction
Important DO NOT replace the control module, wiring or component for the following conditions:
- The condition is intermittent and cannot be duplicated.
- The condition is present and by disconnecting and reconnecting the connector the condition can
no longer be duplicated.
Use the following procedure to correct the conditions listed above.
1. Install a scan tool and perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle. Retrieve and record any
existing history or current DTCs from all of the
control modules (refer to SI).
‹› If any DTC(s) are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle to identify the
connector(s) of the control module/component
which may be causing the condition (refer to SI).
‹› If DTCs are not set, refer to Symptoms - Vehicle to identify the connector(s) of the control
module/component which may be causing the
condition (refer to SI).
2. When identified, use the appropriate DTC Diagnostics, Symptoms, Schematics, Component
Connector End Views and Component Locator
documents to locate and disconnect the affected harness connector(s) which are causing the
condition.
Note Fretting corrosion looks like little dark smudges on electrical terminals and appear where the
actual electrical contact is being made. In less severe cases it may be unable to be seen or
identified without the use of a magnifying glass.
Important DO NOT apply an excessive amount of dielectric lubricant to the connectors as shown,
as hydrolock may result when attempting to mate the connectors. Use ONLY a clean nylon brush
that is dedicated to the repair of the conditions in this bulletin.
3. With a one-inch nylon bristle brush, apply dielectric lubricant to both the module/component side
and the harness side of the affected connector(s).
4. Reconnect the affected connector(s) and wipe away any excess lubricant that may be present.
5. Attempt to duplicate the condition by using the following information:
- DTC Diagnostic Procedure
- Circuit/System Description
- Conditions for Running the DTC
- Conditions for Setting the DTC
- Diagnostic Aids
- Circuit/System Verification
‹› If the condition cannot be duplicated, the repair is complete. ‹› If the condition can be duplicated,
then follow the appropriate DTC, Symptom or Circuit/System Testing procedure (refer to SI).

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the
longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design
connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some

Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the
longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design
connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.
1. Disconnect the connector from the component.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command

Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.
1. Access and remove the seat bolts/nuts. 2. Adjust the seat rearward about halfway. Adjust the
seat recline full forward. 3. Tilt the seat backward to access the bottom of the seat. Prop the seat

Bulletin Number 01-08-42-001G (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The following information is being provided to better define the causes of condensation in exterior
lamps and includes guidelines for determining the difference between a lamp with a normal
atmospheric condition (condensation) and a lamp with a water leak.
Some exterior lamps, such as cornering, turn signal, backup, headlamps or tail lamps may exhibit
very small droplets of water, a fine mist or white fog (condensation) on the inside of the lamp lens.
This may be more noticeable on lamps with "multi-lens" designs and may be normal during certain
weather conditions.
Condensation occurs when the air inside the lamp assembly, through atmospheric changes,
reaches the "dew point". When this takes place, the moisture in the air within the lamp assembly
condenses, creating a fine mist or white fog on the inside surface of the lamp lens.
Most exterior lamps on General Motors vehicles use a vented design and feature a replaceable
bulb assembly. They are designed to remove any accumulated moisture vapor by expelling it
through a vent system. The vent system operates at all times, however, it is most effective when
the lamps are ON or when the vehicle is in motion. Depending on the size, shape and location of
the lamp on the vehicle, and the atmospheric conditions occurring, the amount of time required to
clear the lamp may vary from 2 to 6 hours.
Completely sealed headlamp assemblies (sealed beams) are still used on a limited number of
models being manufactured today. These lamps require the replacement of the complete lamp
assembly if a bulb filament burns out.
Condensation 2006 TrailBlazer Shown
A Fine Mist or White Fog on the Inside Surface of the Lamp Lens Occurring After a Period of High
Humidity
- May be located primarily in the lens corners (near the vents) and SHOULD NOT cover more than
half the lens surface.
- The condition should clear of moisture when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment, or when
the vehicle is driven with the lights ON.
- A comparison of the equivalent lamp on the opposing side of the vehicle indicates a SIMILAR
performance.
If the above conditions are noted, the customer should be advised that replacement of a lamp
assembly may not correct this condition.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle. 2. Go to: Diagnostics and build the vehicle. 3. Select:
Powertrain. 4. Select: Engine. 5. *Select: Engine Control Module or PCM. 6. *Select: Module ID
Information or I/M Information System if the Module ID Information selection is not available. 7. *If
"I/M information System" was selected, it may be necessary to select "Vehicle Information" in order
to display the calibration information.
‹› If the CVN information is displayed as "N/A", it will be necessary to contact the TCSC to obtain
the CVN information.

Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (with Special Tool)
Description
Water contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation,
stalling, no start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water may collect near a single fuel injector
at the lowest point in the fuel injection system, and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel
system is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust or deterioration.
Ethanol concentrations of greater than 10 percent can cause driveability conditions and fuel system
deterioration. Fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol could result in driveability conditions such as
hesitation, lack of power, stalling , or no start. Excessive concentrations of ethanol used in vehicles
not designed for it may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, and fuel
filter restriction.
Test Procedure
1. Test the fuel composition usingJ 44175 Fuel Composition Tester and J44175-3 Instruction
Manual. 2. Subtract 50 from the reading on the DMM in order to obtain the percentage of alcohol in
the fuel sample. Refer to the examples in the Fuel
Composition Test Examples table.
3. If the fuel sample contains more than 15 percent ethanol, add fresh, regular gasoline to the
vehicle's fuel tank . 4. Test the fuel composition. 5. If testing shows the ethanol percentage is still
more than 15 percent, replace the fuel in the vehicle.

Bulletin Number 07-08-49-014 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment that a "Park Assist Off" message is appearing on the Driver
Information center (DIC) at times.
There are several factors listed above that can cause this message to appear. A Tech 2 can be
used to access the latest entry into the Park Assist Module history buffer to help determine a
cause.
Engineering has received multiple inhibited Rear park Assist Modules through warranty parts return
with attached object stored in the latest history buffer. If a vehicle has a trailer hitch installed into
the trailer hitch receiver, it is possible for the rear park assist to be disabled. Once the trailer hitch is
removed, the message should go away. Other possible causes may be dirty sensors. Keep the
rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
Important:
Please note that any object that is installed in the receiver hitch, extending from the rear of the
vehicle, or blocking the sensors can disable the Parking Assist, resulting in the message "Park
Assist Off". Please remove the object or obstruction from the vehicle to re-enable the system. This
is normal operation of the system.

Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution) .
Note
* Ensure the flat of the valve, lines up with the flats of the snap in the enclosure.
* TPM valves and TORX screws are one-time use only.
1. Assemble the tire pressure sensor (2) to the valve stem and install the new TORX screw (3) and
tighten to 1.3 Nm (11.5 lb in) .
Note
Use and approved tire mounting lubricant. DO NOT use silicon or corrosive base compounds to
lubricate the tire bead and the wheel rim. A corrosive type compound can cause tire or rim
deterioration.
2. Apply tire soap to the rubber portion of the valve stem (1).
3. Using a tire valve stem mounting tool, pull the valve stem through in a direction parallel to the
valve hole on the rim.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Sunroof / Moonroof Drain: Procedures
Sunroof Drain Inspection and Cleaning
Drain Hose Routing
Note
If the headliner is wet DO NOT remove any interior trim. Do the Plugged Drain Hose test first.
A drain trough encircles the sunroof window panel and water is drained off by the drain hoses
located at each corner of the housing. A drain channel spans across the sunroof module at the rear
of the window panel and directs water into the trough.
1. The front drain hoses are routed down the windshield pillars and out the center of the pillar
between the door hinges. The front hoses are installed
in a rubber grommet and retained by clips.
2. The rear drain hoses are routed through the rear pillars and out of the rocker panel. In some
vehicle the drain hoses are routed out through the
metal roof slots and routed to the lower wheelhouse to drain out of the vehicle. The rear hoses are
installed in a rubber grommet and retained by clips.
Plugged Drain Hose
If a waterleak has occurred check for a plugged drain hose at each corner of drainage system.
1. Open the sunroof window. 2. To test for blockage, pour a small container of water into the
module housing drain trough. Check each corner to confirm the drain hose is draining
water.
Warning
Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.
3. Use compressed air, 241 kPa (35 psi) or less to blow out any drain hose that is plugged. 4. Test
the system again. 5. If the hose remains plugged, check to see it is properly routed and does not
have a kink. Refer to Sunroof Housing Front Drain Hose Replacement
(See: Removal and Replacement/Sunroof Housing Front Drain Hose Replacement) orSunroof
Housing Rear Drain Hose Replacement (See: Removal and Replacement/Sunroof Housing Rear
Drain Hose Replacement) .
6. Remove the blockage using the following steps.
1. Push mechanics wire through the hose to remove the obstruction. 2. Use compressed air in
order to blow out any remaining material.
Disconnected Drain Hose
Inspect the drainage system for disconnected drain hoses. Complete the following steps in order to
obtain partial access to drain hoses and check for a disconnected hose.
1. Open the sunroof window panel. 2. Lower the headliner as needed. Refer to Headlining Trim
Panel Replacement (Crew Cab) (See: Interior Moulding / Trim/Headliner/Service and
Repair)Headlining Trim Panel Replacement (Extended Cab) (See: Interior Moulding /

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003
Date: May 12, 2008

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing
Page 2961
Note
The TPA cannot be removed from the connector while there are terminals present in the connector
body.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push the TPA until it bottoms out.
4. Use the J 38125-28 tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the terminal cavity as
shown in the graphic. See the release tool cross
reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
5. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125 .
Location of the terminal in the repair tray and the proper crimp tool can be found in the appropriate
connector end view.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-46-002C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on an audio whine coming from the radio speakers when using the
OnStar(R) system. The amplitude and frequency of the whine will change with an increase or
decrease in engine speed.
Cause
This condition may be caused by electrical noise on the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication
Interface Module (VCIM) battery feed wire being passed to the microphone output pins at the radio.
Correction
Technicians are to install a noise suppression filter, P/N 1224205, into the OnStar(R) battery
voltage circuit, a few centimeters (inches) from the VCIM. The filter package has three attached
wires - a single yellow wire at one end with a yellow wire and a black wire at the other. Install the
single yellow wire side into the battery voltage circuit towards the VCIM. Install the remaining single
yellow wire into the battery voltage circuit toward the fuse and the black wire to ground.
Important The noise suppression filter is polarity sensitive. The filter is designed to be most
effective when the end with the capacitor ground is connected towards the source of the electrical
noise. Install the filter in this polarity first. If the noise level is still not satisfactory, try disconnecting
the capacitor ground. In some cases, if the first installation does not correct the noise, try reversing
the filter polarity (removing the filter, turning it end for end and then reinstalling it) and grounding
the capacitor lead.

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

Description and Operation
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance
enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) control, a wider engine torque range, improved gas mileage, and improved
engine idle stability. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of
intake and exhaust valve overlap. For the 6.0 liter (LFA) engine, the park position for the CMP
actuator and camshaft is 14.5 degrees after top dead center (ATDC), or 29 crankshaft degrees
ATDC. The engine control module (ECM) can only command the CMP actuator to advance the
valve timing from the park position, or retard the valve timing back to the park position. The total
range of valve timing authority is 23 degrees camshaft rotation, or 46 degrees of crankshaft
rotation. The control range is from the park position of 14.5 degrees camshaft, or 29 degrees
crankshaft ATDC, to 8.5 degrees camshaft or 17 degrees crankshaft before top dead center
(BTDC).
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the control module. The control
module sends a pulse width modulated 12-volt signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control
the amount of engine oil flow to a camshaft actuator passage. There are 2 different passages for oil
to flow through, a passage for CAM advance and a passage for CAM retard. The camshaft actuator
is attached to the front of the camshaft, and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle
of the camshaft relative to crankshaft position (CKP). Engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity,
temperature, engine oil level, and aftermarket engine oil additives can have an adverse affect on
camshaft phaser performance.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Circuit Diagnostic
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the control circuit of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator solenoid for electrical faults. The control module has the ability to determine if a control
circuit is open, shorted high, or shorted low. If the control module detects a fault with the CMP
actuator solenoid control, DTC P0010 will set.

TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 10-08-46-001
Date: January 27, 2010
Subject: Radio Does Not Mute Enough When OnStar(R) Turn-by Turn Navigation Directions Are
Announced (Increase Volume Setting or Request Soft Mute Feature Change Through OnStar(R)
Customer Service)
Models:
2009-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 2009
Saab 9-7X All Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
Condition
Some customers may comment that when the radio is on, it does not mute enough when the
OnStar(R) Turn-by-Turn Navigation directions are announced.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the customer improperly setting the radio volume high enough
when the Turn-by-Turn Navigation messages are played.
The 2009 and 2010 models with OnStar(R) initiates a "soft mute" feature when the radio is on
during Turn-by-Turn Navigation direction announcements. During the announcement, the radio can
still be heard at a very low volume. Previous model years initiated a "hard mute" during this
function which completely muted the radio audio.
Correction
Instruct the customer to increase the radio volume while getting the Turn-by-Turn Navigation
direction announcements. You can control the message volume using the radio volume control,
only when the Turn-by-Turn navigation messages are playing.
Some customers that were accustomed to previous model vehicles with the "hard mute" feature
may be dissatisfied with the function of the "soft mute" feature. For those customers, contact the
OnStar(R) Customer Service Center by pushing the Blue OnStar(R) Button to speak to a trained
Advisor and request a change be made to the vehicle from the "soft mute" setting to that of the
hard or complete muting of audio playback during Turn by Turn directions. OnStar(R) will then

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.

Installation Procedure
Page 12955
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.

Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings) .
Note
When servicing the brake pipes, note the following:
* If sectioning the brake pipe, use replacement pipe of the same type and outside diameter.
* Use fittings of the appropriate size and type.
* Only create flares of the same type or design as originally equipped on the vehicle.
1. Inspect the area of brake pipe to be repaired or replaced. 2. Release the brake pipe to be
replaced from the retainers, as required. 3. Select an appropriate location to section the brake pipe,
if necessary.
* Allow adequate clearance in order to maneuver the J 45405 .
* Avoid sectioning the brake pipe at bends or mounting points.
4. Using a string or wire, measure the length of the pipe to be replaced including all pipe bends. 5.
Add to the measurement taken the appropriate additional length required for each flare to be
created.
* 6.35 mm (0.250 in) for 4.76 mm (3/16 in) diameter pipe
* 9.50 mm (0.374 in) for 6.35 mm (1/4 in) diameter pipe
* 12.67 mm (0.499 in) for 7.94 mm (5/16 in) diameter pipe
Note
Ensure that the brake pipe end to be flared is cut at a square, 90 degree angle to the pipe length.
Wheel Alignment Measurement
Alignment: Service and Repair Wheel Alignment Measurement
Wheel Alignment Measurement
Steering and vibration complaints are not always the result of improper alignment. One possible
cause is wheel and tire imbalance. Another possibility is tire lead due to worn or improperly
manufactured tires. Lead/pull is defined as follows: At a constant highway speed on a typical
straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle's straight path. Lead is the vehicle deviation from a straight path on a level road without
pressure on the steering wheel. Refer to Radial Tire Lead/Pull Correction (See: Wheels and
Tires/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Radial Tire Lead/Pull
Correction) in order to determine if the vehicle has a tire lead problem.
Before performing any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, perform the following inspections in
order to ensure correct alignment readings:
* Inspect for visuable damage to the suspension components and replace as necessary.
* Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. Refer to Vehicle Certification, Tire
Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label (See: Application and ID) andTire Diagnosis Irregular or Premature Wear (See: Wheels and Tires/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures/Tire Diagnosis - Irregular or Premature Wear) .
* Inspect the runout of the wheels and the tires. Refer to Tire and Wheel Runout Specifications
(See: Body and Frame/Testing and Inspection/Vibration Diagnosis and
Correction/Specifications/Tire and Wheel Runout Specifications) .
* Inspect the wheel bearings for backlash and excessive play. Refer to Wheel Bearings Diagnosis
(See: Steering and Suspension/Suspension/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Wheel Bearings Diagnosis) .
* Inspect the ball joints for looseness or wear.
* Inspect the tie rod ends for looseness or wear.
* Inspect the control arms and stabilizer shaft for looseness or wear.
* Inspect the steering gear for looseness at the frame. Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications
(See: Steering and Suspension/Steering/Specifications) .
* Inspect the struts/shock absorbers for wear, leaks, and any noticeable noises. Refer to
Suspension Strut and Shock Absorber Testing - On Vehicle (See: Steering and
Suspension/Suspension/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Suspension Strut and Shock Absorber Testing - On Vehicle) .
* Inspect the vehicle trim height. Refer to Trim Height Inspection (See: Steering and
Suspension/Suspension/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Trim
Height Inspection) .
* Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to stiff or rusted linkage or
suspension components.
* Inspect the fuel level. The fuel tank should be full or the vehicle should have a compensating load
added.
Give consideration to excess loads, such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. If normally carried in
the vehicle, these items should remain in the vehicle during alignment adjustments. Give
consideration also to the condition of the equipment being used for the alignment. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment settings. However, if the
setting exceeds the service allowable specifications, correct the alignment to the service preferred
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications (See: Specifications) .
Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles:
1. Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front
and the rear bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment
angles and record the readings.
Note
* Record the "Before" and "After" alignment measurements.
* When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear toe
adjustment first in order to obtain proper front alignment angles.
* The rear camber and caster is not adjustable.
4. Adjust alignment angles to vehicle specification, if necessary. Refer to Wheel Alignment
Specifications (See: Specifications) .

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper tension on
the drive belt.
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by an incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt
for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt fall off.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify
the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off.
The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for
cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys. 4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be
caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the
accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair.
Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys.
If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation
procedure of that pulley. 5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a
dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all
of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to
drive the pulley. 6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive
belt fall off. 7. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut ,
spacer, or washer was installed. Missing, loose, or the wrong fasteners may cause pulley
misalignment from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of the fasteners may cause
misalignment of the accessory component bracket. 13. The inspection is to verify the drive belt is
correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear on the drive belt may be caused by
mis-positioning the drive belt by one groove on a pulley. 14. The installation of a drive belt that is
too wide or too narrow will cause wear on the drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the
grooves on all of the pulleys. 15. This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not contacting any
parts of the engine or body while the engine is operating. There should be sufficient clearance
when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt should not come in
contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.

PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Note
* Brake rotor assembled lateral runout (LRO) exceeding the maximum allowable specification can
cause thickness variation to develop in the brake rotor over time, usually between 4,800-11,300 km
(3,000-7,000 mi).
* Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout
(LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation.
Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Thickness Variation
Measurement) .
1. Matchmark the position of the brake rotor to the wheel studs if this has not been done already.
Note
Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants
should be cleaned from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this
may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead to
brake pulsation.
2. Inspect the mating surface of the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor to ensure that there are no
foreign particles, corrosion, rust, or debris
remaining. If the wheel hub/axle flange and/or if the brake rotor mating surfaces exhibit these
conditions, perform the following steps:

Background
Several aftermarket companies offer laser alignment tools for accessory drive systems that can be
very helpful in eliminating drive belt noise as a result of misaligned pulleys. Typically pricing ranges
from $160 - $200.
EN-49228 Laser Alignment Tool - Drive Belt
The GM Tool program has now made available a competitive, simple to use and time-saving laser
tool to assist in achieving precise alignment of the drive belt pulleys. This optional tool removes the
guesswork from proper pulley alignment and may serve to reduce comebacks from:
- Drive Belt Noise
- Accelerated Drive Belt Wear
- Drive Belt Slippage
Instructions
The instructions below are specific only to the truck Gen IV V-8 family of engines. These
instructions are only for illustrative purposes to show how the tool may be used. Universal
instructions are included in the box with the Laser Alignment Tool - Drive Belt.
Caution
- Do not look directly into the beam projected from the laser.
- Use caution when shining the laser on highly polished or reflective surfaces. Laser safety glasses
help reduce laser beam glare in many circumstances.
- Always use laser safety glasses when using the laser. Laser safety glasses are not designed to
protect eyes from direct laser exposure.
1. Observe and mark the serpentine belt orientation.

2006-2010 HUMMER H2, H3
ATTENTION
The information found in this bulletin is to be used as a dealership service consultant procedures
for customers coming into the service lane with an illuminated "low tire light" or comments on a
check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message.
Maintaining proper tire pressures is an Owner's Maintenance item and is not covered under
warranty.
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update additional bulletin reference
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-03-16-002 (Section 03 -- Suspension).
Customer Concerns and Confusion with the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
The following procedure should be used by dealership service consultants when a customer comes
into the service drive with a "low tire light" on or comments on a check tire pressure/low tire
pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message. The service consultant should
perform the following steps:
Procedure
Turn the key to ON, without starting the engine.
^ If the low tire light comes on and stays on solid with a check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add
air to tire message (on vehicles equipped with DIC),
advise the customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Properly adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels and driving the vehicle will turn
the light off (refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
^ If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light blinks for one minute then stays on solid with a service
tire monitor system message (on vehicles equipped
with DIC):
- A TPM system problem exists. The vehicle should be written up accordingly and sent to your
service department for further DTC diagnosis and service.
- If dashes (--) are displayed in only one or two of the tire pressure readouts, it is likely caused by a
previous TPM system relearn that was performed incorrectly due to interference from another
vehicle's TPM system during the relearn process (refer to the Important statement later in this
bulletin regarding TPM relearn with a Tech 2(R)).
- If dashes (--) are displayed in all four of the tire pressure readouts, there is a system problem.
Follow the appropriate SI service procedures.
^ If a customer indicates the low tire light comes on for a few minutes when the vehicle is started,
then goes off after driving a while, advise the
customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Most likely, air pressure in one or more of the tires is low enough to turn the light on when tires
are cold. After driving for a while, tires will heat

Alignment: Description and Operation Setback Description
Setback Description
Setback applies to both the front and the rear wheels. Setback is the amount that one wheel may
be aligned behind the other wheel. Setback may be the result of a road hazard or a collision. The
first clue is a caster difference from side-to-side of more than 1 degree.

3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer toSIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations) .
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose inflator modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 91 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any Inflatable restraint air bag module
* Inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
* Any Inflatable restraint sensor
* Inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioners
* Inflatable restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) module or sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note
The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Air Bag Systems)
orElectrical Center Identification Views (See: Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse
Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) .

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to considerably expand the available information on
Radial Force Variation (RFV) and should be reviewed in whole. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Important
- Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven
a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires.
- Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel
assemblies for each vehicle.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation
measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable
tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force
variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads.
Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out
of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three
conditions must be addressed.
Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle,
two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any
imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer,
and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly
balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration.
Before balancing, perform the following procedures.
Tire and Wheel Diagnosis
1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are
centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while
shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick.
3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and
correct as necessary:
- Missing balance weights
- Bent rim flange
- Irregular tire wear
- Incomplete bead seating
- Tire irregularities (including pressure settings)
- Mud/ice build-up in wheel
- Stones in the tire tread
- Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to
diagnosing a smooth road shake condition.
4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a
sufficient distance on a known, smooth road
surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes
are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section
of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration
as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order
(one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high
enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high
to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment.
If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a
throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

A/C - Musty Odors Emitted From (HVAC) System
Evaporator Core: All Technical Service Bulletins A/C - Musty Odors Emitted From (HVAC) System
TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 99-01-39-004C
Date: June 12, 2009
Subject: Air Conditioning Odor (Install Evaporator Core Dryer Kit and Apply Cooling Coil Coating)
Models:
1993-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 All
Equipped with Air Conditioning
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 and 2010 model years. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004B (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment about musty odors emitted from the Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) system at vehicle start-up in hot, humid conditions.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions. The odor may be the result of microbial growth on
the evaporator core. When the blower motor fan is turned on, the microbial growth may release an
unpleasant musty odor into the passenger compartment.
There are several other possible sources of a musty odor in a vehicle. A common source is a water
leak into the interior of the vehicle or foreign material in the HVAC air distribution system. Follow
the procedures in SI for identifying and correcting water leaks and air inlet inspection.
The procedure contained in this bulletin is only applicable if the odor source has been determined
to be microbial growth on the evaporator core inside the HVAC module.
Correction
Many vehicles currently incorporate an afterblow function within the HVAC control module
software. The afterblow feature, when enabled, employs the HVAC blower fan to dry the
evaporator after vehicle shut down and this function will inhibit microbial growth. Technicians are to
confirm that the customer concern is evaporator core odor and that the vehicle has the imbedded
afterblow feature, as defined in the SI document for that specific vehicle model, model year and
specific HVAC option. Refer to SI for enabling the afterblow function. Vehicles being delivered in
areas prone to high humidity conditions may benefit from having the afterblow enabled calibration
installed prior to any customer comment.
Important If the vehicle is not factory equipped with the imbedded afterblow enable feature, it may
be added with the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit (P/N 12497910 or AC Delco 15-5876).
Important When installing the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module, you MUST use the included
electrical splice connectors to ensure a proper splice. Complete detailed installation instructions
and self testing procedures are supplied with the kit. If necessary, the Electronic Evaporator Dryer
Module may be installed underhood if it is protected from extreme heat and water splash areas.
To immediately remove the evaporator core odor on all suspect vehicles, it is necessary to
eliminate the microbial growth and prevent its re-occurrence. To accomplish this, perform the
following procedure:
Vehicle and Applicator Tool Preparation
1. The evaporator core must be dry. This may be accomplished by disabling the compressor and
running the blower fan on the recirc heat setting for
an extended period of time.
Note Compressor engagement will cause the evaporator core to remain wet and will prevent full
adherence of the Coiling Coil Coating to the evaporator core surfaces.
2. Verify that the air conditioning drain hose is not clogged and place a drain pan beneath the
vehicle.

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Repair Suggestions
Soldering Defroster Contact Tabs
In many cases the terminal tab will still be in the connector when you examine the vehicle. For
Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade vehicles (with moveable glass),
always replace the defroster tab (GM P/N 25916031) and the defroster electrical power connector
(P/N 12034110). For all other vehicles, reconnect the original defroster tab.
In most applications it is preferable to create a new solder connection to reattach a separated rear
defroster tab. If you take note of the steps below, it is possible to create a new solder joint that is
equal to, or stronger than, the original. The generic procedure below is not very time intensive, but
does include minor preparation work to create a good bonding surface. Be sure to follow each of
the steps, as combined they will produce the strongest bond possible. Please consider the
following before attempting the repair:
- Soldering introduces significant heat to the glass window of the vehicle. When performing the
re-connection of the tab, use only the heat required to do the job. Pre-heat the soldering iron and
have the solder in your other hand, ready to go, the moment you have enough heat to melt the
solder.
- If it is winter, bring the vehicle into the service garage and remove any snow from the back
window area. Allow time for the glass to warm to the temperature inside the building. Soldering
creates a "hot spot" in the glass. DO NOT solder on cold glass.
Caution Heating the glass excessively, or repeatedly without time to cool, may result in glass
breakage. ALWAYS wear safety glasses when performing this repair!
- You MUST use a silver-bearing solder to make the connection. DO NOT attempt this repair with
conventional tin/lead alloy solders. Silver bearing solder will adhere to the electrical buss bar,
making a strong and lasting repair.
- Protect surfaces under the area to be soldered. It is very easy to drip solder when performing this
repair. Placing a shop towel under the soldering area is sufficient protection.
Soldering Procedure
1. It is imperative to remove and replace the rear defroster electrical power connector by crimping a
new connector to the feed wire. The proper
connector P/N 12034110 can be found in the Packard Electrical Assortment, Tray 18, Position 5.
- Insert Delphi pick 12094430 to depress the locking tab on the terminal.
- Insert Delphi pick 12094429 to release the secondary lock tab.
Important DO NOT re-use the existing defroster tab on new-style full-size utility vehicles with
moveable glass.
2. Connect the electrical connector to the defroster tab. Fully engage the connector. An improperly
seated connector may cause excessive resistance
and impede the proper operation of the defroster. Add a small bead of solder to mate the electrical
connector tab to the defroster tab.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the
specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components,
such as connectors and terminals.
Note
Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals. Use
either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The tool kit J-38125 contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
* A special crimping tool
* A heat torch
* An instruction manual
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low resistance contact integrity for
these sensitive, low energy circuits.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
Note
Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or
provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and
coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
Page 8873
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

13. Use the tire changer in order to install the tire to the wheel.
Caution:
To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when
the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any
tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, lubricate
the beads and reinflate. Overinflating may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal
injury.
Important:
Allowable bead seating pressure is 345 kPa (50 psi) on Extended Mobility Tires.
14. Inflate the tire until it passes the bead humps. Be sure that the valve core is not installed at this
time.
15. Install the valve core to the valve core stem.
16. Inflate the tire to the proper air pressure.
17. Ensure that the locating rings are visible on both sides of the tire in order to verify that the tire
bead is fully seated on the wheel.

Dear General Motors Customer:
We have learned that your 2007, 2008, or 2009 model year Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra,
currently or previously registered in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin may
have a condition where an electronic component located beneath the driver's seat may corrode
due to a significant quantity of snow and/or water containing road salt or other contaminants
entering the vehicle and saturating the acoustical padding beneath the carpet. Your vehicle's
electronic sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is located underneath this acoustical padding. If
sufficient moisture collects and is retained in the padding, it may cause excessive corrosion under
the module; compromising the module seal and allowing water intrusion and system malfunction.
This may result in illumination of the Airbag Readiness light, along with a "Service Airbag" message
on the Driver Information Center, and in rare cases, deployment of the seat belt pretensioner
and/or airbags.
Your satisfaction with your 2007, 2008, or 2009 model year Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra is
very important to us, so we are announcing a program to prevent this condition.
What We Will Do: Your GM dealer will remove the acoustical padding above the SDM. This service
will be performed for you at no charge.
What You Should Do: To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your
dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 and 2009 model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-49-014 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment that a "Park Assist Off" message is appearing on the Driver
Information center (DIC) at times.
There are several factors listed above that can cause this message to appear. A Tech 2 can be
used to access the latest entry into the Park Assist Module history buffer to help determine a
cause.
Engineering has received multiple inhibited Rear park Assist Modules through warranty parts return
with attached object stored in the latest history buffer. If a vehicle has a trailer hitch installed into
the trailer hitch receiver, it is possible for the rear park assist to be disabled. Once the trailer hitch is
removed, the message should go away. Other possible causes may be dirty sensors. Keep the
rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
Important:
Please note that any object that is installed in the receiver hitch, extending from the rear of the
vehicle, or blocking the sensors can disable the Parking Assist, resulting in the message "Park
Assist Off". Please remove the object or obstruction from the vehicle to re-enable the system. This
is normal operation of the system.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Avoiding Wiper Damage
The following are major contributors to wiper damage. Some of these you can control and others
are environmental concerns.
- Extremely dusty areas (such as driving on dirt roads) may cause the wipers rubber edge to wear
quickly and unevenly.
- Sand and salt used on roads for increasing winter traction and ice control will cause the wiper
blades to wear quicker. Areas with significant snowfall require more frequent blade replacements.
- Heat and time may cause the rubber blades to take a "permanent set" resulting in the rubber not
flexing and turning over uniformly. This condition may result in streaking and/or unwiped areas.
- Rubber blades are easily cut or torn when using ice scrapers. Likewise pulling blades up off a
frozen windshield can tear the rubber. Exercise caution when clearing ice and snow.
- Using your wipers to "wear through" frost and ice, instead of allowing the defrosters to melt the
ice, can dull, nick or tear the rubber blades.
- Banging wipers on the glass to remove ice and snow may cause the blade to bend, dislodging the
rubber and causing potential scratching of the windshield.
- Ice can form in the pin joints of the wipers, which can cause streaking and unwiped areas. To
remove ice from pin joints, compress the blade and rubber edge with your hand to loosen the
frozen joints. Consider using Winter Blades that have a rubber cover to avoid this condition.
Note
GM does not recommend the use of any spray on/wipe on windshield treatments or washer fluid
additives. The variation in friction that results on the glass from the use of these products causes
wipers to chatter and have premature wear.

Vehicle Odor Elimination
General Motors offers a product that may control or eliminate odors in the interior and luggage
compartment areas of GM vehicles. GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator is a non-toxic,
biodegradable odor remover. This odorless product has been shown to greatly reduce or remove
objectionable smells of mold and mildew resulting from vehicle water leaks (as well as customer
created odors, i.e. smoke). You may use GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator on fabrics, vinyl,
leather, carpet and sound deadening materials. It may also be induced into HVAC modules and
instrument panel ducts (for the control of non-bacterial related odors).
Important:
This product leaves no residual scent and should not be sold as or considered an air freshener.
Product action may result in the permanent elimination of an odor and may be preferable to
customers with allergies who are sensitive to perfumes.
How to Use This Product
GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator may be sprayed on in a ready-to-use formula or used in steam
cleaners as an additive with carpet shampoo. This water-based, odorless product is safe for all
vehicle interiors. Do not wet or soak any interior surface that plain water would cause to
deteriorate, as this product will have the same effect. Also avoid letting this product come into
contact with vinegar or any acidic substance. Acid-based products will hamper the effectiveness of,
or render GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator inert.
Note:
Complete eight page treatment sheets are enclosed within each case of GM Vehicle Care Odor
Eliminator. These treatment instructions range from simple vehicle odor elimination to full step by
step procedures for odor removal from water leaks. If lost, contact 800-977-4145 to get a
replacement set faxed or e-mailed to your dealership.
Instructions and cautions are printed on the bottle, but additional help is available. If you encounter
a difficult to eliminate or reoccurring odor, you may call 1-800-955-8591 (in Canada,
1-800-977-4145) to obtain additional information and usage suggestions.
Important:
This product may effectively remove odors when directly contacting the odor source. It should be
used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures (in cases such as a water leak) to first eliminate the
root cause of the odor, and then the residual odor to permanently correct the vehicle condition.
Vehicle Waterleak Odor Elimination
STEP ONE:
Confirm that all water leaks have been repaired. Determine what areas of the vehicle were water
soaked or wet. Components with visible mold/mildew staining should be replaced. Isolate the odor
source inside the vehicle. Often an odor can be isolated to an area or component of the vehicle
interior by careful evaluation. Odor evaluation may need to be performed by multiple persons.
Another method of isolating an odor source is to remove and segregate interior trim and
components. Plastic sheeting or drop cloths can be used to confine seats, headliners, etc. to assist
in evaluation and diagnoses. If appropriate the vehicle and interior trim should be evaluated
separately to determine if the odor stays with the vehicle or the interior components. Odors that
stay with the vehicle may be isolated to insulating and sound deadening materials (i.e. water leak
at the windshield or standing water in the front foot well area caused mold/mildew to form on the
bulkhead or kick panel sound deadening pads. If the interior is removed the floor pan and
primed/painted surfaces should be treated with bleach/soap solution, rinsed with clean water and
dried. Interior surfaces should then be treated with GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product
before reinstalling carpet or reassembling.

This bulletin is intended to help identify the severity of shock absorber and strut fluid seepage.
Improper diagnosis may lead to components being replaced that are within the manufacturer's
specification. Shock absorbers and strut assemblies are fluid-filled components and will normally
exhibit some seepage. Seepage is defined as oil film or dust accumulation on the exterior of the
shock housing. Shock absorbers and struts are not to be replaced under warranty for seepage.
Use the following information to determine if the condition is normal acceptable seepage or a
defective component.
Important Electronically controlled shock absorbers (MR) may have a tendency to attract dust to
this oil film. Often this film and dust can be wiped off and will not return until similar mileage is
accumulated again.
Inspection Procedure
Note
The shock absorber or strut assembly DOES NOT have to be removed from the vehicle to perform
the following inspection procedure.
Use the following descriptions and graphics to determine the serviceability of the component.
Shock Absorbers
Do Not Replace shock absorbers displaying condition 1 or 2 levels of seepage.
1. Oil or fluid residue only on the bottom or top of the shock absorber and not originating from the
shaft seal (the upper part of the lower shock tube). 2. Light film/residue on approximately 1/3 (a) or
less of the lower shock tube (A) and originating from the shaft seal.
Replace shock absorbers displaying conditions 3 and 4 levels of leaks.
3. Oil drip or trail down the lower shock tube and originating from the shaft seal. 4. An extreme wet
film of oil covering more than 1/3 (b) of the lower shock tube and originating from the shaft seal.

of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

GM dexos 1(TM) Engine Oil Specification
Important General Motors dexos 1(TM) engine oil specification replaces the previous General
Motors specifications GM6094M, GM4718M and GM-LL-A-025 for most GM gasoline engines. The
oil specified for use in GM passenger cars and trucks, PRIOR to the 2011 model year remains
acceptable for those previous vehicles. However, dexos 1(TM) is backward compatible and can be
used in those older vehicles.
In North America, starting with the 2011 model year, GM introduced dexos 1(TM) certified engine
oil as a factory fill and service fill for gasoline engines. The reasons for the new engine oil
specification are as follows:
- To meet environmental goals such as increasing fuel efficiency and reducing engine emissions.
- To promote long engine life.
- To minimize the number of engine oil changes in order to help meet the goal of lessening the
industry's overall dependence on crude oil.
dexos 1(TM) is a GM-developed engine oil specification that has been designed to provide the
following benefits:
- Further improve fuel economy, to meet future corporate average fuel economy (CAFE)
requirements and fuel economy retention by allowing the oil to maintain its fuel economy benefits
throughout the life of the oil.
- More robust formulations for added engine protection and aeration performance.

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.

1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Do not use cleaning solutions that contain hydrofluoric, oxalic and most other acids on chrome
wheels (or any wheels).
If the customer is unsure of the chemical make-up of a particular wheel cleaner, it should be
avoided.
For wheels showing signs of milky staining from acidic cleaners, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Warranty of Stained Chrome Wheels
Stained wheels are not warrantable. Most acid based cleaners will permanently stain chrome
wheels. Follow-up with dealers has confirmed that such cleaners were used on wheels that were
returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC). Any stained wheels received by the WPC will be
charged back to the dealership. To assist the customer, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Pitting or Spotted Appearance of Chrome Wheels Figure 2
A second type or staining or finish disturbance may result from road chemicals, such as calcium
chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads. The staining will look like small pitting (refer to
Figure 2). This staining will usually be on the leading edges of each wheel spoke, but may be
uniformly distributed. If a vehicle must be operated under such conditions, the chrome wheels
should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed as soon as conveniently
possible.
Important Road chemicals, such as calcium chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads, can
also stain chrome wheels. The staining will look like small pitting. This staining will usually be on
the leading edges of each wheel spoke. This is explained by the vehicle traveling in the forward
direction while being splashed by the road chemical. If a vehicle must be operated under such
conditions, the chrome wheels should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed
as soon as conveniently possible.
Warranty of Pitted or Spotted Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of road chemicals may be replaced one time.
Damage resulting from contact with these applied road chemicals is corrosive to the wheels finish
and may cause damage if the wheels are not kept clean.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean if they are operating the vehicle in an area that
applies calcium chloride or other dust controlling chemicals! "GM of Canada" dealers require prior
approval by the District Manager - Customer Care and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
"Stardust" Corrosion of Chrome Wheels Figure 3
A third type of finish disturbance results from prolonged exposure to brake dust and resultant
penetration of brake dust through the chrome. As brakes are applied hot particles of brake material
are thrown off and tend to be forced through the leading edge of the wheel spoke windows by
airflow. These

Attention:
To properly correct this condition, you must follow both of the procedures to relocate the ECT
sensor and the engine coolant heater cord.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add cast iron block engine RPOs and to update the
Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.
Warning
To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot.
The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam

- Support the GM Oil Life System, thereby minimizing the replacement of engine oil, before its life
has been depleted.
- Reduce the duplication of requirements for a large number of internal GM engine oil
specifications.
International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
GF-5 Standard
In addition to GM dexos 1(TM), a new International Lubricants Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) standard called GF-5, was introduced in October 2010.
- There will be a corresponding API category, called: SN Resource Conserving. The current GF-4
standard was put in place in 2004 and will become obsolete in October 2011. Similar to dexos
1(TM), the GF-5 standard will use a new fuel economy test, Sequence VID, which demands a
statistically significant increase in fuel economy versus the Sequence VIB test that was used for
GF-4.
- It is expected that all dexos 1(TM) approved oils will be capable of meeting the GF-5 standard.
However, not all GF-5 engine oils will be capable of meeting the dexos 1(TM) specification.
- Like dexos(TM), the new ILSAC GF-5 standard will call for more sophisticated additives. The API
will begin licensing marketers during October 2010, to produce and distribute GF-5 certified
products, which are expected to include SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 oils.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Requirements Effect on Fuel Economy
Since CAFE standards were first introduced in 1974, the fuel economy of cars has more than
doubled, while the fuel economy of light trucks has increased by more than 50 percent. Proposed
CAFE standards call for a continuation of increased fuel economy in new cars and trucks. To meet
these future requirements, all aspects of vehicle operation are being looked at more critically than
ever before.
New technology being introduced in GM vehicles designed to increase vehicle efficiency and fuel
economy include direct injection, cam phasing, turbocharging and active fuel management (AFM).
The demands of these new technologies on engine oil also are taken into consideration when
determining new oil specifications. AFM for example can help to achieve improved fuel economy.
However alternately deactivating and activating the cylinders by not allowing the intake and
exhaust valves to open contributes to additional stress on the engine oil.
Another industry trend for meeting tough fuel economy mandates has been a shift toward lower
viscosity oils.
dexos 1(TM) will eventually be offered in several viscosity grades in accordance with engine needs:
SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30 and 5W-30.
Using the right viscosity grade oil is critical for proper engine performance. Always refer to the
Maintenance section of a vehicle Owner Manual for the proper viscosity grade for the engine being
serviced.
GM Oil Life System in Conjunction With dexos (TM) Supports Extended Oil Change Intervals
To help conserve oil while maintaining engine protection, many GM vehicles are equipped with the
GM Oil Life System. This system can provide oil change intervals that exceed the traditional 3,000
mile (4,830 km) recommendation.
The dexos (TM) specification, with its requirements for improved oil robustness, compliments the
GM Oil Life System by supporting extended oil change intervals over the lifetime of a vehicle.
If all GM customers with GM Oil Life System equipped vehicles would use the system as intended,
GM estimates that more than 100 million gallons of oil could be saved annually.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Subject: Audio Whine Noise from Radio Speakers When Using OnStar(R) (Install Noise
Suppression Filter)
Models:
2007-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2007-2010 HUMMER H2, H3

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-46-002C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on an audio whine coming from the radio speakers when using the
OnStar(R) system. The amplitude and frequency of the whine will change with an increase or
decrease in engine speed.
Cause
This condition may be caused by electrical noise on the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication
Interface Module (VCIM) battery feed wire being passed to the microphone output pins at the radio.
Correction
Technicians are to install a noise suppression filter, P/N 1224205, into the OnStar(R) battery
voltage circuit, a few centimeters (inches) from the VCIM. The filter package has three attached
wires - a single yellow wire at one end with a yellow wire and a black wire at the other. Install the
single yellow wire side into the battery voltage circuit towards the VCIM. Install the remaining single
yellow wire into the battery voltage circuit toward the fuse and the black wire to ground.
Important The noise suppression filter is polarity sensitive. The filter is designed to be most
effective when the end with the capacitor ground is connected towards the source of the electrical
noise. Install the filter in this polarity first. If the noise level is still not satisfactory, try disconnecting
the capacitor ground. In some cases, if the first installation does not correct the noise, try reversing
the filter polarity (removing the filter, turning it end for end and then reinstalling it) and grounding
the capacitor lead.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

Installation Procedure
Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.

possible contamination in the system:
* The fuel pipe connections
* The hose connections
* The areas surrounding the connections
Page 12954
or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Power
Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic

ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

Concerns About Safety and Alterations to the Front Passenger Seat
Important ON A GM VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM, USE THE
SEAT COVERS AND OTHER SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT AS RELEASED BY GM FOR THAT
VEHICLE. DO NOT ALTER THE SEAT COVERS OR SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT. ANY
ALTERATIONS TO SEAT COVERS OR GM ACCESSORIES DEFEATS THE INTENDED DESIGN
OF THE SYSTEM. GM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY USE OF
SUCH IMPROPER SEAT ALTERATIONS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS INCURRED.
The front passenger seat in many GM vehicles is equipped with a passenger sensing system that
will turn off the right front passenger's frontal airbag under certain conditions, such as when an
infant or child seat is present. In some vehicles, the passenger sensing system will also turn off the
right front passenger's seat mounted side impact airbag. For the system to function properly,
sensors are used in the seat to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant. The passenger
sensing system may not operate properly if the original seat trim is replaced (1) by non-GM covers,
upholstery or trim, or (2) by GM covers, upholstery or trim designed for a different vehicle or (3) by
GM covers, upholstery or trim that has been altered by a trim shop, or (4) if any object, such as an
aftermarket seat heater or a comfort enhancing pad or device is installed under the seat fabric or
between the occupant and the seat fabric.
Aftermarket Seat Heaters, Custom Upholstery, and Comfort Enhancing Pads or Devices
Important ON A GM VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM, USE ONLY
SEAT COVERS AND OTHER SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT RELEASED AS GM
ACCESSORIES FOR THAT VEHICLE. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF SEAT COVERS OR
SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT, OR GM ACCESSORIES RELEASED FOR OTHER VEHICLE
APPLICATIONS. GM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY USE OF SUCH
IMPROPER SEAT ACCESSORIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS MADE
NECESSARY BY SUCH USE.
Many types of aftermarket accessories are available to customers, upfitting shops, and dealers.
Some of these devices sit on top of, or are Velcro(R) strapped to the seat while others such as seat
heaters are installed under the seat fabric. Additionally, seat covers made of leather or other
materials may have different padding thickness installed that could prevent the Passenger Sensing
System from functioning properly. Never alter the vehicle seats. Never add pads or other devices to
the seat cushion, as this may interfere with the operation of the Passenger Sensing System and
either prevent proper deployment of the passenger airbag or prevent proper suppression of the
passenger air bag.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Connector Position Assurance Locks
Connector Position Assurance Locks
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in
all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating
terminals, of the connector.

Each user will be required to accept the following agreement each time the KeyCode application is
used.
Key Code User Agreement
- Key codes are proprietary information belonging to General Motors Corporation and to the vehicle
owner.
- Unauthorized access to, or use of, key code information is unlawful and may subject the user to
criminal and civil penalties.
- This information should be treated as strictly confidential and should not be disclosed to anyone
unless authorized.
I will ensure that the following information is obtained prior to releasing any Key Code information:
1. Government issued picture ID (Drivers License) 2. Registration or other proof of ownership.
Registration should have normal markings from the Province that issued the registration and
possibly the
receipt for payment recorded as well.
Important
- GM takes this agreement seriously. Each user must be certain of vehicle ownership before giving
out key codes.
- When the ownership of the vehicle is in doubt, dealership personnel should not provide the
information.
Key code requests should never be received via a fax or the internet and key codes should never
be provided to anyone in this manner. A face to face contact with the owner of the vehicle is the
expected manner that dealers will use to release a key code or as otherwise stipulated in this
bulletin or other materials.
- Key codes should NEVER be sent via a fax or the internet.
- Each Dealership should create a permanent file to document all KeyCode Look Up transactions.
Requests should be filed by VIN and in each folder retain copies of the following:
- Government issued picture ID (Drivers License)
- Registration or other proof of ownership.
- Copy of the paid customer receipt which has the name of the employee who cut and sold the key
to the customer.
- Do not put yourself or your Dealership in the position of needing to "explain" a KeyCode Look Up
to either GM or law enforcement officials.
- Dealership Management has the ability to review all KeyCode Look-Up transactions.
- Dealership KeyCode documentation must be retained for two years.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for GM of Canada Dealers
How do I request a KeyCode for customer owned vehicle that is not registered?
Scrapped, salvaged or stored vehicles that do not have a current registration should still have the
ownership verified by requesting the vehicle title, current insurance policy and / or current lien
holder information from the customers financing source. If you cannot determine if the customer is
the owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information. In these cases, a short
description of the vehicle (scrapped, salvaged, etc.) and the dealership location should be kept on
file. Any clarifying explanation should be entered into the comments field.
How do I document a KeyCode request for a vehicle that is being repossessed?
The repossessor must document ownership of the vehicle by providing a court ordered
repossession order and lien-holder documents prior to providing key code information. Copies of
the repossessors Drivers License and a business card should be retained by the dealership for
documentation.
What do I do if the registration information is locked in the vehicle?
Every effort should be made to obtain complete information for each request. Each Dealership will
have to decide on a case by case basis if enough information is available to verify the customer's
ownership of the vehicle. Other forms of documentation include vehicle title, insurance policy, and
or current lien information from the customers financing source. Dealership Management must be
involved in any request without complete information. If you cannot determine if the customer is the
owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information.
Can I get a print out of the information on the screen?
It is important to note that the Key Code Look Up Search Results contain sensitive and/or
proprietary information. For this reason GM recommends against printing it. If the Search Results
must be printed, store and/or dispose of the printed copy properly to minimize the risk of improper
or illegal use.
Who in the dealership has access to the KeyCode application?
Dealership Parts Manager (or assigned management) will determine, and control, who is
authorized to access the KeyCode Look Up application. However, we anticipate that dealership
parts and service management will be the primary users of the application. The KeyCode Look Up
application automatically tracks each user activity session. Information tracked by the system
includes: User name, User ID, all other entered data and the date/time of access.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Using Splice Sleeves in SI for additional information on these connectors, circuits and use of the
splice sleeves included with the service connectors listed below.
Important The connectors listed are standard "pigtail" type splice connectors with 406 mm (16 in)
leads. When installing, cut the pigtail leads back to a length just long enough to install the splice
connectors. When cutting off the original connector, cut the harness just behind the connector
body. Performing these steps will insure the harness remains as close as possible to the original
length. It is especially important to not cut beyond the sealed portion of the auxiliary fluid pump
harness.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: No Start, No Crank, Intermittent Electrical Operations (Check For Poor Connections Within
Engine Wiring Harness Junction Block)
Models: 2007-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2009 Chevrolet
Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2007-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali,
Yukon Denali XL
Condition
Some customers may comment on a no start, or no crank, or intermittent electrical operations.
Cause
This may be caused by probing fuse or relay connectors with incorrect J-Tools, which causes
splayed terminals and poor electrical connections. Customers may also have installed wires
adjacent to the fuse connector blades in order to create an electrical circuit, which also creates a
potential loose connection at the fuse. Other potential causes are probing by independent repair
shops during installation of aftermarket accessories like remote start systems.
Correction
If the terminals are damaged beyond repair, the engine wiring harness junction block will have to
be replaced.
Be sure to use the correct J-Tool (J-356616-35), which is designed to prevent splaying of the
terminals and loose connections.
Important:
DO NOT use any other device (incorrect J- Tool, multi-meter probe) to test fuse/relay terminals.
The figure shown shows splayed fuse terminals due to probing with a round instrument, which
caused a poor electrical connection between fuse blade and terminal (note lack of witness mark on
fuse blade).
The figure above shows a wire jammed into fuse slot (potential electrical tap by customer).
Warranty Information
This repair will not be covered under warranty due to damage/failure caused by inappropriate
probing or customer abuse.

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

results from the alteration or modification of a vehicle using non-GM approved parts or accessories.
Dealers should be especially cautious of accessory companies that claim the installation of their
product will not void the factory warranty. Many times these companies have even given direction
on how to quickly disassemble the accessory in an attempt to preclude the manufacturer from
finding out that is has been installed.
Any suspect repairs should be reviewed by the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM), and in Canada
by the Warranty Manager (WM) for appropriate repair direction. If it is decided that a goodwill repair
is to be made on the vehicle, even with the installation of such non-GM approved components, the
customer is to be made aware of General Motors position on this issue and is to sign the
appropriate goodwill documentation required by General Motors.
It is imperative for dealers to understand that by installing such devices, they are jeopardizing not
only the warranty coverage, but also the performance and reliability of the customer's vehicle.

Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution
Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution
Caution: Do not remove the pigtail from either the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) or the oxygen
sensor (O2S). Removing the pigtail or the connector will affect sensor operation.
Handle the oxygen sensor carefully. Do not drop the HO2S. Keep the in-line electrical connector
and the louvered end free of grease, dirt, or other contaminants. Do not use cleaning solvents of
any type.
Do not repair the wiring, connector or terminals. Replace the oxygen sensor if the pigtail wiring,
connector, or terminal is damaged.
This external clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires.
Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors, or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air
reference and degraded sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor causing poor performance.
* Do not damage the sensor pigtail and harness wires in such a way that the wires inside are
exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause
performance problems.
* Ensure the sensor or vehicle lead wires are not bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends or kinks
could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire, where applicable. Vehicles that utilize
the ground wired sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor.
Removal of the ground wire will cause poor engine performance.
* Ensure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector in order to
prevent damage due to water intrusion. The engine harness may be repaired using Packard's
Crimp and Splice Seals Terminal Repair Kit. Under no circumstances should repairs be soldered
since this could result in the air reference being obstructed.

Installation Procedure
Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution) .
2. Install the HO2S (2).
Tighten the sensor to 42 Nm (31 lb ft).
3. Connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector (2) to the HO2S electrical connector (1).

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 V,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
Testing for Continuity Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control
module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM.
5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note
Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

Page 2906
Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

The GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product is an effective odor elimination product when used
properly. It must come into direct contact with the odor source. It should be used in conjunction with
diagnostic procedures to first eliminate the root cause of the odor. Some procedures for use after
odor root cause correction are:
STEP TWO:
^ Use the trigger spray head.
^ Put a drop of dish soap the size of a quarter in the bottom of a bottle.
^ Add 8 oz. of GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator (1 cup) to the dish soap and top off the bottle with
tap water.
^ This formula should be used on hard surfaces (dash, interior plastic molding, and floor pan)
STEP THREE:
The third step to neutralizing the vehicle is a light to medium treatment of all carpeting and
upholstered seats with the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula and a wide fan spray setting
(at full strength) (i.e.: carpeting on the driver's side requires 4-5 triggers pulls for coverage). The
headliner and trunk should be sprayed next. Lightly brushing the formula into the carpeting and
upholstery is a recommended step for deep odor problems. The dash and all hard surfaces should
be sprayed with dish soap/water mixture. Let stand for 1-2 minutes then wipe off the surface.
STEP FOUR: (vehicle ventilation system treatment)
The ventilation system is generally the last step in the treatment of the vehicle.
a. Spray the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula into all dash vents. (1-2 trigger pulls per
vent).
b. Start the vehicle and turn the vehicle fan on high cool (not A/C setting).
c. Spray the formula (10 trigger pulls) into the outside fresh air intake vent (cowl at base of
windshield)
d. Enter the vehicle after 1 minute and wipe off the excess formula spurting out of the dash vents.
e. Smell the air coming from the dash vents. If odors are still present, spray another 5 triggers into
the cowl, wait another minute and smell the results. Once you have obtained a fresh, clean smell
coming from the vents, turn the system to the A/C re-circulation setting. Roll up the windows, spray
3-5 pumps into the right lower IP area and let the vehicle run with the fan set on high for 5-7
minutes.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited
is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If
these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
Additional Suggestions to Increase Customer Satisfaction
Here are some additional ideas to benefit your dealership and to generate greater customer
enthusiasm for this product.
^ Keep this product on-hand for both the Service Department and the Used Car lot. Add value to
your used car trades; treat loaner and demo cars during service and at final sale to eliminate
smoke, pet, and other common odors offensive to customers. Make deodorizing a vehicle part of
your normal vehicle detailing service.
^ Consider including GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator as a give-away item with new vehicle
purchases. Many dealers give away as "gifts" various cleaning supplies at time of delivery. GM
Odor Eliminator is one of a few products GM offers that has as many uses in the home as in the
vehicle. Customers may find this product can be used for a host of recreational activities
associated with their new vehicle, such as deodorizing a boat they tow, or a camper.
^ GM Odor Eliminator and many of the GM Vehicle Care products offer you the chance to increase
dealership traffic as these superior quality products cannot be purchased in stores. Many
Dealerships have product displays at the parts counter. Consider additional displays in the
Customer Service Lounge, the Showroom and at the Service Desk or Cashier Window. Many
customers who purchase vehicles and receive regular maintenance at your dealership may never
visit the parts counter, and subsequently are not exposed to the variety and value that these
products offer.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

and pry up. 3. Remove the TPA by pulling it out of the connector. 4. Push the wire side of the
terminal that is being removed toward the connector and hold it in position.
5. Insert the J 38125-553 on a slight upward angle into the cavity below the terminal to be
removed. Ensure that the pointed on the end of the tool is
facing the bottom of the terminal and it stays in contact with the terminal until it stops on the plastic
terminal retainer. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to
ensure that the correct release tool is used.

Dye Transfer: Dye transfer will happen any time a natural fiber like cotton, silk, wool, or suede
comes into contact with leather. The lighter the leather color, the more quickly the dye transfer will
appear. Leather should be cleaned on a regular basis so that the dirt and grime do not adversely
affect the top coat of the leather. After cleaning the leather, it is important to treat the surface with
the restorer.
Extractor Machine and Concentrate
For difficult to clean materials or when cleaning a large area, the best results will be achieved when
using an extractor machine and concentrate. General Motors offers the Ruby Extractor (P/N
627-CC-3000AU) through GM Tools and Equipment 1-800-GM-TOOLS, and has recently released
a concentrate for use with the extractor machine.
Whichever extractor machine is used, it should meet the minimum specifications of the Ruby
Extractor:
Ruby Extractor Specifications:
- Pump PSI: 55
- Water Lift: 85"
- Hose Length: 10 ft
Important The Ruby Extractor also comes with a 6 year Outer Body and 3 year Parts warranty.
Extractor: The Ruby Extractor machine was designed for automotive use and works effectively in
the vehicle's interior. The narrow design of the vacuum head allows detail work in tight areas. The
water pressure pump is reduced so the fabric surface is not wet more than is necessary. The dry
time is greatly reduced due to less water on the fabric surface, the vacuum head making better
contact with the surface and the significant water lift capability of the machine.
Concentrate: The concentrated extraction cleaner is engineered with lower pH levels to help
remove alkaline buildup on fabrics. The concentrate should be mixed according to the instructions
listed on the container. The available concentrate helps to break the stain down and then the stain
is easily removed with less water. The concentrate used in the Ruby Extractor is slightly acidic to
remove soap and alkalinity from the fabric surfaces left behind by using improper, soapy solutions.
Dirt, grease and grime are more easily removed when the proper solution is used during the
extraction process.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Warning
At times during this brake bleed procedure brake fluid will be under higher pressures than during
typical brake bleed procedures. Ensure the bleeder hose attached to the bleeder valve is securely
maintained in position whenever the bleeder valve is opened. Failure to maintain the bleeder hose
securely to the valve when opened, may allow the hose to blow off and brake fluid to spray out of
the bleeder valve, possibly resulting in personal injury.
Caution: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme 11(R),
GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed
brake fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid,
may cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber
linings of hydraulic brake system components.

Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B
Date: November 18, 2010
Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.

Effective cleaning steps for fabric:
1. Remove any residue by lightly rubbing the surface with a clean towel. 2. Choose the appropriate
stain remover based on the stain type. 3. Spray and lightly brush the area with a clean, soft bristle
brush. 4. Gently blot up the stain. 5. On upholstery/carpet, the use of a fabric protector can help to
reduce or eliminate future staining.
Upholstery and Carpet Stains
When cleaning upholstery and carpet stains ONLY, the following cleaning chart will help you
determine which cleaner/formula works best on a particular stain. The chart lists many of the
common stains. Some complex stains may require the application of both stain removers, one after
the other, to remove both food-based oils and synthetic oils.
A soft bristle brush (P/N 88861425) should be used to safely work the cleaner into the leather grain
or material. This enables the dirt/stain to be completely removed from the material.
Leather Conditioner/Restorer
A Leather Conditioner/Restorer is also available. The restorer is safe for all vinyl and leather. It is a
water-based product and contains essential emollients to restore suppleness, conditions and adds
luster without adding gloss. The restorer will also provide protection against re-staining.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Installation Procedure
Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution) .

Repair Suggestions
Soldering Defroster Contact Tabs
In many cases the terminal tab will still be in the connector when you examine the vehicle. For
Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade vehicles (with moveable glass),
always replace the defroster tab (GM P/N 25916031) and the defroster electrical power connector
(P/N 12034110). For all other vehicles, reconnect the original defroster tab.
In most applications it is preferable to create a new solder connection to reattach a separated rear
defroster tab. If you take note of the steps below, it is possible to create a new solder joint that is
equal to, or stronger than, the original. The generic procedure below is not very time intensive, but
does include minor preparation work to create a good bonding surface. Be sure to follow each of
the steps, as combined they will produce the strongest bond possible. Please consider the
following before attempting the repair:
- Soldering introduces significant heat to the glass window of the vehicle. When performing the
re-connection of the tab, use only the heat required to do the job. Pre-heat the soldering iron and
have the solder in your other hand, ready to go, the moment you have enough heat to melt the
solder.
- If it is winter, bring the vehicle into the service garage and remove any snow from the back
window area. Allow time for the glass to warm to the temperature inside the building. Soldering
creates a "hot spot" in the glass. DO NOT solder on cold glass.
Caution Heating the glass excessively, or repeatedly without time to cool, may result in glass
breakage. ALWAYS wear safety glasses when performing this repair!
- You MUST use a silver-bearing solder to make the connection. DO NOT attempt this repair with
conventional tin/lead alloy solders. Silver bearing solder will adhere to the electrical buss bar,
making a strong and lasting repair.
- Protect surfaces under the area to be soldered. It is very easy to drip solder when performing this
repair. Placing a shop towel under the soldering area is sufficient protection.
Soldering Procedure
1. It is imperative to remove and replace the rear defroster electrical power connector by crimping a
new connector to the feed wire. The proper
connector P/N 12034110 can be found in the Packard Electrical Assortment, Tray 18, Position 5.
- Insert Delphi pick 12094430 to depress the locking tab on the terminal.
- Insert Delphi pick 12094429 to release the secondary lock tab.
Important DO NOT re-use the existing defroster tab on new-style full-size utility vehicles with
moveable glass.
2. Connect the electrical connector to the defroster tab. Fully engage the connector. An improperly
seated connector may cause excessive resistance
and impede the proper operation of the defroster. Add a small bead of solder to mate the electrical
connector tab to the defroster tab.

Bulletin No.: 10-08-50-003A
Date: March 24, 2011
Subject: Information on Driver or Passenger Seat Head Restraint Concerns with Comfort, Custom
Upholstery or Other Comfort Enhancing Devices
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with Adjustable Head Restraints
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-003 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Important ON A GM VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINTS, USE THE
HEAD RESTRAINT COVERS, FOAM AND OTHER SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT AS
RELEASED BY GM FOR THAT VEHICLE. DO NOT ALTER OR REPOSITION THE HEAD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM. ANY ALTERATIONS TO HEAD RESTRAINTS DEFEATS THE INTENDED
DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM. GM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY USE
OF SUCH IMPROPER DESIGN ALTERATIONS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS
INCURRED.
You may have a customer with a concern that the head restraint is uncomfortable or sits too far
forward. The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with head restraints that have been
designed to help minimize injuries while still providing comfort to the occupants. Each GM vehicle
has its own specifically designed head restraint.
The head restraints should only be used in the vehicle for which they were designed. The head
restraint will not operate to its design intent if the original foam is replaced (1) by non-GM foam or
head restraint, (2) by GM foam or head restraint designed for a different vehicle, (3) by GM foam or
head restraint that has been altered by a trim shop or (4) if any object, such as an aftermarket
comfort enhancing pad or device, is installed.
Never modify the design of the head restraint or remove the head restraint from the vehicle as this
may interfere with the operation of the seating and restraint systems and may prevent proper
positioning of the passenger within the vehicle.

Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heated/Cooled Seats Description and Operation
Heated/Cooled Seats Description and Operation
The driver and front passenger heated cooled seat system consist of the following components:
* Heated and cooled seat switch
* Door lock/window switch
* Memory seat module
* Driver and passenger seat back heat/cool ventilation blowers
* Driver and passenger seat cushion heat/cool ventilation blowers
Heated/Cooled Seat Switches
The heated and cooled seat system is controlled through the heated and cooled seat switches that
are located on the door panels. When either the heat or cool seat switch is pressed, ground is
applied through the switch contacts and the switch signal circuit to the door lock/window switch. In
response to this signal, the door lock/window switch sends a serial data message to the memory
seat module (MSM) indicating the switch input. In response to this message, the MSM then sends
a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal through the heated/cool seat mode signal circuit to the
CCSM indicating the heated or cooled seat request. The door lock/window switch then applies a
ground through the appropriate heat or cool seat indicator control circuit to the switch illuminating
the selected heat or cool mode indicator. At the same time, the door lock/window switch also
applies a ground through the appropriate high, medium, or low temperature indicator control
circuits illuminating temperature mode indicators.
Memory Seat Module
The memory seat module monitors the heated cooled seat switches through GMLAN message
inputs and determines the heated cooled seat operating modes and temperature levels. When
heated or cooled seat switch active signals are received through GMLAN messages, and vehicle
conditions are appropriate to allow heated or cooled seat operation, the memory seat module
(MSM) will calculate the switch activations and determine the heated or cooled seat operating
modes. The MSM controls the operating mode of the Climate Control Seat Module (CCSM)
through 2 pulse width modulation (PWM) signal circuits. The left and right heated/cooled seat mode
signal circuits are referenced from battery voltage by the CCSM and pulsed low by the MSM. Each
heated cooled seat is capable of operating in 3 modes with 3 temperature levels so the MSM uses
9 PWM frequencies for each signal circuit to command the heated cooled seat modes to the
CCSM.
Climate Control Seat Module
The Climate Control Seat Module (CCSM) is located under the passenger seat and controls 4
individual driver and passenger seat heat/cool ventilation blowers. When the CCSM receives a
heated cooled seat command through the left or right heated/cooled seat mode signal circuit, the
appropriate seat heat/cool ventilation blowers will be operated by the CCSM.
Seat Heat/Cool Ventilation Blowers
The ventilation blowers are self contained electronic air conditioners consisting of a blower motor
with an inlet air filter, thermal electric device (TED), temperature sensor, and waste air duct. The air
flow from the blower is divided into 2 streams and directed across both sides of the TED, one side
into vent passages through the seat foam and the other out the waste air duct. While the system is
operating in either the heat or cool modes both heated and cooled air is generated as it passes
across the TED. When voltage is applied to a TED, one side releases energy as heat, while the
opposite side absorbs energy and gets cold. Heat or cool modes are determined by the polarity of
the supply voltage to the TEDs. The climate control seat modules (CCSM) rely on inputs from
temperature sensors located in the ventilation blowers near the TEDs to control seat temperatures.
The thermistors are 2 wire sensors supplied with a 5 V referenced signal circuit and a low
reference circuit from the CCSM. Resistance through the thermistors varies with temperature
causing the heated seat sensor signal circuit voltage levels to decrease as the TED temperatures
rise. The CCSM monitors the temperature of the air flow into the seat foam and continuously
adjusts the blower speed and TED temperature by regulating the current flow through each
component.

2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool hood position parameter displays Open.
‹› If the hood position does not display Open, refer toDiagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
(See: Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions) for DTC P254F.
3. Verify the resistance of each fuel injector with one of the following methods:
* If the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between 10-32°C (50-90°F), the resistance of
each fuel injector should be 11-14 ohms.
‹› If the injectors measure OK, perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test - Fuel Pressure Test. ‹› If not
within the specified range, replace the fuel injector.
* If the ECT sensor is not between 10-32°C (50-90°F), measure and record the resistance of each
fuel injector with a DMM. Subtract the lowest resistance value from the highest resistance value.
The difference between the lowest value and the highest value should be equal to or less than 3
ohms.
‹› If the difference is equal to or less than 3 ohms, refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test - Fuel
Pressure Test for further diagnosis of the fuel
injectors.
‹› If the difference is more than 3 ohms, add all of the fuel injector resistance values to obtain a
total resistance value. Divide the total
resistance value by the number of fuel injectors to obtain an average resistance value. Subtract the
lowest individual fuel injector resistance value from the average resistance value. Compute the
difference between the highest individual fuel injector resistance value and the average resistance
value. Replace the fuel injector that displays the greatest difference above or below the average.
Important:
* DO NOT perform this test if the engine coolant temperature (ECT) is above 94°C (201°F).
Irregular fuel pressure readings may result due to hot soak fuel boiling.
* Verify that adequate fuel is in the fuel tank before proceeding with this diagnostic.
* Before proceeding with this test review the User Manual CH 48027-5 for Safety Information and
Instructions.

amp position. 2. Connect the J 39021 to a fuel injector with aJ 44602 . 3. Command the fuel pump
relay ON and then OFF three times with a scan tool. On the last command, as the fuel pressure
begins to slowly degrade
and stabilize, select a fuel pressure within 34 kPa (5 psi) of the maximum pump pressure. Record
this fuel pressure. This is the starting pressure at which you will pulse each injector.
4. Command the fuel pump relay ON one more time and energize the fuel injector by depressing
the Push to Start Test button on the J 39021 at the
previously selected pressure.
5. After the injector stops pulsing, select Min from the Display Mode and record the Min pressure.
Important: New test results will not be recorded if the Min/Max results are not cleared after each
injector is tested.

camshaft lobe, the valve spring force is reduced, allowing the locking pins to move, deactivating the
intake valve. However, when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the exhaust valve for the
deactivated cylinder is in the closed position, allowing the locking pins on the valve lifter to move
immediately, and deactivate the exhaust valve.
By deactivating the exhaust valve first, this allows the capture of a burnt air/fuel charge or exhaust
gas charge in the combustion chamber. The capture of exhaust gases in the combustion chamber
will contribute to a reduction in oil consumption, noise and vibration levels, and exhaust emissions
when operating in V4 mode cylinder deactivation mode.
During the transition from V8 to V4 mode, the fuel injectors will be turned OFF on the deactivated
cylinders. To help prevent spark plug fouling, the ignition system secondary voltage or spark is still
present across the spark plug electrodes on the deactivated cylinders. If all enabling conditions are
met and maintained for cylinder deactivation operation, the ECM calibrations will limit cylinder
deactivation to a cycle time of 10 minutes in V4 mode, then return to V8 mode for 1 minute.
Switching between V8 and V4 modes is accomplished in less than 250 milliseconds, making the
transitions seamless and transparent to the vehicle operator. The 250 milliseconds includes the
time for the ECM to sequence the transitions, the response time for the VLOM solenoids to
energize, and the time for the valve lifters to deactivate, all within 2 revolutions of the engine
crankshaft.
Valve Lifter Oil Manifold (VLOM) Assembly
The cylinder deactivation system uses an electro-hydraulic actuator device called the valve lifter oil
manifold (VLOM) assembly. The VLOM is bolted to the top of the engine valley, below the intake
manifold assembly. The VLOM consists of 4 electrically operated normally closed solenoids. Each
solenoid controls the application of engine oil pressure to the intake and exhaust valve lifters on the
cylinders selected to deactivate. Engine oil pressure is routed to the VLOM assembly from an
internal oil passage on the rear of the cylinder block.
All 4 VLOM solenoids are connected in parallel to a fused ignition 1 voltage circuit, supplied by the
powertrain relay. The ground or control circuit for each solenoid is connected to a low side driver
internal to the engine control module (ECM).
When all enabling conditions are met for cylinder deactivation, the ECM will ground each solenoid
control circuit in firing order sequence, allowing current to flow through the solenoid windings. With
the coil windings energized, the solenoid valve opens, redirecting engine oil pressure through the
VLOM into 8 separate vertical passages in the engine lifter valley. The 8 vertical passages, 2 per
cylinder, are connected to the valve lifter bores of the cylinders to be deactivated. When vehicle
operating conditions require a return to V8 mode, the ECM will turn OFF the control circuit for the
solenoids, allowing the solenoid valves to close. With the solenoid valves closed, engine oil
pressure in the control ports is exhausted through the body of the solenoids into the engine block
lifter valley. The housing of the VLOM incorporates several bleeds in the oil passages to purge any
air trapped in the VLOM or engine block.
To help control contamination to the hydraulic circuits, a small replaceable oil screen is located in
the VLOM oil inlet passage, below the oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure sensor is a 3-wire
sensor which provides oil pressure information to the ECM.
During service, use extreme care in keeping the VLOM assembly free of any contamination or
foreign material.
Cylinder deactivation may be inhibited for many reasons, including the following:
* Engine coolant temperature out of range for cylinder activation
* Engine vacuum out of range
* Brake booster vacuum out of range
* Transmission gear incorrect or shift in progress
* Accelerator pedal out of range or rate of pedal application too fast
* Engine oil pressure and temperature out of range
* Engine speed out of range
* Vehicle speed out of range
* Minimum time in V8 mode not met
* Maximum V4 mode time exceeded
* Decel fuel cutoff active
* Reduced engine power active
* Torque management active
* Catalytic converter over temperature protection active
* Piston protection active, knock detected
* Cylinder deactivation solenoid driver circuit faults

5. If the HVAC module has a blower motor cooling tube, be careful NOT TO SPRAY THE
COOLING COIL COATING INTO THE
BLOWER MOTOR COOLING TUBE.
6. Attach the Flexible Applicator Pressure Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) to a compressed air line
operating at 586 kPa (85 psi) to 793 kPa (115 psi). 7. Shake the bottle of Cooling Coil Coating well.
Screw the bottle onto the cap on the applicator tool's pick-up tube.
Note The pick-up tube is designed for 120 ml (4 oz) and 240 ml (8 oz) bottles and should coil
slightly in the bottom of a 120 ml (4 oz) bottle.
8. Use one of the following three methods to apply the Cooling Coil Coating.
Important If the Pressure Applicator Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) is not available, the Cooling Coil
Coating is also available in an aerosol can (P/N 12377951 (in Canada, 10953503)).
Application Through Blower Motor Control Module Opening
- Remove the blower motor control module (blower motor resistor). Refer to the applicable
procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor blower
motor control module (blower motor resistor) opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor blower motor control module (blower
motor control module).
Application Through Blower Motor Opening
- Remove the blower motor. Refer to the applicable blower motor removal procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor.
Application Through a Hole in the HVAC Module
- If neither of the two previous application methods are available, it may be necessary to drill a hole
in the HVAC module.
- Locate an area of the HVAC module between the blower motor and the evaporator core. Drill a 10
mm (3/8 in) hole in the HVAC module. Use caution to keep the drill clear of the evaporator core and
the blower motor fan.
- With the air distribution vents closed and the blower motor fan speed on HIGH, insert the
applicator tool into the hole and spray the Cooling Coil Coating into the airstream toward the
evaporator core.
- Use a GM approved RTV sealant to plug the hole in the HVAC module.
9. After the Cooling Coil Coating application is complete, start and run the vehicle for approximately
10 minutes, with the compressor disabled,
HVAC mode set to Recirculate/Max, heat set to full warm, blower motor fan speed on high, and
one window open approximately 12 mm (1/2 in). This cures the Cooling Coil Coating onto the
evaporator core surface.
10. While the engine is running, rinse the applicator tool with warm water to prolong the life of the
tool. Be sure to spray warm water through the
nozzle to rinse out any residual Cooling Coil Coating still in the capillary pick up tube, otherwise it
will dry and clog the applicator tool. Also remove the small green valve from the bottle cap and
rinse it thoroughly while rolling it between two fingers and then reinstall it. If this valve is clogged ,
the Cooling Coil Coating will not flow through the applicator tool.
11. Shut off the engine and enable the compressor again. 12. Verify proper HVAC system
operation. 13. Remove the protective cover from inside the vehicle. 14. Remove the drain pan from
underneath the vehicle. 15. Reinstall the cabin air filter if necessary.

Service and Repair
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer toSIR Identification Views (See: Locations) .
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose inflator modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 91 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any Inflatable restraint air bag module
* Inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
* Any Inflatable restraint sensor
* Inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioners
* Inflatable restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) module or sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note
The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams) orElectrical Center
Identification Views (See: Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse
Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) .

cleaner outlet duct at the resonator tab in order to separate the resonator from the stud on the
intake manifold. 7. Remove the air cleaner outlet duct (3) from the throttle body and MAF/IAT
sensor.
Installation Procedure
Note
Ensure that the notch in the air cleaner outlet duct throttle body aligns with the boss on top of the
throttle body.
1. Install the air cleaner outlet duct (3) to the throttle body and MAF/IAT sensor. Ensure that the
resonator tab aligns with the stud on the intake
manifold.
2. Push down on the air cleaner outlet duct resonator directly over the resonator tab in order to
secure the resonator to the stud on the intake
manifold.
3. Tighten the air cleaner outlet duct clamp (2) at the throttle body.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Warranty Information
Important Implementation of this service bulletin by all dealers requires prior District Service
Manager (DVM) (in Canada, the Warranty Manager) approval.
Page 5899
Installation Procedure
Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution) .
2. Install the HO2S (2).
Tighten the sensor to 42 Nm (31 lb ft).
3. Connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector (2) to the HO2S electrical connector (1).

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

5. Release the upper wire dress cover locking tab. 6. Once the locks are unlocked, lift the dress
cover off.
Note
Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it.
7. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the locking tabs on both sides of the
TPA . Gently pry the TPA out of the connector.

to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
Terminal Repair Procedure
Refer to the terminal crimping procedure in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 Terminal Repair
Kit.
Terminal Replacement Procedure
After the terminal is crimped to the wire, perform the following procedure in order to replace the
terminal.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the connector disassembly procedure.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Specification
Maximum brake master cylinder (BMC) primary piston travel, (measured with the ignition ON,
engine OFF, brake modulator and HPA depressurized, and the brakes cool), at a brake pedal apply
force of 5,000 kPa (725 psi) : 18 mm (0.71 in).
Warning
It is recommended that you use the J-29532-A pressure bleeder or a diaphragm type (ball bleeder)
which is capable of delivering 200 kPa (30 psi) for the bleed procedure. Follow and read all the
directions on the Tech 2(R) for completing the Automated Bleed procedure and do every step
during the bleed procedure. If you miss a step, you must start over. The EBCM Relearn will occur
during the automated brake bleed procedure, so make sure you maintain battery voltage during the
entire procedure. Failure to provide a constant 200 kPa (30 psi) may cause air to be trapped in the
brake system and may cause brake performance problems or DTCs to occur. Tool J-29532-A has
been tested extensively on this application and has proven to provide the necessary pressure and
volume of brake fluid. Vacuum bleeding and other brake bleeding tools are NOT acceptable for this
procedure.
- If the brake pedal travel is greater than 18 mm (0.71 in), perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the brake system for leaks and visual damage. Repair or replace the components as
necessary.
2. Perform the automated brake bleed procedure. Refer to Antilock Brake System Automated
Bleed Procedure-Hybrid (HP2) in SI.
- If the brake pedal feels spongy and/or the brake pedal travel is still excessive after performing the
automated brake bleed procedure and no external brake fluid leaks or damage were found, inspect
the hydraulic brake system for internal leaks, etc. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Diagnosis
(Two-mode Hybrid) in SI.
11. Clear all the codes from the modules.
12. Start the vehicle and allow the brake system to pressurize.
13. Drive the vehicle up to 32 km/h (20 mph) and perform several heavy brake stops.
14. Verify that the condition has been corrected.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and warranty information.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-04-019C (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System)
Condition
- Some customers may comment on an intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) being
Illuminated with a message or an indicator that displays Reduced Engine Power.
- The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P2138 - Accelerator Pedal Position (APP)
Sensor 1-2 Correlation set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by water intrusion into the instrument panel (IP) to body harness
connector, which carries the APP sensor signals to the ECM/PCM. This water intrusion results in a
voltage difference between APP Sensor 1 and APP Sensor 2 that exceeds a predetermined value
for more than a calibrated period of time, setting P2138.
Correction
Note Aftermarket equipment can generate DTC P2138 and/or other DTCs.
1. Verify that aftermarket equipment is not electrically connected to any of the APP sensor signal or
low reference circuits or to any other ECM/PCM
5V reference or low reference circuits. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories in SI.
2. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle.
‹› If any 5V reference DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. ‹› If any
5V reference DTCs are not set, proceed to Step 3.
3. Locate the IP to body harness connector, which may be located in and around the left hand kick
panel area or inside the IP. Depending on the
vehicle and model year, refer to Wiring Systems or Power and Signal Distribution in SI.
Note Some examples of potential water leaks are: A-pillar seals, sunroof drain lines (if equipped)
and windshield/cowl sealing.
4. Inspect for a water leak in the area. If necessary use a water hose to determine the source of the
leak. Refer to General Information > Water Leaks
in SI.
‹› If a water leak is observed, repair as necessary. Verify the effectiveness of the repair.
5. Inspect the IP to body harness connector terminals for corrosion and debris. Refer to Testing for
Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in
SI.
‹› If any corrosion and/or debris is observed, repair as necessary.
6. After completing the repair, verify the proper operation of the system. Depending on the vehicle
and model year, perform the Diagnostic Repair
Verification procedure or refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in SI.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-66-003 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the hard tonneau rear latch is not functioning properly or that
the tonneau cover is loose on the vehicle, causing noticeable movement during vehicle operation.
Cause
This condition may be caused by both sides of the latch not engaging or releasing at the same
time, or the tonneau frame may be misaligned.
Correction
Note
The tonneau cover latches contain multiple design features to accommodate for build variation of
the pickup box and tonneau cover.
Use the following repair process to obtain proper latch operation:
Inspect/Adjust Latch to Striker Loop Interface
Side to Side Adjustment
1. Lower the endgate. 2. Slowly lower the tonneau cover from the open to closed position. Use
caution not to drop or slam the tonneau cover closed as this may damage the
latch assembly.
3. Inspect the fit of the latch into the striker loop just before the U-shaped catch is engaged. The
latch should fit into the striker loop without
contacting any portion of the rear bracket or striker loop. If contact is observed, proceed with the
following steps:
1. Loosen the two nuts of the rotary latch that is making contact to the striker loop assembly with a
7/16 inch wrench. 2. Slide the rotary latch side to side until the latch freely falls into the rear striker
loop. 3. Tighten the rotary latch nuts to 2.26 Nm (20 lb in). 4. Inspect the operation of the latches by
turning the twist handle. If the latches do not close or release properly, adjust the latch wire per the
Inspect/Adjust Latch Release Operation section of this document.
Up and Down Adjustment
1. Lower the endgate. 2. Close the tonneau cover by pushing down on the panel near the twist
handle on the top of the tonneau cover. 3. Inspect the fit of the tonneau cover side seal to the
pickup box. If the seal does not have complete contact, lower the striker loop until the seal has
complete contact using the following steps:
1. Loosen the two 1/4 inch nuts that hold the striker plate to the rear bracket. 2. Lower the striker
loop. 3. Tighten the 1/4 inch nuts to 13.5 Nm (120 lb in). 4. Inspect for seal contact and repeat
procedure as necessary.
4. Close the endgate. 5. Close the tonneau cover by pushing down on the panel near the twist
handle on the top of the tonneau cover. 6. Inspect that both latches have engaged by lifting up on
the corner of the tonneau.

Checking Aftermarket Accessories
Checking Aftermarket Accessories Warning: Refer to SIR Warning (See: Restraint
Systems/Service Precautions/SIR Warning) .
Caution: The OBD II symbol is used on the circuit diagrams in order to alert the technician that the
circuit is essential for proper OBD II emission control circuit operation. Any circuit which fails and
causes the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to turn ON, or causes emissions-related component
damage, is identified as an OBD II circuit.
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
* SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
* OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol.
Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical
problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on
accessories are not the cause of the problems.
Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include:
* Power feeds connected to points other than the battery
* Antenna location
* Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring
* Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line
* Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories.
Circuit Testing
Circuit Testing
The Circuit Testing section contains the following diagnostic testing information. Using this
information along with the diagnostic procedures will identify the cause of the electrical malfunction.
* Using Connector Test Adapters (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.

ATTENTION
The information found in this bulletin is to be used as a dealership service consultant procedures
for customers coming into the service lane with an illuminated "low tire light" or comments on a
check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message.
Maintaining proper tire pressures is an Owner's Maintenance item and is not covered under

This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update additional bulletin reference
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-03-16-002 (Section 03 -- Suspension).
Customer Concerns and Confusion with the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
The following procedure should be used by dealership service consultants when a customer comes
into the service drive with a "low tire light" on or comments on a check tire pressure/low tire
pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message. The service consultant should
perform the following steps:
Procedure
Turn the key to ON, without starting the engine.
^ If the low tire light comes on and stays on solid with a check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add
air to tire message (on vehicles equipped with DIC),
advise the customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Properly adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels and driving the vehicle will turn
the light off (refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
^ If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light blinks for one minute then stays on solid with a service
tire monitor system message (on vehicles equipped
with DIC):
- A TPM system problem exists. The vehicle should be written up accordingly and sent to your
service department for further DTC diagnosis and service.
- If dashes (--) are displayed in only one or two of the tire pressure readouts, it is likely caused by a
previous TPM system relearn that was performed incorrectly due to interference from another
vehicle's TPM system during the relearn process (refer to the Important statement later in this
bulletin regarding TPM relearn with a Tech 2(R)).
- If dashes (--) are displayed in all four of the tire pressure readouts, there is a system problem.
Follow the appropriate SI service procedures.
^ If a customer indicates the low tire light comes on for a few minutes when the vehicle is started,
then goes off after driving a while, advise the
customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Most likely, air pressure in one or more of the tires is low enough to turn the light on when tires
are cold. After driving for a while, tires will heat

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Engine Oil: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE OIL
Look for three things:
1. Use only an oil that meets GM Standard GM6094M.
2. Temperatures above -20°F (-29°C), SAE 5W-30 is best for the vehicle. These numbers on an oil
container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-40,
SAE 20W-50 or any other viscosity grade oil not recommended.
3. American Petroleum Institute (API) starburst symbol
Oils meeting these requirements should have the starburst symbol on the container. This symbol
indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
Notice: Use only engine oil identified as meeting GM Standard GM6094M and showing the
American Petroleum Institute Certified For Gasoline Engines starburst symbol. Failure to use the
recommended oil can result in engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty.
COLD TEMPERATURE OPERATION If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls
below -20°F (-29°C), use either an SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil or an SAE 0W-30 engine oil. Both
provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. Always use an oil that
meets the required specification, GM6094M.
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES / ENGINE OIL FLUSHES Do not add anything to the oil. The
recommended oils with the starburst symbol that meet GM Standard GM6094M are all that is
needed for good performance and engine protection.
Engine oil system flushes are not recommended and could cause engine damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty.

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

4. The terminal positive assurance (TPA) is located in the front of the connector.
5. Use a small flat-blade tool to remove TPA from the connector.
Page 10266
Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

Bulletin No.: 10-08-46-001
Date: January 27, 2010
Subject: Radio Does Not Mute Enough When OnStar(R) Turn-by Turn Navigation Directions Are
Announced (Increase Volume Setting or Request Soft Mute Feature Change Through OnStar(R)
Customer Service)
Models:
2009-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 2009
Saab 9-7X All Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
Condition
Some customers may comment that when the radio is on, it does not mute enough when the
OnStar(R) Turn-by-Turn Navigation directions are announced.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the customer improperly setting the radio volume high enough
when the Turn-by-Turn Navigation messages are played.
The 2009 and 2010 models with OnStar(R) initiates a "soft mute" feature when the radio is on
during Turn-by-Turn Navigation direction announcements. During the announcement, the radio can
still be heard at a very low volume. Previous model years initiated a "hard mute" during this
function which completely muted the radio audio.
Correction
Instruct the customer to increase the radio volume while getting the Turn-by-Turn Navigation
direction announcements. You can control the message volume using the radio volume control,
only when the Turn-by-Turn navigation messages are playing.
Some customers that were accustomed to previous model vehicles with the "hard mute" feature
may be dissatisfied with the function of the "soft mute" feature. For those customers, contact the
OnStar(R) Customer Service Center by pushing the Blue OnStar(R) Button to speak to a trained
Advisor and request a change be made to the vehicle from the "soft mute" setting to that of the
hard or complete muting of audio playback during Turn by Turn directions. OnStar(R) will then
create a case number. Advise the customer that the vehicle update should be completed Over the
Air within 5 business days, after which an OnStar(R) Customer Care advisor will follow-up with the
customer to verify the fix. If the customer does not hear back from OnStar(R) within a week, advise
them to press the Blue OnStar(R) Button and ask for Customer Care to check status.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the Air Bag Readiness Light is on. There may also be a
Service Air Bag Message on the Driver Information Center (DIC). Upon further investigation, the
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) may be corroded.
Cause
This condition may be caused by an unseated parking brake cable grommet causing water
intrusion under the carpet or vinyl floor, resulting in wet padding. Power washing the vinyl floor
and/or customer snow boots can introduce water to the padding above the SDM area. As the
padding gets wet, water wicks through the padding towards the SDM over time. Over an extended
period of time of constant exposure to water with potential salt/calcium and other elements, the
SDM surface starts to corrode.
Correction
1. Replace the SDM per SI procedures. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic
Module Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect the SDM connector for corrosion. If corrosion is evident,
repair or replace the connector. Refer to SIR/SRS Wiring Repairs in SI. 3. Verify the parking brake
cable grommet is sealed properly.
Important Cut and remove the padding from around the SDM as instructed whenever the SDM is
serviced even if no corrosion is evident to prevent future moisture and corrosion to the SDM and
connector.
4. Cut and remove padding from the area around and above the SDM. Refer to illustration above.
Make an addition cut to remove all of the padding
above the SDM.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 and 2009 model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-49-014 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment that a "Park Assist Off" message is appearing on the Driver
Information center (DIC) at times.
There are several factors listed above that can cause this message to appear. A Tech 2 can be
used to access the latest entry into the Park Assist Module history buffer to help determine a
cause.
Engineering has received multiple inhibited Rear park Assist Modules through warranty parts return
with attached object stored in the latest history buffer. If a vehicle has a trailer hitch installed into
the trailer hitch receiver, it is possible for the rear park assist to be disabled. Once the trailer hitch is
removed, the message should go away. Other possible causes may be dirty sensors. Keep the
rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
Important:
Please note that any object that is installed in the receiver hitch, extending from the rear of the
vehicle, or blocking the sensors can disable the Parking Assist, resulting in the message "Park
Assist Off". Please remove the object or obstruction from the vehicle to re-enable the system. This
is normal operation of the system.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-46-002C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on an audio whine coming from the radio speakers when using the
OnStar(R) system. The amplitude and frequency of the whine will change with an increase or
decrease in engine speed.
Cause
This condition may be caused by electrical noise on the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication
Interface Module (VCIM) battery feed wire being passed to the microphone output pins at the radio.
Correction
Technicians are to install a noise suppression filter, P/N 1224205, into the OnStar(R) battery
voltage circuit, a few centimeters (inches) from the VCIM. The filter package has three attached
wires - a single yellow wire at one end with a yellow wire and a black wire at the other. Install the
single yellow wire side into the battery voltage circuit towards the VCIM. Install the remaining single
yellow wire into the battery voltage circuit toward the fuse and the black wire to ground.
Important The noise suppression filter is polarity sensitive. The filter is designed to be most
effective when the end with the capacitor ground is connected towards the source of the electrical
noise. Install the filter in this polarity first. If the noise level is still not satisfactory, try disconnecting
the capacitor ground. In some cases, if the first installation does not correct the noise, try reversing
the filter polarity (removing the filter, turning it end for end and then reinstalling it) and grounding
the capacitor lead.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to considerably expand the available information on
Radial Force Variation (RFV) and should be reviewed in whole. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Important
- Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven
a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires.
- Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel
assemblies for each vehicle.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation
measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable
tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force
variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads.
Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out
of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three
conditions must be addressed.
Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle,
two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any
imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer,
and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly
balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration.
Before balancing, perform the following procedures.
Tire and Wheel Diagnosis
1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are
centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while
shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick.
3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and
correct as necessary:
- Missing balance weights
- Bent rim flange
- Irregular tire wear
- Incomplete bead seating
- Tire irregularities (including pressure settings)
- Mud/ice build-up in wheel
- Stones in the tire tread
- Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to
diagnosing a smooth road shake condition.
4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a
sufficient distance on a known, smooth road
surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes
are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section
of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration
as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order
(one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high
enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high
to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment.
If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a
throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type

GM's carpeted and all-weather (rubber) floor mats are especially designed for use in specific GM
vehicles. Using floor mats that were not designed for the specific vehicle or using them incorrectly
may cause interference with the accelerator or brake pedal. Please review the following safety
guidelines regarding proper driver's side floor mat usage with the customer.
Warning
If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not properly installed, it can interfere with the accelerator pedal
and/or brake pedal. Interference with the pedals can cause unintended acceleration and/or
increased stopping distance which can cause a crash and injury. Make sure the floor mat does not
interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal.
- Do not flip the driver's floor mat over (in an effort to keep the floor mat clean)
- Do not place anything on top of the driver's floor mat (e.g. carpet remnant, towel)
- Do not place another mat on top of the driver's floor mat (e.g. do not place all-weather rubber
mats over carpeted floor mats)
- Only use floor mats that are designed specifically for your vehicle
- When using replacement mats, make certain the mats do not interfere with the accelerator or
brake pedal before driving the vehicle

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at
the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical.
Camber settings influence the directional control and the tire wear.
Too much positive camber will result in premature wear on the outside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Too much negative camber will result in premature wear on the inside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Unequal side-to-side camber of 1 degree or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side
with the most positive camber.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B
Date: November 18, 2010
Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Page 11332
8. Remove and discard the HPA O-ring seal (1). 9. Remove any debris from the O-ring seal groove
in the brake modulator assembly with a clean, lint-free shop cloth.
10. If replacing the HPA, properly render inert and dispose of the HPA. Refer to Power Brake
Booster Pump Fluid Accumulator Disposal (See:
Procedures) .
Installation Procedure
1. Lubricate a new O-ring seal (1) with Delco Supreme 11(R), GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N
992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a
clean, sealed brake fluid container.
2. Install the O-ring seal to the HPA. Ensure the seal is fully seated in the groove of the HPA and is
not twisted.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,
Equinox, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse 2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon 2009
Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Hybrid Service Transmissions/Auxiliary Fluid Pump
New hybrid service transmissions include a 2010 model year transmission auxiliary fluid pump that
utilizes an updated connector that will not plug into the transmission auxiliary fluid pump control
module. This includes the following service transmission part numbers:
- 2008 2WD - P/N 24256371
- 2008 4WD - P/N 24256372
- 2009 2WD - P/N 24256375
- 2009 4WD - P/N 24256376
The 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pump, P/N 19207983, has a different connector that does not
match previous model year service transmissions. Internally, the 2010 auxiliary fluid pump is
identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid
pump control module utilizing a replacement service connector on the control module.
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump service part will be replaced by the 2010 version
and will be required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. Service replacement for these
vehicles will also require a replacement service connector to interface with a 2008-2009
transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module.
Transmission Auxiliary Fluid Pump Control Module
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module service part will be replaced by
the 2010 version and is required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. The 2010 transmission
auxiliary fluid pump control module, P/N 29546636, includes different connectors that do not match
previous model year transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and engine wiring harnesses. Internally, the
2010 auxiliary fluid pump control module is identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with
a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness utilizing replacement
service connectors on the transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness.
Instructions
Follow the tables below when servicing 2008 and 2009 model year vehicles with the above hybrid
service transmissions, 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and 2010 transmission auxiliary
fluid pump control modules.
Refer to Component Connector End Views, Hybrid Controls Schematics and Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves in SI for additional information on these connectors, circuits and use of the
splice sleeves included with the service connectors listed below.
Important The connectors listed are standard "pigtail" type splice connectors with 406 mm (16 in)
leads. When installing, cut the pigtail leads back to a length just long enough to install the splice
connectors. When cutting off the original connector, cut the harness just behind the connector
body. Performing these steps will insure the harness remains as close as possible to the original
length. It is especially important to not cut beyond the sealed portion of the auxiliary fluid pump
harness.

Drive/Propeller Shaft: Description and Operation
Propeller Shaft Description and Operation
The propeller shaft is a tube with universal joints at both ends which do not require periodic
maintenance, that transmit power from the transfer case or transmission output shaft to the
differential.
Front Propeller Shaft Description
The front propeller shaft transmits rotating force from the transfer case to the front differential when
the transfer case is engaged. The front propeller shaft connects to the transfer case using a splined
slip joint.
One Piece Propeller Shaft Description
A 1 piece propeller shaft uses a splined slip joint to connect the driveline to the transmission or
transfer case.
Two Piece Propeller Shaft Description
There are 3 universal joints used on the two piece propeller shaft, A center bearing assembly is
used to support the propeller shaft connection point, and help isolate the vehicle from vibration.
Propeller Shaft Phasing Description
The propeller shaft is designed and built with the yoke lugs (ears) in line with each other. This
produces the smoothest running shaft possible. A propeller shaft designed with built in yoke lugs in
line is known as in - phase. An out of phase propeller shaft often causes vibration. The propeller
shaft generates vibration from speeding up and slowing down each time the universal joint goes
around. The vibration is the same as a person snapping a rope and watching the wave reaction
flow to the end. An in phase propeller shaft is similar to 2 persons snapping a rope at the same
time and watching the waves meet and cancel each other out. A total cancellation of vibration
produces a smooth flow of power in the drive line. All splined shaft slip yokes are keyed in order to
ensure proper phasing.
Universal Joint Description
The universal joint is connected to the propeller shaft. The universal consist of 4 caps with needle
bearings and grease seals mounted on the trunnions of a cross or spider. These bearings and caps
are greased at the factory and no periodic maintenance is required. There are 2 universal joints
used in a one piece propeller shaft and 3 used in two piece propeller shaft. The bearings and caps
are pressed into the yokes and held in place with snap rings, except for 2 bearings on some
models witch are strapped onto the pinion flange of the differential. Universal joints are designed to
handle the effects of various loads and rear axle windup conditions during acceleration and
braking. The universal joint operates efficiently and safely within the designed angle variations.
when the design angles are exceeded, the operational life of the joint decreases.
Center Bearing Description
Center bearings support the driveline when using 2 or more propeller shafts. The center bearing is
a ball bearing mounted in a rubber cushion that attaches to a frame crossmember. The
manufacturer prelubricates and seals the bearing. The cushion allows vertical motion at the
driveline and helps isolate the vehicle from vibration.

If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation

Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions )provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the engine control module (ECM) supplies power to the in-tank fuel
pump, by energizing the fuel pump relay. The in-tank fuel pump remains ON as long as the engine
is cranking or running and the ECM receives crankshaft reference pulses. If there are no reference
pulses, the ECM turns the in-tank fuel pump OFF, 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON
or 2 seconds after the engine stops running. The electric fuel pump is incorporated into the modular
fuel pump and sender assembly and is located inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies fuel
through a fuel filter, also located in the modular fuel pump and sender assembly, through the fuel
feed pipes, to the fuel rail assembly. The fuel pump provides fuel at a pressure above the pressure
needed by the fuel injectors. The fuel pressure regulator, located in the modular fuel pump and
sender assembly, keeps the fuel available to the fuel injectors at a regulated pressure. When the
fuel pressure rises above the pressure regulator calibration, the pressure is relieved, with excess
fuel exhausted into the modular fuel pump and sender assembly reservoir.

This bulletin is being revised to update the models to include full size trucks. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 08-09-41-009 (Section 09 - Restraints).
Technicians may find a DTC B0081 5A in some of the vehicles listed above. The sensing and
diagnostic module (SDM) is setting this DTC due to an issue with the messages in the software for
the SDM.
Technicians should check for DTCs while the ignition is in RUN. If DTC B0081 5A is set in history,
there is no need for any parts replacement. The only way this code is set in history is if the key is
left in ACC for more than 10 seconds. The passenger side tell tale airbag light in the cluster will
stay on solid until the key is in RUN or OFF. For example, the customer will have the car parked,
key in ACC and listening to the radio the light comes on and the DTC B0081 5A sets.
If you are checking the vehicle after this event, you will find DTC B0081 5A in history if the IGN is in
RUN.
If you turn the key to the ACC position for more than 10 seconds with the Tech 2(R) tool
connected, the code will be current as long as you are in the ACC position.
If the key is moved to RUN or OFF, the telltale light will go off and the code will go immediately to
history (reference to PIC4917 DTC B0081 5A In History).
This condition will only occur with the following passenger presence system (PPS) module part
numbers:
^ 25977948 (CK) (All)
^ 94216444 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92221553 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92219364 (G8) (Cloth)
Remember that any time the vehicle is brought into service that the customer could have operated
the vehicle in ACC for more than 10 seconds. This will cause the passenger side airbag light to
come on solid in the cluster. Please tell the customer that this is a normal operating characteristic.
If DTC B0081 5A is current while the ignition is in RUN, please check all connections and wiring.
Check the seat connector located on the right side under the sill plate in the door opening. Pull the
seat out of the vehicle and check for PPS wiring and make sure all connectors are connected.
ThePPS Module has two connections one for the seat harness and one for the sensor mat (the
sensor mat is located between the seat foam cushion and seat pan).
If other DTCs are current, follow the diagnostics in SI. (There are two SDM DTC s related to PPS:
B0081 71 - Passenger Presence System 1 Invalid Serial Data Received and U0170 - Lost
Communication With Restraints System Sensor A (PPS)).

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

8. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.

Bulletin No.: 09-06-04-026C
Date: August 13, 2010
Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009
HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 Equipped with V8 Gas Powered Engines Only
Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 06-00-89-029E (Section 00 - General Information).
To keep the vehicle interior looking the best, it should be cleaned often. It is important to keep the
upholstery from becoming heavily soiled. The vehicle's interior can experience extreme heat, which
can cause stains to set quickly. Lighter color interiors may require more frequent cleaning. Care
should be taken because newspapers and garments may transfer color to the vehicle's interior.
Many of today's interiors are made with new low gloss materials. Permanent damage may result
from using cleaners on ANY surfaces (interior trim, instrument panel, carpet, leather, vinyl and
fabric) for which they are not intended. Using non-approved products can actually set the stain to
the point that nothing can remove it.
Important
Do not use silicone or wax-based products or those containing organic solvents (such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.) to clean your vehicle's interior because they can alter the appearance by increasing
the gloss in a non-uniform manner. The increase in gloss may cause annoying reflections in the
windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under certain conditions.
- Never use a STIFF brush or a brush that has been previously used with a harsh chemical. This
can cause damage to the vehicle's interior surfaces.
- Use only mild, Neutral-pH cleaners. Avoid laundry detergents or dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Using too much soap will leave residue that leaves streaks and attracts dirt.
Because it is critical to use only mild, neutral-pH cleaners, General Motors has approved the use of
the cleaners and conditioners listed in this bulletin for the cleaning of interiors. These products are
in the neutral-pH range and will maintain the best vehicle interior appearance. These products are
water-based, biodegradable, and do not contain bleach, solvents or harsh chemicals.
Interior trim pieces on new vehicles, as well as service components, arrive with a protective film.
When removing the protective film, adhesive residue may be left on the trim panels/components.
The cleaner (for leather, vinyl, plastic and interior paint) is an effective cleaner in removing
adhesive residue without causing damage to the component.
Important
- If soapy, alkaline cleaning solutions are used on fabrics, and not thoroughly rinsed out, the
residual left in the fabric will attract dirt. Because the recommended cleaners/conditioners are in the
pH neutral range, they won't leave behind soapy residue.
- On heavily stained or difficult to clean fabric/carpet, it is recommended that the entire surface be
treated and cleaned vs. spot cleaning. Refer to Extractor Machine and Concentrate section of this
bulletin for more information.
Effective cleaning steps for hard and/or plastic surfaces:
1. Using a clean towel, apply/spray cleaner - leather, vinyl, plastic, interior paint, directly onto the
towel. 2. Wipe the surface with the towel/cleaner. 3. If necessary, use a soft bristle brush to work
cleaner into the crevasses of the area being cleaned. 4. Wipe off any excess cleaner from the
surface. 5. Using a clean towel, apply/spray the conditioner (leather, vinyl restorer) directly onto the
towel. 6. Wipe the conditioner onto the previously cleaned area to restore the material to it's
original luster.
Important Today's interiors are developed and intended to have a low-gloss appearance. It is
important to use only products which provide a low-gloss finish in order to maintain the interior's
integrity, customer appeal and satisfaction.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Drive Belt: Description and Operation
Drive Belt System Description
The drive belt system consists of the following components:
* The drive belt
* The drive belt tensioner
* The drive belt idler pulley
* The crankshaft balancer pulley
* The accessory drive component mounting brackets
* The accessory drive components
- The power steering pump, if belt driven
- The generator
- The A/C compressor, if equipped
- The engine cooling fan, if belt driven
- The water pump, if belt driven
- The vacuum pump, if equipped
- The air compressor, if equipped
The drive belt system may use 1 belt or 2 belts. The drive belt is thin so that it can bend backwards
and has several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. The drive belts are made of different
types of rubbers, chloroprene or EPDM, and have different layers or plys containing either fiber
cloth or cords for reinforcement.
Both sides of the drive belt may be used to drive the different accessory drive components. When
the back side of the drive belt is used to drive a pulley, the pulley is smooth.
The drive belt is pulled by the crankshaft balancer pulley across the accessory drive component
pulleys. The spring loaded drive belt tensioner keeps constant tension on the drive belt to prevent
the drive belt from slipping. The drive belt tensioner arm will move when loads are applied to the
drive belt by the accessory drive components and the crankshaft.
The drive belt system may have an idler pulley, which is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys.
Some systems use an idler pulley in place of an accessory drive component when the vehicle is
not equipped with the accessory.

Equipped with Engine RPOs listed in the Table above and MULTEC(R) 2 Fuel Injectors
Attention:
GM does not support cleaning injectors on any engines that are not listed in this bulletin. Engines
other than the ones listed in this bulletin that diagnosis indicates having restricted injectors should
have those injectors replaced.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model year to 2009 and to provide
applicable engine RPO table. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-06-04-030F (Section
06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on any of the following various driveability symptoms:
- Extended Crank Time
- Hard to Start
- MIL/SES Illuminated with DTCs
- Hesitation
- Lack of Power
- Surge or Chuggle
- Rough Idle
- Light or Intermittent Misfire
Cause
Due to various factors, the fuel injectors may become restricted. Extensive testing has
demonstrated that fuel related issues are the cause of clogged injectors. At this point, no specific
fuel, fuel constituent, or engine condition has been identified as causing the restriction. The
restriction causes the engine to operate at a lean air fuel ratio. This may either trigger the MIL to
illuminate or the engine to develop various driveability symptoms.

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

Disclaimer
Page 2223
A wheel alignment will generally NOT correct vehicles that follow the road crown since this is within
"Normal Operation."
Mileage Policy
The following mileage policy applies for E2020 and E2000 labor operations: Note
Wheel Alignment is NOT covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for Express and Savana
Cutaway vehicles as these vehicles require Upfitters to set the wheel alignment after completing
the vehicles.
- 0-800 km (0-500 mi): E2000/E2020 claims ONLY allowed with Call Center Authorization. Due to
the tie down during shipping, the vehicle's suspension requires some time to reach normal
operating position. For this reason, new vehicles are generally NOT to be aligned until they have
accumulated at least 800 km (500 mi). A field product report should accompany any claim within
this mileage range.
- 801-12,000 km (501-7,500 mi):
- If a vehicle came from the factory with incorrect alignment settings, any resulting off-angle
steering wheel, lead/pull characteristics or the rare occurrence of excessive tire wear would be
apparent early in the life of the vehicle. The following policy applies:
- Vehicles 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe - Escalade/ESV/EXT,
Tahoe/Suburban, Yukon/XL/Denali, Silverado/Sierra, Express/Savana, Corvette and
Colorado/Canyon: E2000/E2020 Claims: Call Center Authorization Required
- All Vehicles NOT 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe as noted above:
E2000/E2020 Claims: Dealer Service Manager Authorization Required
- 12,001 km and beyond (7,501 miles and beyond): During this period, customers are responsible
for the wheel alignment expense or dealers may provide on a case-by case basis a one-time
customer enthusiasm claim up to 16,000 km (10,000 mi). In the event that a defective component
required the use of the subject labor operations, the identified defective component labor operation
will include the appropriate labor time for a wheel alignment as an add condition to the component
repair.
Important Only one wheel alignment labor operation claim (E2000 or E2020) may be used per VIN.
Warranty Documentation Requirements
When a wheel alignment service has been deemed necessary, the following items will need to be
clearly documented on/with the repair order:
- Customer concern in detail
- What corrected the customer concern?
- If a wheel alignment is performed:
- Consult SI for proper specifications.
- Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings.
- Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin)
1. Document the customer concern in as much detail as possible on the repair order and in the
warranty administration system. Preferred examples:
- Steering wheel is off angle in the counterclockwise direction by approximately x degrees or
clocking position.
- Vehicle lead/pulls to the right at approximately x-y mph. Vehicle will climb the road crown. Severe,
Moderate or Slight.
- RF and LF tires are wearing on the outside shoulders with severe feathering.
Important In the event of a lead/pull or steering wheel angle concern, please note the direction of
lead/pull (left or right) or direction of steering wheel angle (clockwise or counterclockwise) on the
repair order and within the warranty claim verbatim.
Important In the event of a tire wear concern, please note the position on the vehicle and where the
wear is occurring on the tire; i.e., the RF tire is wearing on the inside shoulder.
2. Document the technician's findings on cause and correction of the issue. Examples:
- Reset LF toe from 0.45 degrees to 0.10 degrees and RF toe from -0.25 degrees to 0.10 degrees
to correct the steering wheel angle from 5 degrees counterclockwise to 0 degrees.
- Reset LF camber from 0.25 degrees to -0.05 degrees to correct the cross-camber condition of
+0.30 degrees to 0.00 degrees on the vehicle.
- Front Sum toe was found to be 0.50 degrees, reset to 0.20 degrees.
3. Print-out the "Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings and attach them to the
Repair Order or if print-out capability is not
Page 11752
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

Important
When using any one of the brake labor operations listed in this bulletin (except for H9709 - Brake
Burnish), the following two rotor measurements (1. Original Rotor Thickness, 2. Refinished Rotor
Thickness are required and MUST be written/documented on the repair order, or for your
convenience, complete the form (GM Brake Service Repair Order Documentation for Required
Measurements) shown above and attach it to the repair order. If the Warranty Parts Center
generates a request, this Documentation/Form must be attached to the repair order that is sent
back.
Important
Documentation of brake lathe maintenance and calibration as recommended by the lathe
manufacturer must be available for review upon request.
Repair Order Documentation - Rotor Original And Refinished Thickness - REQUIRED
When resurfacing a brake rotor or drum, the ORIGINAL thickness (measured thickness before
refinish) and REFINISHED thickness (measured thickness after refinish) MUST be
written/documented on the repair order hard copy for each rotor serviced. If a rotor replacement is
necessary, only the original thickness measurement needs to be recorded.
Repair Order Documentation - Explanation of Part Replacement - REQUIRED
If replacement of a brake component is necessary, proper documentation on the repair order is
required. See the following examples:
^ Brake rotor replacement - Customer comment was brake pulsation. Rotor was refinished on a
prior brake service. After rotor measurement, it was determined that refinishing the rotor again
would take it under the Minimum Thickness specification.
^ Brake pad replacement - Customer comment was brake squeak noise. On inspection, found pads
contaminated by fluid leak at caliper.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
Engine Control Module Replacement
Service of the engine control module (ECM) should consist of either replacement of the ECM or
programming of the electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). If the
diagnostic procedures call for the ECM to be replaced, the replacement ECM should be checked to
ensure that the correct part is being used. If the correct part is being used, remove the faulty ECM
and install the new service ECM.
Caution:
* Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the control module connectors and
disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the control module (battery cable, powertrain control
module (PCM)/engine control module (ECM)/transaxle control module (TCM) pigtail, control
module fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal control module damage.
* Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT
contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using
battery booster cables, or when charging the vehicle battery.
* In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the control module, do no
touch the connector pins or the soldered components on the circuit board.
* Remove any debris from around the control module connector surfaces before servicing the
control module. Inspect the control module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the
control module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant
intrusion into the control module.
* The replacement control module must be programmed.
Note
It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programmed
with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100 percent. If the replacement
module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed

HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Do not use cleaning solutions that contain hydrofluoric, oxalic and most other acids on chrome
wheels (or any wheels).
If the customer is unsure of the chemical make-up of a particular wheel cleaner, it should be
avoided.
For wheels showing signs of milky staining from acidic cleaners, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Warranty of Stained Chrome Wheels
Stained wheels are not warrantable. Most acid based cleaners will permanently stain chrome
wheels. Follow-up with dealers has confirmed that such cleaners were used on wheels that were
returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC). Any stained wheels received by the WPC will be
charged back to the dealership. To assist the customer, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Pitting or Spotted Appearance of Chrome Wheels Figure 2
A second type or staining or finish disturbance may result from road chemicals, such as calcium
chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads. The staining will look like small pitting (refer to
Figure 2). This staining will usually be on the leading edges of each wheel spoke, but may be
uniformly distributed. If a vehicle must be operated under such conditions, the chrome wheels
should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed as soon as conveniently
possible.
Important Road chemicals, such as calcium chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads, can
also stain chrome wheels. The staining will look like small pitting. This staining will usually be on
the leading edges of each wheel spoke. This is explained by the vehicle traveling in the forward
direction while being splashed by the road chemical. If a vehicle must be operated under such
conditions, the chrome wheels should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed
as soon as conveniently possible.
Warranty of Pitted or Spotted Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of road chemicals may be replaced one time.
Damage resulting from contact with these applied road chemicals is corrosive to the wheels finish
and may cause damage if the wheels are not kept clean.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean if they are operating the vehicle in an area that
applies calcium chloride or other dust controlling chemicals! "GM of Canada" dealers require prior
approval by the District Manager - Customer Care and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
"Stardust" Corrosion of Chrome Wheels Figure 3
A third type of finish disturbance results from prolonged exposure to brake dust and resultant
penetration of brake dust through the chrome. As brakes are applied hot particles of brake material
are thrown off and tend to be forced through the leading edge of the wheel spoke windows by
airflow. These

Repair Suggestions
Soldering Defroster Contact Tabs
In many cases the terminal tab will still be in the connector when you examine the vehicle. For
Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade vehicles (with moveable glass),
always replace the defroster tab (GM P/N 25916031) and the defroster electrical power connector
(P/N 12034110). For all other vehicles, reconnect the original defroster tab.
In most applications it is preferable to create a new solder connection to reattach a separated rear
defroster tab. If you take note of the steps below, it is possible to create a new solder joint that is
equal to, or stronger than, the original. The generic procedure below is not very time intensive, but
does include minor preparation work to create a good bonding surface. Be sure to follow each of
the steps, as combined they will produce the strongest bond possible. Please consider the
following before attempting the repair:
- Soldering introduces significant heat to the glass window of the vehicle. When performing the
re-connection of the tab, use only the heat required to do the job. Pre-heat the soldering iron and
have the solder in your other hand, ready to go, the moment you have enough heat to melt the
solder.
- If it is winter, bring the vehicle into the service garage and remove any snow from the back
window area. Allow time for the glass to warm to the temperature inside the building. Soldering
creates a "hot spot" in the glass. DO NOT solder on cold glass.
Caution Heating the glass excessively, or repeatedly without time to cool, may result in glass
breakage. ALWAYS wear safety glasses when performing this repair!
- You MUST use a silver-bearing solder to make the connection. DO NOT attempt this repair with
conventional tin/lead alloy solders. Silver bearing solder will adhere to the electrical buss bar,
making a strong and lasting repair.
- Protect surfaces under the area to be soldered. It is very easy to drip solder when performing this
repair. Placing a shop towel under the soldering area is sufficient protection.
Soldering Procedure
1. It is imperative to remove and replace the rear defroster electrical power connector by crimping a
new connector to the feed wire. The proper
connector P/N 12034110 can be found in the Packard Electrical Assortment, Tray 18, Position 5.
- Insert Delphi pick 12094430 to depress the locking tab on the terminal.
- Insert Delphi pick 12094429 to release the secondary lock tab.
Important DO NOT re-use the existing defroster tab on new-style full-size utility vehicles with
moveable glass.
2. Connect the electrical connector to the defroster tab. Fully engage the connector. An improperly
seated connector may cause excessive resistance
and impede the proper operation of the defroster. Add a small bead of solder to mate the electrical
connector tab to the defroster tab.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Valve Deactivation Solenoid: Description and Operation
Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) System Description
To provide maximum fuel economy under light load driving conditions, the engine control module
(ECM) will command the cylinder deactivation system ON to deactivate engine cylinders 1, 7, 6,
and 4, switching to a V4 mode. The engine will operate on 8 cylinders or V8 mode, during engine
starting, engine idling, and medium to heavy throttle applications.
When cylinder deactivation is commanded, the ECM will determine what cylinder is firing, and
begin deactivation on the next closest deactivated cylinder in firing order sequence. For example, if
cylinder number 1 is on its combustion event when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the
next cylinder in the firing order sequence that can be deactivated is cylinder number 7. If cylinder
number 5 is on its combustion event when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the next
cylinder in the firing order sequence that can be deactivated is cylinder number 4.
Cylinder deactivation is accomplished by not allowing the intake and exhaust valves to open on the
selected cylinders by using special valve lifters. The deactivation lifters contain spring loaded
locking pins that connect the internal pin housing of the lifter to the outer housing.
The pin housing contains the lifter plunger and pushrod seat which interfaces with the pushrod. The
outer housing contacts the camshaft lobe through a roller. During V8 mode, when all cylinders are
active, the locking pins are pushed outward by spring force, locking the pin housing and outer
housing together causing the lifter to function as a normal lifter. When cylinder deactivation is
commanded ON, the locking pins are pushed inward with engine oil pressure directed from the
valve lifter oil manifold (VLOM) assembly solenoids. When the lifter pin housing is unlocked from
the outer housing, the pin housing will remain stationary, while the outer housing will move with the
profile of the camshaft lobe, which results in the valve remaining closed. One VLOM solenoid
controls both the intake and exhaust valves for each deactivating cylinder. There are 2 distinct oil
passages going to each cylinder deactivation lifter bore, one for the hydraulic lash-adjusting feature
of the lifter, and one for controlling the locking pins used for cylinder deactivation.
Although both intake and exhaust valve lifters are controlled by the same solenoid in the VLOM,
the intake and exhaust valves do not become deactivated at the same time. Cylinder deactivation
is timed so that the cylinder is on an intake event. During an intake event, the intake CAM lobe is
pushing the valve lifter upwards to open the intake valve against the force of the valve spring. The
force exerted by the valve spring is acting on the side of the lifter locking pins, preventing them
from moving until the intake valve has closed. When the intake valve lifter reaches the base circle
of the

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 V,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
Testing for Continuity Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control
module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM.
5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note
Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

13. Use the tire changer in order to install the tire to the wheel.
Caution:
To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when
the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any
tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, lubricate
the beads and reinflate. Overinflating may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal
injury.
Important:
Allowable bead seating pressure is 345 kPa (50 psi) on Extended Mobility Tires.
14. Inflate the tire until it passes the bead humps. Be sure that the valve core is not installed at this
time.
15. Install the valve core to the valve core stem.
16. Inflate the tire to the proper air pressure.
17. Ensure that the locating rings are visible on both sides of the tire in order to verify that the tire
bead is fully seated on the wheel.

Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.
Warning
To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot.
The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam
Page 10928
Important
If runout is still present, contact the brake lathe supplier.
ON-CAR TYPE LATHE
Use the following procedure to calibrate an On-Car brake lathe:
1. Connect the lathe to a vehicle using the appropriate adapter.
2. Attach a vise-grip dial indicator to a fixed point in the wheel well and bring the dial indicator to a
flat surface on the cutting head.
3. Turn on the lathe and press the "start" button so the lathe begins to compensate.
4. Once compensation is complete, note the runout as measured by the dial indicator. Measured
runout at this point is overstated given that it is
outside the rotor diameter.
5. If runout is in excess of 0.1016 mm (0.004 in) (0.050 mm (0.002 in) as measured within the rotor
diameter), calibration must be tightened. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for tightening the calibration of the lathe. This information is found in the
manual supplied with the lathe.
Important If the machine is taking a long time to compensate during normal use, prior to checking
the lathe calibration, it is recommended that the machine be disconnected from the adapter and the
adapter (still connected to the vehicle) is rotated 180 degrees and the machine reattached. This will
accomplish two things: - It will re-verify the machine is properly attached to the adapter. - It will
change the location of the runout (phase) relative to the machine and thus possibly allow for quick
compensation as a result of the position change.
The following information has been added as a reference to ensure your Pro-Cut PFM lathe
provides a consistent smooth surface finish over long term usage.
Cutting Tips / Depth of Cut / Tip Life
The cutting tips must be right side up. Reference marks always face up. The cutting tips may not
have chips or dings in the surface of the points. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381 mm (0.004-0.015 in) will
provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. When cleaning or rotating the cutting bits,
make sure that the seat area for the tip on the tool is free and clear of debris.
Cutting Head
On each brake job, the technician must center the cutting head for that particular vehicle using one
of the mounting bolt holes on the slide plate. Once the head is centered, it is vital that the
technician use one hand to push the head firmly and squarely back into the dovetail on the slide
plate while using the other hand to tighten the Allen-Hex bolt that secures the head. Failure to do
this could result in chatter occurring during the cut.
Tool Holder Plate (Cutting Head)
The tool holder plate is the plate that the cutting arms are attached to. It can bend or break if a
technician accidently runs the cutting arms into the hub of the rotor while the rotor is turning. (Cuts
of more than 0.508 mm (0.020 in) can also bend this plate). Once bent, the lathe will most likely not
cut properly until the tool holder plate is replaced. In order to verify the condition of the tool holder
plate on a machine that will not cut right, remove the mounting bolt and remove the cutting head
from the slide plate. With the cutting head titled at an angle, lay the long edge of the tool holder
plate down on the flat part of the slide plate. If any gap can be seen between the edge and the slide
plate, the tool holder plate is bent and the source of vibration. Also check to ensure that the cutting
arms are lying flat on the upper side of the tool holder plate. If the mounting arm post is bent, it will
show itself by having the back of the cutting arm lifting off the surface of the tool holder.
Gib Adjustment / Loose Gib
As wear occurs between the slide plate and the box it rides on, you must take up the slack. You do
this by way of a moveable wedge, which we call the gib. Your lathe manual details adjustment
process, which you should perform when required after monthly checks or whenever surface finish
is inconsistent.
Brake Pulsation
BRAKE PULSATION
Brake pulsation is caused by brake rotor thickness variation. Brake rotor thickness variation causes
the piston in the brake caliper, when applied, to "pump" in and out of the caliper housing. The
"pumping" effect is transmitted hydraulically to the brake pedal. Brake pulsation concerns may
result from two basic conditions:

If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the
longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design
connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.

Bulletin No.: 08-06-03-007
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: No Start, No Crank, Intermittent Electrical Operations (Check For Poor Connections Within
Engine Wiring Harness Junction Block)
Models: 2007-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2009 Chevrolet
Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2007-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali,
Yukon Denali XL
Condition
Some customers may comment on a no start, or no crank, or intermittent electrical operations.
Cause
This may be caused by probing fuse or relay connectors with incorrect J-Tools, which causes
splayed terminals and poor electrical connections. Customers may also have installed wires
adjacent to the fuse connector blades in order to create an electrical circuit, which also creates a
potential loose connection at the fuse. Other potential causes are probing by independent repair
shops during installation of aftermarket accessories like remote start systems.
Correction
If the terminals are damaged beyond repair, the engine wiring harness junction block will have to
be replaced.
Be sure to use the correct J-Tool (J-356616-35), which is designed to prevent splaying of the
terminals and loose connections.
Important:
DO NOT use any other device (incorrect J- Tool, multi-meter probe) to test fuse/relay terminals.
The figure shown shows splayed fuse terminals due to probing with a round instrument, which
caused a poor electrical connection between fuse blade and terminal (note lack of witness mark on
fuse blade).
The figure above shows a wire jammed into fuse slot (potential electrical tap by customer).

10. Compute the average of the first and second measurements recorded during the brake applies.
Specification
Maximum brake master cylinder (BMC) primary piston travel, (measured with the ignition ON,
engine OFF, brake modulator and HPA depressurized, and the brakes cool), at a brake pedal apply
force of 5,000 kPa (725 psi) : 18 mm (0.71 in).
Warning
It is recommended that you use the J-29532-A pressure bleeder or a diaphragm type (ball bleeder)
which is capable of delivering 200 kPa (30 psi) for the bleed procedure. Follow and read all the
directions on the Tech 2(R) for completing the Automated Bleed procedure and do every step
during the bleed procedure. If you miss a step, you must start over. The EBCM Relearn will occur
during the automated brake bleed procedure, so make sure you maintain battery voltage during the
entire procedure. Failure to provide a constant 200 kPa (30 psi) may cause air to be trapped in the
brake system and may cause brake performance problems or DTCs to occur. Tool J-29532-A has
been tested extensively on this application and has proven to provide the necessary pressure and
volume of brake fluid. Vacuum bleeding and other brake bleeding tools are NOT acceptable for this
procedure.
- If the brake pedal travel is greater than 18 mm (0.71 in), perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the brake system for leaks and visual damage. Repair or replace the components as
necessary.
2. Perform the automated brake bleed procedure. Refer to Antilock Brake System Automated
Bleed Procedure-Hybrid (HP2) in SI.
- If the brake pedal feels spongy and/or the brake pedal travel is still excessive after performing the
automated brake bleed procedure and no external brake fluid leaks or damage were found, inspect
the hydraulic brake system for internal leaks, etc. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Diagnosis
(Two-mode Hybrid) in SI.
11. Clear all the codes from the modules.
12. Start the vehicle and allow the brake system to pressurize.
13. Drive the vehicle up to 32 km/h (20 mph) and perform several heavy brake stops.
14. Verify that the condition has been corrected.

What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be unhealthy for your skin and could even
cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with
soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing
used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil
from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.

Important Implementation of this service bulletin by all dealers requires prior District Service
Manager (DVM) (in Canada, the Warranty Manager) approval.
Condition
Some customers may comment on excessive lint accumulation on the cloth seat material. Darker
colored seat fabric seems to show the condition more than lighter fabrics.
Cause
The source of the lint accumulation is not the seat fabric material. The seat material, though,
exhibits a tendency to accumulate and retain lint from sources that come into contact with the
fabric.
Correction
Important All seats will need to be updated in the vehicle. Let customers with RPO 19D know that
the appearance of the insert material will be noticeably different.
If the customer has ebony colored cloth seats, replace the seat covers (back and cushion), the
headrests and the armrests with revised fabric. Refer to SI for the appropriate seat back and
cushion cover, headrest and armrest replacement procedures.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-08-48-005C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Distortion in the outer surface of the windshield glass, door glass or backlite glass may appear after
the vehicle has:
- Accumulated some mileage.
- Been frequently washed in automatic car washes, particularly "touchless" car washes.
This distortion may look like a subtle orange peel pattern, or may look like a drip or sag etched into
the surface of the glass.
Some car wash solutions contain a buffered solution of hydrofluoric acid which is used to clean the
glass. This should not cause a problem if used in the correct concentration. However, if not used
correctly, hydrofluoric acid will attack the glass, and over time, will cause visual distortion in the
outer surface of the glass which cannot be removed by scraping or polishing.
If this condition is suspected, look at the area of the windshield under the wipers or below the belt
seal on the side glass. The area of the glass below the wipers or belt seal will not be affected and
what looks like a drip or sag may be apparent at the edge of the wiper or belt seal. You may also
see a line on the glass where the wiper blade or the belt seal contacts the glass.
Important The repair will require replacing the affected glass and is not a result of a defect in
material or workmanship. Therefore, is not covered by New Vehicle Warranty.

Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

Charging System Operation
The purpose of the charging system is to maintain the battery charge and vehicle loads. There are
6 modes of operation and they include:
* Battery Sulfation Mode
* Normal Mode
* Fuel Economy Mode
* Headlamp Mode
* Voltage Reduction Mode
* Plant Assembly Mode
Battery Sulfation Mode
The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted charging system voltage is less than 13.2 volts
for 30 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Normal Mode for 5 minutes. The
BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.
Normal Mode
The BCM will enter Normal Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met.
* The wipers are ON for more than 3 seconds.
* GMLAN Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control
head. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the
BCM to enter the Charge Mode.
* The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F).
* Vehicle Speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph)
* Current Sensor Fault Exists
* System Voltage was determined to be below 12.56 volts
* Tow/Haul Mode is enabled
When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a
charging voltage between 13.9-15.5 volts, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated
battery temperature.
Fuel Economy Mode
The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the ambient air temperature is at least 0°C (32°F)
but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is greater than -8 amps but
less than 5 amps, and the battery state of charge (SOC) is greater than or equal to 85 percent. Its
targeted APM set-point voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between
12.6-13.2 volts. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Normal Mode when any of the conditions
described above are present.
Headlamp Mode
The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the high or low beam headlamps are ON. Voltage
will be regulated between 13.9-14.5 volts
Voltage Reduction Mode
The BCM will enter Voltage Reduction Mode when the calculated battery temperature is above 0°C
(32°F) and the calculated battery current is greater than -7 amps but less than 1 amp. Its targeted
APM set-point voltage is 12.9-13.2 volts. The BCM will exit this mode once the criteria are met for
Normal Mode.
Plant Assembly Mode
The BCM will increase charging voltage for the first 500 miles of operation in an effort to ensure
that the 12 volt battery is fully charged when the vehicle is delivered to the customer.
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Operation
Charge Indicator Operation
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the charge indicator and displays a warning
message in the driver information center (DIC) when the one or more of the following occurs:
* The engine control module (ECM) detects system voltage less than 11 volts or greater than 16
volts. The IPC receives a GMLAN message from the ECM requesting illumination.
* The BCM determines that the system voltage is less than 11 volts or greater than 16 volts.
* The IPC receives a GMLAN message from the body control module (BCM) indicating there is a
system voltage range concern.

Steel Wheel Repair Description
Caution: Do not heat wheels in an attempt to soften them for straightening or repair damage from
striking curbs, etc. Do not weld wheels. The alloy used in these wheels is heat-treated and
uncontrolled heating from welding affects the properties of the material.
Caution: The use of tubes in tubeless tires is not a recommended repair due to the fact that speed
ratings are greatly reduced.
You can repair porosity in aluminum wheels. If leaks are found in a steel wheel, replace the wheel

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,
Equinox, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse 2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon 2009
Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

acceptable for those previous vehicles. However, dexos 1(TM) is backward compatible and can be
used in those older vehicles.
In North America, starting with the 2011 model year, GM introduced dexos 1(TM) certified engine
oil as a factory fill and service fill for gasoline engines. The reasons for the new engine oil
specification are as follows:
- To meet environmental goals such as increasing fuel efficiency and reducing engine emissions.
- To promote long engine life.
- To minimize the number of engine oil changes in order to help meet the goal of lessening the
industry's overall dependence on crude oil.
dexos 1(TM) is a GM-developed engine oil specification that has been designed to provide the
following benefits:
- Further improve fuel economy, to meet future corporate average fuel economy (CAFE)
requirements and fuel economy retention by allowing the oil to maintain its fuel economy benefits
throughout the life of the oil.
- More robust formulations for added engine protection and aeration performance.

3. Place a protective cover over the carpet below the evaporator core. 4. Remove the cabin air
filter, if equipped, and cover the opening prior to applying the Cooling Coil Coating, as the product
may clog the filter. If the
cabin air filter appears to have little or no remaining life, suggest a replacement to your customer.
5. If the HVAC module has a blower motor cooling tube, be careful NOT TO SPRAY THE
COOLING COIL COATING INTO THE
BLOWER MOTOR COOLING TUBE.
6. Attach the Flexible Applicator Pressure Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) to a compressed air line
operating at 586 kPa (85 psi) to 793 kPa (115 psi). 7. Shake the bottle of Cooling Coil Coating well.
Screw the bottle onto the cap on the applicator tool's pick-up tube.
Note The pick-up tube is designed for 120 ml (4 oz) and 240 ml (8 oz) bottles and should coil
slightly in the bottom of a 120 ml (4 oz) bottle.
8. Use one of the following three methods to apply the Cooling Coil Coating.
Important If the Pressure Applicator Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) is not available, the Cooling Coil
Coating is also available in an aerosol can (P/N 12377951 (in Canada, 10953503)).
Application Through Blower Motor Control Module Opening
- Remove the blower motor control module (blower motor resistor). Refer to the applicable
procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor blower
motor control module (blower motor resistor) opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor blower motor control module (blower
motor control module).
Application Through Blower Motor Opening
- Remove the blower motor. Refer to the applicable blower motor removal procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor.
Application Through a Hole in the HVAC Module
- If neither of the two previous application methods are available, it may be necessary to drill a hole
in the HVAC module.
- Locate an area of the HVAC module between the blower motor and the evaporator core. Drill a 10
mm (3/8 in) hole in the HVAC module. Use caution to keep the drill clear of the evaporator core and
the blower motor fan.
- With the air distribution vents closed and the blower motor fan speed on HIGH, insert the
applicator tool into the hole and spray the Cooling Coil Coating into the airstream toward the
evaporator core.
- Use a GM approved RTV sealant to plug the hole in the HVAC module.
9. After the Cooling Coil Coating application is complete, start and run the vehicle for approximately
10 minutes, with the compressor disabled,
HVAC mode set to Recirculate/Max, heat set to full warm, blower motor fan speed on high, and
one window open approximately 12 mm (1/2 in). This cures the Cooling Coil Coating onto the
evaporator core surface.
10. While the engine is running, rinse the applicator tool with warm water to prolong the life of the
tool. Be sure to spray warm water through the
nozzle to rinse out any residual Cooling Coil Coating still in the capillary pick up tube, otherwise it
will dry and clog the applicator tool. Also remove the small green valve from the bottle cap and
rinse it thoroughly while rolling it between two fingers and then reinstall it. If this valve is clogged ,
the Cooling Coil Coating will not flow through the applicator tool.
11. Shut off the engine and enable the compressor again. 12. Verify proper HVAC system
operation. 13. Remove the protective cover from inside the vehicle. 14. Remove the drain pan from
underneath the vehicle. 15. Reinstall the cabin air filter if necessary.

Each user will be required to accept the following agreement each time the KeyCode application is
used.
Key Code User Agreement
- Key codes are proprietary information belonging to General Motors Corporation and to the vehicle
owner.
- Unauthorized access to, or use of, key code information is unlawful and may subject the user to
criminal and civil penalties.
- This information should be treated as strictly confidential and should not be disclosed to anyone
unless authorized.
I will ensure that the following information is obtained prior to releasing any Key Code information:
1. Government issued picture ID (Drivers License) 2. Registration or other proof of ownership.
Registration should have normal markings from the Province that issued the registration and
possibly the
receipt for payment recorded as well.
Important
- GM takes this agreement seriously. Each user must be certain of vehicle ownership before giving
out key codes.
- When the ownership of the vehicle is in doubt, dealership personnel should not provide the
information.
Key code requests should never be received via a fax or the internet and key codes should never
be provided to anyone in this manner. A face to face contact with the owner of the vehicle is the
expected manner that dealers will use to release a key code or as otherwise stipulated in this
bulletin or other materials.
- Key codes should NEVER be sent via a fax or the internet.
- Each Dealership should create a permanent file to document all KeyCode Look Up transactions.
Requests should be filed by VIN and in each folder retain copies of the following:
- Government issued picture ID (Drivers License)
- Registration or other proof of ownership.
- Copy of the paid customer receipt which has the name of the employee who cut and sold the key
to the customer.
- Do not put yourself or your Dealership in the position of needing to "explain" a KeyCode Look Up
to either GM or law enforcement officials.
- Dealership Management has the ability to review all KeyCode Look-Up transactions.
- Dealership KeyCode documentation must be retained for two years.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for GM of Canada Dealers
How do I request a KeyCode for customer owned vehicle that is not registered?
Scrapped, salvaged or stored vehicles that do not have a current registration should still have the
ownership verified by requesting the vehicle title, current insurance policy and / or current lien
holder information from the customers financing source. If you cannot determine if the customer is
the owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information. In these cases, a short
description of the vehicle (scrapped, salvaged, etc.) and the dealership location should be kept on
file. Any clarifying explanation should be entered into the comments field.
How do I document a KeyCode request for a vehicle that is being repossessed?
The repossessor must document ownership of the vehicle by providing a court ordered
repossession order and lien-holder documents prior to providing key code information. Copies of
the repossessors Drivers License and a business card should be retained by the dealership for
documentation.
What do I do if the registration information is locked in the vehicle?
Every effort should be made to obtain complete information for each request. Each Dealership will
have to decide on a case by case basis if enough information is available to verify the customer's
ownership of the vehicle. Other forms of documentation include vehicle title, insurance policy, and
or current lien information from the customers financing source. Dealership Management must be
involved in any request without complete information. If you cannot determine if the customer is the
owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information.
Can I get a print out of the information on the screen?
It is important to note that the Key Code Look Up Search Results contain sensitive and/or
proprietary information. For this reason GM recommends against printing it. If the Search Results
must be printed, store and/or dispose of the printed copy properly to minimize the risk of improper
or illegal use.
Who in the dealership has access to the KeyCode application?
Dealership Parts Manager (or assigned management) will determine, and control, who is
authorized to access the KeyCode Look Up application. However, we anticipate that dealership
parts and service management will be the primary users of the application. The KeyCode Look Up
application automatically tracks each user activity session. Information tracked by the system
includes: User name, User ID, all other entered data and the date/time of access.

Description and Operation
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance
enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) control, a wider engine torque range, improved gas mileage, and improved
engine idle stability. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of
intake and exhaust valve overlap. For the 6.0 liter (LFA) engine, the park position for the CMP
actuator and camshaft is 14.5 degrees after top dead center (ATDC), or 29 crankshaft degrees
ATDC. The engine control module (ECM) can only command the CMP actuator to advance the
valve timing from the park position, or retard the valve timing back to the park position. The total
range of valve timing authority is 23 degrees camshaft rotation, or 46 degrees of crankshaft
rotation. The control range is from the park position of 14.5 degrees camshaft, or 29 degrees
crankshaft ATDC, to 8.5 degrees camshaft or 17 degrees crankshaft before top dead center
(BTDC).
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the control module. The control
module sends a pulse width modulated 12-volt signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control
the amount of engine oil flow to a camshaft actuator passage. There are 2 different passages for oil
to flow through, a passage for CAM advance and a passage for CAM retard. The camshaft actuator
is attached to the front of the camshaft, and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle
of the camshaft relative to crankshaft position (CKP). Engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity,
temperature, engine oil level, and aftermarket engine oil additives can have an adverse affect on
camshaft phaser performance.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Circuit Diagnostic
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the control circuit of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator solenoid for electrical faults. The control module has the ability to determine if a control
circuit is open, shorted high, or shorted low. If the control module detects a fault with the CMP
actuator solenoid control, DTC P0010 will set.

20. Extract a portion of the ECT sensor harness wiring and connector from the protective conduit.
Cut off the ECT sensor harness connector and
wiring.
21. Determine a routing path for the ECT sensor jumper harness wires so that they can be secured
TO or WITHIN an existing protective conduit.
Note This step is to set up and verify the length of wiring that is required before cutting.
22. Route the ECT sensor jumper wires and then enclose them in their own protective conduit in
order to VERIFY the length that is required. 23. Cut the ECT sensor jumper wires to the
appropriate length.
Note Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other
splice or connector.
24. Splice the ECT sensor jumper wires to the ORIGINAL ECT HARNESS LOCATION using
DuraSeal weatherproof splices. Refer to Splicing

Note Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other
splice or connector.
25. Splice the ECT sensor jumper wires to the ECT SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR using
DuraSeal weatherproof splices. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves in SI.
26. Connect the ECT sensor harness connector to the ECT sensor. 27. Secure the ECT sensor
jumper wires that are in their own protective conduit TO or WITHIN the existing harness conduit
using tie straps.
Important You MUST run the engine at the specified RPM and until it reaches normal operating
temperature and then allow it to idle as indicated in SI. The engine MUST then be allowed to cool
down in order to top off the coolant level as needed.
28. Fill the cooling system to the proper level. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling in SI.
29. Pressure test the cooling system. Refer to Cooling System Leak Testing in SI. 30. Use a scan
tool to clear any DTCs.
Relocating the Engine Coolant Heater Cord
Important For reference, the procedure and graphics that are shown are from a Chevrolet
Silverado, but are similar for the other vehicles listed above.
1. Turn OFF the ignition. 2. Ask the customer where they would prefer the extension cord to exit
from the engine compartment in order to determine the required extension
cord length.
3. Obtain an extension cord with the following features:
- 120 volt
- 14/3 gauge
- 15A capacity

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.

Electrical Ground Repair Overview
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground
connections. Loose, stripped, or corroded connections increase the possibility of improper system
function and loss of module communication. These conditions may also lead to unnecessary
repairs and component replacement.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of the
following attachment methods:
- Welded M6 stud and nut
- Welded M6 nut and bolt
- Welded M8 nut and bolt
Determine which attachment method is used and perform the appropriate or alternative repair as
described in this bulletin.
M6 Weld Stud Replacement
Caution
Use only the GM-approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
1. Select a location adjacent the damaged or missing M6 ground stud having 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance behind the panel surface and 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance surrounding the M6 conductive rivet stud flange.
2. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, remove any grease from the repair site
and allow to dry.
Note Ensure 20 mm (0.79 in) clearance is maintained behind the panel to be drilled.
3. Drill a 10 mm (0.40 in) diameter hole through the panel.
4. Remove paint and primer from the area surrounding the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole until bare metal is

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a buildup of nonconductive insulating oxidized debris known as
fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector.
This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
- Vibration
- Thermal cycling
- Poor connection/terminal retention
- Micro motion
- A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement
On low current signal circuits this condition may cause high resistance, resulting in intermittent
connections.
On high current power circuits this condition may cause permanent increases in the resistance and
may cause a device to become inoperative.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 00-03-10-002F
Date: April 21, 2011
Subject: Chemical Staining, Pitting, Corrosion and/or Spotted Appearance of Chromed Aluminum
Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative
products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
00-03-10-002E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important You may give a copy of this bulletin to the
customer.
What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1
Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an
example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from
using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient
to clean wheels.
If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states
that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers
should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these
chemicals.)
- Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome)
- Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid
- Sulfamic Acid
- Phosphoric Acid
- Hydroxyacetic Acid
Notice
Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most
customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal.
Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the
paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car
warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the
calipers.
Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean,
clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts,
lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to
the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the
damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 10-06-04-015
Date: December 08, 2010
Subject: General Motors' Position Regarding Use of E15 in Model Year 2007 and Newer Vehicles
Models:
2007-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
General Motors' position regarding the Environmental Protection Agency announcement allowing
the use of E 15 in 2007 and newer vehicles:
- General Motors' remains focused on securing a safe and positive driving experience for our
customers. GM believes that the waiver decision by the EPA regarding E 15 could lead to
confusion for consumers as to what fuel their vehicle should use. In response, we will continue to
encourage our customers to refer to their vehicle Owner Manual for proper fuel designation. The
vehicle Owner Manual specifies that fuels containing more than 10 percent ethanol should not be
used in GM vehicles that do not have a flex fuel designation.
- GM has the largest fleet of flex fuel vehicles on the road today (over 4 million in the U.S.) and
these vehicles can safely use ethanol blends of up to 85 percent ethanol. So blends of E 15 (15
percent ethanol), as in the partial waiver announced, are appropriate for these vehicles. However,
ethanol blends greater than E 10 should not be used in GM vehicles that do not have a flex fuel
designation as they are not designed and certified to run on gasoline consisting of more than 10
percent ethanol-blend volume to avoid any unintended consequences, as per: their Owner Manual.
- We believe biofuels, especially E 85 ethanol, are an effective near-term solution to reduce
petroleum dependence and the carbon footprint of driving. As the global leader in producing
vehicles designed to handle ethanol blends from E 0 to E 85, GM offers 19 flexible-fuel vehicles for
the 2011 model year.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

the dealer: VSA, VSB, VSC, VSF, VS3, VZJ, VZK, VS5, VS4, VSJ, VSK, VZH, VSN, VS8.
Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 06-08-64-027H (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the left or right outside rearview mirror glass shakes or flutters
at normal driving speeds.
Cause
- The mirror may have been accidentally pushed in manually or obstructed while folding.
- The mirror actuator screws may be loose, allowing the mirror to move.
- The metal spring may not have enough tension to hold the mirror from moving.
Correction
Follow the procedure below to correct this condition.
1. The power folding mirrors should be cycled three complete times to relearn the mirror positions.
Then perform a road test and check the mirror
glass for stability. If stability is not corrected, proceed to Step 2.
2. Remove the mirror glass. Refer to Mirror Face Replacement in SI. 3. Verify the torque on the
four retaining screws on the actuator.
Tighten Tighten the screws to 1.13-1.6 Nm (10-14 lb in).
4. Bend the metal spring up to increase the tension engagement to the mirror housing 13 mm (1/2
in). 5. Install the glass assembly by pressing firmly, taking care not to allow the spring finger to
unseat from its intended track in the mirror housing.
Road test the vehicle. If stability is not improved, replace the mirror assembly. Refer to Power
Mirror Replacement in SI.
Parts Information
If replacing the mirror assembly, see Mirror in Group 16.068 of the appropriate Parts Catalog for
part numbers and usage.
Warranty Information
Important Only one Labor Operation should be claimed depending on the actual repair.

You MUST use a silver-bearing solder to make the solder joint. DO NOT attempt this repair with
conventional tin/lead alloy solders. Most suppliers have this type of solder available and it is
available nationally at Radio Shack(R)*. It is sold in several diameters and either are acceptable for
this repair.
5. For this step, it is permitted that two technicians be used if required. Heat the new connector on
the surface of the buss bar that is to be soldered.
Long nose pliers are suggested to hold the electrical connector and the defroster tab in place. Keep
the solder ready and begin flowing out the solder as soon as the melting temperature has been
reached. Tip If a single technician is attempting this repair, it is beneficial to wrap one turn of the
solder around the new contacts base. In this manner, as the melting point of the solder is reached,
a layer is deposited on the bottom side of the contact.
Important Try to align the new contact so that it is positioned with the same orientation as the
original contact.
6. The above illustrates an ideal finished solder joint. Additional stray solder will not harm the
performance of the bond; however, while it is unlikely
that customers may refer to the appearance of the rear window defroster and its components as a
positive styling feature of the vehicle interior, it is easy to elicit the opposite reaction due to a poor
cosmetic application.

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the
longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design
connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.
1. Disconnect the connector from the component.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Condition
Some customers may comment on an engine valve lifter tick noise that occurs after the engine has
been shut off for at least two hours. The tick noise may last from two seconds to ten minutes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- Aerated oil in the valve lifter body, resulting in the valve lifter being unable to purge the air quickly.
- A low engine oil level or incorrect oil viscosity.
- Dirty or contaminated oil.
- A low internal valve lifter oil reservoir level.
- Debris in the valve lifter.
- A high valve lifter leak down rate.
Correction
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate the cause of this valve lifter tick noise and normal oil pressure is
noted during the concern, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the engine oil condition and level. Refer to Owner Manual > Service and Appearance
Care > Checking Things Under the Hood >
Description and Operation > Engine Oil in SI.
‹› If the engine oil is more than one quart low, an incorrect oil viscosity is being used or if poor
quality/contamination is observed, change the oil
and filter.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 00-03-10-002F
Date: April 21, 2011
Subject: Chemical Staining, Pitting, Corrosion and/or Spotted Appearance of Chromed Aluminum
Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative
products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
00-03-10-002E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important You may give a copy of this bulletin to the
customer.
What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1
Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an
example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from
using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient
to clean wheels.
If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states
that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers
should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these
chemicals.)
- Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome)
- Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid
- Sulfamic Acid
- Phosphoric Acid
- Hydroxyacetic Acid
Notice
Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most
customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal.
Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the
paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car
warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the
calipers.
Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean,
clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts,
lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to
the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the
damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution
Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution
Caution: Contamination of the oxygen sensor can result from the use of an inappropriate RTV
sealant (not oxygen sensor safe) or excessive engine coolant or oil consumption. Remove the
HO2S and visually inspect the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream in order to
check for contamination. If contaminated, the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream
will have a white powdery coating. Silicon contamination causes a high but false HO2S signal
voltage (rich exhaust indication). The control module will then reduce the amount of fuel delivered
to the engine, causing a severe driveability problem. Eliminate the source of contamination before
replacing the oxygen sensor.

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.

Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control
module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM.
5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note
Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

A wheel alignment will generally NOT correct vehicles that follow the road crown since this is within
"Normal Operation."
Mileage Policy
The following mileage policy applies for E2020 and E2000 labor operations: Note
Wheel Alignment is NOT covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for Express and Savana
Cutaway vehicles as these vehicles require Upfitters to set the wheel alignment after completing
the vehicles.
- 0-800 km (0-500 mi): E2000/E2020 claims ONLY allowed with Call Center Authorization. Due to
the tie down during shipping, the vehicle's suspension requires some time to reach normal
operating position. For this reason, new vehicles are generally NOT to be aligned until they have
accumulated at least 800 km (500 mi). A field product report should accompany any claim within
this mileage range.
- 801-12,000 km (501-7,500 mi):
- If a vehicle came from the factory with incorrect alignment settings, any resulting off-angle
steering wheel, lead/pull characteristics or the rare occurrence of excessive tire wear would be
apparent early in the life of the vehicle. The following policy applies:
- Vehicles 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe - Escalade/ESV/EXT,
Tahoe/Suburban, Yukon/XL/Denali, Silverado/Sierra, Express/Savana, Corvette and
Colorado/Canyon: E2000/E2020 Claims: Call Center Authorization Required
- All Vehicles NOT 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe as noted above:
E2000/E2020 Claims: Dealer Service Manager Authorization Required
- 12,001 km and beyond (7,501 miles and beyond): During this period, customers are responsible
for the wheel alignment expense or dealers may provide on a case-by case basis a one-time
customer enthusiasm claim up to 16,000 km (10,000 mi). In the event that a defective component
required the use of the subject labor operations, the identified defective component labor operation
will include the appropriate labor time for a wheel alignment as an add condition to the component
repair.
Important Only one wheel alignment labor operation claim (E2000 or E2020) may be used per VIN.
Warranty Documentation Requirements
When a wheel alignment service has been deemed necessary, the following items will need to be
clearly documented on/with the repair order:
- Customer concern in detail
- What corrected the customer concern?
- If a wheel alignment is performed:
- Consult SI for proper specifications.
- Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings.
- Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin)
1. Document the customer concern in as much detail as possible on the repair order and in the
warranty administration system. Preferred examples:
- Steering wheel is off angle in the counterclockwise direction by approximately x degrees or
clocking position.
- Vehicle lead/pulls to the right at approximately x-y mph. Vehicle will climb the road crown. Severe,
Moderate or Slight.
- RF and LF tires are wearing on the outside shoulders with severe feathering.
Important In the event of a lead/pull or steering wheel angle concern, please note the direction of
lead/pull (left or right) or direction of steering wheel angle (clockwise or counterclockwise) on the
repair order and within the warranty claim verbatim.
Important In the event of a tire wear concern, please note the position on the vehicle and where the
wear is occurring on the tire; i.e., the RF tire is wearing on the inside shoulder.
2. Document the technician's findings on cause and correction of the issue. Examples:
- Reset LF toe from 0.45 degrees to 0.10 degrees and RF toe from -0.25 degrees to 0.10 degrees
to correct the steering wheel angle from 5 degrees counterclockwise to 0 degrees.
- Reset LF camber from 0.25 degrees to -0.05 degrees to correct the cross-camber condition of
+0.30 degrees to 0.00 degrees on the vehicle.
- Front Sum toe was found to be 0.50 degrees, reset to 0.20 degrees.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Condition, Cause and Correction
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-05-001H (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition 1
Some customers may comment on a pinging/popping/snapping noise from underneath the vehicle
at idle or immediately after the vehicle is shut off. Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust
system during cool down is a normal condition. The noise may be intermittent depending on the
outside temperature and or temperature of the exhaust system at the time of testing.
Cause 1
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping
As the exhaust system cools, the muffler shell and muffler internals contract at different rates.
Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust system during cool down is a normal condition.
Correction 1
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping Noise (Normal)
This condition is normal to the muffler design and does not indicate poor quality or part failure. No
repairs are necessary for this condition. Replacing the muffler heat shield straps will NOT eliminate
this noise. A new muffler may sound quiet for this condition, but as it ages may again produce this
same condition.
Condition 2
Some customers may also comment on a buzz noise coming from the muffler during vehicle
operation.
Cause 2
Muffler Heat Shield Buzz
If the muffler heat shield straps are loose, the heat shield may be free to buzz during vehicle
operation.
Correction 2
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.
Page 3007
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

Bulletin No.: 08-06-03-007
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: No Start, No Crank, Intermittent Electrical Operations (Check For Poor Connections Within
Engine Wiring Harness Junction Block)
Models: 2007-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2009 Chevrolet
Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2007-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali,
Yukon Denali XL
Condition
Some customers may comment on a no start, or no crank, or intermittent electrical operations.
Cause
This may be caused by probing fuse or relay connectors with incorrect J-Tools, which causes
splayed terminals and poor electrical connections. Customers may also have installed wires
adjacent to the fuse connector blades in order to create an electrical circuit, which also creates a
potential loose connection at the fuse. Other potential causes are probing by independent repair
shops during installation of aftermarket accessories like remote start systems.
Correction
If the terminals are damaged beyond repair, the engine wiring harness junction block will have to
be replaced.
Be sure to use the correct J-Tool (J-356616-35), which is designed to prevent splaying of the
terminals and loose connections.
Important:
DO NOT use any other device (incorrect J- Tool, multi-meter probe) to test fuse/relay terminals.
The figure shown shows splayed fuse terminals due to probing with a round instrument, which
caused a poor electrical connection between fuse blade and terminal (note lack of witness mark on
fuse blade).
The figure above shows a wire jammed into fuse slot (potential electrical tap by customer).
Warranty Information
This repair will not be covered under warranty due to damage/failure caused by inappropriate
probing or customer abuse.

Ventilation Heat and Cool Module
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the seat cushion and seat back ventilation
heat and cool modules.
Note
If the resistance is measured with the seat still warm or cool, the resistance values will vary. At 68°F
(20°C), the nominal resistance value is 1200 Ω ±5 percent. For warmer or cooler ambient
temperatures, refer to the Temperature vs Resistance table below. The delta resistance values
between the seat cushion and seat back temperature sensors should not be greater than 2000 Ω.
2. Test for 300 Ω - 18 kΩ between the temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 5 and the low
reference circuit terminal 8.
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the ventilation heat and cool module.
Note
The test leads must be connected in the correct polarity, otherwise lower out of range values will
appear. Use the Positive Lead for the COOL control circuit and the Negative Lead for the HEAT
control circuit. If the resistance is measured with the seat still warm or cool, the resistance values
will vary even if the system was powered up for just a few seconds. The TED must be allowed to
stabilize to room temperature prior to a measurement. The conditions listed below will change the
resistance to out of range values:
* The test leads are incorrectly connected.
* Air blowing across the TED
* Measuring the resistance at other than room temperature of 70°F
* Holding the TED portion of the heated and cool ventilation module in your hand
In warmer or cooler climates where room temperature conditions of 70°F (21°C) may be
unattainable, resistance values may read above the specified range. Use a heat gun or a blower to
warm or cool the TED while measuring the resistance. The resistance values should slowly lower
toward the specified range.
3. Test for 0.9 - 10.0 Ω between the heat control circuit terminal 1 and the cool control circuit
terminal 3.
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the ventilation heat and cool module.
Note
The test leads must be connected in the correct polarity, otherwise higher out of range values will
appear. Use the Positive Lead for the control circuit and the Negative Lead for the ground circuit.
4. Test for 6 k - 9 kΩ between blower motor control circuit terminal 2 and the low reference circuit
terminal 4.
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the ventilation heat and cool module.
Note
The test leads need to be connected in the correct polarity, otherwise higher out of range values
will appear. Use the Positive Lead for the speed control circuit and the Negative Lead for the
ground circuit.
5. Test for 290 k - 420 kΩ between blower motor speed control circuit terminal 7 and the low
reference circuit terminal 4.
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the ventilation heat and cool module.

Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

8. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.
Page 3017
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Alignment: Description and Operation Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at
the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical.
Camber settings influence the directional control and the tire wear.
Too much positive camber will result in premature wear on the outside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Too much negative camber will result in premature wear on the inside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Unequal side-to-side camber of 1 degree or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side
with the most positive camber.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Coolant: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE COOLANT The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant.
This coolant is designed to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles (240 000 km),
whichever occurs first, if you add only DEX-COOL extended life coolant.
A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant will: Give freezing protection
down to -34°F (-37°C). Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). Protect against rust and
corrosion. Help keep the proper engine temperature. Let the warning lights and gages work as they
should.
NOTICE: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL may cause premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles
(50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Always use DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
WHAT TO USE Use a mixture of one-half clean, drinkable water and one-half DEX-COOL coolant
which won't damage aluminum parts. If you use this coolant mixture, you don't need to add
anything else.
CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some
other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your
engine could get too hot but you would not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL
coolant.
NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly
damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture
can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
If you have to add coolant more than four times a year, check your cooling system.
NOTICE: If extra inhibitors and/or additives are used in the vehicle's cooling system, the vehicle
could be damaged. Use only the proper mixture of the engine coolant listed for the cooling system.
DRIVE MOTOR/GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE (DMCM) COOLING SYSTEM Always use the
pre-mixed 50/50 mixture of de-ionized water and DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant.

Electrical Ground Repair Overview
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground
connections. Loose, stripped, or corroded connections increase the possibility of improper system
function and loss of module communication. These conditions may also lead to unnecessary
repairs and component replacement.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of the
following attachment methods:
- Welded M6 stud and nut
- Welded M6 nut and bolt
- Welded M8 nut and bolt
Determine which attachment method is used and perform the appropriate or alternative repair as
described in this bulletin.
M6 Weld Stud Replacement
Caution
Use only the GM-approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
1. Select a location adjacent the damaged or missing M6 ground stud having 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance behind the panel surface and 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance surrounding the M6 conductive rivet stud flange.
2. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, remove any grease from the repair site
and allow to dry.
Note Ensure 20 mm (0.79 in) clearance is maintained behind the panel to be drilled.
3. Drill a 10 mm (0.40 in) diameter hole through the panel.
4. Remove paint and primer from the area surrounding the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole until bare metal is
visible.

THIS PROGRAM IS IN EFFECT UNTIL APRIL 30, 2011.
Condition
Certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may have a condition in which
the vehicle's OnStar(R) system repeatedly makes incomplete calls to OnStar(R) without the
vehicle's occupant(s) input or knowledge. Customer initiated Blue Button call, Emergency calls,
and Automatic Crash Notification calls will also fail to establish a data connection with the
OnStar(R) Call Center. Eventually, the customer's call will connect as a voice only line and the
customer will be able to talk with an OnStar(R) advisor; however, the advisor will not get crucial
customer data such as vehicle identification and location.
Correction
Dealers/retailers are to replace the OnStar(R) module (VCIM).
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R), and built within
these VIN breakpoints:
Note:

GMVIS (dealers/retailers using WINS) or the Investigate Vehicle History link (dealers/retailers using
GWM). Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.
For dealers/retailers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete
vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will
be provided to dealers/retailers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers/retailers
will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration
Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up
necessary to complete this program is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries.

Body Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Instruments - Bulb Outage Detection
Restoration
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by
spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature
contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil
control circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). The ODM
output control is configured to operate as a low side driver for the powertrain relay. The ODM for
the powertrain relay also incorporates a fault detection circuit, which is continuously monitored by
the ECM. When the ECM commands the powertrain relay ON, ignition 1 voltage is supplied to the
ECM, and to several additional circuits.
Diagnostic Aids
This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely
charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See: Starting and Charging/Testing and

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Injector Cleaning Procedure
Notice
GM UPPER ENGINE AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER is the only injector cleaning agent
recommended. DO NOT USE OTHER CLEANING AGENTS AS THEY MAY CONTAIN
METHANOL, WHICH CAN DAMAGE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS. Under NO circumstances
should the GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner be added to the vehicle fuel tank.
Do not exceed the recommended cleaning solution concentration. Testing has demonstrated that
exceeding the recommended cleaning solution concentration does not improve the effectiveness of
this procedure.
Important
Vehicles with less than 160 km (100 mi) on the odometer should not have the injectors cleaned.
These vehicles should have any out of specification injectors replaced.
1. For 4, 5 and 6 cylinder engines, empty two of the 30 ml (1 oz) reservoirs of the GM Upper
Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner container into the J
35800-A - Injector Cleaning Tank then add 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. If you are
using any other brand of cleaning tank, you will need a total of 60 ml (2 oz) mixed with 420 ml (14
oz) of regular unleaded gasoline.
2. For 8 cylinder engines, empty two of the 30 ml (1 oz) reservoirs of the GM Upper Engine and
Fuel Injector Cleaner container into the J 35800-A Injector Cleaning Tank then add 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. If you are using any
other brand of cleaning tank, you will need a total of 60 ml (2 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector
Cleaner mixed with 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. This procedure will need to be
repeated for a second time for an 8 cylinder engine (8 cylinder engines receive 960 ml total fluid 120 ml (4 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner and 840 ml (28 oz) of gasoline.
3. Be sure to follow all additional instructions provided with the tool.
4. Electrically disable the vehicle fuel pump by either removing the fuel pump fuse or the fuel pump

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

with Navigation Radios
Some customers may comment on intermittent or no Global Positioning System (GPS) signal
reception on the Navigation radio. The GPS signal reception icon on the map screen may have a
red line through it.
This condition may be caused by aftermarket electronic devices such as radar detectors, cell
phones, and MP3 players that may interfere with the GPS signal reception. Aftermarket window
tinting or clear UV film applied to the windshield may also reduce the GPS signal reception and
cause the Navigation radio to function incorrectly.
Recommendations
Educate the customer on the GPS antenna location and the need to keep electronic devices away
from it. The GPS antenna is located in the upper center of the Instrument Panel. Instruct the
customer to move electronic devices away from the GPS antenna. It may also be necessary to
remove aftermarket films and tinting from the windshield.
Do not replace a Navigation radio that seems to have poor GPS signal reception without
considering these possible causes of the concern. Refer to the No Global Positioning System
(GPS) Reception diagnostic procedure in SI for more information.

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a squeak, creak, rumble or rattle noise coming from the front of
the vehicle or it may sound like it is coming through the front of the dash, during low speed
maneuvers. The noise may be most noticeable in ambient temperatures of 0°C (32°F) or colder.
The noise will most likely be heard during small to medium suspension travel such as in parking lot
maneuvers, over small bumps, or when stopping.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the front strut jounce bumper inside diameter to the piston rod of
the strut experiencing a slip/stick condition during certain cold ambient temperature conditions.
Correction
1. Test drive the vehicle in the same range of ambient temperatures of 0°C (32°F) or colder and the

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Effective cleaning steps for fabric:
1. Remove any residue by lightly rubbing the surface with a clean towel. 2. Choose the appropriate
stain remover based on the stain type. 3. Spray and lightly brush the area with a clean, soft bristle
brush. 4. Gently blot up the stain. 5. On upholstery/carpet, the use of a fabric protector can help to
reduce or eliminate future staining.
Upholstery and Carpet Stains
When cleaning upholstery and carpet stains ONLY, the following cleaning chart will help you
determine which cleaner/formula works best on a particular stain. The chart lists many of the
common stains. Some complex stains may require the application of both stain removers, one after
the other, to remove both food-based oils and synthetic oils.
A soft bristle brush (P/N 88861425) should be used to safely work the cleaner into the leather grain
or material. This enables the dirt/stain to be completely removed from the material.
Leather Conditioner/Restorer
A Leather Conditioner/Restorer is also available. The restorer is safe for all vinyl and leather. It is a
water-based product and contains essential emollients to restore suppleness, conditions and adds
luster without adding gloss. The restorer will also provide protection against re-staining.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Accessory DC Power Control Module (APM)
Location
The APM is affixed to and located underneath the PIM. It is fastened to the PIM with external
mounting fasteners and 2 internal high voltage circuit connection fasteners. The APM shares a
coolant passage with the PIM and as such is gasketed to the PIM.
Operating Functions
The APM is the device which converts high voltage (300V) direct current (DC) to low voltage (12V)
DC for accessory electrical operation and to charge the 12 volt accessory battery. The APM also
converts HV DC to intermediate (42V) DC to supply the electric power steering system with
voltage. The APM is capable of supplying up to 175 Amps of 12 volt DC and up to 50 Amps of 42
volt DC. In Jump Assist mode the APM converts 12 volt DC to HV DC to charge the high voltage
hybrid batteries. The APM is capable of supplying up to 2.7 Amps at 290 volts DC on the high
voltage circuit when operating in Jump Assist. An external 12V DC battery charger is required
during the Jump Assist mode because the APM and vehicle controllers may draw as much as 80
Amps of current from the vehicles 12 volt DC system.
Communication and Hosted Diagnostics
The APM has internal diagnostic tests that run at both power-up and during operation. All DTCs
from the APM are reported to and hosted by the HPCM. The APM communicates directly only with
the HPCM and only on the high speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit.
Circuit Inputs
Inputs supported by the APM include the high voltage and 12 volt circuits. The APM also monitors
various internal components for current, voltage and temperature. The APM is also connected to
the high speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit. An individual 12 volt discrete circuit powers
ON the APM. The APM will not begin conversion of voltage however, until the appropriate GMLAN
enable signal is communicated to it by the HPCM.
Circuit Outputs
The only outputs supported by the APM are the 12 volt and 42 volt conversion during normal
vehicle operation and high voltage conversion during Jump Assist.

Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
- An intermittent no crank/no start
- Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination
- Intermittent service lamp illumination
- Intermittent service message(s) being displayed
The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a buildup of nonconductive insulating oxidized debris known as
fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector.
This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
- Vibration
- Thermal cycling
- Poor connection/terminal retention
- Micro motion
- A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement
On low current signal circuits this condition may cause high resistance, resulting in intermittent
connections.

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Concerns About Safety and Alterations to the Front Passenger Seat
Important ON A GM VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM, USE THE
SEAT COVERS AND OTHER SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT AS RELEASED BY GM FOR THAT
VEHICLE. DO NOT ALTER THE SEAT COVERS OR SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT. ANY
ALTERATIONS TO SEAT COVERS OR GM ACCESSORIES DEFEATS THE INTENDED DESIGN
OF THE SYSTEM. GM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY USE OF
SUCH IMPROPER SEAT ALTERATIONS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS INCURRED.
The front passenger seat in many GM vehicles is equipped with a passenger sensing system that
will turn off the right front passenger's frontal airbag under certain conditions, such as when an
infant or child seat is present. In some vehicles, the passenger sensing system will also turn off the
right front passenger's seat mounted side impact airbag. For the system to function properly,
sensors are used in the seat to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant. The passenger
sensing system may not operate properly if the original seat trim is replaced (1) by non-GM covers,
upholstery or trim, or (2) by GM covers, upholstery or trim designed for a different vehicle or (3) by
GM covers, upholstery or trim that has been altered by a trim shop, or (4) if any object, such as an
aftermarket seat heater or a comfort enhancing pad or device is installed under the seat fabric or
between the occupant and the seat fabric.
Aftermarket Seat Heaters, Custom Upholstery, and Comfort Enhancing Pads or Devices
Important ON A GM VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM, USE ONLY
SEAT COVERS AND OTHER SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT RELEASED AS GM
ACCESSORIES FOR THAT VEHICLE. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF SEAT COVERS OR
SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT, OR GM ACCESSORIES RELEASED FOR OTHER VEHICLE
APPLICATIONS. GM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY USE OF SUCH
IMPROPER SEAT ACCESSORIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS MADE
NECESSARY BY SUCH USE.
Many types of aftermarket accessories are available to customers, upfitting shops, and dealers.
Some of these devices sit on top of, or are Velcro(R) strapped to the seat while others such as seat
heaters are installed under the seat fabric. Additionally, seat covers made of leather or other
materials may have different padding thickness installed that could prevent the Passenger Sensing
System from functioning properly. Never alter the vehicle seats. Never add pads or other devices to
the seat cushion, as this may interfere with the operation of the Passenger Sensing System and
either prevent proper deployment of the passenger airbag or prevent proper suppression of the
passenger air bag.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

In many cases, applying the proper lubrication can correct the following conditions:
* Binding or sticking door lock cylinders
* Difficulty in inserting and removing the keys
For lubricating the above components, use lubricant GM P/N 12346241 or equivalent.
Do not use penetrating lubricants such as GM P/N 1052949 or WD-40(R). Penetrating lubricants
wash out the original lubrication. Penetrating lubricants eventually evaporate, leaving little or no
lubricating material. However, when using penetrating lubricants in order to thaw or in order to
loosen the lock cylinder components, refer to steps 2-4 in the procedure below for the proper
methods of lubrication.
Repair lock cylinders frozen in cold weather by using the following procedure:
1. While carefully avoiding damage to the painted surfaces, apply heat to the cylinder with a heat
gun. 2. Using a paper clip or a similar item, hold the door shutter open.
Force air into the cylinders using compressed air through a blow gun attachment.
3. While holding the shutter door open, inject small amounts of a recommended lubricant into the
cylinder. 4. Work the key into the cylinder repeatedly.

Description and Operation
Camshaft: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Actuator and Solenoid Valve Description
Camshaft
The camshaft is designed to provide a lubrication path for pressurized engine oil to flow to the
camshaft position (CMP) actuator. Pressurized engine oil enters the camshaft at bearing journal
location number 2. Oil travels through the camshaft, out the front, and into the CMP actuator
solenoid valve.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Valve
The CMP actuator solenoid valve consists of a housing, spool valve (1), spool return spring (2), oil
filter (3), inlet check ball return spring (4), and inlet check ball (5). Pressurized engine oil enters the
valve and travels through the filter to the spool. Spool position is controlled by the CMP magnet
and engine control module (ECM). When the spool is moved to the proper position, oil flow is
directed through the valve and into the CMP actuator assembly. The CMP solenoid valve is a
torque-to-yield design and should be replaced each time it is removed.

- It is not necessary to replace rotors in pairs. Rotors may be replaced individually. However,
caution should be exercised, as a variance in surface finish may cause a brake pull condition.
- New rotors should not be refinished before installation. Original equipment rotor surfaces are
ground to ensure smooth finish and parallelism between mounting and friction surfaces. If a new
rotor has more than 0.050 mm (0.002 in) Lateral Run Out (LRO) when properly mounted on the
hub, correct it using one of the following methods:
1. For hubless rotor designs, use the correction plate procedure found in the "GM Brake Service
Procedure for Hubless Rotors" outlined in this
bulletin.
2. For hubbed/trapped/captured rotor designs, refinish the rotor using an On-Car lathe and the
procedure outlined in this bulletin.
- Never reuse rotors that measure under the Minimum Thickness specification. In this instance, the
rotor should be replaced.
Important If the Minimum Thickness specification is not visible on the rotor, reference Service
Information (SI) for the specific vehicle application. DO NOT use any other manufacturers rotor
specifications.
Brake Pads:
Important When determining the warranty coverage (as an example) - if all four front or four rear
brake pads are excessively worn evenly, that would NOT be covered under warranty since this
type of wear is most likely due to driving habits or trailering. However, if the brake pads are
excessively worn un-evenly, side-to-side or same side/inner-to-outer pads, then consideration
should be given to cover this under warranty since this type of wear is most likely due to poor
operation of other braking components.
- Consideration should be given for covering brake pads up to 39,000 km (24,000 mi) (excluding
owner abuse, excessive trailering, or the situations that would not be considered normal use).
- Installation of new rotors does not require pad replacement. Do not replace pads unless their
condition requires it - excessively worn, damage or contaminated.
Brake Wear:
Several factors impact brake lining wear and should be taken into account when reviewing related
issues:
- heavy loads / high temperatures / towing / mountainous driving / city driving / aggressive driving /
driver braking characteristics (left foot or two feet)
The following are conditions that may extend brake lining wear:
- light loads / highway driving / conservative driving / level terrain

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

1. Inspect the disc brake pads at regular intervals, or whenever the tire and wheel assemblies are
removed from the vehicle. 2. If replacement is necessary, always replace disc brake pads in axle
sets. 3. Inspect both edges of the disc brake pad friction surfaces (3). The highest rate of wear
normally occurs at the trailing edge of the disc brake pads. 4. Inspect the thickness of the disc
brake pads (3) in order to ensure that they have not worn prematurely. The disc brake pad wear
should be
approximately even per axle set.
5. Both front and rear disc brake pads have integral, audible wear sensors (1). When the disc brake
pad wear reaches the minimum allowable
thickness, the wear sensor contacts the disc brake rotor (2). The wear indicator will then produce
an audible, high-pitched warning noise during wheel rotation.
6. Replace the disc brake pads when the friction surface (3) is worn to within 0.76 mm (0.030 in) of
the mounting plates. 7. Remove the brake calipers and inspect the friction surfaces of the inner and
outer disc brake pads to ensure that they are level. Place the disc brake
pad friction surfaces together and measure the gap between the surfaces. If more than 0.13 mm
(0.005 in) gap exists midway between the length of the disc brake pads, replace the disc brake
pads.
8. Verify that any disc brake pad shims that may be required are in place and not damaged or
excessively corroded. Replace any missing or damaged
shims in order to preserve proper disc brake performance.
9. Replace the disc brake pads if any have separated from the mounting plates.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform theDiagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* ReviewStrategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions )provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the engine control module (ECM) supplies power to the in-tank fuel
pump, by energizing the fuel pump relay. The in-tank fuel pump remains ON as long as the engine
is cranking or running and the ECM receives crankshaft reference pulses. If there are no reference
pulses, the ECM turns the in-tank fuel pump OFF, 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON
or 2 seconds after the engine stops running. The electric fuel pump is incorporated into the modular
fuel pump and sender assembly and is located inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies fuel
through a fuel filter, also located in the modular fuel pump and sender assembly, through the fuel
feed pipes, to the fuel rail assembly. The fuel pump provides fuel at a pressure above the pressure
needed by the fuel injectors. The fuel pressure regulator, located in the modular fuel pump and
sender assembly, keeps the fuel available to the fuel injectors at a regulated pressure. When the
fuel pressure rises above the pressure regulator calibration, the pressure is relieved, with excess
fuel exhausted into the modular fuel pump and sender assembly reservoir.

Bulletin No.: 99-01-39-004C
Date: June 12, 2009
Subject: Air Conditioning Odor (Install Evaporator Core Dryer Kit and Apply Cooling Coil Coating)
Models:
1993-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 All
Equipped with Air Conditioning
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 and 2010 model years. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004B (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment about musty odors emitted from the Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) system at vehicle start-up in hot, humid conditions.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions. The odor may be the result of microbial growth on
the evaporator core. When the blower motor fan is turned on, the microbial growth may release an
unpleasant musty odor into the passenger compartment.
There are several other possible sources of a musty odor in a vehicle. A common source is a water
leak into the interior of the vehicle or foreign material in the HVAC air distribution system. Follow
the procedures in SI for identifying and correcting water leaks and air inlet inspection.
The procedure contained in this bulletin is only applicable if the odor source has been determined
to be microbial growth on the evaporator core inside the HVAC module.
Correction
Many vehicles currently incorporate an afterblow function within the HVAC control module
software. The afterblow feature, when enabled, employs the HVAC blower fan to dry the
evaporator after vehicle shut down and this function will inhibit microbial growth. Technicians are to
confirm that the customer concern is evaporator core odor and that the vehicle has the imbedded
afterblow feature, as defined in the SI document for that specific vehicle model, model year and
specific HVAC option. Refer to SI for enabling the afterblow function. Vehicles being delivered in
areas prone to high humidity conditions may benefit from having the afterblow enabled calibration
installed prior to any customer comment.
Important If the vehicle is not factory equipped with the imbedded afterblow enable feature, it may
be added with the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit (P/N 12497910 or AC Delco 15-5876).
Important When installing the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module, you MUST use the included
electrical splice connectors to ensure a proper splice. Complete detailed installation instructions
and self testing procedures are supplied with the kit. If necessary, the Electronic Evaporator Dryer
Module may be installed underhood if it is protected from extreme heat and water splash areas.
To immediately remove the evaporator core odor on all suspect vehicles, it is necessary to
eliminate the microbial growth and prevent its re-occurrence. To accomplish this, perform the
following procedure:
Vehicle and Applicator Tool Preparation
1. The evaporator core must be dry. This may be accomplished by disabling the compressor and
running the blower fan on the recirc heat setting for
an extended period of time.
Note Compressor engagement will cause the evaporator core to remain wet and will prevent full
adherence of the Coiling Coil Coating to the evaporator core surfaces.
2. Verify that the air conditioning drain hose is not clogged and place a drain pan beneath the
vehicle.
Page 5306
1. Relieve the fuel system pressure, if required. Perform the following steps:
Warning
Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure connection in order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury. The towel will absorb any fuel leakage that occurs during the connection of the fuel
pressure gage. Place the towel in an approved container when the connection of the fuel pressure
gage is complete.
1. Wrap a shop towel around the fuel rail service port. 2. Place the hose on the CH-48027-2 (2) into
an approved gasoline container. 3. Open the valve on the CH-48027-2 (2) in order to bleed any fuel
from the fuel rail. 4. Close the valve on the CH-48027-2 (2). 5. Remove the hose on the
CH-48027-2 (2) from the approved gasoline container. 6. Remove the shop towel from around the

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper tension on
the drive belt.
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by an incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt
for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt fall off.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify
the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off.
The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for
cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys. 4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be
caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the
accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair.
Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys.
If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation
procedure of that pulley. 5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a
dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all
of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to
drive the pulley. 6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive
belt fall off. 7. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut ,
spacer, or washer was installed. Missing, loose, or the wrong fasteners may cause pulley
misalignment from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of the fasteners may cause
misalignment of the accessory component bracket. 13. The inspection is to verify the drive belt is
correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear on the drive belt may be caused by
mis-positioning the drive belt by one groove on a pulley. 14. The installation of a drive belt that is
too wide or too narrow will cause wear on the drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the
grooves on all of the pulleys. 15. This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not contacting any
parts of the engine or body while the engine is operating. There should be sufficient clearance
when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt should not come in
contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.

SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note
Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.

Circuit/System Description
The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speeds up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted
pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the engine control module (ECM)
and the other can be a separate resistor in a connector assembly or in another control module. The
resistors are used as the load for the High Speed GMLAN buss during normal vehicle operation.
The high speed GMLAN is a differential bus. The high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and high
speed GMLAN serial data (-) are driven to opposite extremes from a rest or idle level of
approximately 2.5 V. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds one volt to the high speed GMLAN
serial data bus (+) circuit and subtracts one volt from the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-)
circuit. If serial data is lost, control modules will set a no communication code against the
non-communicating control module. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure
of the module that set it.
Diagnostic Aids
* Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a
history U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status.
Loss-of-communication U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they
are transparent to the vehicle operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms.
Eventually, they will erase themselves automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles.
This condition would most likely be attributed to one of these scenarios:
- A control module on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication
circuit is awake.
- Power to one or more modules was interrupted during diagnosis
- A low battery condition was present, so some control modules stop communicating when battery
voltage drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and control modules on the communication circuit did
not all re-initialize at the same time.
- If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never
be interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
* Do not replace a control module reporting a U-code. The U-code identifies which control module
needs to be diagnosed for a communication issue.
* Communication may be available between the BCM and the scan tool with the high speed
GMLAN serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to the BCM using both the high and
low speed GMLAN systems.
* An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but not
communicate with the vehicle. When the scan tool attempts to communicate with the vehicle a
message "no CANdi module detected" will be displayed.
* The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the high speed GMLAN serial data
bus.
* Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) and no low speed GMLAN communications with the scan tool.
* The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the high speed GMLAN serial data
bus. These conditions may be caused by the installation of an aftermarket navigation radio module
(see bulletins). Some customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:
- Vehicle will not crank.
- Vehicle cranks but will not start.
- Vehicle stability enhancement system warning lights and messages.
- PRNDL gear indicator position errors.
- Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system warning lights.

Defrosting Time/Performance Concern
The electrochromatic (auto-dimming) outside rearview mirror used on the driver's side of many GM
vehicles is slower to defrost than the passenger side outside rearview mirror.
This is a normal condition. The glass on the driver's side electrochromatic mirror is twice as thick as
the traditional glass on the passenger side mirror. The heating elements for the mirrors on both
sides draw the same wattage, therefore the driver's side mirror will take approximately twice as
long to defrost as the passenger mirror (approximately four minutes versus two minutes). Should a
customer indicate that the driver's side heated mirror is not functioning correctly, verify it's function
based upon this information prior to replacing the mirror.

Bulletin No.: 08-07-30-035B
Date: November 01, 2010
Subject: Information on Water or Ethylene Glycol in Transmission Fluid
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks with Automatic Transmission
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 08-07-30-035A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Water or ethylene glycol in automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is harmful to internal transmission
components and will have a negative effect on reliability and durability of these parts. Water or
ethylene glycol in ATF will also change the friction of the clutches, frequently resulting in shudder
during engagement or gear changes, especially during torque converter clutch engagement.
Indications of water in the ATF may include:
- ATF blowing out of the transmission vent tube.
- ATF may appear cloudy or, in cases of extreme contamination, have the appearance of a
strawberry milkshake.
- Visible water in the oil pan.
- A milky white substance inside the pan area.
- Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be glued to the valve body face or case.
- Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be swollen or wrinkled in areas where they are not
compressed.
- Rust on internal transmission iron/steel components.
If water in the ATF has been found and the source of the water entry has not been identified, or if a
leaking in-radiator transmission oil cooler is suspected (with no evidence of cross-contamination in
the coolant recovery reservoir), a simple and quick test kit is available that detects the presence of
ethylene glycol in ATF. The "Gly-Tek" test kit, available from the Nelco Company, should be
obtained and the ATF tested to make an accurate decision on the need for radiator replacement.
This can help to prevent customer comebacks if the in-radiator transmission oil cooler is leaking
and reduce repair expenses by avoiding radiator replacement if the cooler is not leaking. These
test kits can be obtained from:
Nelco Company
Test kits can be ordered by phone or through the website listed above. Orders are shipped
standard delivery time but can be shipped on a next day delivery basis for an extra charge. One
test kit will complete 10 individual fluid sample tests. For vehicles repaired under warranty, the cost
of the complete test kit plus shipping charges should be divided by 10 and submitted on the
warranty claim as a net item.
The transmission should be repaired or replaced based on the normal cost comparison procedure.
Important If water or coolant is found in the transmission, the following components MUST be
replaced.
- Replace all of the rubber-type seals.
- Replace all of the composition-faced clutch plates and/or bands.
- Replace all of the nylon parts.
- Replace the torque converter.
- Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transmission, using new gaskets and oil filter.
Important The following steps must be completed when repairing or replacing.
Flush and flow check the transmission oil cooler using J 45096. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number

Condition
Some customers may comment about the effort required to shift from 2HI to 4HI in cold ambient
temperatures at -6°C (20°F) or below.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the standard front axle being equipped with conventional mineral
oil axle fluid. In cold ambient temperatures, prior to complete warm up, the fluid viscosity is thick.
This may affect transfer case shift performance prior to full warm up.
Correction
Drain the front axle fluid and refill with GM SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Fluid, P/N 89021677 (in
Canada, 89021678). Refer to Front Axle Lubricant Replacement in SI. It is important to use
synthetic fluid in this 8.25" axle to improve the performance of the 4WD system in cold ambient
temperatures.

Condition
Certain 2007-2009 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra vehicles currently or
previously registered in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin may have a
condition where an electronic component located beneath the driver's seat may corrode due to a
significant quantity of snow and/or water containing road salt or other contaminants entering the
vehicle and saturating the acoustical padding beneath the carpet. The vehicle's electronic sensing
and diagnostic module (SDM) is located underneath this acoustical padding. If sufficient moisture
collects and is retained in the padding, it may cause excessive corrosion under the module;
compromising the module seal and allowing water intrusion and system malfunction. This may
result in illumination of the Airbag Readiness light, along with a "Service Airbag" message on the
Driver Information Center, and in rare cases, deployment of the seat belt pretensioner and/or
airbags.

Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in
removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to
installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper
readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY.
Notice
Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or
drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to
clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light
coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel
pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub.
Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage
Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse.
You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not
retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any
component suspected of damage.
Tip
Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged
BEFORE tightening the nut.
Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side
of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation.
Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque
Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid
additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown
for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in
order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off
center resulting in vibration.

The minimum compression in any one cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. For example, if the highest pressure in any one cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest
allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). Multiply the highest cylinder
pressure by 70 percent, 1035 kPa x 70 percent = 725 kPa (150 psi x 70 percent = 105 psi), in order
to determine the lowest allowable pressure in any other cylinder.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.

Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
* SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
* OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol.
Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical
problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on
accessories are not the cause of the problems.
Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include:
* Power feeds connected to points other than the battery
* Antenna location
* Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring
* Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line
* Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories.

onto the subject vehicle.
- After match mounting, the tire/wheel assembly must be rebalanced.
If match mounting tires to in-spec wheels produces assembly values higher than these, tire
replacement may be necessary. Replacing tires at lower values will probably mean good tires are
being condemned. Because tires can sometimes become temporarily flat-spotted, which will affect
force variation, it is important that the vehicle be driven at least 16 km (10 mi) prior to measuring.
Tire pressure must also be adjusted to the usage pressure on the vehicle's tire placard prior to
measuring.
Most GM vehicles will tolerate radial force variation up to these levels. However, some vehicles are
more sensitive, and may require lower levels. Also, there are other tire parameters that equipment
such as the Hunter GSP9700 cannot measure that may be a factor. In such cases, TAC should be
contacted for further instructions.
Important
- When mounting a GM wheel to a wheel balancer/force variation machine, always use the wheel's
center pilot hole. This is the primary centering mechanism on all GM wheels; the bolt holes are
secondary. Usually a back cone method to the machine should be used. For added accuracy and
repeatability, a flange plate should be used to clamp the wheel onto the cone and machine. This
system is offered by all balancer manufacturers in GM's dealer program.
- Any type of service equipment that removes tread rubber by grinding, buffing or truing is NOT
recommended, and may void the tire warranty. However, tires may have been ground by the tire
company as part of their tire manufacturing process. This is a legitimate procedure.

Injector Cleaning Procedure
Notice
GM UPPER ENGINE AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER is the only injector cleaning agent
recommended. DO NOT USE OTHER CLEANING AGENTS AS THEY MAY CONTAIN
METHANOL, WHICH CAN DAMAGE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS. Under NO circumstances
should the GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner be added to the vehicle fuel tank.
Do not exceed the recommended cleaning solution concentration. Testing has demonstrated that
exceeding the recommended cleaning solution concentration does not improve the effectiveness of
this procedure.
Important
Vehicles with less than 160 km (100 mi) on the odometer should not have the injectors cleaned.
These vehicles should have any out of specification injectors replaced.
1. For 4, 5 and 6 cylinder engines, empty two of the 30 ml (1 oz) reservoirs of the GM Upper
Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner container into the J
35800-A - Injector Cleaning Tank then add 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. If you are
using any other brand of cleaning tank, you will need a total of 60 ml (2 oz) mixed with 420 ml (14
oz) of regular unleaded gasoline.
2. For 8 cylinder engines, empty two of the 30 ml (1 oz) reservoirs of the GM Upper Engine and
Fuel Injector Cleaner container into the J 35800-A Injector Cleaning Tank then add 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. If you are using any
other brand of cleaning tank, you will need a total of 60 ml (2 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector
Cleaner mixed with 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. This procedure will need to be
repeated for a second time for an 8 cylinder engine (8 cylinder engines receive 960 ml total fluid 120 ml (4 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner and 840 ml (28 oz) of gasoline.
3. Be sure to follow all additional instructions provided with the tool.
4. Electrically disable the vehicle fuel pump by either removing the fuel pump fuse or the fuel pump
relay and disconnecting the oil pressure switch
connector, if equipped.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Condition
Some customers may comment on an engine valve lifter tick noise that occurs after the engine has
been shut off for at least two hours. The tick noise may last from two seconds to ten minutes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- Aerated oil in the valve lifter body, resulting in the valve lifter being unable to purge the air quickly.
- A low engine oil level or incorrect oil viscosity.
- Dirty or contaminated oil.
- A low internal valve lifter oil reservoir level.
- Debris in the valve lifter.
- A high valve lifter leak down rate.
Correction
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate the cause of this valve lifter tick noise and normal oil pressure is
noted during the concern, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the engine oil condition and level. Refer to Owner Manual > Service and Appearance
Care > Checking Things Under the Hood >
Description and Operation > Engine Oil in SI.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,
Equinox, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse 2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon 2009
Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Condition
Note
For the model year vehicles mentioned above, the "Directions and Connections" service package
will allow the driver to request directions from OnStar(R).
Vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) and a navigation radio may experience intermittent failure to
download directions to the navigation radio. Customers will call OnStar(R) for directions, OnStar(R)
will download the destination to the vehicle and the customer will hear "Your destination is being
sent to your vehicle. When safe and appropriate, press the Go button and follow instructions on
your navigation screen to begin your route." However, the customer may not see the Go button, or
the Go button on the navigation screen may be unresponsive, and therefore unable to be pressed
in order to start the directions.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- The navigation disc is not inserted in the radio. Some radios may display a message that states
that the map disc must be inserted for destination download.
- An OnStar(R) (VCIM) module software anomaly. The OnStar(R) destination download does not
complete communicating to the navigation radio within a certain time frame.
- A navigation radio software anomaly. This applies to 2008-2009 CTS and CTS-V vehicles with
RPO UAV.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the navigation radio for any of these conditions.
- If the navigation disc is not installed, insert the navigation disc and test the operation of the
system.
- For 2008-2009 CTS and CTS-V vehicles with RPO UAV, update the navigation radio software.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-08-44-019A.
- For all other vehicles, an updated OnStar(R) VCIM is now available. Replace the OnStar(R)

Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Circuit/System Description
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. The ignition
voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by
grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding
resistance that is too high or too low will affect the engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit
DTC may not set, but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by
temperature. The resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the
fuel injector increases.
The CH-47976, is used to test the fuel pump, fuel system leak down, and the fuel injectors.
Following the User Guide, CH 47976-11, and the on screen prompts or selections, will indicate the
steps required to perform each of the available tests. The tester will perform all of the tests
automatically and display results of the test. The results can also be down loaded for storage and
printing.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a rattle noise from the wheel or hub cap while driving. Other
customers may comment on loose wheel nut caps or caps that may not tighten on the wheel nuts.
Cause
Depending on the generation of the wheel caps, the issue may be overtorqued wheel nut caps or
may be caused by the lack of internal threads inside the wheel nut caps. The wheel nut cap (1) is
correctly threaded. The wheel nut cap (2) shows the insufficient threads.
Correction
Important The wheel nut caps are serviced separately from the center wheel hub cap for most hub
caps. Refer to the GM electronic parts catalog (EPC) for details.
Inspect each wheel nut cap and replace as necessary using the steps below.
1. Remove the wheel hub cap from the vehicle. 2. Place the front of the wheel hub cap down on a
protected clean work bench being careful not to scratch or damage the hub cap surface. 3. Inspect
all the wheel nut caps, marking any bad wheel nut caps.
Page 5158
Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener

Effective cleaning steps for fabric:
1. Remove any residue by lightly rubbing the surface with a clean towel. 2. Choose the appropriate
stain remover based on the stain type. 3. Spray and lightly brush the area with a clean, soft bristle
brush. 4. Gently blot up the stain. 5. On upholstery/carpet, the use of a fabric protector can help to
reduce or eliminate future staining.
Upholstery and Carpet Stains
When cleaning upholstery and carpet stains ONLY, the following cleaning chart will help you
determine which cleaner/formula works best on a particular stain. The chart lists many of the
common stains. Some complex stains may require the application of both stain removers, one after
the other, to remove both food-based oils and synthetic oils.
A soft bristle brush (P/N 88861425) should be used to safely work the cleaner into the leather grain
or material. This enables the dirt/stain to be completely removed from the material.
Leather Conditioner/Restorer
A Leather Conditioner/Restorer is also available. The restorer is safe for all vinyl and leather. It is a
water-based product and contains essential emollients to restore suppleness, conditions and adds
luster without adding gloss. The restorer will also provide protection against re-staining.

Coolant: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE COOLANT The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant.
This coolant is designed to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles (240 000 km),
whichever occurs first, if you add only DEX-COOL extended life coolant.
A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant will: Give freezing protection
down to -34°F (-37°C). Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). Protect against rust and
corrosion. Help keep the proper engine temperature. Let the warning lights and gages work as they
should.
NOTICE: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL may cause premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles
(50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Always use DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
WHAT TO USE Use a mixture of one-half clean, drinkable water and one-half DEX-COOL coolant
which won't damage aluminum parts. If you use this coolant mixture, you don't need to add
anything else.
CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some
other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your
engine could get too hot but you would not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL
coolant.
NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly
damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture
can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
If you have to add coolant more than four times a year, check your cooling system.
NOTICE: If extra inhibitors and/or additives are used in the vehicle's cooling system, the vehicle
could be damaged. Use only the proper mixture of the engine coolant listed for the cooling system.
DRIVE MOTOR/GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE (DMCM) COOLING SYSTEM Always use the
pre-mixed 50/50 mixture of de-ionized water and DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
Warning
Do not leave the ignition key in the ON position after the test is performed. Leaving the key in the
ON position may result in an Auto-Start of the engine and possible personal injury.
Note
When performing an engine cylinder compression test for the RPO-LFA engine, note that this
engine has a camshaft position actuator with a late intake valve closing feature and a 29 degree
retard park position. With the actuator parked in a retard position, the effective compression of the
engine is reduced during cranking. Compression values on the gage will be lower than a typical
small block engine that does not have this feature.
1. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. As
required, disable the auto-stop function prior to repair.
Refer to Hybrid Modes of Operation Description (See: Hybrid Drive Systems/Description and
Operation/Hybrid Controls/Hybrid Modes of Operation Description) .
2. Ignition key in the OFF position. 3. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully charged. 4.
Disable the fuel and spark by removing the Fuel Pump relay and Powertrain relay. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views (See: Fuses and
Circuit Breakers/Fuse Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) for the Fuse Block - Underhood Label.
5. Remove the spark plug wires from the spark plugs. 6. Remove all of the spark plugs.
Warning
Do not leave the ignition key in the ON position after the test is performed. Leaving the key in the
ON position may result in an Auto-Start of the engine and possible personal injury.
7. Install a compression gage to the cylinder to be tested. 8. Start with the compression gage at
zero and crank the engine 3-5 seconds using the ignition key. 9. Return the ignition key to the OFF
position.
10. Measure the compression for each cylinder. Record the readings. 11. The minimum
compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest cylinder. For
example, if the highest pressure in any
1 cylinder is 862 kPa (125 psi), the lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 607
kPa (88 psi). (862 kPa x 70% = 607 kPa) (125 psi x 70% = 88 psi).
* Normal - Compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression for each
cylinder.
* Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression builds up with the
following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when you add
oil.
* Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up
on the following strokes. Compression does not improve much when you add oil.
* If 2 adjacent cylinders have lower than normal compression, and injecting oil into the cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause may be a head gasket leaking between the
cylinders.
12. If a cylinder has low compression, inject approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into
the combustion chamber through the spark plug
hole. Measure the compression again and record the reading.
13. Reinstall the Fuel Pump relay and Powertrain relay. 14. Using the scan tool, clear all diagnostic
codes.

ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

Bulletin No.: 09-04-21-003D
Date: January 14, 2011
Subject: Clunk Noise at Stop or from Launch (Clean/Lubricate Rear Propshaft Slip Yoke Splines)
Models:
2007-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series 2008-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe
1500 Series 2007-2009 GMC Sierra 1500 Series 2008-2009 GMC Yukon, Yukon XL 1500 Series

Attention:
This bulletin contains a procedure to clean/lubricate the rear propshaft slip yoke splines and
replace, if necessary. Check the history on this vehicle. If the lubrication procedure has been
performed previously, then continue on and replace the transfer case rear output shaft.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the warranty statement. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 09-04-21-003C (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a bump feel or clunk noise at a stop or on launch. Customers
may also comment that the bump feel or clunk is noticed after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop and that it feels as if the vehicle was bumped from behind.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the rear propshaft slip yoke and the
transfer case rear output shaft splines. Braking to a complete stop can force the propshaft slip yoke
forward into the transfer case while the vehicle rebounds slightly backward after stopping its
momentum.
Correction
Note
Do not use grease for lubrication of the slip yoke splines on 4WD vehicles. The output shaft in a
4WD transfer case does not have a grease retainer to keep the grease from migrating into the
transfer case and mixing with the fluid inside. Grease is not compatible with the automatic
transmission fluid (ATF) used in the transfer case and can cause damage if mixed.
Note
The clunk noise may also be due to fuel movement in the fuel tank when not completely full. If the
condition is eliminated after filling the fuel tank, the noise is isolated to the fuel movement in the
tank. Please make no repair attempts, as this noise is considered an operating characteristic.
Verify the customer's concern.
Clean/Lubricate Rear PropShaft Slip Yoke Splines
1. Remove the rear drive shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect
the rear propshaft slip yoke splines.

Drive Motor Control Module: Description and Operation
Drive Motor Generator Control Module Description and Operation
Overview
The drive motor generator power inverter module (PIM) assembly converts high voltage direct
current (DC) electrical energy to 3 phase alternating current (AC) electrical energy. The accessory
DC power control module (APM) converts high voltage DC electric energy into low voltage (14V)
and intermediate voltage (42V) in order to charge the vehicles accessory battery and supply
electric energy to the 42V power steering system. The APM and PIM are fastened together and are
referred to as the drive motor generator control module assembly. The drive motor generator
control module assembly is cooled with pre-mixed Dexcool(R) circulating through a cooling system
that is separate from the engine cooling system. The hybrid cooling system utilizes a heat
exchanger at the front of the vehicle and electric pumps to circulate the coolant. The engine control
module (ECM) monitors a temperature sensor in the hybrid cooling system and operates the
radiator fan and the hybrid coolant pumps in response to system temperature.
High Voltage Circuits
Direct Current (DC)
The drive motor generator control module assembly is connected to each pole of the high voltage
(HV), direct current (DC) drive motor generator battery. Both of the negative and positive HV DC
battery poles are isolated from the vehicle chassis by a specific amount of resistance. Each HV DC
cable is switched ON or OFF by a high voltage, high current contactor relay contained within the
drive motor generator battery assembly. All HV DC negative and positive DC cables are individually
shielded and orange in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage. The
electric air conditioning compressor high voltage DC cables are externally connected at the drive
motor generator control module assembly. The APM and PIM share an internal connection that
supplies the APM with high voltage DC current.
Three Phase Alternating Current (AC)
Three cables connect each motor generator to the PIM. Each individually shielded cable is orange
in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage.
Intermediate and Low Voltage Circuits
The APM converts high voltage 300V DC current into both intermediate voltage, 42V, and low
voltage, 12V, current.
Intermediate Voltage 42V Direct Current
Intermediate voltage 42V cables are individually shielded and are blue in color to alert the
technician to the potential presence of intermediate voltage.
Low Voltage (12V) Direct Current
Low voltage (12V) cables on the hybrid-electric vehicle do not require unique coloring or servicing
procedures.
Drive Motor Generator Power Inverter Module (PIM) Assembly
Overview
Contained within the PIM assembly are the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM), and two
motor control modules (MCM). Each MCM controls its respective motor generator. All three
modules are flash-programmable micro-processors.
Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM)
Location
The HPCM is a non-serviceable, flash-programmable micro-processor contained within the PIM
assembly.
Operating Functions
The HPCM is the main controller of hybrid operation. The HPCM determines when to perform
hybrid operation modes such as engine Auto-stop and regenerative braking. The HPCM also
operates in conjunction with the battery energy control module (BECM) to determine when to
enable and disable the DC high voltage circuits. Each MCM operates the applicable electric motor
generator based upon HPCM commands.
Communication and Hosted Diagnostics
The HPCM is the host controller for diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information for the following
control modules:

occur on any of the four outside door handles on the vehicle. This condition is more prevalent in
warmer climates.
Cause
The pins that retain the handle to the base at its forward pivot point can be pulled out of the base
(The handle does not fall off of the vehicle). This occurs in hot temperatures when the handle is
pulled in an outboard and rearward motion when opening the door.
Correction
A new clip has been designed to prevent the legs of the fork area of the handle from collapsing and
letting the handle pull out. Use the following procedure to install the clip into the outside door
handle assembly.
1. Remove the outside door handle that is experiencing the concern.
- Use the published procedure in SI for Front Side Door Outside Handle Replacement for front door
handle service.
- Use the published procedure in SI for Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement for rear door
handle service.
2. With the back of the handle assembly exposed, reposition the handle to properly engage the
pivot pins into the handle base. With the handle pivot
pins properly engaged, install the service clip (1).
3. Reinstall the handle to the vehicle and verify its function.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Condition, Cause and Correction
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-05-001H (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition 1
Some customers may comment on a pinging/popping/snapping noise from underneath the vehicle
at idle or immediately after the vehicle is shut off. Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust
system during cool down is a normal condition. The noise may be intermittent depending on the
outside temperature and or temperature of the exhaust system at the time of testing.
Cause 1
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping
As the exhaust system cools, the muffler shell and muffler internals contract at different rates.
Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust system during cool down is a normal condition.
Correction 1
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping Noise (Normal)
This condition is normal to the muffler design and does not indicate poor quality or part failure. No
repairs are necessary for this condition. Replacing the muffler heat shield straps will NOT eliminate
this noise. A new muffler may sound quiet for this condition, but as it ages may again produce this
same condition.
Condition 2
Some customers may also comment on a buzz noise coming from the muffler during vehicle
operation.
Cause 2
Muffler Heat Shield Buzz
If the muffler heat shield straps are loose, the heat shield may be free to buzz during vehicle
operation.
Correction 2
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 06-08-61-003E (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a pop or clunk type noise while turning or driving on uneven
road surfaces. This noise can be heard and/or felt at either the driver's or front passenger floor pan
area.
Cause
Under certain conditions, normal movement between the frame and the #1, #2 or #3 body mounts
may cause this noise to occur.
Diagnosis
1. If the vehicle is equipped with aftermarket (non-GM Accessory) running boards or the running
board is mounted using the body mount bolt,
remove the running boards prior to test driving the vehicle. This will eliminate the running boards as
the possible cause of the noise.
2. Install the J-39570 Chassis Ears to the frame rail at or near the body mounts. 3. Test drive the
vehicle to identify which mount is suspect.
Correction
Install an insulator at the suspect mount(s). The insulator should be installed between the upper
portion of the body mount and the frame bracket. The #1 mount is the mount located just under the
A-pillar. The #2 mount is the mount located just under the B-pillar. The #3 mount is the mount
located just under the C-pillar. Use the procedure listed below.
1. Raise the vehicle on the hoist. It is recommended to use a four-post lift or strap the vehicle frame
to the hoist arms. 2. For the left side mounts only, remove the intermediate park brake cable.
Perform the following steps:
1. Remove the nut from the park brake equalizer. 2. Remove the intermediate cable from the
equalizer. 3. Depress the retaining tabs that secure the park brake cable to the frame. 4. Pull
slightly on the cable from the mounting area in order to provide slack for body movement without
binding the cable.
3. Remove all of the body mount bolts on the side being repaired. 4. Properly support the body at
the body mount area.
Caution When you remove the body mount, do NOT separate the frame from the body more than is
necessary. Possible personal injury and damage to multiple parts may result.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

2006-2010 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 05-08-51-008B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Visible rust colored spots or bumps on a vehicle's paint surface from rail or iron dust.
Cause
Rail dust comes from tiny iron particles produced from the friction between train wheels and the
tracks and gets deposited on the vehicle surfaces. Iron dust can get deposited on the surface if the
vehicle is stored near any operation producing iron dust such as an iron ore yard. Either material
can lay on top of, or become embedded in, the paint surface.
Correction
Because the severity of the condition varies, proper diagnosis of the damage is critical to the
success of repairs. Diagnosis should be performed on horizontal surfaces (hood, roof, deck lid, pick
up box, etc.) after the vehicle has been properly cleaned. There are two types of repair materials
recommended to repair rail dust or iron dust:
1. GEL TYPE OXALIC ACID:
- Has the characteristics of the liquid type oxalic acid but stays where you put it because of its gel
consistency.
2. CLAY TYPE NON-ACID BASED:
- Requires surface lubricant during use. - Has different grades available.
Caution
Rail dust remover (Oxalic Acid) is an acidic substance containing chemicals that will break down
the iron particles embedded in the finish. When working with rail dust remover, use the necessary
safety equipment, including gloves and goggles. Follow the chemical manufacturer's directions
closely because it may require special handling and disposal.
If, upon inspection, some particles are still present, the various chemical manufacturer's processes
can be repeated.
After the removal process, small pits may remain in the clearcoat and can be corrected, in most
cases, with a finesse/polish operation.
Procedure
1. Move the vehicle to a cool shaded area and make sure that the vehicle surfaces are cool during
the removal process. DO NOT PERFORM THE
REMOVAL PROCESS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR ON A VEHICLE WITH HOT OR WARM BODY
PANELS.
2. Wash the vehicle with soap and water. Dry it immediately and clean the affected areas with a
wax and grease remover. 3. Perform the removal process according to the chemical
manufacturer's directions.
Once the damage has been repaired, the final step involves a polishing process.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 99-08-51-007E
Date: March 17, 2011
Subject: Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add additional model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-08-51-007D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
This bulletin updates General Motor's position on refinishing aluminum wheels. GM does not
endorse any repairs that involve welding, bending, straightening or re-machining. Only cosmetic
refinishing of the wheel's coatings, using recommended procedures, is allowed.
Evaluating Damage
In evaluating damage, it is the GM Dealer's responsibility to inspect the wheel for corrosion,
scrapes, gouges, etc. The Dealer must insure that such damage is not deeper than what can be
sanded or polished off. The wheel must be inspected for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the
wheel. Any wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished. Wheels that have been
refinished by an outside company must be returned to the same vehicle. The Dealer must record
the wheel ID stamp or the cast date on the wheel in order to assure this requirement. Refer to
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later in this bulletin.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Recommendations
- Chrome-plated aluminum wheels Re-plating these wheels is not recommended.
- Polished aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them. If the
clearcoat is damaged, refinishing is possible. However, the required refinishing process cannot be
performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later
in this bulletin.
- Painted aluminum wheels These wheels are painted using a primer, color coat, and clearcoat
procedure. If the paint is damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original
coatings must be removed first. Media blasting is recommended. Refer to GM Aluminum
Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for the re-painting of this type of wheel.
- Bright, machined aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them.
In some cases, the recessed "pocket" areas of the wheel may be painted. Surface refinishing is
possible. The wheel must be totally stripped by media blasting or other suitable means. The wheel
should be resurfaced by using a sanding process rather than a machining process. This allows the
least amount of material to be removed.
Important Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the
dimensions and function of the wheel.
Painting is an option to re-clearcoating polished and bright machined aluminum wheels. Paint will
better mask any surface imperfections and is somewhat more durable than clearcoat alone. GM
recommends using Corsican SILVER WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look or Sparkle
SILVER WA9967 for a very bright look. As an option, the body color may also be used. When using
any of the painting options, it is recommended that all four wheels be refinished in order to maintain
color uniformity. Refer to GM Aluminum Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for specific procedures
and product recommendations.
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company
Important Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. Such refinished wheels
will be permanently marked by the refinisher and are warranted by the refinisher. Any process that
re-machines or otherwise re-manufactures the wheel should not be used.
A refinisher's responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the equivalent.
Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any kind is
allowed. The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process in order to
assure that the same wheel is returned. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the
wheel. Hand and/or lathe sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed.
Material removal, though, must be kept to a minimum. Re-machining of the wheel is not allowed.
Paint and/or clear coat must not be present on the following surfaces: the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel
and warrant the painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the
new vehicle warranty, whichever is

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Fuel System Diagnosis (w/FPCM)
Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform theDiagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* ReviewStrategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter and
the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow
than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump
located on the bottom of the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel
pump module reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the
correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow
check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed
pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking times.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 07-08-48-004 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Some dealers/customers may notice
that the outside temperature and compass are not displayed in the inside rearview mirror. The
mirrors are usually turned on when the vehicles leave the assembly plant, but there may be
situations when the mirrors may be turned off by the transport company, dealer personnel and/or
the customer.
If you experience a vehicle that has an inoperative compass and temperature display, make sure
that the function is turned on in the mirror. Briefly press the on/off button on the left side of the
mirror (RPO DF5) to turn the display on.
The green LED that is on the left side of the mirror is for the automatic dimming function. There has
been some confusion in which a customer sees the green LED and thinks that this automatically
means the compass and the temperature display should be illuminated. So the customer may not
try to turn the function on.
If the vehicle is equipped with the Intellibeam(R) (RPO TQ5) mirror, press and hold the auto
headlamp button on the left side of the mirror for 3-5 seconds.
The Warranty Parts Center (WPC) has found that several of the mirrors were returned with the
function turned off and there were no problems found with the mirror.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .

Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Cruise Control: Description and Operation
Cruise Control Description and Operation
Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal
driving conditions at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). Steep grades may cause variations in the
selected vehicle speeds.
The following are the main components of the Cruise Control System:
* The accelerator pedal
* The stop lamp switch
* The body control module (BCM)
* The cruise control switches
* The engine control module (ECM)
* The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor
* The vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
Cruise Control Engaged
The Cruise Control System will engage and adjust vehicle speeds, based on the activation of the
following cruise control switches, which are located on the steering wheel:
* The on/off switch
* The + RES switch
* The - SET switch
The body control module (BCM) monitors the signal circuit of the cruise control switches. The BCM
relays the cruise control switch status to the engine control module (ECM) via the GMLAN serial
data circuit. The ECM uses the status of the cruise control switch to determine when to capture and
maintain the vehicle speed. The ECM monitors the vehicle speed signal circuit in order to
determine the desired vehicle speed. The ECM uses the throttle actuator control (TAC) motor in
order to maintain the vehicle speed. For further information on the TAC System, refer toThrottle
Actuator Control (TAC) System Description (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Description and Operation/Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description) for the
4.3L engine orThrottle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Description and Operation/Throttle Actuator Control
(TAC) System Description) for the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.2L or 7.0L engines.
Voltage is supplied to the cruise control switch via the steering wheel control switch reference
voltage circuit supplied by the BCM. The cruise control function switches are arranged in a resistive
ladder design, with each cruise control function switch having a different resistance value. The
BCM detects a specific voltage value that is associated with the cruise control function switch being
activated. When the normally open cruise control on/off switch is turned ON, the switch closes and
the BCM supplies a ground to the cruise control switch ON indicator circuit as it becomes
illuminated. The BCM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the ECM indicating that the on/off
switch is active. Similarly, when the normally open + RES switch or the normally open - SET switch
are pressed, the switch closes and the BCM detects the predetermined voltage signal on the cruise
control set/coast and resume/accel switch signal circuit. The BCM sends a GMLAN serial data
message to the ECM indicating that the + RES switch or the - SET switch is active. To engage the
Cruise Control System, ensure that the vehicle speed is above 40.2 km/h (25 mph), turn the cruise
On/Off switch ON and momentarily press the - SET switch. The ECM will engage the Cruise
Control System and record the vehicle speed. The ECM sends a GMLAN serial data message to
the driver information center (DIC) in order to illuminate the CRUISE SET TO ### message. The
ECM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) in order to
illuminate the Cruise Engaged indicator in the IPC. The - SET switch and the + RES switch will
remain inactive when the BCM has not received the predetermined voltage signal from the on/off
switch. Pressing the accelerator pedal, while the Cruise Control System is engaged, will allow the
driver to override the Cruise Control System in order to accelerate the vehicle beyond the current
set vehicle speed. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will decelerate and resume
the current set vehicle speed. The driver can also override the current set vehicle speed via the SET switch and the + RES switch. When the Cruise Control System is engaged, pressing and
holding the - SET switch will allow the vehicle to decelerate from the current set vehicle speed
without deactivating the Cruise Control System. When the - SET switch is released, the ECM will
record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed. When the
Cruise Control System is engaged, momentarily pressing the - SET switch will allow the vehicle to
decelerate at 1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments for each time that the - SET is momentarily pressed,
with a minimum vehicle speed of 37 km/h (23 mph). Pressing and holding the + RES switch, when
the Cruise Control System is engaged, will allow the vehicle to accelerate to a greater vehicle
speed than the current set vehicle speed. When the + RES switch is released, the ECM will record
the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed. When the Cruise
Control System is engaged, momentarily pressing the + RES switch will allow the vehicle to
accelerate at 1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments for each time that the + RES switch is momentarily
pressed, with the maximum acceleration total of 16 km/h (10 mph) over the current set vehicle
speed. Momentarily activating the + RES switch will recall the previous vehicle speed, after the
cruise control system is disengaged by pressing the brake pedal or by activating the CANCEL
switch.
Cruise Control Disengaged
The engine control module (ECM) disengages the cruise control operation based on the signals
from the following switches:
* The stop lamp switch

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years, update the Parts Information and add
a Caution. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-08-64-032 (Section 08 - Body and
Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).
Caution
Exceeding the recommended screw torque of 6 Nm (53 lb in) could result in the thread insert
pulling out of the handle base, as shown in the graphic above.
Replace the affected chrome outside door handle. Refer to Front Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement, Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement, or Rear Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement (Crew Cab) in SI.

Warning
To prevent personal injury, avoid breathing A/C Refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Work in a
well ventilated area. To remove refrigerant from the A/C System, use service equipment designed
for recovery that is certified to meet the requirements of the appropriate SAE Standards. If an
accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional
health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant, refrigerant recovery, and
lubricant manufacturers.
Warning
For personal protection, goggles and lint-free gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped
around fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant
system. If refrigerant comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury
can result. The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical
help should be obtained.
Caution: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other
refrigerant may result in poor system performance or component failure.
Caution: To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C
system.
Caution: Use only polyolester refrigerant oil (POE) for internal circulation through the R1344a A/C
system and only use 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and O-rings. If lubricants other than
those specified are used compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.
Caution: R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of
amounts, as they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure
is likely to occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment before
servicing.
The J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The ACR 2000 recovers,

into and charged out of an internal storage vessel. The ACR 2000 automatically replenishes this
vessel from an external source tank in order to maintain a constant 5.45-6.82 kg (12-15 lbs) of A/C
refrigerant.
The ACR 2000 has a built in A/C refrigerant identifier that will test for contamination, prior to
recovery and will notify the technician if there are foreign gases present in the A/C system. If
foreign gases are present, the ACR 2000 will not recover the refrigerant from the A/C system.
The ACR 2000 also features automatic air purge, single pass recycling and an automatic oil drain.
Refer to the J 43600 ACR 2000 manual for operation and setup instruction. Always recharge the
A/C System with the proper amount of R-134a. Refer to Refrigerant System Capacities (Non-HP2)
for the correct amount.
A/C Refrigerant System Oil Charge Replenishing
If POE oil was removed from the A/C system during the recovery process or due to component
replacement, the oil must be replenished. POE Oil can be injected into a charged system usingHP2
A/C Oil Injector .For the proper quantities of oil to add to the A/C refrigerant system, refer to
Refrigerant System Capacities (Non-HP2).

Dye Transfer: Dye transfer will happen any time a natural fiber like cotton, silk, wool, or suede
comes into contact with leather. The lighter the leather color, the more quickly the dye transfer will
appear. Leather should be cleaned on a regular basis so that the dirt and grime do not adversely
affect the top coat of the leather. After cleaning the leather, it is important to treat the surface with
the restorer.
Extractor Machine and Concentrate
For difficult to clean materials or when cleaning a large area, the best results will be achieved when
using an extractor machine and concentrate. General Motors offers the Ruby Extractor (P/N
627-CC-3000AU) through GM Tools and Equipment 1-800-GM-TOOLS, and has recently released
a concentrate for use with the extractor machine.
Whichever extractor machine is used, it should meet the minimum specifications of the Ruby
Extractor:
Ruby Extractor Specifications:
- Pump PSI: 55
- Water Lift: 85"
- Hose Length: 10 ft
Important The Ruby Extractor also comes with a 6 year Outer Body and 3 year Parts warranty.
Extractor: The Ruby Extractor machine was designed for automotive use and works effectively in
the vehicle's interior. The narrow design of the vacuum head allows detail work in tight areas. The
water pressure pump is reduced so the fabric surface is not wet more than is necessary. The dry
time is greatly reduced due to less water on the fabric surface, the vacuum head making better
contact with the surface and the significant water lift capability of the machine.
Concentrate: The concentrated extraction cleaner is engineered with lower pH levels to help
remove alkaline buildup on fabrics. The concentrate should be mixed according to the instructions
listed on the container. The available concentrate helps to break the stain down and then the stain
is easily removed with less water. The concentrate used in the Ruby Extractor is slightly acidic to
remove soap and alkalinity from the fabric surfaces left behind by using improper, soapy solutions.
Dirt, grease and grime are more easily removed when the proper solution is used during the
extraction process.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,
Equinox, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse 2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon 2009
Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Bulletin No.: 09-06-04-026B
Date: April 07, 2010
Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009
HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 Equipped with V8 Gas Powered Engines Only
Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
Note
When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have been
some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is the
J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to use
the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper diagnosis.
Note
The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical center is
J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

13. Use the tire changer in order to install the tire to the wheel.
Caution:
To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when
the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any
tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, lubricate
the beads and reinflate. Overinflating may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal
injury.
Important:
Allowable bead seating pressure is 345 kPa (50 psi) on Extended Mobility Tires.
14. Inflate the tire until it passes the bead humps. Be sure that the valve core is not installed at this
time.
15. Install the valve core to the valve core stem.
16. Inflate the tire to the proper air pressure.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009‐2011 model years and update the Warranty
Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 99-09-40-005E (Section 09 Restraints).
Important:
DO NOT use belt extenders when securing a child restraint.
The seat and shoulder belt restraint systems used in all General Motors vehicles have sufficient
belt length to accommodate most drivers and passengers. Consequently, requests for belt
extensions (extenders) should be minimal.
Seat belt extenders are available ONLY IN BLACK for most GM passenger cars and trucks
produced in recent years. They are available in two different lengths, 23 cm (9 in) and 38 cm (15
in). They are designed to be coupled with the existing belts in each vehicle. When in use, the
extender makes the belt arrangement a "custom fit" and use by anyone else or in another vehicle
will lessen or nullify the protection offered by the vehicle's restraint system. For this reason, it is
extremely important that the correct length extender be used for the vehicle and occupant intended.
Important:
Do not use an extender just to make it easier to buckle the safety belt. Use an extender only when
you cannot buckle the safety belt without using an extender.
Parts Information
For part numbers, usage and availability of extenders, see Extension Kit in Group 14.875 (cars) or
Group 16.714 (trucks) of the appropriate parts catalog. Saturn retailers should refer to the
appropriate model year Parts & Illustration catalog for the vehicle. U.S. Saab dealers should contact
the Parts Help line. Canadian Saab dealers should fax requests to Partech Canada.
Warranty Information
^ Seat belt extenders are a NO CHARGE item to all GM customers who request them for their
specific vehicles.
^ Dealers should not be charging part costs since these extenders are supplied by GM to the
dealers.
^ Dealers should not be charging labor costs since the extender can be customer installed.

Models:
2006-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Installation Procedure
Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Correction
Important DO NOT replace the control module, wiring or component for the following conditions:
- The condition is intermittent and cannot be duplicated.
- The condition is present and by disconnecting and reconnecting the connector the condition can
no longer be duplicated.
Use the following procedure to correct the conditions listed above.
1. Install a scan tool and perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle. Retrieve and record any
existing history or current DTCs from all of the
control modules (refer to SI).
‹› If any DTC(s) are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle to identify the
connector(s) of the control module/component
which may be causing the condition (refer to SI).
‹› If DTCs are not set, refer to Symptoms - Vehicle to identify the connector(s) of the control
module/component which may be causing the
condition (refer to SI).
2. When identified, use the appropriate DTC Diagnostics, Symptoms, Schematics, Component
Connector End Views and Component Locator
documents to locate and disconnect the affected harness connector(s) which are causing the
condition.
Note Fretting corrosion looks like little dark smudges on electrical terminals and appear where the
actual electrical contact is being made. In less severe cases it may be unable to be seen or
identified without the use of a magnifying glass.
Important DO NOT apply an excessive amount of dielectric lubricant to the connectors as shown,
as hydrolock may result when attempting to mate the connectors. Use ONLY a clean nylon brush
that is dedicated to the repair of the conditions in this bulletin.
3. With a one-inch nylon bristle brush, apply dielectric lubricant to both the module/component side
and the harness side of the affected connector(s).
4. Reconnect the affected connector(s) and wipe away any excess lubricant that may be present.
5. Attempt to duplicate the condition by using the following information:
- DTC Diagnostic Procedure
- Circuit/System Description
- Conditions for Running the DTC
- Conditions for Setting the DTC
- Diagnostic Aids
- Circuit/System Verification
‹› If the condition cannot be duplicated, the repair is complete. ‹› If the condition can be duplicated,
then follow the appropriate DTC, Symptom or Circuit/System Testing procedure (refer to SI).

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

Subject: Safety Belt Locking Conditions (Normal Operating Characteristic)
Models:
2005-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2005-2010 HUMMER

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 05-09-40-002D (Section 09 - Restraints).
The purpose of this bulletin is to explain when the safety belts are supposed to lock. There are
several different locking situations for both front and rear safety belts.
Overspool Lock
There is an unintentional locking condition that ALL safety belts from ALL manufacturers may
experience called "overspool lock". If the webbing snaps back to the stowed position rapidly
enough, the retractor will lock with the belt fully stowed. This is more likely to occur when
customers "help" the belt to retract. Without the weight of the latch plate and friction to slow the
retractive speed of the webbing, the higher than normal webbing retraction speed that occurs
engages the locking mechanism when a sudden stop occurs at the end of web travel. Since the
webbing is now fully loaded on the spool, the retractor cannot rewind itself further to release the
locking mechanism. When this happens, the occupant cannot extract the belt to wear it. DO NOT
replace the retractor for this condition until first attempting to disengage the locking mechanism by
following the recommendation listed below.
Recommendation
Pull hard on the locked webbing and then release. The hard pull extracts a small amount of
webbing from the retractor which, in turn, permits a small amount of retraction to occur when
released. This is all that is needed to disengage the locking mechanism. The safety belt will now
function properly.
Vehicle Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the vehicle under the following conditions:
- The vehicle changes speed or direction abruptly (the vehicle goes into rapid acceleration OR
rapid deceleration or there is aggressive cornering).
- It can also occur in a static condition when a vehicle is parked on a large slant (fore-aft or
side-to-side), such as streets in San Francisco, California.
- It may also occur over rough road conditions where the retractor mechanism is bounced into a
locked condition.
In all of these conditions, as long as tension is maintained on the webbing, the belt will stay locked.
When the tension is released, the belt retracts slightly, the lock bar disengages and the safety belt
should return to normal function. Please inform customers that may comment that "the belt locks
intermittently" that this is the design intent and the belt is functioning properly.
Web Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the extraction of webbing. When the webbing reels out at
an accelerated rate, it goes into lock mode and stays there until tension is again released. To
observe this condition, extract the webbing quickly. Customers may refer to this condition as
"intermittent lock-up" and encounter it when trying to put the belt on too quickly.
Automatic Locking (ALR)
When the webbing is pulled all the way out, it automatically converts the retractor into a cinch-down
mode (i.e. ALR). This is typically used to tightly secure a child seat to the vehicle. Some customers
may experience inadvertent activation of ALR mode if they happen to pull the belt all the way out to
the end of travel while they are putting the belt on. The ALR mode of operation is automatically
cancelled when the belt is unfastened and stowed (the belt returns to normal sensitive function).
Corvette only - This locking mechanism is also provided at the driver's position of the Corvette only,
as a unique feature. Corvette customers may find this feature appealing when they plan to operate
the vehicle in a "spirited" manner (such as driving in mountainous terrain). With the ALR active, the
operator is snugly cinched into the seat and kept firmly in place during high G-force driving
maneuvers.

Fuel System Diagnosis (W/FPCM)
Fuel System Diagnosis (w/FPCM)
Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform theDiagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* ReviewStrategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter and
the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow
than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump
located on the bottom of the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel
pump module reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the
correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow
check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed
pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking times.

THIS PROGRAM IS IN EFFECT UNTIL APRIL 30, 2011.
Condition
Certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may have a condition in which
the vehicle's OnStar(R) system repeatedly makes incomplete calls to OnStar(R) without the
vehicle's occupant(s) input or knowledge. Customer initiated Blue Button call, Emergency calls,
and Automatic Crash Notification calls will also fail to establish a data connection with the
OnStar(R) Call Center. Eventually, the customer's call will connect as a voice only line and the
customer will be able to talk with an OnStar(R) advisor; however, the advisor will not get crucial
customer data such as vehicle identification and location.
Correction
Dealers/retailers are to replace the OnStar(R) module (VCIM).
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R), and built within
these VIN breakpoints:
Note:
Some model years/models have only one vehicle involved.
Important Dealers/retailers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using
GMVIS (dealers/retailers using WINS) or the Investigate Vehicle History link (dealers/retailers using
GWM). Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.
For dealers/retailers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete
vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will
be provided to dealers/retailers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers/retailers
will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration
Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up
necessary to complete this program is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

wheel. If the tire machines bead breaking fixture is positioned too close to the tire pressure sensor,
as the tire bead breaks away from the wheel it may be forced into, or catch on the edge of the tire
pressure sensor. This can damage the sensor and require the sensor to be replaced.
Care must also be taken when transferring the tire bead to the other side of the wheel rim. As the
tire machine rotates and the tire bead is stretched around the wheel rim, the bead can come in
contact with the sensor if it is not correctly positioned in relation to the mounting/dismounting head
prior to tire mounting/dismounting. This can also cause sensor damage requiring replacement.
Procedure
Notice:
Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone in
order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could result.
Notice:
Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment.
Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to
peel from the wheel.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem.
2. Deflate the tire completely.
Important:
Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and 270
degrees from the valve stem.

Bulletin Number 07-08-49-014 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment that a "Park Assist Off" message is appearing on the Driver
Information center (DIC) at times.
There are several factors listed above that can cause this message to appear. A Tech 2 can be
used to access the latest entry into the Park Assist Module history buffer to help determine a
cause.
Engineering has received multiple inhibited Rear park Assist Modules through warranty parts return
with attached object stored in the latest history buffer. If a vehicle has a trailer hitch installed into
the trailer hitch receiver, it is possible for the rear park assist to be disabled. Once the trailer hitch is
removed, the message should go away. Other possible causes may be dirty sensors. Keep the
rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
Important:
Please note that any object that is installed in the receiver hitch, extending from the rear of the
vehicle, or blocking the sensors can disable the Parking Assist, resulting in the message "Park
Assist Off". Please remove the object or obstruction from the vehicle to re-enable the system. This
is normal operation of the system.

Wheels/Tires - Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
Wheels: All Technical Service Bulletins Wheels/Tires - Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 99-08-51-007E
Date: March 17, 2011
Subject: Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add additional model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-08-51-007D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
This bulletin updates General Motor's position on refinishing aluminum wheels. GM does not
endorse any repairs that involve welding, bending, straightening or re-machining. Only cosmetic
refinishing of the wheel's coatings, using recommended procedures, is allowed.
Evaluating Damage
In evaluating damage, it is the GM Dealer's responsibility to inspect the wheel for corrosion,
scrapes, gouges, etc. The Dealer must insure that such damage is not deeper than what can be
sanded or polished off. The wheel must be inspected for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the
wheel. Any wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished. Wheels that have been
refinished by an outside company must be returned to the same vehicle. The Dealer must record
the wheel ID stamp or the cast date on the wheel in order to assure this requirement. Refer to
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later in this bulletin.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Recommendations
- Chrome-plated aluminum wheels Re-plating these wheels is not recommended.
- Polished aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them. If the
clearcoat is damaged, refinishing is possible. However, the required refinishing process cannot be
performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later
in this bulletin.
- Painted aluminum wheels These wheels are painted using a primer, color coat, and clearcoat
procedure. If the paint is damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original
coatings must be removed first. Media blasting is recommended. Refer to GM Aluminum
Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for the re-painting of this type of wheel.
- Bright, machined aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them.
In some cases, the recessed "pocket" areas of the wheel may be painted. Surface refinishing is
possible. The wheel must be totally stripped by media blasting or other suitable means. The wheel
should be resurfaced by using a sanding process rather than a machining process. This allows the
least amount of material to be removed.
Important Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the
dimensions and function of the wheel.
Painting is an option to re-clearcoating polished and bright machined aluminum wheels. Paint will
better mask any surface imperfections and is somewhat more durable than clearcoat alone. GM
recommends using Corsican SILVER WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look or Sparkle
SILVER WA9967 for a very bright look. As an option, the body color may also be used. When using
any of the painting options, it is recommended that all four wheels be refinished in order to maintain
color uniformity. Refer to GM Aluminum Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for specific procedures
and product recommendations.
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company
Important Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. Such refinished wheels
will be permanently marked by the refinisher and are warranted by the refinisher. Any process that
re-machines or otherwise re-manufactures the wheel should not be used.
A refinisher's responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the equivalent.
Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any kind is
allowed. The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process in order to
assure that the same wheel is returned. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the
wheel. Hand and/or lathe sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed.
Material removal, though, must be kept to a minimum. Re-machining of the wheel is not allowed.
Paint and/or clear coat must not be present on the following surfaces: the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel
and warrant the painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the
new vehicle warranty, whichever is

Checking Aftermarket Accessories
Checking Aftermarket Accessories Warning: Refer to SIR Warning (See: Restraint
Systems/Service Precautions/SIR Warning) .
Caution: The OBD II symbol is used on the circuit diagrams in order to alert the technician that the
circuit is essential for proper OBD II emission control circuit operation. Any circuit which fails and
causes the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to turn ON, or causes emissions-related component
damage, is identified as an OBD II circuit.
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
* SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
* OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol.
Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical
problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on
accessories are not the cause of the problems.
Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include:
* Power feeds connected to points other than the battery
* Antenna location
* Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring
* Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line
* Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Wheel Alignment Equipment and Process
Wheel alignments must be performed with a quality machine that will give accurate results when
performing checks. "External Reference" (image-based camera technology) is preferred. Please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-00-89-029B: General Motors Dealership Critical Equipment
Requirements and Recommendations.
Requirements:
- Computerized four wheel alignment system.
- Computer capable of printing before and after alignment reports.
- Computer capable of time and date stamp printout.
- Racking system must have jacking capability
- Racking system must be capable of level to 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
- Appropriate wheel stops and safety certification
- Built-in turn plates and slip plates
- Wheel clamps capable of attaching to 20" or larger wheels
- Racking capable of accepting any GM passenger car or light duty truck
- Operator properly trained and ASE-certified (U.S. only) in wheel alignment
Recommendations:
Racking should have front and rear jacking capability.
Equipment Maintenance and Calibration:
Alignment machines must be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information. Most
manufacturers recommend the following:
- Alignment machines with "internal reference" sensors should be checked (and calibrated, if
necessary) every six months.
- Alignment machines with "external reference" (image-based camera technology) should be
checked (and calibrated, if necessary) once a year.
- Racks must be kept level to within 1.6 mm (1/16 in).
- If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged in some way,
check the calibration immediately.
Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration
schedule.
Wheel Alignment Process
When performing wheel alignment measurement and/or adjustment, the following steps should be
taken:
Preliminary Steps:
1. Verify that the vehicle has a full tank of fuel (compensate as necessary). 2. Inspect the wheels
and the tires for damage. 3. Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. 4.
Inspect the wheel bearings for excessive play. 5. Inspect all suspension and steering parts for
looseness, wear, or damage. 6. Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to
stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. 7. Inspect the vehicle trim height. 8. Compensate
for frame angle on targeted vehicles (refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI).
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment angles. However, if the
wheel alignment angles are not within the range of specifications, adjust the wheel alignment to the
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI. Give consideration to excess loads,
such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. Follow the wheel alignment equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
Measure/Adjust:
Important Prior to making any adjustments to wheel alignment on a vehicle, technicians must verify
that the wheel alignment specifications loaded into their wheel alignment machine are up-to-date
by comparing these to the wheel alignment specifications for the appropriate model and model year
in SI. Using incorrect and/or outdated specifications may result in unnecessary adjustments,
irregular and/or premature tire wear and repeat customer concerns
Page 4864
8. Take a CLEAR digital picture of the Tech 2(R) Vehicle Information screen showing the engine
Calibration IDs and Verification Numbers as
shown above. Retain the printout information and the Tech 2(R) screen photograph with the repair
order.
9. E-mail a copy of the picture to
[email protected]. In the subject line of the e-mail include the
phrase "V8 Cal" as well as the complete VIN
and Dealer BAC. In the body of the e-mail, include the VIN, mileage, R.O. number and BAC.
Include a brief description of the customer concern and cause of the concern.
Note The dealer will receive an e-mail reply after the calibrations have been validated. The e-mail
reply will advise the dealer if the calibrations are OEM.
10. Allow two hours for the PQC to verify the calibrations and set up the case details.
‹› If the PQC determines that the calibrations ARE aftermarket calibrations, DO NOT contact GM
Technical Assistance to discuss warranty
concerns on the aftermarket calibrations. ALL questions and concerns about warranty should be
directed to the dealers Fixed Operations Manager (FOM), (Warranty Manager (WM) in Canada).
11. You may call the PQC two hours after submitting the e-mail for authorization to replace the

Drive Motor Control Module: Description and Operation
Drive Motor Generator Control Module Description and Operation
Overview
The drive motor generator power inverter module (PIM) assembly converts high voltage direct
current (DC) electrical energy to 3 phase alternating current (AC) electrical energy. The accessory
DC power control module (APM) converts high voltage DC electric energy into low voltage (14V)
and intermediate voltage (42V) in order to charge the vehicles accessory battery and supply
electric energy to the 42V power steering system. The APM and PIM are fastened together and are
referred to as the drive motor generator control module assembly. The drive motor generator
control module assembly is cooled with pre-mixed Dexcool(R) circulating through a cooling system
that is separate from the engine cooling system. The hybrid cooling system utilizes a heat
exchanger at the front of the vehicle and electric pumps to circulate the coolant. The engine control
module (ECM) monitors a temperature sensor in the hybrid cooling system and operates the
radiator fan and the hybrid coolant pumps in response to system temperature.
High Voltage Circuits
Direct Current (DC)
The drive motor generator control module assembly is connected to each pole of the high voltage
(HV), direct current (DC) drive motor generator battery. Both of the negative and positive HV DC
battery poles are isolated from the vehicle chassis by a specific amount of resistance. Each HV DC
cable is switched ON or OFF by a high voltage, high current contactor relay contained within the
drive motor generator battery assembly. All HV DC negative and positive DC cables are individually
shielded and orange in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage. The
electric air conditioning compressor high voltage DC cables are externally connected at the drive
motor generator control module assembly. The APM and PIM share an internal connection that
supplies the APM with high voltage DC current.
Three Phase Alternating Current (AC)
Three cables connect each motor generator to the PIM. Each individually shielded cable is orange
in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage.
Intermediate and Low Voltage Circuits
The APM converts high voltage 300V DC current into both intermediate voltage, 42V, and low
voltage, 12V, current.
Intermediate Voltage 42V Direct Current
Intermediate voltage 42V cables are individually shielded and are blue in color to alert the
technician to the potential presence of intermediate voltage.
Low Voltage (12V) Direct Current
Low voltage (12V) cables on the hybrid-electric vehicle do not require unique coloring or servicing
procedures.
Drive Motor Generator Power Inverter Module (PIM) Assembly
Overview
Contained within the PIM assembly are the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM), and two
motor control modules (MCM). Each MCM controls its respective motor generator. All three
modules are flash-programmable micro-processors.
Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM)
Location
The HPCM is a non-serviceable, flash-programmable micro-processor contained within the PIM
assembly.
Operating Functions
The HPCM is the main controller of hybrid operation. The HPCM determines when to perform
hybrid operation modes such as engine Auto-stop and regenerative braking. The HPCM also
operates in conjunction with the battery energy control module (BECM) to determine when to
enable and disable the DC high voltage circuits. Each MCM operates the applicable electric motor
generator based upon HPCM commands.
Communication and Hosted Diagnostics
The HPCM is the host controller for diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information for the following
control modules:

What is TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is a new class of gasoline with enhanced detergency. It meets new,
voluntary deposit control standards developed by six automotive companies that exceed the
detergent requirements imposed by the EPA.
Where Can TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Be Purchased?
The TOP TIER program began on May 3, 2004 and many fuel marketers have joined the program
and have introduced TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline. This is a voluntary program and not all fuel
marketers will offer this product. Once fuel marketers make public announcements, they will appear
on a list of brands that meet the TOP TIER standards.
Where Can I find the Latest Information on TOP TIER Fuel and Retailers?
On the web, please visit www.toptiergas.com for additional information and updated retailer lists.
Who developed TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards were developed by six automotive companies: Audi,
BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota and Volkswagen.
Why was TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline developed?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline was developed to increase the level of detergent additive in
gasoline. The EPA requires that all gasoline sold in the U.S. contain a detergent additive. However,
the requirement is minimal and in many cases, is not sufficient to keep engines clean. In order to
meet TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards, a higher level of detergent is needed than what is
required by the EPA. Also, TOP TIER was developed to give fuel marketers the opportunity to
differentiate their product.
Why did the six automotive companies join together to develop TOP TIER?
All six corporations recognized the benefits to both the vehicle and the consumer. Also, joining
together emphasized that low detergency is an issue of concern to several automotive companies.
What are the benefits of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline containing the "Lowest
Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Clean engines help provide optimal fuel economy and
performance and reduced emissions. Also, use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help reduce
deposit related concerns.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.
Warning
To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot.
The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam

Bulletin No.: 08-06-03-007
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: No Start, No Crank, Intermittent Electrical Operations (Check For Poor Connections Within
Engine Wiring Harness Junction Block)
Models: 2007-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2009 Chevrolet
Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2007-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali,
Yukon Denali XL
Condition
Some customers may comment on a no start, or no crank, or intermittent electrical operations.
Cause
This may be caused by probing fuse or relay connectors with incorrect J-Tools, which causes
splayed terminals and poor electrical connections. Customers may also have installed wires
adjacent to the fuse connector blades in order to create an electrical circuit, which also creates a
potential loose connection at the fuse. Other potential causes are probing by independent repair
shops during installation of aftermarket accessories like remote start systems.
Correction
If the terminals are damaged beyond repair, the engine wiring harness junction block will have to
be replaced.
Be sure to use the correct J-Tool (J-356616-35), which is designed to prevent splaying of the
terminals and loose connections.
Important:
DO NOT use any other device (incorrect J- Tool, multi-meter probe) to test fuse/relay terminals.
The figure shown shows splayed fuse terminals due to probing with a round instrument, which
caused a poor electrical connection between fuse blade and terminal (note lack of witness mark on
fuse blade).
The figure above shows a wire jammed into fuse slot (potential electrical tap by customer).
Warranty Information
This repair will not be covered under warranty due to damage/failure caused by inappropriate
probing or customer abuse.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2012 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 10-05-23-00A (Section 05 - Brakes).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a pulsation or vibration mostly concentrated in the steering
wheel during downhill descent as specifically described. This condition will most often begin as an
increasing rumbling noise coming from the underbody or the front of the vehicle. This condition is
exhibited mostly in mountainous regions.
Note
Use care to ensure the following diagnosis and repair are only attempted if the conditions and
concern match those listed, and if the concern can be duplicated under the same conditions.
This condition occurs ONLY under the following conditions:
- When the vehicle is driven as follows:
- On a downhill descent on a fairly steep grade (approximately 5% or greater).
- On taller hills (roughly 1.5‹›km [1‹›mi] road length or greater), without sharp turns.
- At speeds above 64‹›km/h (40‹›mph).
- Using the brakes just enough to maintain the speed limit when moving downhill.
- Typically, a rumbling noise will be heard first, building in intensity, followed by increasing
pulsation, or vibration, felt in the steering wheel, then typically felt in the floor panel.
- The condition will be eliminated once the vehicle is driven on relatively flat ground, typically for
1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi).
Cause
This condition may be caused by interaction between the front brake lining material and the front
brake rotors.
Correction
Important DO NOT attempt any repairs on the vehicle until you verify the specific condition is
present by following the steps below:
1. Warm up the vehicle by driving approximately 8 km (5 mi). 2. Drive the vehicle in the lane closest
to the side of the fairly steep grade (roughly 5 percent or greater), taller hill (roughly 1.5 km [1‹›mi]
road
length or greater), without sharp turns, and with a speed limit of 64 km/h (40 mph) or greater, with
the side windows down.
3. While in Drive, descending downhill, apply the brakes naturally, only as needed, to maintain the
speed limit. 4. Observe for noise, followed by pulsation/vibration. Observe where the noise,
pulsation and/or vibration are most noticeable. 5. Drive the vehicle on relatively flat ground for 1.5-3
km (1-2 mi) to verify that the condition goes away completely.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-46-004
Date: August 14, 2008
Subject: Information on Aftermarket Device Interference with OnStar(R) Diagnostic Services
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to communicate feedback received from engineering
information and add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-64-012B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 00-08-48-005D
Date: September 10, 2010
Subject: Distortion in Outer Surface of Vehicle Glass
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2 2010 and Prior
HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X 2010 and Prior Saturn
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-08-48-005C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Distortion in the outer surface of the windshield glass, door glass or backlite glass may appear after
the vehicle has:
- Accumulated some mileage.
- Been frequently washed in automatic car washes, particularly "touchless" car washes.
This distortion may look like a subtle orange peel pattern, or may look like a drip or sag etched into
the surface of the glass.
Some car wash solutions contain a buffered solution of hydrofluoric acid which is used to clean the
glass. This should not cause a problem if used in the correct concentration. However, if not used
correctly, hydrofluoric acid will attack the glass, and over time, will cause visual distortion in the
outer surface of the glass which cannot be removed by scraping or polishing.
If this condition is suspected, look at the area of the windshield under the wipers or below the belt
seal on the side glass. The area of the glass below the wipers or belt seal will not be affected and
what looks like a drip or sag may be apparent at the edge of the wiper or belt seal. You may also
see a line on the glass where the wiper blade or the belt seal contacts the glass.
Important The repair will require replacing the affected glass and is not a result of a defect in
material or workmanship. Therefore, is not covered by New Vehicle Warranty.

are variable resistors, their resistance changes as the temperature of the seat changes. Then
based on the seat temperature, the CCSM controls the voltage level that it applies to the TEDs and
blower motors.
Diagnostic Aids
The following conditions must be met in order to perform valid tests when diagnosing the climate
control seat system:
* The ignition must be cycled OFF then ON between each test in order to reset the CCSM.
* Most circuit faults will set a DTC within 1.5 minutes. However, some circuit faults may cause a
performance problem in one mode and be inoperative and set a DTC in another mode. In some
cases it may take 5 minutes or more for a DTC to set. Operate the heated/cooled seat in each of
the three modes for 5 minutes or more then check for DTCs.
* The engine must be running in order to supply the CCSM with the amount of current needed to
operate the heated/cool seat system.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
Warning
Do not leave the ignition key in the ON position after the test is performed. Leaving the key in the
ON position may result in an Auto-Start of the engine and possible personal injury.
Note
When performing an engine cylinder compression test for the RPO-LFA engine, note that this
engine has a camshaft position actuator with a late intake valve closing feature and a 29 degree
retard park position. With the actuator parked in a retard position, the effective compression of the
engine is reduced during cranking. Compression values on the gage will be lower than a typical
small block engine that does not have this feature.
1. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. As
required, disable the auto-stop function prior to repair.
Refer to Hybrid Modes of Operation Description (See: Hybrid Drive Systems/Description and
Operation/Hybrid Controls/Hybrid Modes of Operation Description) .
2. Ignition key in the OFF position. 3. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully charged. 4.
Disable the fuel and spark by removing the Fuel Pump relay and Powertrain relay. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views (See:
Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) for the Fuse
Block - Underhood Label.
5. Remove the spark plug wires from the spark plugs. 6. Remove all of the spark plugs.
Warning
Do not leave the ignition key in the ON position after the test is performed. Leaving the key in the
ON position may result in an Auto-Start of the engine and possible personal injury.
7. Install a compression gage to the cylinder to be tested. 8. Start with the compression gage at
zero and crank the engine 3-5 seconds using the ignition key. 9. Return the ignition key to the OFF
position.
10. Measure the compression for each cylinder. Record the readings. 11. The minimum
compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest cylinder. For
example, if the highest pressure in any
1 cylinder is 862 kPa (125 psi), the lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 607
kPa (88 psi). (862 kPa x 70% = 607 kPa) (125 psi x 70% = 88 psi).
* Normal - Compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression for each
cylinder.
* Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression builds up with the
following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when you add
oil.
* Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up
on the following strokes. Compression does not improve much when you add oil.
* If 2 adjacent cylinders have lower than normal compression, and injecting oil into the cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause may be a head gasket leaking between the
cylinders.
12. If a cylinder has low compression, inject approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into
the combustion chamber through the spark plug
hole. Measure the compression again and record the reading.
13. Reinstall the Fuel Pump relay and Powertrain relay. 14. Using the scan tool, clear all diagnostic
codes.

3. Prepare the surface of the used defroster tab (not required for new tabs on new-style full-size
utility models) and the defroster buss bar with fine
grain (500 grit) sandpaper or Emery cloth. It is not necessary to remove all of the original solder,
but it should be scuffed sufficiently so that no oxidation is present. The photo above shows a close
up of a properly prepared surface.
Tip You may want to mask the glass around the contact area with tape. This is easy to do and will
allow you to safely prepare the contact surface without the risk of scratching the glass or the black
painted shading.
Important Most rear glass has a black painted masking around the edge of the glass. When
cleaning up the connection surface, be very careful not to damage the surface of the black shading
or the surface of the glass.
4. Wipe the newly prepared contact area with Kent Automotive* Acrysol(TM) (or equivalent) to
remove any residual oil or dirt.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

Attention:
This bulletin contains a procedure to clean/lubricate the rear propshaft slip yoke splines and
replace, if necessary. Check the history on this vehicle. If the lubrication procedure has been
performed previously, then continue on and replace the transfer case rear output shaft.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the warranty statement. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 09-04-21-003C (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a bump feel or clunk noise at a stop or on launch. Customers
may also comment that the bump feel or clunk is noticed after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop and that it feels as if the vehicle was bumped from behind.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the rear propshaft slip yoke and the
transfer case rear output shaft splines. Braking to a complete stop can force the propshaft slip yoke
forward into the transfer case while the vehicle rebounds slightly backward after stopping its
momentum.
Correction
Note
Do not use grease for lubrication of the slip yoke splines on 4WD vehicles. The output shaft in a
4WD transfer case does not have a grease retainer to keep the grease from migrating into the
transfer case and mixing with the fluid inside. Grease is not compatible with the automatic
transmission fluid (ATF) used in the transfer case and can cause damage if mixed.
Note
The clunk noise may also be due to fuel movement in the fuel tank when not completely full. If the
condition is eliminated after filling the fuel tank, the noise is isolated to the fuel movement in the
tank. Please make no repair attempts, as this noise is considered an operating characteristic.
Verify the customer's concern.
Clean/Lubricate Rear PropShaft Slip Yoke Splines
1. Remove the rear drive shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect
the rear propshaft slip yoke splines.
Note Protect the transfer case rear seal from Brake Clean.
3. Clean the rear propshaft slip yoke splines with Brake Clean or equivalent and a shop towel. 4.
Assure that the splines are free of rust or other foreign material. 5. Lubricate the spline with
Automatic Transmission Fluid, P/N 88861003 (in Canada, 19264717). 6. Reinstall the rear drive
shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 7. Road test the vehicle and verify
that the noise is gone. 8. If the vehicle has a repeat concern after lubricating the slip yoke splines,
replace the rear output shaft.

Owner Letter
Owner Letter
Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor
Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain
2006-2009 model year Buick Lucerne; Cadillac DTS; HUMMER H2; 2008-2009 model year Buick
Enclave; Cadillac CTS; 2007-2009 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT;
Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe; GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL; Saturn
OUTLOOK; and 2009 model year Chevrolet Traverse vehicles equipped with a heated washer fluid
system (HWFS). As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize for this inconvenience.
However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.
Important
- Your vehicle is involved in safety recall 10153.
- Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer/retailer.
- This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
A recall was implemented on some vehicles in 2008 to add a fuse to the HWFS control circuit
harness to address the potential consequences of a printed circuit board electrical short. However,
there have been new reports of thermal incidents on HWFS modules after this improvement was
installed. These incidents resulted from a new failure mode attributed to the device's thermal
protection feature. Their significance varies from minor distortion to considerable melting of the
plastic around the HWFS fluid chamber. In some circumstances, it is possible for the heated
washer module to cause a fire.
What will we do?
Your GM dealer/retailer will permanently disable and remove the heated washer fluid system. In
addition, because the heated washer feature will be disabled, the dealer will provide a customer
satisfaction payment of $100 to the customer. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer/retailer will need your
vehicle longer than the actual service correction time of approximately 20 minutes.
An updated page for your Owner Manual will be provided and inserted at the time of service to
document that the feature has been permanently disabled and removed from your vehicle.
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer/retailer may provide you with
shuttle service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the
dealership/facility for this repair. Please refer to your Owner Manual and your dealer/retailer for
details on courtesy transportation.
What should you do?
You should contact your GM dealer/retailer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.
Did you already pay for this repair?
The enclosed form explains what reimbursement is available and how to request reimbursement if
you have paid for repairs for the recall condition. Even though you may have already had this
condition repaired in the past, you will still need to take your vehicle to your dealer/retailer for this
recall.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Caster Description
Alignment: Description and Operation Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when
viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear . Caster is
affected by the vehicle height, therefore it is important to keep the body at its designed height.
Overloading the vehicle or a weak or sagging rear spring will affect caster. When the rear of the
vehicle is lower than its designated trim height, the front suspension moves to a more positive
caster. If the rear of the vehicle is higher than its designated trim height, the front suspension
moves to a less positive caster.
With too little positive caster, steering may be touchy at high speed and wheel returnability may be
diminished when coming out of a turn. If one wheel has more positive caster than the other, that
wheel will pull toward the center of the vehicle. This condition will cause the vehicle to pull or lead
to the side with the least amount of positive caster.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.

Follow these procedures if a customer comments that their GM Accessory 2-way transmitter
stopped communicating with the vehicle.
About GM Accessory 2-Way Remote Start
The GM Accessory 2-way transmitter has the ability to operate a second vehicle equipped with a
2-way advanced remote start system, but often the 2-way transmitter may only be coded to one
vehicle. If the customer presses the left side button twice within one second, the 2-way transmitter
will enter second vehicle mode and will not control the original vehicle until a subsequent double
press of the left side button places the transmitter back in first vehicle mode. Each vehicle mode of
the 2-way transmitter should be thought of as an individual transmitter with its own unique code.
Test the Transmitter Battery
Note
This test should be performed prior to releasing the vehicle or transmitter to the customer.
All transmitter batteries should be tested immediately after installation of a 2-way remote start kit or
replacement of a transmitter battery using the following procedure.
1. Press the unlock button on the transmitter eight times consecutively. 2. After the eighth press of
the unlock button, observe the battery gauge located in the upper right corner of the LCD display.
The gauge should read
full (three bars inside the battery icon).
If after having a new battery installed, the battery goes dead within five months, the transmitter
could have high sleep current, causing the battery to go dead. Replace the transmitter.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition
exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be
performed.
Determine if Transmitter is in Second Vehicle Mode
1. Press and release any of the face buttons on the 2-way transmitter and observe the display on
power-up. 2. If the 2-way transmitter is in second vehicle mode, the second vehicle icon will be
displayed on the left side of the transmitter display. Is the 2-way
transmitter in second vehicle mode?
If Yes, the 2-way transmitter is working properly.
- Press and release the left side button twice within one second. The 2-way transmitter should exit
second vehicle mode.
- Press and release the lock button. Press and release the unlock button.

low reference circuits or to any other ECM/PCM
5V reference or low reference circuits. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories in SI.
2. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle.
‹› If any 5V reference DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. ‹› If any
5V reference DTCs are not set, proceed to Step 3.
3. Locate the IP to body harness connector, which may be located in and around the left hand kick
panel area or inside the IP. Depending on the
vehicle and model year, refer to Wiring Systems or Power and Signal Distribution in SI.
Note Some examples of potential water leaks are: A-pillar seals, sunroof drain lines (if equipped)
and windshield/cowl sealing.
4. Inspect for a water leak in the area. If necessary use a water hose to determine the source of the
leak. Refer to General Information > Water Leaks
in SI.
‹› If a water leak is observed, repair as necessary. Verify the effectiveness of the repair.
5. Inspect the IP to body harness connector terminals for corrosion and debris. Refer to Testing for
Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in
SI.
‹› If any corrosion and/or debris is observed, repair as necessary.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,
Equinox, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse 2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon 2009
Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Tires - Minimizing Damage to TPM Sensors
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-10-007
Date: May 16, 2008
Subject: Minimizing Damage to Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Sensors During Tire
Mounting/Dismounting
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with Wheel Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors
Minimizing Damage To TPM Sensors
All GM vehicles now in production and sold in the U.S., as well as many vehicles sold in Canada,
feature Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems that have valve stem mounted Tire Pressure Sensors.
When dismounting and mounting tires, care must be taken when breaking the bead loose from the
wheel. If the tire machines bead breaking fixture is positioned too close to the tire pressure sensor,
as the tire bead breaks away from the wheel it may be forced into, or catch on the edge of the tire
pressure sensor. This can damage the sensor and require the sensor to be replaced.
Care must also be taken when transferring the tire bead to the other side of the wheel rim. As the
tire machine rotates and the tire bead is stretched around the wheel rim, the bead can come in
contact with the sensor if it is not correctly positioned in relation to the mounting/dismounting head
prior to tire mounting/dismounting. This can also cause sensor damage requiring replacement.
Procedure
Notice:
Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone in
order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could result.
Notice:
Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment.
Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to
peel from the wheel.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem.
2. Deflate the tire completely.
Important:
Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and 270
degrees from the valve stem.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-08-48-005C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Distortion in the outer surface of the windshield glass, door glass or backlite glass may appear after
the vehicle has:
- Accumulated some mileage.
- Been frequently washed in automatic car washes, particularly "touchless" car washes.
This distortion may look like a subtle orange peel pattern, or may look like a drip or sag etched into
the surface of the glass.
Some car wash solutions contain a buffered solution of hydrofluoric acid which is used to clean the
glass. This should not cause a problem if used in the correct concentration. However, if not used
correctly, hydrofluoric acid will attack the glass, and over time, will cause visual distortion in the
outer surface of the glass which cannot be removed by scraping or polishing.
If this condition is suspected, look at the area of the windshield under the wipers or below the belt
seal on the side glass. The area of the glass below the wipers or belt seal will not be affected and
what looks like a drip or sag may be apparent at the edge of the wiper or belt seal. You may also
see a line on the glass where the wiper blade or the belt seal contacts the glass.
Important The repair will require replacing the affected glass and is not a result of a defect in
material or workmanship. Therefore, is not covered by New Vehicle Warranty.

A: Because the Pro-Cut on-car lathe adjusts in a live mode while spinning the hub/rotor, the
dynamics of a floating axle are effectively eliminated. Once the lathe is compensated, there is no
difference in the cutting/surface finish and LRO are just the same as with a non-floating axle.
- Q: Which lathe is essential for performing brake work, the bench or on-car?
A: Dealers must have a well maintained bench lathe and well maintained on-car lathe. These
lathes need to be calibrated on a monthly basis. BOTH lathes are essential to providing quality
brake service.
- Q: What is the expected tip life for an on-car lathe?
A: The geometry and composition of the Pro-Cut tips are designed for "single pass" cutting. When
using the Pro-Cut the cutting depth should be set to take all material needed to get below rust
grooves, eliminate all run-out and resurface the entire disc in a single pass. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381
mm (0.004-0.015 in) will provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. No "skim cut" or
"finish cut" is needed. Failure to follow this procedure will shorten tip life. The Pro-cut tips will last
between 7-12 cuts per corner. With three usable corners, a pair of tips is good for at least 21 cuts.
- Q: Why does GM recommend the use of single pass (referred to as "positive rake") bench and
on-car brake lathes?
A: GM Service and GM Brake Engineering have performed competitive evaluations on a significant
number of bench and on-car brake lathes. These tests measured critical performance
characteristics such as flatness, surface finish and the ability of the lathe to repeat accuracy over
many uses. In each test, single pass lathe designs out performed the competitors. Single pass
brake lathes are more productive requiring less time to perform the same procedure.
- Q: Is it okay to leave the caliper/pads installed while cutting rotors using an on-car lathe?
A: On-car lathes should never be used with the pads and calipers installed on the vehicle. The
debris from cutting the rotors can contaminate the brake pads/calipers which can lead to other
brake concerns and comebacks.
- Q: What information needs to be documented on the Repair Order?
A: Any claim that is submitted using the labor operations in this bulletin, must have the Original
Rotor Thickness and Refinish Rotor Thickness (if refinished) documented on the repair order. For
more information, refer to the "Repair Order Required Documentation" section of this bulletin.
All Warranty Repair Orders paid by GM, are subject to review for compliance and may be debited
where the repair does not comply with this procedure.
Brake Warranty
BRAKE WARRANTY
Brake Rotors:
- Brake rotor warranty is covered under the terms of the GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Reference the vehicle's warranty guide for verification.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced during normal/routine pad replacement.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced and is ineffective in correcting brake squeal type
noises and/or premature lining wear out.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for cosmetic corrosion. Clean up of braking surfaces
can be accomplished by 10-15 moderate stops from 56-64 km/h (35-40 mph) with cooling time
between stops.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for rotor discoloration/hard spots.
- Rotors should be refinished NOT replaced for Customer Pulsation concerns. This condition is a
result of rotor thickness variation, usually caused by LRO (wear induced over time and miles) or
corrosion (Lot Rot).
- When rotor refinishing, only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor
and note that equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake
system using a floating caliper.
- Rotors should be refinished for severe scoring - depth in excess of 1.5 mm (0.060 in).
Important If the scoring depth is more than 1.5 mm (0.060 in) after the rotor is refinished, it should
be replaced.

* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Power and Ground
Distribution/Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Power and Ground Distribution/Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative
products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
00-03-10-002E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important You may give a copy of this bulletin to the
customer.
What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1
Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an
example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from
using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient
to clean wheels.
If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states
that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers
should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these
chemicals.)
- Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome)
- Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid
- Sulfamic Acid
- Phosphoric Acid
- Hydroxyacetic Acid
Notice
Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most
customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal.
Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the
paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car
warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the
calipers.
Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean,
clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts,
lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to
the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the
damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the Air Bag Readiness Light is on. There may also be a
Service Air Bag Message on the Driver Information Center (DIC). Upon further investigation, the
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) may be corroded.
Cause
This condition may be caused by an unseated parking brake cable grommet causing water
intrusion under the carpet or vinyl floor, resulting in wet padding. Power washing the vinyl floor
and/or customer snow boots can introduce water to the padding above the SDM area. As the
padding gets wet, water wicks through the padding towards the SDM over time. Over an extended
period of time of constant exposure to water with potential salt/calcium and other elements, the
SDM surface starts to corrode.
Correction
1. Replace the SDM per SI procedures. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic
Module Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect the SDM connector for corrosion. If corrosion is evident,
repair or replace the connector. Refer to SIR/SRS Wiring Repairs in SI. 3. Verify the parking brake
cable grommet is sealed properly.
Important Cut and remove the padding from around the SDM as instructed whenever the SDM is
serviced even if no corrosion is evident to prevent future moisture and corrosion to the SDM and
connector.
4. Cut and remove padding from the area around and above the SDM. Refer to illustration above.
Make an addition cut to remove all of the padding
above the SDM.

Fuel Composition Diagnosis
System Description
When an E85 compatible vehicle is built, an engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control
module (PCM) replaced, or when the learned alcohol content has been reset with a scan tool, the
fuel system will need to contain ASTM gasoline with 10 percent or less ethanol content. If the fuel
in the fuel system needs to be drained and replaced with ASTM gasoline, the engine will need to
run at operating temperature and consume at least 1 liter (0.3 gallon) of fuel before the system will
recognize the correct alcohol content. Either ASTM gasoline or ASTM E85 fuel can then be used.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

1. Thickness Variation Pulsation is Caused by Lateral Run Out (LRO). LRO on a brake corner
assembly is virtually undetectable unless measured
(with a dial indicator after the brake service) and will not be detected as brake pulsation during an
after brake service test drive. If the brake corner is assembled with excessive LRO (greater than
0.050 mm (0.002 in), thickness variation will develop on the brake rotor over time and miles.
Excessive LRO will cause the brake pads to wear the brake rotors unevenly, which causes rotor
thickness variation. Pulsation that is the result of excessive Lateral Run Out usually develops in
4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi). The more excessive the LRO, the faster the pulsation will
develop. LRO can also be induced when uneven torque is applied to wheel nuts (lug nuts).
Improper wheel tightening after tire rotation, spare tire usage, brake inspection, etc. can be the
cause of brake pulsation. Again, it usually takes 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi) AFTER the
service event for the condition to develop. The customer does not usually make the connection
between the service event and the awareness of the pulsation. The proper usage of torque
wrenches and/or torque sticks (torque limiting sockets) will greatly reduce or eliminate the pulsation
conditions after wheel service events. The improper use of impact wrenches on wheel nuts greatly
increases the likelihood of pulsation after wheel service.
The following are examples of pulsation conditions and reimbursement recommendations:
- If the customer noticed the condition between 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi) and it gradually
got worse, normally the repair would be covered. The customer may tolerate the condition until it
becomes very apparent.
- If a GM dealer performed a prior brake service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly
reinforce proper brake lathe maintenance.
- If the customer had the brake service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not
offer any assistance.
- If a customer indicated they had wheel service, ask who performed the service. Then;
- If a GM dealer performed the service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly reinforce
the use of torque sticks at the dealer. Two common size torque sticks cover 90% of all GM
products. Each technician needs to use torque sticks properly every time the wheel nuts are
tightened.
- If the customer had the wheel service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not
offer any assistance.
2. Thickness Variation Pulsation Caused by Brake Rotor Corrosion - Rotor corrosion is another
form of thickness variation, which can cause a
pulsation concern and can be addressed as follows:
- Cosmetic Corrosion:
In most instances rotor corrosion is cosmetic and refinishing the rotor is unnecessary.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (Lot Rot / Low Miles - 0-321 km (0-200 mi):
At times more extensive corrosion can cause pulsation due to thickness variation. This usually
happens when the vehicle is parked for long periods of time in humid type conditions and the
braking surface area under the pads corrodes at a different rate compared to the rest of the braking
surface area. Cleaning up of braking surfaces (burnishing) can be accomplished by 10 - 15
moderate stops from 56- 64 km/h (35 - 40 mph) with cooling time between stops. If multiple
moderate braking stops do not correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-Up Procedure"
below.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (without rotor flaking / higher mileage 3,200-8,000 km (2,000-5,000 mi):
In some cases, more extensive corrosion that is not cleaned up by the brake pad over time and
miles can cause the same type of pulsation complaint due to thickness variation. In these cases,
the rotor surface is usually darker instead of shiny and a brake pad foot print can be seen against
the darker surface. This darker surface is usually due to build-up, on the rotor material surface,
caused by a combination of corrosion, pad material and heat. To correct this condition, follow the
"Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure" below.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (with rotor flaking / higher mileage - 8,000 +
km (5,000 + miles) :
At times, more extensive corrosion over time and miles can cause pulsation due to thickness
variation (flaking). This flaking is usually a build up, mostly on the rotor material surface, caused by
a combination of corrosion, pad material and heat. When rotor measurements are taken, the low
areas are usually close to the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement and the high areas
usually measure more than the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement (depending on
mileage and normal wear). To correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure"
described below.
Important In some flaking instances, cleaning-up this type of corrosion may require more rotor
material to be removed then desired. Customer consideration should be taken in these situations
and handled on a case by case basis, depending on the amount/percentage of rotor life remaining
and the vehicle's warranty time and miles.

SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note
Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.

onto the subject vehicle.
- After match mounting, the tire/wheel assembly must be rebalanced.
If match mounting tires to in-spec wheels produces assembly values higher than these, tire
replacement may be necessary. Replacing tires at lower values will probably mean good tires are
being condemned. Because tires can sometimes become temporarily flat-spotted, which will affect
force variation, it is important that the vehicle be driven at least 16 km (10 mi) prior to measuring.
Tire pressure must also be adjusted to the usage pressure on the vehicle's tire placard prior to
measuring.
Most GM vehicles will tolerate radial force variation up to these levels. However, some vehicles are
more sensitive, and may require lower levels. Also, there are other tire parameters that equipment
such as the Hunter GSP9700 cannot measure that may be a factor. In such cases, TAC should be
contacted for further instructions.
Important
- When mounting a GM wheel to a wheel balancer/force variation machine, always use the wheel's
center pilot hole. This is the primary centering mechanism on all GM wheels; the bolt holes are
secondary. Usually a back cone method to the machine should be used. For added accuracy and
repeatability, a flange plate should be used to clamp the wheel onto the cone and machine. This
system is offered by all balancer manufacturers in GM's dealer program.
- Any type of service equipment that removes tread rubber by grinding, buffing or truing is NOT
recommended, and may void the tire warranty. However, tires may have been ground by the tire
company as part of their tire manufacturing process. This is a legitimate procedure.

Attention:
To properly correct this condition, you must follow both of the procedures to relocate the ECT
sensor and the engine coolant heater cord.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add cast iron block engine RPOs and to update the
Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.
Warning
To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot.
The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam
Page 13529
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable

Page 7122
Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,
Equinox, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse 2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon 2009
Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the models to include full size trucks. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 08-09-41-009 (Section 09 - Restraints).
Technicians may find a DTC B0081 5A in some of the vehicles listed above. The sensing and
diagnostic module (SDM) is setting this DTC due to an issue with the messages in the software for
the SDM.
Technicians should check for DTCs while the ignition is in RUN. If DTC B0081 5A is set in history,
there is no need for any parts replacement. The only way this code is set in history is if the key is
left in ACC for more than 10 seconds. The passenger side tell tale airbag light in the cluster will
stay on solid until the key is in RUN or OFF. For example, the customer will have the car parked,
key in ACC and listening to the radio the light comes on and the DTC B0081 5A sets.
If you are checking the vehicle after this event, you will find DTC B0081 5A in history if the IGN is in
RUN.
If you turn the key to the ACC position for more than 10 seconds with the Tech 2(R) tool
connected, the code will be current as long as you are in the ACC position.
If the key is moved to RUN or OFF, the telltale light will go off and the code will go immediately to
history (reference to PIC4917 DTC B0081 5A In History).
This condition will only occur with the following passenger presence system (PPS) module part
numbers:
^ 25977948 (CK) (All)
^ 94216444 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92221553 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92219364 (G8) (Cloth)
Remember that any time the vehicle is brought into service that the customer could have operated
the vehicle in ACC for more than 10 seconds. This will cause the passenger side airbag light to
come on solid in the cluster. Please tell the customer that this is a normal operating characteristic.
If DTC B0081 5A is current while the ignition is in RUN, please check all connections and wiring.
Check the seat connector located on the right side under the sill plate in the door opening. Pull the
seat out of the vehicle and check for PPS wiring and make sure all connectors are connected.
ThePPS Module has two connections one for the seat harness and one for the sensor mat (the
sensor mat is located between the seat foam cushion and seat pan).

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Date: April 21, 2011
Subject: Chemical Staining, Pitting, Corrosion and/or Spotted Appearance of Chromed Aluminum
Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative
products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
00-03-10-002E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important You may give a copy of this bulletin to the
customer.
What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1
Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an
example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from
using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient
to clean wheels.
If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states
that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers
should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these
chemicals.)
- Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome)
- Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid
- Sulfamic Acid
- Phosphoric Acid
- Hydroxyacetic Acid
Notice
Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most
customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal.
Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the
paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car
warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the
calipers.
Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean,
clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts,
lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to
the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the
damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

PROM - Programmable Read Only Memory: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine/Transmission Aftermarket Calibrations
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-06-04-026B
Date: April 07, 2010
Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009
HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 Equipped with V8 Gas Powered Engines Only
Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle. 2. Go to: Diagnostics and build the vehicle. 3. Select:
Powertrain. 4. Select: Engine. 5. *Select: Engine Control Module or PCM. 6. *Select: Module ID
Information or I/M Information System if the Module ID Information selection is not available. 7. *If
"I/M information System" was selected, it may be necessary to select "Vehicle Information" in order
to display the calibration information.
‹› If the CVN information is displayed as "N/A", it will be necessary to contact the TCSC to obtain
the CVN information.

Bulletin No.: 08-06-03-007
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: No Start, No Crank, Intermittent Electrical Operations (Check For Poor Connections Within
Engine Wiring Harness Junction Block)
Models: 2007-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2009 Chevrolet
Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2007-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali,
Yukon Denali XL
Condition
Some customers may comment on a no start, or no crank, or intermittent electrical operations.
Cause
This may be caused by probing fuse or relay connectors with incorrect J-Tools, which causes
splayed terminals and poor electrical connections. Customers may also have installed wires
adjacent to the fuse connector blades in order to create an electrical circuit, which also creates a
potential loose connection at the fuse. Other potential causes are probing by independent repair
shops during installation of aftermarket accessories like remote start systems.
Correction
If the terminals are damaged beyond repair, the engine wiring harness junction block will have to
be replaced.
Be sure to use the correct J-Tool (J-356616-35), which is designed to prevent splaying of the
terminals and loose connections.
Important:
DO NOT use any other device (incorrect J- Tool, multi-meter probe) to test fuse/relay terminals.
The figure shown shows splayed fuse terminals due to probing with a round instrument, which
caused a poor electrical connection between fuse blade and terminal (note lack of witness mark on
fuse blade).
The figure above shows a wire jammed into fuse slot (potential electrical tap by customer).
Warranty Information
This repair will not be covered under warranty due to damage/failure caused by inappropriate
probing or customer abuse.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 V,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
Testing for Continuity Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.

5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note
Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to

convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .

When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003
Date: May 12, 2008
Subject: Warranty Reduction - Transfer of Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors to
Replacement Wheels and Allowable TPM Sensor Replacements
Models: 2000-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009

with On-Wheel TPM Sensors
TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-09-40-001A
Date: February 02, 2011
Subject: Seat Belt Buckle Latching Issues and/or Seat Belt Warning Lights Illuminated
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2,
H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7 X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-09-40-001 (Section 09 - Restraints).
This bulletin is being published to advise dealers about seat belt buckles not operating and/or seat
belt warning light illumination, as well as difficulty latching and unlatching the buckle or the buckle
release button sticking.
Analysis of warranty data has determined that this condition may be caused by sticky beverages
being spilled onto or into the seat belt buckle assembly. Foreign debris from food, candy wrappers,
paper and coins can also contribute to this condition.
Important If foreign material (debris) or sticky liquids are the cause of the concern, show the
customer the condition of the component (buckle assembly) and explain how it is affecting the
function of the restraint system. Strongly recommend that the component be replaced. Point out the
fact that this is not a manufacturing defect and is not covered by the new vehicle warranty. If the
customer declines to have parts replaced, the service department management must make a
notation on the service record that the lack of functionality of seating position with an inoperative
buckle was fully explained to the customer. The service department management must advise the
customer that having a non-functioning buckle in a seating position voids ability to use that seating
position (no one should ride in the seat). Also make the customer aware that it may be against the
law to ride in a vehicle without wearing a restraint system.
Important Never insert anything other than the seat belt latch plate into the buckle assembly. Do
not attempt to dig anything out of a buckle with a tool. Never try to wash out a buckle to remove a
spilled liquid as this may damage the buckle.
Use the following steps to determine the cause of the concern.
1. Inspect the buckle assembly with a light shining on the latch plate insertion area. Look for any
debris or foreign objects in the buckle. 2. If any debris or foreign objects are observed, try to
vacuum out the item. After the foreign material is removed, latch and unlatch the seat belt. If
the system functions properly, do not replace the seat belt buckle assembly.
3. If the condition has not been corrected, inspect the buckle assembly for any sticky residue. If
sticky residue is found, inform the customer that a
substance was spilled on the seat belt buckle assembly causing the malfunction. The buckle
assembly will need to be replaced at the customer's expense.
4. Refer to SI for seat belt component replacement.
Important If foreign material (debris) or sticky liquids are the cause of the concern, show the
customer the condition of the component (buckle assembly) and explain how it is affecting the

Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

Bulletin No.: 07-06-04-019D
Date: June 28, 2010
Subject: Intermittent Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illuminated, DTC P2138 with Reduced
Engine Power (Repair Instrument Panel (IP) to Body Harness Connector)
Models:
2005-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2005-2009 HUMMER H2
2006-2010 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and warranty information.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-04-019C (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System)
Condition
- Some customers may comment on an intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) being
Illuminated with a message or an indicator that displays Reduced Engine Power.
- The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P2138 - Accelerator Pedal Position (APP)
Sensor 1-2 Correlation set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by water intrusion into the instrument panel (IP) to body harness
connector, which carries the APP sensor signals to the ECM/PCM. This water intrusion results in a
voltage difference between APP Sensor 1 and APP Sensor 2 that exceeds a predetermined value
for more than a calibrated period of time, setting P2138.
Correction
Note Aftermarket equipment can generate DTC P2138 and/or other DTCs.
1. Verify that aftermarket equipment is not electrically connected to any of the APP sensor signal or
low reference circuits or to any other ECM/PCM
5V reference or low reference circuits. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories in SI.
2. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle.
‹› If any 5V reference DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. ‹› If any
5V reference DTCs are not set, proceed to Step 3.
3. Locate the IP to body harness connector, which may be located in and around the left hand kick
panel area or inside the IP. Depending on the
vehicle and model year, refer to Wiring Systems or Power and Signal Distribution in SI.
Note Some examples of potential water leaks are: A-pillar seals, sunroof drain lines (if equipped)
and windshield/cowl sealing.
4. Inspect for a water leak in the area. If necessary use a water hose to determine the source of the
leak. Refer to General Information > Water Leaks
in SI.
‹› If a water leak is observed, repair as necessary. Verify the effectiveness of the repair.
5. Inspect the IP to body harness connector terminals for corrosion and debris. Refer to Testing for
Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in
SI.
‹› If any corrosion and/or debris is observed, repair as necessary.
6. After completing the repair, verify the proper operation of the system. Depending on the vehicle
and model year, perform the Diagnostic Repair
Verification procedure or refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in SI.

^ Increased internal generator temperatures from extended idling can also contribute to lower
electrical system voltage. As the generator's internal temperature rises, the generator's output
capability is reduced due to increased electrical resistance.
Some typical examples of electrical loads are shown above.
Depending on the vehicle application, generator current (amperage) output at engine idle speeds of
600-700 RPM can be as low as 35 percent of the full rated output. With enough electrical loads
"ON", it is easy to exceed the generator current (amperage) output when the engine is at an idle of
600-700 RPM. This is a normal condition. The battery supplements for short periods of time. Items
that affect the vehicle's electrical system current and voltage at idle are the number of electrical
loads being used, including add-on accessories, and extended idle times. When the vehicle speed
is above approximately 24 km/h (15 mph), the engine/generator RPM is high enough and the
generator current (amperage) output is sufficient to supply the current (amperage) requirements of
the vehicle as originally equipped and recharge the battery.
Dimming lights at idle may be considered normal for two reasons:
1. As the engine/generator speed changes, so will the current (amperage) output of the generator.
As a vehicle slows, engine/generator RPM slows and the current (amperage) output of the
generator may not be sufficient to supply the loads, the vehicle system voltage will drop and the
lights will dim. Dimming of the lights is an indication that current is being pulled from the battery. If
the battery is in a low state-of-charge (discharged condition), the driver will notice a more
pronounced dimming than a vehicle with a fully charged battery.
2. When high current loads (blower, rear defogger, headlamps, cooling fan, heated seats, power
seats, electric "AIR" pump, or power windows) are operating or cycled "ON", the generator's
voltage regulator can delay the rise in output. This effect, usually at lower engine speeds, can take
up to ten seconds to ramp up the generator output. This is done to avoid loading the engine
severely. To increase current (amperage) output, additional torque is consumed by the generator.
The engine computer (ECM/PCM) will ramp up engine/generator speed in small steps so engine
speed variations are not noticeable to the driver.
For diagnosis of the battery and/or the generator, refer to the appropriate Service Information (SI)
or Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-03-002C.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 V,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
Testing for Continuity Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control
module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM.
5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note
Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

* Accessory DC power control module (APM)
* Battery energy control module (BECM)
* Motor control module (MCM) 1
* Motor control module (MCM) 2
* Auxiliary transmission fluid pump (ATFP) control module
These modules diagnose their own operation and determine when a fault condition is present.
Diagnostic status is communicated to the HPCM through the following circuits:
* APM utilizes the GM Hi-speed, Hybrid LAN communication circuit
* BECM utilizes the GM Hi-speed, Hybrid LAN communication circuit
* Each MCM and the HPCM exchange information and commands on the SPI bus internal
communication circuit as well as the hi-speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit.
* ATFP control module utilizes a dedicated diagnostic status circuit
In the event a hosted module communicates a fault condition, the HPCM will determine if hybrid
operation is effected and notify the vehicle operator by requesting the MIL illuminate and/or by
displaying a hybrid service required message. In addition, the HPCM will store the associated DTC
information for retrieval by a scan tool. Some hosted modules may require an ignition cycle to clear
certain DTCs from the HPCM.
Circuit Inputs
In addition to GMLAN parameters, the HPCM directly monitors the following signal circuits:
* Transmission shift selector internal mode switch (IMS) Direction and Park/Neutral switch signals
* Engine crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal
* ATFP diagnostic circuit
* High voltage interlock circuit (HVIC)
Circuit Outputs
In addition to GMLAN and SPI bus commands, the HPCM directly controls the following output
circuits:
* ATFP control circuit
* BECM high voltage contactor relay pulse width modulated (PWM) control circuit
Motor Control Module (MCM) 1 and 2
Location
Each electric motor generator located within the transmission assembly is controlled by its own
motor control module (MCM) flash-programmable, micro-processor. Each MCM is contained within
the PIM. Also contained within the PIM is the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM)
micro-processor.
Operating Functions
Each MCM operates the applicable electric motor generator based upon HPCM commands. Each
MCM controls the speed, direction and output torque of its respective traction motor through the
sequencing actuation of high current switching transistors called insulated gate bipolar transistors
(IGBTs).
Communication and Hosted Diagnostics
In addition to the internal SPI bus communication circuit between the HPCM and each MCM, the
MCMs also communicate on the Hi-speed and Hybrid GMLAN communication circuits. The MCM
does not store its own diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information. The HPCM will store MCM
associated DTC information for retrieval by a scan tool. The scan tool can communicate directly
with each MCM in order to retrieve data parameters only.
Circuit Inputs
In addition to GMLAN parameters, each MCM monitors its respective motor generator for voltage,
current, speed, direction and temperature. Additionally, the MCM monitors the IGBT components
for temperature and proper operation. Some of the MCM operation data is shared with the HPCM.
Circuit Outputs
Each MCM controls its respective IGBT driver board that in-turn controls each motor generator.
The motor generators operate using three-phase alternating current (AC) electricity. Three cables
connect each motor generator to the PIM. Each individually shielded cable is orange in color to
alert the technician that the potential for high voltage is present.

of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The engine control module (ECM) is the control center of this
system. The ECM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The ECM constantly monitors
the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and emissions. The ECM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the
system. The ECM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the ECM.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display
as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON:
The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required.
The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
* The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to
ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
* The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
* The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an
emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test
Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
* The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic
converter.
* When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the
ignition is ON.
* When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
is cycled OFF and then ON.

Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

H2 SUT Built Between April, 2008 and May, 2009
Condition
Some customers may comment that the memory function of the memory seats becomes
inoperative after an air bag deployment. Vehicles built between of April 2008 and May, 2009 that
have incurred an air bag deployment will no longer have seat memory functionality. The memory
set and recall features will exhibit no automatic recalls, and no set or recall through the memory
switches, along with no audible feedback. The driver seat/column/pedal can still be moved with the
appropriate switches. The heat/cool functionality is not affected.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the air bag deployed flag getting permanently stored in the
memory seat module.
Correction
Reprogram the Memory Seat Module (MSM) with the latest software calibration.
Important Select the correct calibration files for the appropriate vehicle configuration (body style)
and RPO codes.
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the MSM using the Service Programming System (SPS) with the latest software available on
TIS2WEB. Refer to Memory Seat Control Module Programming and Setup in SI. As always, make
sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Bulletin No.: 09-04-19-001
Date: April 28, 2009
Subject: Whine or Click Type Noises from Front Axle/New Design Front Axle Side Bearing
Adjusters (Inspect/Replace with New Lock Rings)
Models:
2002-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2002-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche,
Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2002-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL All Equipped with 8.25"
Front Axle
Condition
Some customers may comment about whine or click type noises from the front axle. Upon further
investigation, disassembly of the front differential may reveal chipped pinion or ring gear teeth.
Cause
This condition may be caused by an oversize front bearing side adjuster lock ring allowing the
adjuster to move.
New Design Lock Adjusters Vs Old Design T-Lock Adjusters
Note
Front axle housings for old-style (Classic - GMT800) and new-style (GMT900) vehicles are not
interchangeable.
The new design eliminates the side bearing adjusters movement. The lock adjusters are retained
by a pressed in lock ring that maintains the adjuster setting for backlash and side bearing preload.
All front axle housings for all model years will use the new design adjusters, and use the new lock
ring.
The t-lock adjusters are still available, but if a housing replacement is needed, it is necessary to
order the lock ring style housing, two of the new adjusters and two of the lock rings. Part numbers
are available through the GM Parts catalog.
A newly designed 8.25" front axle is in production. The new design eliminates the t-lock side
bearing adjusters. The new adjusters are retained by a pressed in lock ring that maintains the
adjuster setting for backlash and side bearing preload. This design was phased into production
during September, 2006. As a result, in the 2007 model year, both old-style (Classic - GMT800)
and new-style (GMT900) vehicles built before the change have the t-lock design adjusters, and
both types of vehicles built after the change have the lock ring design adjusters.
Correction
If no damage is visible and the concern was a whine or click noise, follow the inspect procedure in
this bulletin and replace the lock ring. Complete assembly replacement is not necessary if an
oversized slipping lock ring was found.
Important The bearing adjuster lock rings are not reusable.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.

and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.

BRAKE ROTOR CLEAN-UP PROCEDURE
Clean-up the rotors on an approved, well-maintained brake lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces. Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is
clean and free of debris or burrs. For more information see the "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure"
section in this bulletin.
1. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake
pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools into the
rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn.
2. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
3. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same procedure. If
zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
4. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the
zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
5. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit sandpaper
to obtain a non-directional finish.
Important Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that
equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a
floating caliper.
Important In many of these instances, such a minimal amount of material is removed from the rotor
that customer satisfaction is not a concern for future brake services. This procedure is intended to
"Clean-up" the rotor surface and should be conveyed to the customer as such - not as "cut",
"refinish" or "machine", which tends to be terms understood as a substantial reduction of rotor
material/life. If the brake lathe equipment being used is not capable of removing minor amounts of
material while holding tolerances, further lathe maintenance, repair, updates or equipment
replacement may be necessary.
Brake Noise
BRAKE NOISE
Some brake noise is normal and differences in loading, type of driving, or driving style can make a
difference in brake wear on the same make and model. Depending on weather conditions, driving
patterns and the local environment, brake noise may become more or less apparent. Verify all
metal-to-metal contact areas between pads, pad guides, caliper and knuckles are clean and
lubricated with a thin layer of high temperature silicone grease. Brake noise is caused by a
"slip-stick" vibration of brake components. While intermittent brake noise may be normal,
performing 3 to 4 aggressive stops may temporarily reduce or eliminate most brake squeal. If the
noise persists and is consistently occurring, a brake dampening compound may be applied to the
back of each pad. This allows parts to slide freely and not vibrate when moving relative to each
other. Use Silicone Brake Lubricant, ACDelco P/N 88862181 (Canadian P/N 88862496) or
equivalent.
The following noises are characteristics of all braking systems and are unavoidable. They may not
indicate improper operation of the brake system.
Squeak/Squeal Noise:
- Occurs with front semi-metallic brake pads at medium speeds when light to medium pressure is
applied to the brake pedal.
- Occasionally a noise may occur on rear brakes during the first few stops or with cold brakes
and/or high humidity.
Grinding Noise:
- Common to rear brakes and some front disc brakes during initial stops after the vehicle has been
parked overnight.
- Caused by corrosion on the metal surfaces during vehicle non-use. Usually disappears after a few
stops.
Groan Noise:
A groan type noise may be heard when stopping quickly or moving forward slowly from a complete
stop. This is normal. On vehicles equipped with ABS, a groan or moan type noise during hard
braking applications or loose gravel, wet or icy road conditions is a normal function of the ABS
activation.

Date: June 21, 2010
Subject: Headlamp Lens Overheating When Covered and Chemical Damage to Exterior
Polycarbonate Headlamp Lenses
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2,
H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and to revise the warning statements.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-42-001C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The bulletin is being issued to make dealers and customers aware of chemical damage that may
be caused to exterior polycarbonate headlamp lenses. Most late model vehicles have these types
of headlamp lenses. This material is used because of its temperature and high impact resistance.
A variety of chemicals can cause crazing or cracking of the headlamp lens. Headlamp lenses are
very sensitive. Care should be exercised to avoid contact with all exterior headlamp lenses when
treating a vehicle with any type of chemical, such as those recommended for rail dust removal.
Rubbing compound, grease tar and oil removers, tire cleaners, cleaner waxes and even car wash
soaps in too high a concentration may also attribute to this condition. This could result in the need
to replace the entire headlamp housing.
Warning
Use only lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a car washing soap to clean exterior lamps and
lenses.
Also, crazing or deformations of the lens may occur if a shop mat or fender cover is draped over
the fender and covers a portion or all of the headlamp assembly while the DRL or headlamps are
on. This action restricts the amount of heat dissipated by the headlamps.
Warning
Care should be taken to not cover headlamps with shop mats or fender covers if the vehicle is
being serviced with the headlamps or DRL illuminated. Covering an illuminated lamp can cause
excessive heat build up and crazing/deformation of the lens may occur. The degradation of the lens
can be unnoticeable at first and eventually become hairline cracks in the lens. In extreme cases, it
could cause the lens to deform. This damage can also be caused by aftermarket shields that are
often tinted in color.
Once a heat buildup is generated by the headlamp, a degradation of the headlamp lens begins.
This degradation of the lens can be unnoticeable at first and eventually manifest as spider cracks.
In more extreme cases, it will begin to melt the lens of the headlamp.
Notice
Headlamps damaged by chemicals, improper cleaning, or overheating due to being covered are
not covered under the new vehicle warranty.

Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years, update the Parts Information and add
a Caution. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-08-64-032 (Section 08 - Body and
Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Do not push or pull on the reluctor wheel of the camshaft position (CMP) actuator during removal or
installation. The reluctor wheel is retained to the front of the CMP actuator by 3 roll pins. Pushing or
pulling on the wheel may dislodge the wheel from the front of the actuator. The actuator return
spring is under tension and may rotate the dislodged reluctor wheel, causing personal injury.
3. Install the CMP actuator and timing chain. Align the hole in the rear face of the CMP actuator
with the locating pin on the front face of the
camshaft. If necessary, rotate the camshaft or crankshaft sprockets in order to align the timing
marks. Use care to install the actuator completely onto the front of the camshaft. Position your
fingers onto the face of the actuator sprocket and push the actuator onto the front of the camshaft.
Never push on the reluctor wheel when attempting to install the actuator.

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the

Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

small white bar coded tag sent with most new vehicles that also has the key code printed on it.
Dealerships should make a practice of comparing the tag's keycode numbers to the keycode listed
on the invoice. Any discrepancy should be reported immediately to the GM of Canada Key Code
Inquiry Desk. Remember to remove the key tag prior to showing vehicles to potential customers.
The third source for Key codes is through the GM KeyCode Look-Up feature within the
OEConnection D2DLink application. KeyCode Look-Up currently goes back 17 previous model
years from the current model year.
When a vehicle is received by the dealership, care should be taken to safeguard the original
vehicle invoice and KeyCode tag provided with the vehicle. Potential customers should not have
access to the invoice or this KeyCode tag prior to the sale being completed. After a sale has been
completed, the KeyCode information belongs to the customer and General Motors.
Tip
Only the original invoice contains key code information, a re-printed invoice does not.
GM KeyCode Look-Up Application for GM of Canada Dealers
All dealers should review the General Motors of Canada KeyCode Look-Up Policies and
Procedures (Service Policy & Procedures Manual Section 3.1.6 "Replacement of VIN plates &
keys").
Please note that the KeyCode Access site is restricted. Only authorized users should be using this
application. Please see your Parts Manager for site authorized users. KeyCode Look-Up currently
goes back 17 years from current model year.

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit monitor for serial data
communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are
exchanged among the modules when the ignition switch is in any position other than OFF. The low
speed GMLAN serial data circuit uses JX 221, JX 339, and, if equipped, JX 223 as common
connection points between some modules and the data link connector (DLC).
Diagnostic Aids
* Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a
history U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status.
Loss-of-communication U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they
are transparent to the vehicle operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms.
Eventually, they will erase themselves automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles.
This condition would most likely be attributed to one of these scenarios:
- A control module on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication
circuit is awake.
- Power to one or more modules was interrupted during diagnosis
- A low battery condition was present, so some control modules stop communicating when battery
voltage drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and control modules on the communication circuit did
not all re-initialize at the same time.
- If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never
be interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
* Do not replace a control module reporting a U-code. The U-code identifies which control module
needs to be diagnosed for a communication

Vehicle Odor Elimination
General Motors offers a product that may control or eliminate odors in the interior and luggage
compartment areas of GM vehicles. GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator is a non-toxic,
biodegradable odor remover. This odorless product has been shown to greatly reduce or remove
objectionable smells of mold and mildew resulting from vehicle water leaks (as well as customer
created odors, i.e. smoke). You may use GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator on fabrics, vinyl,
leather, carpet and sound deadening materials. It may also be induced into HVAC modules and
instrument panel ducts (for the control of non-bacterial related odors).
Important:
This product leaves no residual scent and should not be sold as or considered an air freshener.
Product action may result in the permanent elimination of an odor and may be preferable to
customers with allergies who are sensitive to perfumes.
How to Use This Product
GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator may be sprayed on in a ready-to-use formula or used in steam
cleaners as an additive with carpet shampoo. This water-based, odorless product is safe for all
vehicle interiors. Do not wet or soak any interior surface that plain water would cause to
deteriorate, as this product will have the same effect. Also avoid letting this product come into
contact with vinegar or any acidic substance. Acid-based products will hamper the effectiveness of,
or render GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator inert.
Note:
Complete eight page treatment sheets are enclosed within each case of GM Vehicle Care Odor
Eliminator. These treatment instructions range from simple vehicle odor elimination to full step by
step procedures for odor removal from water leaks. If lost, contact 800-977-4145 to get a
replacement set faxed or e-mailed to your dealership.
Instructions and cautions are printed on the bottle, but additional help is available. If you encounter
a difficult to eliminate or reoccurring odor, you may call 1-800-955-8591 (in Canada,
1-800-977-4145) to obtain additional information and usage suggestions.
Important:
This product may effectively remove odors when directly contacting the odor source. It should be
used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures (in cases such as a water leak) to first eliminate the
root cause of the odor, and then the residual odor to permanently correct the vehicle condition.
Vehicle Waterleak Odor Elimination
STEP ONE:
Confirm that all water leaks have been repaired. Determine what areas of the vehicle were water
soaked or wet. Components with visible mold/mildew staining should be replaced. Isolate the odor
source inside the vehicle. Often an odor can be isolated to an area or component of the vehicle
interior by careful evaluation. Odor evaluation may need to be performed by multiple persons.
Another method of isolating an odor source is to remove and segregate interior trim and
components. Plastic sheeting or drop cloths can be used to confine seats, headliners, etc. to assist
in evaluation and diagnoses. If appropriate the vehicle and interior trim should be evaluated
separately to determine if the odor stays with the vehicle or the interior components. Odors that
stay with the vehicle may be isolated to insulating and sound deadening materials (i.e. water leak
at the windshield or standing water in the front foot well area caused mold/mildew to form on the
bulkhead or kick panel sound deadening pads. If the interior is removed the floor pan and
primed/painted surfaces should be treated with bleach/soap solution, rinsed with clean water and
dried. Interior surfaces should then be treated with GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product
before reinstalling carpet or reassembling.

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the
longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design
connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.

Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by
spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature
contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil
control circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). The ODM
output control is configured to operate as a low side driver for the powertrain relay. The ODM for
the powertrain relay also incorporates a fault detection circuit, which is continuously monitored by
the ECM. When the ECM commands the powertrain relay ON, ignition 1 voltage is supplied to the
ECM, and to several additional circuits.
Diagnostic Aids
This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely
charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See: Starting and Charging/Testing and

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+). When the wheels are
turned out, toe is negative (-). The actual amount of toe is normally only a fraction of a degree. The
purpose of toe is to ensure that the wheels roll parallel.
Toe also offsets the small deflections of the wheel support system that occur when the vehicle is
rolling forward. In other words, with the vehicle standing still and the wheels set with toe-in, the
wheels tend to roll parallel on the road when the vehicle is moving.
Improper toe adjustment will cause premature tire wear and cause steering instability.
Setback Description
Setback Description
Setback applies to both the front and the rear wheels. Setback is the amount that one wheel may
be aligned behind the other wheel. Setback may be the result of a road hazard or a collision. The
first clue is a caster difference from side-to-side of more than 1 degree.
Thrust Angles Description
Thrust Angles Description
Thrust Angles Description
The front wheels aim or steer the vehicle. The rear wheels control tracking. This tracking action
relates to the thrust angle (3). The thrust angle is the path that the rear wheels take. Ideally, the
thrust angle is geometrically aligned with the body centerline (2).
In the illustration, toe-in is shown on the left rear wheel, moving the thrust line (1) off center. The
resulting deviation from the centerline is the thrust angle.

Terminal Replacement Procedure
After the terminal is crimped to the wire, perform the following procedure in order to replace the
terminal.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. Locate the terminal position assurance (TPA).
4. Use a small flat-blade tool to push the TPA until it bottoms out.

Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.

Customer Service)
Models:
2009-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 2009
Saab 9-7X All Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
Condition
Some customers may comment that when the radio is on, it does not mute enough when the
OnStar(R) Turn-by-Turn Navigation directions are announced.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the customer improperly setting the radio volume high enough
when the Turn-by-Turn Navigation messages are played.
The 2009 and 2010 models with OnStar(R) initiates a "soft mute" feature when the radio is on
during Turn-by-Turn Navigation direction announcements. During the announcement, the radio can
still be heard at a very low volume. Previous model years initiated a "hard mute" during this
function which completely muted the radio audio.
Correction
Instruct the customer to increase the radio volume while getting the Turn-by-Turn Navigation
direction announcements. You can control the message volume using the radio volume control,
only when the Turn-by-Turn navigation messages are playing.
Some customers that were accustomed to previous model vehicles with the "hard mute" feature
may be dissatisfied with the function of the "soft mute" feature. For those customers, contact the
OnStar(R) Customer Service Center by pushing the Blue OnStar(R) Button to speak to a trained
Advisor and request a change be made to the vehicle from the "soft mute" setting to that of the
hard or complete muting of audio playback during Turn by Turn directions. OnStar(R) will then
create a case number. Advise the customer that the vehicle update should be completed Over the
Air within 5 business days, after which an OnStar(R) Customer Care advisor will follow-up with the
customer to verify the fix. If the customer does not hear back from OnStar(R) within a week, advise
them to press the Blue OnStar(R) Button and ask for Customer Care to check status.

Some customers may comment on any of the following various driveability symptoms:
- Extended Crank Time
- Hard to Start
- MIL/SES Illuminated with DTCs
- Hesitation
- Lack of Power
- Surge or Chuggle
- Rough Idle
- Light or Intermittent Misfire
Cause
Due to various factors, the fuel injectors may become restricted. Extensive testing has
demonstrated that fuel related issues are the cause of clogged injectors. At this point, no specific
fuel, fuel constituent, or engine condition has been identified as causing the restriction. The
restriction causes the engine to operate at a lean air fuel ratio. This may either trigger the MIL to
illuminate or the engine to develop various driveability symptoms.

Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B
Date: November 18, 2010
Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Note
Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or
provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and
coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Toe Description
Toe is a measurement of how much the front and/or rear wheels are turned in or out from a
straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+). When the wheels are
turned out, toe is negative (-). The actual amount of toe is normally only a fraction of a degree. The
purpose of toe is to ensure that the wheels roll parallel.
Toe also offsets the small deflections of the wheel support system that occur when the vehicle is
rolling forward. In other words, with the vehicle standing still and the wheels set with toe-in, the
wheels tend to roll parallel on the road when the vehicle is moving.
Improper toe adjustment will cause premature tire wear and cause steering instability.
Setback Description
Setback Description
Setback applies to both the front and the rear wheels. Setback is the amount that one wheel may
be aligned behind the other wheel. Setback may be the result of a road hazard or a collision. The
first clue is a caster difference from side-to-side of more than 1 degree.
Thrust Angles Description
Thrust Angles Description
Thrust Angles Description
The front wheels aim or steer the vehicle. The rear wheels control tracking. This tracking action
relates to the thrust angle (3). The thrust angle is the path that the rear wheels take. Ideally, the
thrust angle is geometrically aligned with the body centerline (2).
In the illustration, toe-in is shown on the left rear wheel, moving the thrust line (1) off center. The
resulting deviation from the centerline is the thrust angle.

Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter and
the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow
than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump
located on the bottom of the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel
pump module reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the
correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow
check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed
pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking times.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
Page 20460
9. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting a small flat-bladed tool into the small
slot in the end of the slider and pushing on the
TPA until it comes out of the connector. When the TPA exits the opposite side of the connector,
gasp the TPA and pull it completely out of the connector.
10. Push the wire side of the terminal that is being removed toward the connector and hold it in
position.
11. Insert the J 38125-560 into the 2 triangular cavities on each side of the terminal at the front of
the connector. See the release tool cross reference in
the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.

Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
Page 5787
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 00-06-01-026C
Date: February 03, 2010
Subject: Intake Manifold Inspection/Replacement After Severe Internal Engine Damage
Models:
2010 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include additional model years. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 00-06-01-026B (Section 06 - Engine).
When replacing an engine due to internal damage, extreme care should be taken when transferring
the intake manifold to the new Goodwrench service engine long block. Internal damage may result
in the potential discharge of internal engine component debris in the intake manifold via broken
pistons and/or bent, broken, or missing intake valves. After removing the intake manifold from the
engine, the technician should carefully inspect all of the cylinder head intake ports to see if the
valve heads are still present and not bent. Usually when the valve heads are missing or sufficiently
bent, internal engine component debris will be present to varying degrees in the intake port of the
cylinder head. If this debris is present in any of the cylinder head intake ports, the intake manifold
should be replaced. This replacement is required due to the complex inlet runner and plenum
configuration of most of the intake manifolds, making thorough and complete component cleaning
difficult and nearly impossible to verify complete removal of debris. Re-installation of an intake
manifold removed from an engine with deposits of internal engine component debris may result in
the ingestion of any remaining debris into the new Goodwrench service engine. This may cause
damage or potential failure of the new service engine.

Condition
Certain 2007-2009 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra vehicles currently or
previously registered in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin may have a
condition where an electronic component located beneath the driver's seat may corrode due to a
significant quantity of snow and/or water containing road salt or other contaminants entering the
vehicle and saturating the acoustical padding beneath the carpet. The vehicle's electronic sensing
and diagnostic module (SDM) is located underneath this acoustical padding. If sufficient moisture
collects and is retained in the padding, it may cause excessive corrosion under the module;
compromising the module seal and allowing water intrusion and system malfunction. This may
result in illumination of the Airbag Readiness light, along with a "Service Airbag" message on the
Driver Information Center, and in rare cases, deployment of the seat belt pretensioner and/or
airbags.
Correction
Dealers are to remove the acoustical pad above the SDM.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2007-2009 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra vehicles currently
or previously registered in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, and built

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
Engine Control Module Replacement
Service of the engine control module (ECM) should consist of either replacement of the ECM or
programming of the electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). If the
diagnostic procedures call for the ECM to be replaced, the replacement ECM should be checked to
ensure that the correct part is being used. If the correct part is being used, remove the faulty ECM
and install the new service ECM.
Caution:
* Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the control module connectors and
disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the control module (battery cable, powertrain control
module (PCM)/engine control module (ECM)/transaxle control module (TCM) pigtail, control
module fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal control module damage.
* Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT
contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using
battery booster cables, or when charging the vehicle battery.
* In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the control module, do no
touch the connector pins or the soldered components on the circuit board.
* Remove any debris from around the control module connector surfaces before servicing the
control module. Inspect the control module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the
control module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant
intrusion into the control module.
* The replacement control module must be programmed.
Note
It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programmed
with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100 percent. If the replacement
module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed
at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) from the last oil change.
Removal Procedure
1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine
oil life. 2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection
and Connection (With Single Battery) (See: Starting and

results from the alteration or modification of a vehicle using non-GM approved parts or accessories.
Dealers should be especially cautious of accessory companies that claim the installation of their
product will not void the factory warranty. Many times these companies have even given direction
on how to quickly disassemble the accessory in an attempt to preclude the manufacturer from
finding out that is has been installed.
Any suspect repairs should be reviewed by the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM), and in Canada
by the Warranty Manager (WM) for appropriate repair direction. If it is decided that a goodwill repair
is to be made on the vehicle, even with the installation of such non-GM approved components, the
customer is to be made aware of General Motors position on this issue and is to sign the
appropriate goodwill documentation required by General Motors.
It is imperative for dealers to understand that by installing such devices, they are jeopardizing not
only the warranty coverage, but also the performance and reliability of the customer's vehicle.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
Note
Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or
provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and
coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or
weeks.
Cause
Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat.
There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and
this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear
continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the
environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may
appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be
visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in
an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum
Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant)
Correction
In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below.
Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to
repair the wheel with the procedure below.
Notice
The repair is no longer advised or applicable for chromed aluminum wheels.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly for diagnosis. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and
Installation in SI. 2. After a water dunk tank leak test, if you determine the source of the air leak to
be around the bead seat of the wheel, dismount the tire to examine
the bead seat. Shown below is a typical area of bead seat corrosion.Typical Location of Bead Seat

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.

Fuel Pressure: Service Precautions
Relieving Fuel Pressure Warning
Warning
Remove the fuel tank cap and relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing the fuel system in
order to reduce the risk of personal injury. After you relieve the fuel system pressure, a small
amount of fuel may be released when servicing the fuel lines, the fuel injection pump, or the
connections. In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, cover the fuel system components with a
shop towel before disconnection. This will catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the towel in an
approved container when the disconnection is complete.
Page 11648
Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.
Service and Repair
Trunk / Liftgate Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair
Lock Cylinder Binding
In many cases, applying the proper lubrication can correct the following conditions:
* Binding or sticking door lock cylinders
* Difficulty in inserting and removing the keys
For lubricating the above components, use lubricant GM P/N 12346241 or equivalent.
Do not use penetrating lubricants such as GM P/N 1052949 or WD-40(R). Penetrating lubricants
wash out the original lubrication. Penetrating lubricants eventually evaporate, leaving little or no
lubricating material. However, when using penetrating lubricants in order to thaw or in order to
loosen the lock cylinder components, refer to steps 2-4 in the procedure below for the proper
methods of lubrication.
Repair lock cylinders frozen in cold weather by using the following procedure:
1. While carefully avoiding damage to the painted surfaces, apply heat to the cylinder with a heat
gun. 2. Using a paper clip or a similar item, hold the door shutter open.
Force air into the cylinders using compressed air through a blow gun attachment.
3. While holding the shutter door open, inject small amounts of a recommended lubricant into the
cylinder. 4. Work the key into the cylinder repeatedly.
Wipe away any excess lubrication from the key.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

Subject: Excessive Lint Accumulation on Ebony Colored Cloth Seats (Replace All Seat Covers,
Headrests and Armrests)
Models:
2007-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2007-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon,
Yukon XL Built Prior to October 1, 2008 and Equipped with Ebony Cloth Seats (RPO 19C and 19D)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the parts information for the utilities. Please
discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-50-018D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Important Implementation of this service bulletin by all dealers requires prior District Service
Manager (DVM) (in Canada, the Warranty Manager) approval.
Condition
Some customers may comment on excessive lint accumulation on the cloth seat material. Darker
colored seat fabric seems to show the condition more than lighter fabrics.
Cause
The source of the lint accumulation is not the seat fabric material. The seat material, though,
exhibits a tendency to accumulate and retain lint from sources that come into contact with the
fabric.
Correction
Important All seats will need to be updated in the vehicle. Let customers with RPO 19D know that
the appearance of the insert material will be noticeably different.
If the customer has ebony colored cloth seats, replace the seat covers (back and cushion), the
headrests and the armrests with revised fabric. Refer to SI for the appropriate seat back and
cushion cover, headrest and armrest replacement procedures.

If performing routine Brake Service for worn pads only, and the rotors are not damaged and
measure within specification - DO NOT REFINISH ROTORS.
1. Remove the rotor(s).
2. Measure the rotor for original thickness using a brake micrometer. Multiple measure points
should be taken and the lowest measurement
should be recorded.
3. Reference the Minimum Thickness specification stamped on the backside of the rotor or SI for
Minimum Thickness specification/other. In
most cases, the rotor should be refinished unless the measurement taken makes it obvious that
refinishing the rotor would take the measurement under the Minimum Thickness specification (then
replacement is necessary). DO NOT use any other manufacturers rotor specifications.
3. ***Record the lowest ORIGINAL rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy as
noted in the "Repair Order Documentation - Rotor
Refinish" section of this bulletin.
4. Clean all of the mating surfaces between the hub, the rotor and the wheel using the J 42450A Wheel Hub Cleaning Kit and J 41013 - Whiz
Wheel(R).
If rotors are not to be refinished - Go To Step 8.
Important Cleaning all mating surfaces and making them free of corrosion, burrs and other debris
(which includes removal of Hubless rotors) is critical and MUST be performed whether using an
On-Car or Bench Lathe Refinish Procedure.
5. Be sure to follow the appropriate refinishing procedure listed below for the type of lathe you are
using.
Important Only replace the rotors if they do not meet the Minimum Thickness specification.
Important DO NOT REFINISH NEW ROTORS.
Important Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that
equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a
floating caliper.
Important Prior to making the cut, install the recommended clip-on style disc silencer supplied with
the lathe. Use of this silencer is critical to prevent chatter from occurring during the cut.
Bench Type Lathe
1. Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces.
2. Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is clean and free of
debris or burrs. For more information, see the
"Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure (Bench-Type)" section in this bulletin.
3. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake
pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools
into the rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a
full turn
4. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
5. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same
procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
6. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the
zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
7. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit sandpaper
to obtain a non-directional finish.
On-Car Type Lathe
1. Reinstall the rotor(s).

Note
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

A removable insert, shown above, was added to the outer groove of the upper side rail clamp to
help prevent improper positioning from unintentionally occurring.
Check that the clamps are properly installed using the correct groove in the upper side rail clamp.
Correct positioning is detailed in the illustration above.
Cause #2
The condition may be caused by the tonneau bows not falling into proper position when the
tonneau cover is rolled out. This cause would indicate that repositioning on an upper side rail clamp
is needed.
Correction #2
Note the position of the bows and use the appropriate repair below:
- If bows do not fit between the side rails and additional clearance is required, remove the clamp
nearest the interference. Remove the orange strip to allow access to the outer groove of the upper
clamp. Reinstall the clamp, using the outer groove of the upper clamp.
- If bows are too loose, adjust the clamp nearest the bow with excessive clearance to the inner
groove of the upper clamp.
Cause #3
This condition may be caused by a misalignment of the tonneau side rails and/or improper
adjustment of the forward tension screws. The graphic above shows a misalignment of the tonneau
side rail (1) to the front of the pickup box (2).
Correction #3
1. Verify that the tonneau side rails are aligned with the front of the pickup box as shown above.
2. Ensure that the side rails are aligned with each other in the same fore/aft position (1) on the
vehicle.

GM dexos 1(TM) Engine Oil Specification
Important General Motors dexos 1(TM) engine oil specification replaces the previous General
Motors specifications GM6094M, GM4718M and GM-LL-A-025 for most GM gasoline engines. The
oil specified for use in GM passenger cars and trucks, PRIOR to the 2011 model year remains
acceptable for those previous vehicles. However, dexos 1(TM) is backward compatible and can be
used in those older vehicles.
In North America, starting with the 2011 model year, GM introduced dexos 1(TM) certified engine
oil as a factory fill and service fill for gasoline engines. The reasons for the new engine oil
specification are as follows:
- To meet environmental goals such as increasing fuel efficiency and reducing engine emissions.
- To promote long engine life.
- To minimize the number of engine oil changes in order to help meet the goal of lessening the
industry's overall dependence on crude oil.
dexos 1(TM) is a GM-developed engine oil specification that has been designed to provide the
following benefits:
- Further improve fuel economy, to meet future corporate average fuel economy (CAFE)
requirements and fuel economy retention by allowing the oil to maintain its fuel economy benefits
throughout the life of the oil.
- More robust formulations for added engine protection and aeration performance.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The driver and front passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches
located on the door panels. When a heated seat switch is pressed, ground is momentarily applied
through the switch contacts and the switch signal circuit to the door lock/window switch. In
response to this signal, the door lock/window switch sends a serial message to the memory seat
module (MSM) indicating the heat seat request. The MSM then applied battery voltage to the seat
cushion and seat back heater elements through a common voltage supply circuit. Each individual
heater element is grounded by the module through separate low side drive control circuits. The
heater element control circuits are pulse width modulated (PWM) to ground by the module in order
to control the seat temperatures by regulating the current flow through the heater elements. The
MSM relies on 4 independent inputs from temperature sensors (thermistors) located in the seat
back and seat cushion of the driver and passenger seats. The temperature sensor resistance
varies based on the temperature of the heating element causing the signal circuit voltage to
change. Once the seat reaches the switch set temperature, the MSM will then cycle the control
circuits of the heating elements ON and OFF in order to maintain the desired seat temperature
based on the feedback voltage from the sensors. The MSM then monitors the current flow through
the heating elements and the of rate change of the temperature sensor to verify correct heated seat
operation.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Gasoline Brands That Currently Meet TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Standards
The following gasoline brands meet the TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Standards in all octane
grades :
Chevron Canada (markets in British Columbia and western Alberta)
- Shell Canada (nationally)
- Petro-Canada (nationally)
- Sunoco-Canada (Ontario)
- Esso-Canada (nationally)
What is TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is a new class of gasoline with enhanced detergency and no
metallic additives. It meets new, voluntary deposit control standards developed by six automotive
companies that exceed the detergent recommendations of Canadian standards and does not
contain metallic additives, which can damage vehicle emission control components.
Where Can TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Be Purchased?
The TOP TIER program began in the U.S. and Canada on May 3, 2004. Some fuel marketers have
already joined and introduced TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline. This is a voluntary program and not
all fuel marketers will offer this product. Once fuel marketers make public announcements, they will
appear on a list of brands that meet the TOP TIER standards.
Who developed TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards were developed by six automotive companies: BMW,
General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi.
Why was TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline developed?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline was developed to increase the level of detergent additive in
gasoline. In the U.S., government regulations require that all gasoline sold in the U.S. contain a
detergent additive. However, the requirement is minimal and in many cases, is not sufficient to
keep engines clean. In Canada, gasoline standards recommend adherence to U.S. detergency
requirements but do not require it. In fact, many brands of gasoline in Canada do not contain any
detergent additive. In order to meet TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards, a higher level of
detergent is needed than what is required or recommended, and no metallic additives are allowed.
Also, TOP TIER was developed to give fuel marketers the opportunity to differentiate their product.
Why did the six automotive companies join together to develop TOP TIER?
All six corporations recognized the benefits to both the vehicle and the consumer. Also, joining
together emphasized that low detergency and the intentional addition of metallic additives is an
issue of concern to several automotive companies.
What are the benefits of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline containing the "Lowest
Additive Concentration" recommended by Canadian standards. Clean engines help provide optimal
fuel economy and engine performance, and also provide reduced emissions. Also, the use of TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline will help reduce deposit related concerns.
Who should use TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?
All vehicles will benefit from using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline over gasoline containing the
"Lowest Additive Concentration" recommended by Canadian standards. Those vehicles that have
experienced deposit related concerns may especially benefit from use of TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline. More information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline can be found at this website,
http://www.toptiergas.com/.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
* Verify that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability
conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications ( See: Powertrain Management/Ignition
System/Specifications) for the correct spark plug.
* Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling, replace with a colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage , replace with a hotter plug
* Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage.
- Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1).
- Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should not
move.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, or soot. This is caused by the electrical
charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the terminal post (1) and ground. Inspect for the
following conditions:
- Inspect the spark plug boot for damage.
- Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or
water. A spark plug boot that is saturated will cause arcing to ground.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).

Alignment: Testing and Inspection
Trim Height Inspection
Note
Before performing any of the following adjustment procedures, inspect the entire suspension
system for worn or damaged suspension components. Replace those components before any
measurements or adjustments are performed. Also check for any collision damage.
Trim Height Measurements
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause the vehicle to bottom over bumps, damage to the suspension components, and
symptoms similar to wheel alignment problems. Check the trim heights when diagnosing
suspension concerns and before checking the wheel alignment.
Perform the following before measuring the trim heights:
* Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack.
* Set the tire pressures to the pressure shown on the certification label. Refer to Vehicle
Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label (See: Application and ID) .
* Ensure that the suspension is fully supporting the vehicle.
* If the vehicle is equipped with automatic level control, ensure that the system is functioning
properly.
* Check for installed after market accessories or modifications that could affect trim height
measurements:
- Tire and wheel sizes other than production
- Lifting or lowering kits
- Wheel Opening Flares
- Ground Effects
* Ensure that the passenger and rear compartments are empty, except for the spare tire.
* Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank of fuel. (One U.S.
gallon of gasoline weighs approximate 6.5 lbs. One liter of gasoline weighs 0.70 kg.)
* Close all doors, lift gate/trunk and the hood.
* Remove the alignment rack floating pins.
Z Height Measurement
Note
For vehicles equipped with torsion bars, check the Z height before performing the alignment.
The Z height dimension measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the
vehicle. Vehicles equipped with torsion bars use adjust arms in order to adjust the Z height
dimension. Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of
suspension components.
1. Jounce the front suspension of the vehicle by pushing the vehicle down and lifting up. 2. Allow
the vehicle to settle and take a measurement.

Wheels/Tires - Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
Wheels: All Technical Service Bulletins Wheels/Tires - Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 99-08-51-007E
Date: March 17, 2011
Subject: Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add additional model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-08-51-007D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
This bulletin updates General Motor's position on refinishing aluminum wheels. GM does not
endorse any repairs that involve welding, bending, straightening or re-machining. Only cosmetic
refinishing of the wheel's coatings, using recommended procedures, is allowed.
Evaluating Damage
In evaluating damage, it is the GM Dealer's responsibility to inspect the wheel for corrosion,
scrapes, gouges, etc. The Dealer must insure that such damage is not deeper than what can be
sanded or polished off. The wheel must be inspected for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the
wheel. Any wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished. Wheels that have been
refinished by an outside company must be returned to the same vehicle. The Dealer must record
the wheel ID stamp or the cast date on the wheel in order to assure this requirement. Refer to
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later in this bulletin.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Recommendations
- Chrome-plated aluminum wheels Re-plating these wheels is not recommended.
- Polished aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them. If the
clearcoat is damaged, refinishing is possible. However, the required refinishing process cannot be
performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later
in this bulletin.
- Painted aluminum wheels These wheels are painted using a primer, color coat, and clearcoat
procedure. If the paint is damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original
coatings must be removed first. Media blasting is recommended. Refer to GM Aluminum
Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for the re-painting of this type of wheel.
- Bright, machined aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them.
In some cases, the recessed "pocket" areas of the wheel may be painted. Surface refinishing is
possible. The wheel must be totally stripped by media blasting or other suitable means. The wheel
should be resurfaced by using a sanding process rather than a machining process. This allows the
least amount of material to be removed.
Important Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the
dimensions and function of the wheel.
Painting is an option to re-clearcoating polished and bright machined aluminum wheels. Paint will
better mask any surface imperfections and is somewhat more durable than clearcoat alone. GM
recommends using Corsican SILVER WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look or Sparkle
SILVER WA9967 for a very bright look. As an option, the body color may also be used. When using
any of the painting options, it is recommended that all four wheels be refinished in order to maintain
color uniformity. Refer to GM Aluminum Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for specific procedures
and product recommendations.
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company
Important Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. Such refinished wheels
will be permanently marked by the refinisher and are warranted by the refinisher. Any process that
re-machines or otherwise re-manufactures the wheel should not be used.
A refinisher's responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the equivalent.
Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any kind is
allowed. The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process in order to
assure that the same wheel is returned. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the
wheel. Hand and/or lathe sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed.
Material removal, though, must be kept to a minimum. Re-machining of the wheel is not allowed.
Paint and/or clear coat must not be present on the following surfaces: the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel
and warrant the painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the
new vehicle warranty, whichever is

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.
1999-2003 Model Year (Use Service Kit P/N 19207762)
1. Raise the vehicle. Suitably support the vehicle. 2. Disconnect the EVAP canister vent valve
electrical connector, if equipped. 3. Disengage the two vent valve pipe clips securing the pipe to the
underbody. Remove the clips from the underbody and discard. 4. Disconnect the vent valve pipe at
the EVAP canister. 5. Remove and retain the EVAP canister vent valve bracket mounting bolt. 6.

Service and Repair
Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair
Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle
Danger: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components
are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack
stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed and strap the vehicle to
the hoist.
Danger: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death, always use the jackstands
to support the vehicle when lifting the vehicle with a jack.
Caution: Perform the following steps before beginning any vehicle lifting or jacking procedure:
* Remove or secure all of the vehicle's contents in order to avoid any shifting or any movement that
may occur during the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure.
* The lifting equipment or the jacking equipment weight rating must meet or exceed the weight of
the vehicle and any vehicle contents.
* The lifting equipment or the jacking equipment must meet the operational standards of the lifting
equipment or jacking equipment's manufacturer.
* Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure on a clean, hard, dry, level surface.
* Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure only at the identified lift points. DO NOT allow the
lifting equipment or jacking equipment to contact any other vehicle components.
Failure to perform the previous steps could result in damage to the lifting equipment or the jacking
equipment, the vehicle, and/or the vehicle's contents.
Vehicle Lifting
* Ensure that the lifting equipment meets weight requirements and is in good working order. Always
follow the lift manufacturer's instructions.
* You may lift and support the front of the vehicle at the front suspension near the wheel
assemblies. Ensure that the arms of the front cradle are extended as close to the steering knuckle
as possible.
* Ensure that the vehicle is centered on the hoist before attempting to lift.
* When using a suspension-contact hoist, ensure that the rear cradle has adequate clearance for
the rear stabilizer bar.
* When lifting or jacking a vehicle, be certain that the lift pads do not contact the exhaust system,
brake pipes, cables, HVAC lines, wiring harnesses, fuel lines, or underbody. Such contact may
result in damage or unsatisfactory vehicle performance.
* When using a frame-contact hoist, only place the pads on flat surfaces. Do not place pads within
50 mm (2 in) of any radius.
* Before lifting the vehicle, verify that the vehicle loads are secure and equally distributed.

The GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product is an effective odor elimination product when used
properly. It must come into direct contact with the odor source. It should be used in conjunction with
diagnostic procedures to first eliminate the root cause of the odor. Some procedures for use after
odor root cause correction are:
STEP TWO:
^ Use the trigger spray head.
^ Put a drop of dish soap the size of a quarter in the bottom of a bottle.
^ Add 8 oz. of GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator (1 cup) to the dish soap and top off the bottle with
tap water.
^ This formula should be used on hard surfaces (dash, interior plastic molding, and floor pan)
STEP THREE:
The third step to neutralizing the vehicle is a light to medium treatment of all carpeting and
upholstered seats with the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula and a wide fan spray setting
(at full strength) (i.e.: carpeting on the driver's side requires 4-5 triggers pulls for coverage). The
headliner and trunk should be sprayed next. Lightly brushing the formula into the carpeting and
upholstery is a recommended step for deep odor problems. The dash and all hard surfaces should
be sprayed with dish soap/water mixture. Let stand for 1-2 minutes then wipe off the surface.
STEP FOUR: (vehicle ventilation system treatment)
The ventilation system is generally the last step in the treatment of the vehicle.
a. Spray the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula into all dash vents. (1-2 trigger pulls per
vent).
b. Start the vehicle and turn the vehicle fan on high cool (not A/C setting).
c. Spray the formula (10 trigger pulls) into the outside fresh air intake vent (cowl at base of
windshield)
d. Enter the vehicle after 1 minute and wipe off the excess formula spurting out of the dash vents.
e. Smell the air coming from the dash vents. If odors are still present, spray another 5 triggers into
the cowl, wait another minute and smell the results. Once you have obtained a fresh, clean smell
coming from the vents, turn the system to the A/C re-circulation setting. Roll up the windows, spray
3-5 pumps into the right lower IP area and let the vehicle run with the fan set on high for 5-7
minutes.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited
is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If
these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
Additional Suggestions to Increase Customer Satisfaction
Here are some additional ideas to benefit your dealership and to generate greater customer
enthusiasm for this product.
^ Keep this product on-hand for both the Service Department and the Used Car lot. Add value to
your used car trades; treat loaner and demo cars during service and at final sale to eliminate
smoke, pet, and other common odors offensive to customers. Make deodorizing a vehicle part of
your normal vehicle detailing service.
^ Consider including GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator as a give-away item with new vehicle
purchases. Many dealers give away as "gifts" various cleaning supplies at time of delivery. GM
Odor Eliminator is one of a few products GM offers that has as many uses in the home as in the
vehicle. Customers may find this product can be used for a host of recreational activities
associated with their new vehicle, such as deodorizing a boat they tow, or a camper.
^ GM Odor Eliminator and many of the GM Vehicle Care products offer you the chance to increase
dealership traffic as these superior quality products cannot be purchased in stores. Many
Dealerships have product displays at the parts counter. Consider additional displays in the
Customer Service Lounge, the Showroom and at the Service Desk or Cashier Window. Many
customers who purchase vehicles and receive regular maintenance at your dealership may never
visit the parts counter, and subsequently are not exposed to the variety and value that these
products offer.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

The data link connector (DLC) is a standardized 16-cavity connector. The DLC low speed serial
data circuit is connected directly to the instrument panel (I/P) splice then to all other splices or
modules. Connector design and location is dictated by an industry wide standard, and is required to
provide the following:
* Pin 1 GMLAN low speed communications terminal
* Pin 4 scan tool power ground terminal
* Pin 5 common signal ground terminal
* Pin 6 high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal
* Pin 14 high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) terminal
* Pin 16 scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal
Serial Data Reference
The scan tool communicates over the various busses on the vehicle. When a scan tool is installed
on a vehicle, the scan tool will try to communicate with every module that could be optioned into
the vehicle. If an option is not installed on the vehicle, the scan tool will display No COMM for that
options specific control module.
In order to avert misdiagnoses of No Communication with a specific module, refer toData Link
References (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Data Link
References) for a list of modules, the busses they communicate with, and the RPO codes for a
specific module.

1. Thickness Variation Pulsation is Caused by Lateral Run Out (LRO). LRO on a brake corner
assembly is virtually undetectable unless measured
(with a dial indicator after the brake service) and will not be detected as brake pulsation during an
after brake service test drive. If the brake corner is assembled with excessive LRO (greater than
0.050 mm (0.002 in), thickness variation will develop on the brake rotor over time and miles.
Excessive LRO will cause the brake pads to wear the brake rotors unevenly, which causes rotor
thickness variation. Pulsation that is the result of excessive Lateral Run Out usually develops in
4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi). The more excessive the LRO, the faster the pulsation will
develop. LRO can also be induced when uneven torque is applied to wheel nuts (lug nuts).
Improper wheel tightening after tire rotation, spare tire usage, brake inspection, etc. can be the
cause of brake pulsation. Again, it usually takes 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi) AFTER the
service event for the condition to develop. The customer does not usually make the connection
between the service event and the awareness of the pulsation. The proper usage of torque
wrenches and/or torque sticks (torque limiting sockets) will greatly reduce or eliminate the pulsation
conditions after wheel service events. The improper use of impact wrenches on wheel nuts greatly
increases the likelihood of pulsation after wheel service.
The following are examples of pulsation conditions and reimbursement recommendations:
- If the customer noticed the condition between 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi) and it gradually
got worse, normally the repair would be covered. The customer may tolerate the condition until it
becomes very apparent.
- If a GM dealer performed a prior brake service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly
reinforce proper brake lathe maintenance.
- If the customer had the brake service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not
offer any assistance.
- If a customer indicated they had wheel service, ask who performed the service. Then;
- If a GM dealer performed the service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly reinforce
the use of torque sticks at the dealer. Two common size torque sticks cover 90% of all GM
products. Each technician needs to use torque sticks properly every time the wheel nuts are
tightened.
- If the customer had the wheel service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not
offer any assistance.
2. Thickness Variation Pulsation Caused by Brake Rotor Corrosion - Rotor corrosion is another
form of thickness variation, which can cause a
pulsation concern and can be addressed as follows:
- Cosmetic Corrosion:
In most instances rotor corrosion is cosmetic and refinishing the rotor is unnecessary.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (Lot Rot / Low Miles - 0-321 km (0-200 mi):
At times more extensive corrosion can cause pulsation due to thickness variation. This usually
happens when the vehicle is parked for long periods of time in humid type conditions and the
braking surface area under the pads corrodes at a different rate compared to the rest of the braking
surface area. Cleaning up of braking surfaces (burnishing) can be accomplished by 10 - 15
moderate stops from 56- 64 km/h (35 - 40 mph) with cooling time between stops. If multiple
moderate braking stops do not correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-Up Procedure"
below.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (without rotor flaking / higher mileage 3,200-8,000 km (2,000-5,000 mi):
In some cases, more extensive corrosion that is not cleaned up by the brake pad over time and
miles can cause the same type of pulsation complaint due to thickness variation. In these cases,
the rotor surface is usually darker instead of shiny and a brake pad foot print can be seen against
the darker surface. This darker surface is usually due to build-up, on the rotor material surface,
caused by a combination of corrosion, pad material and heat. To correct this condition, follow the
"Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure" below.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (with rotor flaking / higher mileage - 8,000 +
km (5,000 + miles) :
At times, more extensive corrosion over time and miles can cause pulsation due to thickness
variation (flaking). This flaking is usually a build up, mostly on the rotor material surface, caused by
a combination of corrosion, pad material and heat. When rotor measurements are taken, the low
areas are usually close to the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement and the high areas
usually measure more than the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement (depending on
mileage and normal wear). To correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure"
described below.
Important In some flaking instances, cleaning-up this type of corrosion may require more rotor
material to be removed then desired. Customer consideration should be taken in these situations
and handled on a case by case basis, depending on the amount/percentage of rotor life remaining
and the vehicle's warranty time and miles.

Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,
Equinox, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse 2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon 2009
Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

3. Once installed, pull on both sides of the connection in order to ensure the connection is secure.
4. Install the fuel line retainer.

4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward.
Note
Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it.
5. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing
down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA
out of the connector.
Note
Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-21 tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool
may break.
6. Insert the J 38125-21 tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the
connector. See the release tool cross reference in
the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
7. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.
Page 8810
5. Use the J 38125-12A tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the left side of the
terminal release cavity as shown in the graphic. Use
the tool to move the terminal release to the right with a gentle prying motion. See the release tool
cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is
used.
6. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125 .

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.

results from the alteration or modification of a vehicle using non-GM approved parts or accessories.
Dealers should be especially cautious of accessory companies that claim the installation of their
product will not void the factory warranty. Many times these companies have even given direction
on how to quickly disassemble the accessory in an attempt to preclude the manufacturer from
finding out that is has been installed.
Any suspect repairs should be reviewed by the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM), and in Canada
by the Warranty Manager (WM) for appropriate repair direction. If it is decided that a goodwill repair
is to be made on the vehicle, even with the installation of such non-GM approved components, the
customer is to be made aware of General Motors position on this issue and is to sign the
appropriate goodwill documentation required by General Motors.
It is imperative for dealers to understand that by installing such devices, they are jeopardizing not
only the warranty coverage, but also the performance and reliability of the customer's vehicle.

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

Hybrid Service Transmissions/Auxiliary Fluid Pump
New hybrid service transmissions include a 2010 model year transmission auxiliary fluid pump that
utilizes an updated connector that will not plug into the transmission auxiliary fluid pump control
module. This includes the following service transmission part numbers:
- 2008 2WD - P/N 24256371
- 2008 4WD - P/N 24256372
- 2009 2WD - P/N 24256375
- 2009 4WD - P/N 24256376
The 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pump, P/N 19207983, has a different connector that does not
match previous model year service transmissions. Internally, the 2010 auxiliary fluid pump is
identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid
pump control module utilizing a replacement service connector on the control module.
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump service part will be replaced by the 2010 version
and will be required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. Service replacement for these
vehicles will also require a replacement service connector to interface with a 2008-2009
transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module.
Transmission Auxiliary Fluid Pump Control Module
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module service part will be replaced by
the 2010 version and is required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. The 2010 transmission
auxiliary fluid pump control module, P/N 29546636, includes different connectors that do not match
previous model year transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and engine wiring harnesses. Internally, the
2010 auxiliary fluid pump control module is identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with
a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness utilizing replacement
service connectors on the transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness.
Instructions
Follow the tables below when servicing 2008 and 2009 model year vehicles with the above hybrid
service transmissions, 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and 2010 transmission auxiliary
fluid pump control modules.
Refer to Component Connector End Views, Hybrid Controls Schematics and Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves in SI for additional information on these connectors, circuits and use of the
splice sleeves included with the service connectors listed below.
Important The connectors listed are standard "pigtail" type splice connectors with 406 mm (16 in)
leads. When installing, cut the pigtail leads back to a length just long enough to install the splice

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

1-905-644-4892. If the customer is dealing with an emergency lock-out situation, you need to have
the customer contact Roadside assistance, OnStar if subscribed, or 911.
What should I do if the KeyCode from the look-up system does not work on the vehicle?
On occasion a dealer may encounter a KeyCode that will not work on the vehicle in question. In
cases where the KeyCode won't work you will need to verify with the manufacturer of the cutting
equipment that the key has been cut correctly. If the key has been cut correctly you may be able to
verify the proper KeyCode was given through the original selling dealer. When unable to verify the
KeyCode through the original selling dealer contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at
1-905-644-4892. If the key has been cut correctly and the code given does not work, the lock
cylinder may have been changed. In these situations following the proper SI document for recoding
a key or replacing the lock cylinder may be necessary.
How long do I have to keep KeyCode Records?
Dealership KeyCode documentation must be retained for two years.
Can I get a KeyCode changed in the Look-Up system?
Yes, KeyCodes can be changed in the Look-Up system if a lock cylinder has been changed.
Contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892.
What information do I need before I can provide a driver of a company fleet vehicle Keys or
KeyCode information?
The dealership should have a copy of the individual's driver's license, proof of employment and
registration. If there is any question as to the customer's employment by the fleet company, the
dealer should attempt to contact the fleet company for verification. If there is not enough
information to determine ownership and employment, this information should not be provided.
How do I document a request from an Independent Repair facility for a KeyCode or Key?
The independent must provide a copy of their driver's license, proof of employment and signed
copy of the repair order for that repair facility. The repair order must include customer's name,
address, VIN, city, province and license plate number. Copies of this information must be included
in your dealer KeyCode file.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update the information. Please
discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-013A (Section 02 - Steering).
A recently completed analysis of returned power steering (PS) pumps that had been replaced for
noise, no power assist, no or low pressure and leaking conditions has indicated a high number of
"No Trouble Found" results.
Corporate Bulletin Number 01-02-32-004 indicates that when attempting to repair a power steering
concern, the steering system analyzer should be utilized to assist the technician in a successful
diagnosis. Note- Saturn ASTRA does not utilize the Power Steering System Analyzer.
In addition, extensive warranty analysis has shown that the following situations are all significant
root causes of PS pump failures:
- Improper pulley installation
- Re-using the O-rings
- Using fluid other than the OE-specified steering fluid
- Failure to flush the PS system
In order to help improve customer satisfaction and reduce comebacks, GM recommends the
following tips for replacing a PS pump:
1. Low or no pressure from the PS pump may be the results of dirty or contaminated fluid, which
could cause the pressure relief valve to stop
functioning. Using the proper tools, flush and bleed the PS system. Any residual contaminants will
result in pump failure.
2. When removing the pulley, use the proper special tools. Because the pulley alignment is critical,
distorting the pulley may damage bearings on the
new PS pump.
Note Some new PS pumps may not include a new O-ring. Please refer to the appropriate Parts

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.
1. Access and remove the seat bolts/nuts. 2. Adjust the seat rearward about halfway. Adjust the

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.

Condition
Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
- An intermittent no crank/no start
- Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination
- Intermittent service lamp illumination
- Intermittent service message(s) being displayed
The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a buildup of nonconductive insulating oxidized debris known as
fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector.
This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
- Vibration
- Thermal cycling
- Poor connection/terminal retention
- Micro motion
- A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement
On low current signal circuits this condition may cause high resistance, resulting in intermittent
connections.
On high current power circuits this condition may cause permanent increases in the resistance and
may cause a device to become inoperative.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.

Verify Original Equipment Condition of the Vehicle
- Verify that Original Equipment Tires and Wheels or Official GM Accessory Tires and Wheels are
on the vehicle.
- Verify that aftermarket suspension "Lift" or "Lowering" Kits or other suspension alterations have
NOT been done to the vehicle.
- Check for accidental damage to the vehicle; for example, severe pothole or curb impacts, collision
damage that may have affected the wheel alignment of the vehicle; e.g., engine cradles,
suspension control arms, axles, wheels, wheel covers, tires may show evidence of damage/impact.
- Check to be sure vehicle has seen "Normal Use" rather than abuse; e.g., very aggressive driving
may show up by looking at the tires and condition of the vehicle.
- Check for other additional equipment items that may significantly affect vehicle mass such as
large tool boxes, campers, snow plow packages (without the snowplow RPO), etc., especially in
trucks and cutaway/incomplete vehicles. Significant additional mass can affect trim height and
wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed
semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of
these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with
equipment such as the above.)
Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy"
Possible Concerns
The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service:
1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of
effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle's straight heading."
Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle
Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull
concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare
circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered
"Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that
this is "Normal Operation."
Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a
level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is
"steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel.
2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined
as the steering wheel angle (clocking)
deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road.
3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the
shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and
should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of
the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled
mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the
customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from
aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition.
Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is
"normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can
show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance
and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance
records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are
being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be
performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

Special Tools
J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

16. Remove the engine wiring harness clip bolt (4) from the generator bracket. 17. Gather the
branches of the engine wiring harness and reposition the aside.
18. Remove the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) hose.

hot particles embed themselves in the chrome layer and create a small pit. If the material is allowed
to sit on the wheel while it is exposed to moisture or salt, it will corrode the wheel beneath the
chrome leaving a pit or small blister in the chrome.
Heavy brake dust build-up should be removed from wheels by using GM Chrome Cleaner and
Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada use 10953013). For moderate cleaning, light brake dust build-up
or water spots use GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use Meguiars
Plast-X(TM) Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish #G12310C**). After cleaning, the wheel should be
waxed using GM Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, use Meguiars Cleaner Wax
#M0616C**), which will help protect the wheel from brake dust and reduce adhesion of any brake
dust that gets on the wheel surface. For general maintenance cleaning, PEEK Metal Polish† may
be used. It will clean and shine the chrome and leave behind a wax coating that may help protect
the finish.
Warranty of Stardust Corroded Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of neglect and brake dust build-up may be
replaced one time.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean and free of prolonged exposure to brake dust
build-up. "GM of Canada" dealers require prior approval by the District Manager - Customer Care
and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
Customer Assistance and Instructions
GM has looked for ways customers may improve the appearance of wheels damaged by acidic
cleaners. The following product and procedure has been found to dramatically improve the
appearance of stained wheels. For wheels that have milky stains caused by acidic cleaners try the
following:
Notice
THE 3M CHROME AND METAL POLISH REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE IS AN
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE POLISH/CLEANER. THE WHEELS MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE
APPLICATION TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE WHEEL SURFACE. THIS PRODUCT WILL
REDUCE THE THICKNESS OF THE CHROME PLATING ON THE WHEEL AND IF USED
INCORRECTLY OR EXCESSIVELY MAY REMOVE THE CHROME PLATING ALL TOGETHER,
EXPOSING A LESS BRIGHT AND BRASSY COLORED SUB-LAYER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1. Wash the wheels with vigorously with soap and water. This step will clean and may reduce
wheel staining. Flood all areas of the wheel with water
to rinse.
2. Dry the wheels completely.
Notice Begin with a small section of the wheel and with light pressure buff off polish and examine
results. ONLY apply and rub with sufficient force and time to remove enough staining that you are
satisfied with the results. Some wheels may be stained to the extent that you may only achieve a
50% improvement while others may be able to be restored to the original lustre. IN ALL CASES,
only apply until the results are satisfactory.
3. Apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527* with a clean terry cloth towel. As you apply the
polish, the staining will be diminished. 4. When dry, buff off the polish with a clean portion of the
towel. 5. Repeat application of the 3M Chrome and Metal Polish until satisfied with the results. If
continued applications fail to improve the appearance
further discontinue use.
This procedure will improve the appearance of the wheels and may, with repeated applications,
restore the finish dramatically. For wheels that exhibit spotting from road chemicals the above
procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
In this type of staining the wheel finish has actually been removed in spots and no manner of
cleaning will restore the finish.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
Warning
Do not leave the ignition key in the ON position after the test is performed. Leaving the key in the
ON position may result in an Auto-Start of the engine and possible personal injury.
Note
When performing an engine cylinder compression test for the RPO-LFA engine, note that this
engine has a camshaft position actuator with a late intake valve closing feature and a 29 degree
retard park position. With the actuator parked in a retard position, the effective compression of the
engine is reduced during cranking. Compression values on the gage will be lower than a typical
small block engine that does not have this feature.
1. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. As
required, disable the auto-stop function prior to repair.
Refer to Hybrid Modes of Operation Description (See: Hybrid Drive Systems/Description and
Operation/Hybrid Controls/Hybrid Modes of Operation Description) .
2. Ignition key in the OFF position. 3. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully charged. 4.
Disable the fuel and spark by removing the Fuel Pump relay and Powertrain relay. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views (See:
Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) for the Fuse
Block - Underhood Label.
5. Remove the spark plug wires from the spark plugs. 6. Remove all of the spark plugs.
Warning
Do not leave the ignition key in the ON position after the test is performed. Leaving the key in the
ON position may result in an Auto-Start of the engine and possible personal injury.
7. Install a compression gage to the cylinder to be tested. 8. Start with the compression gage at
zero and crank the engine 3-5 seconds using the ignition key. 9. Return the ignition key to the OFF
position.
10. Measure the compression for each cylinder. Record the readings. 11. The minimum
compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest cylinder. For
example, if the highest pressure in any
1 cylinder is 862 kPa (125 psi), the lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 607
kPa (88 psi). (862 kPa x 70% = 607 kPa) (125 psi x 70% = 88 psi).
* Normal - Compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression for each
cylinder.
* Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression builds up with the
following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when you add
oil.
* Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up
on the following strokes. Compression does not improve much when you add oil.
* If 2 adjacent cylinders have lower than normal compression, and injecting oil into the cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause may be a head gasket leaking between the
cylinders.
12. If a cylinder has low compression, inject approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into
the combustion chamber through the spark plug
hole. Measure the compression again and record the reading.
13. Reinstall the Fuel Pump relay and Powertrain relay. 14. Using the scan tool, clear all diagnostic
codes.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

Removal Procedure
Caution: With wheels of the vehicle facing straight ahead, secure the steering wheel utilizing
steering column anti-rotation pin, steering column lock, or a strap to prevent rotation. Locking of the
steering column will prevent damage and a possible malfunction of the SIR system. The steering
wheel must be secured in position before disconnecting the following components:
* The steering column
* The intermediate shaft(s)
* The steering gear
After disconnecting these components, do not rotate the steering wheel or move the front tires and
wheels. Failure to follow this procedure may cause the SIR coil assembly to become un-centered
and cause possible damage to the SIR coil. If you think the SIR coil has became un-centered, refer
to your specific SIR coil's centering procedure to re-center SIR Coil.
1. With the wheels of the vehicle in the straight ahead position, secure the steering wheel or the
steering column with a steering column anti-rotation
pin, a steering column lock, or a strap, as applicable, in order to prevent rotation.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the engine
operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to an extra load on the generator. To help identify an
intermittent or an improper condition, vary the loads on the accessory drive components.
The drive belt may have a rumbling condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the
drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the
drive belts are installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the
load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is
causing the rumbling noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This test is to verify that
the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may cause a similar
symptom. 3. This test is to verify that one of the drive belts is causing the rumbling noise or
vibration. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the
description. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine
may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4.
Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure that they are not causing the noise. Small cracks across the
ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation is identified by the plys of the belt
separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt or felt as a lump in the belt. 5. Small amounts
of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have
a smooth surface for proper operation. 9. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility

What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be unhealthy for your skin and could even
cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with
soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing
used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil
from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

hot particles embed themselves in the chrome layer and create a small pit. If the material is allowed
to sit on the wheel while it is exposed to moisture or salt, it will corrode the wheel beneath the
chrome leaving a pit or small blister in the chrome.
Heavy brake dust build-up should be removed from wheels by using GM Chrome Cleaner and
Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada use 10953013). For moderate cleaning, light brake dust build-up
or water spots use GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use Meguiars
Plast-X(TM) Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish #G12310C**). After cleaning, the wheel should be
waxed using GM Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, use Meguiars Cleaner Wax
#M0616C**), which will help protect the wheel from brake dust and reduce adhesion of any brake
dust that gets on the wheel surface. For general maintenance cleaning, PEEK Metal Polish† may
be used. It will clean and shine the chrome and leave behind a wax coating that may help protect
the finish.
Warranty of Stardust Corroded Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of neglect and brake dust build-up may be
replaced one time.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean and free of prolonged exposure to brake dust
build-up. "GM of Canada" dealers require prior approval by the District Manager - Customer Care
and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
Customer Assistance and Instructions
GM has looked for ways customers may improve the appearance of wheels damaged by acidic
cleaners. The following product and procedure has been found to dramatically improve the
appearance of stained wheels. For wheels that have milky stains caused by acidic cleaners try the
following:
Notice
THE 3M CHROME AND METAL POLISH REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE IS AN
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE POLISH/CLEANER. THE WHEELS MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE
APPLICATION TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE WHEEL SURFACE. THIS PRODUCT WILL
REDUCE THE THICKNESS OF THE CHROME PLATING ON THE WHEEL AND IF USED
INCORRECTLY OR EXCESSIVELY MAY REMOVE THE CHROME PLATING ALL TOGETHER,
EXPOSING A LESS BRIGHT AND BRASSY COLORED SUB-LAYER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1. Wash the wheels with vigorously with soap and water. This step will clean and may reduce
wheel staining. Flood all areas of the wheel with water
to rinse.
2. Dry the wheels completely.
Notice Begin with a small section of the wheel and with light pressure buff off polish and examine
results. ONLY apply and rub with sufficient force and time to remove enough staining that you are
satisfied with the results. Some wheels may be stained to the extent that you may only achieve a
50% improvement while others may be able to be restored to the original lustre. IN ALL CASES,
only apply until the results are satisfactory.
3. Apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527* with a clean terry cloth towel. As you apply the
polish, the staining will be diminished. 4. When dry, buff off the polish with a clean portion of the
towel. 5. Repeat application of the 3M Chrome and Metal Polish until satisfied with the results. If
continued applications fail to improve the appearance
further discontinue use.
This procedure will improve the appearance of the wheels and may, with repeated applications,
restore the finish dramatically. For wheels that exhibit spotting from road chemicals the above
procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
In this type of staining the wheel finish has actually been removed in spots and no manner of
cleaning will restore the finish.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 09-04-19-002A
Date: February 17, 2011
Subject: 4WD System Shift Performance in Cold Ambient Temperatures (Use Synthetic Fluid in
Light Duty Front Axles with 8.5" Ring Gears)
Models:
1999-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series Models 1999-2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Series Models
Equipped with 4WD and 8.25" Front Axle Ring Gears (Transfer Case RPOs NP2, NQG)
Attention:
It is important to determine the RPO for the transfer case in GWM/IVH prior to applying this bulletin.
This bulletin applies ONLY to vehicles equipped with 8.25" front axle ring gears, used in
conjunction with a manual transfer case (RPOs NP2, NQG).
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-04-19-002 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment about the effort required to shift from 2HI to 4HI in cold ambient
temperatures at -6°C (20°F) or below.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the standard front axle being equipped with conventional mineral
oil axle fluid. In cold ambient temperatures, prior to complete warm up, the fluid viscosity is thick.
This may affect transfer case shift performance prior to full warm up.
Correction
Drain the front axle fluid and refill with GM SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Fluid, P/N 89021677 (in
Canada, 89021678). Refer to Front Axle Lubricant Replacement in SI. It is important to use
synthetic fluid in this 8.25" axle to improve the performance of the 4WD system in cold ambient
temperatures.

The GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product is an effective odor elimination product when used
properly. It must come into direct contact with the odor source. It should be used in conjunction with
diagnostic procedures to first eliminate the root cause of the odor. Some procedures for use after
odor root cause correction are:
STEP TWO:
^ Use the trigger spray head.
^ Put a drop of dish soap the size of a quarter in the bottom of a bottle.
^ Add 8 oz. of GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator (1 cup) to the dish soap and top off the bottle with
tap water.
^ This formula should be used on hard surfaces (dash, interior plastic molding, and floor pan)
STEP THREE:
The third step to neutralizing the vehicle is a light to medium treatment of all carpeting and
upholstered seats with the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula and a wide fan spray setting
(at full strength) (i.e.: carpeting on the driver's side requires 4-5 triggers pulls for coverage). The
headliner and trunk should be sprayed next. Lightly brushing the formula into the carpeting and
upholstery is a recommended step for deep odor problems. The dash and all hard surfaces should
be sprayed with dish soap/water mixture. Let stand for 1-2 minutes then wipe off the surface.
STEP FOUR: (vehicle ventilation system treatment)
The ventilation system is generally the last step in the treatment of the vehicle.
a. Spray the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula into all dash vents. (1-2 trigger pulls per
vent).
b. Start the vehicle and turn the vehicle fan on high cool (not A/C setting).
c. Spray the formula (10 trigger pulls) into the outside fresh air intake vent (cowl at base of
windshield)
d. Enter the vehicle after 1 minute and wipe off the excess formula spurting out of the dash vents.
e. Smell the air coming from the dash vents. If odors are still present, spray another 5 triggers into
the cowl, wait another minute and smell the results. Once you have obtained a fresh, clean smell
coming from the vents, turn the system to the A/C re-circulation setting. Roll up the windows, spray
3-5 pumps into the right lower IP area and let the vehicle run with the fan set on high for 5-7
minutes.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited
is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If
these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
Additional Suggestions to Increase Customer Satisfaction
Here are some additional ideas to benefit your dealership and to generate greater customer
enthusiasm for this product.
^ Keep this product on-hand for both the Service Department and the Used Car lot. Add value to
your used car trades; treat loaner and demo cars during service and at final sale to eliminate
smoke, pet, and other common odors offensive to customers. Make deodorizing a vehicle part of
your normal vehicle detailing service.
^ Consider including GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator as a give-away item with new vehicle
purchases. Many dealers give away as "gifts" various cleaning supplies at time of delivery. GM
Odor Eliminator is one of a few products GM offers that has as many uses in the home as in the
vehicle. Customers may find this product can be used for a host of recreational activities
associated with their new vehicle, such as deodorizing a boat they tow, or a camper.
^ GM Odor Eliminator and many of the GM Vehicle Care products offer you the chance to increase
dealership traffic as these superior quality products cannot be purchased in stores. Many
Dealerships have product displays at the parts counter. Consider additional displays in the
Customer Service Lounge, the Showroom and at the Service Desk or Cashier Window. Many
customers who purchase vehicles and receive regular maintenance at your dealership may never
visit the parts counter, and subsequently are not exposed to the variety and value that these
products offer.

Caution
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check-Vehicle. 2. Identify the DTC that is set AND review the
DTC Descriptor in the corresponding diagnostic procedure. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC)
List-Vehicle in SI.
3. Using the information from the DTC Descriptor, determine the location of the affected electrical
connector. Refer to SIR Identification Views and
the Master Electrical Component List in SI.
4. Turn OFF the ignition and disable the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to
SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI. 5. BEFORE removing, INSPECT the CPA retainer at the
electrical connector.
Note The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other.
Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the
shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
‹› If the CPA retainer is loose, damaged, or will not seat in the connector, replace it with a new one.
Reinstall the CPA correctly by first pushing
the connector body in completely, and then pushing the CPA retainer in completely.
‹› If the CPA retainer is not loose or damaged and is properly seated, proceed to Step 6.
6. Remove the CPA retainer and disconnect the electrical connector. Inspect the terminals for the
following conditions:
- Corrosion
- Contamination
- Terminal tension
- Damage
Important The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating
provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. Use the J-38125
SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit for repairing SIR/SRS terminals and connectors. DO NOT substitute
any other terminals for those in the repair kit.
‹› If the terminals are damaged, corrosion is observed, or have poor tension, repair or replace as
necessary. Apply dielectric grease, GM P/N
12345579 (in Canada, use P/N 10953481) on the connector pins and terminals when
reassembling. Refer to SIR/SRS Wiring Repairs in SI.
Note The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other.
Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the
shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
7. Connect the electrical connector, and install the CPA retainer. 8. Enable the supplemental
inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI. 9. Clear the DTC with a
scan tool.
10. Verify that the DTC does not reset by performing the Diagnostic Repair Verification in SI.
‹› If any DTC resets, then refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in SI.

Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 V,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
Testing for Continuity Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

camshaft lobe, the valve spring force is reduced, allowing the locking pins to move, deactivating the
intake valve. However, when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the exhaust valve for the
deactivated cylinder is in the closed position, allowing the locking pins on the valve lifter to move
immediately, and deactivate the exhaust valve.
By deactivating the exhaust valve first, this allows the capture of a burnt air/fuel charge or exhaust
gas charge in the combustion chamber. The capture of exhaust gases in the combustion chamber
will contribute to a reduction in oil consumption, noise and vibration levels, and exhaust emissions
when operating in V4 mode cylinder deactivation mode.
During the transition from V8 to V4 mode, the fuel injectors will be turned OFF on the deactivated
cylinders. To help prevent spark plug fouling, the ignition system secondary voltage or spark is still
present across the spark plug electrodes on the deactivated cylinders. If all enabling conditions are
met and maintained for cylinder deactivation operation, the ECM calibrations will limit cylinder
deactivation to a cycle time of 10 minutes in V4 mode, then return to V8 mode for 1 minute.
Switching between V8 and V4 modes is accomplished in less than 250 milliseconds, making the
transitions seamless and transparent to the vehicle operator. The 250 milliseconds includes the
time for the ECM to sequence the transitions, the response time for the VLOM solenoids to
energize, and the time for the valve lifters to deactivate, all within 2 revolutions of the engine
crankshaft.
Valve Lifter Oil Manifold (VLOM) Assembly
The cylinder deactivation system uses an electro-hydraulic actuator device called the valve lifter oil
manifold (VLOM) assembly. The VLOM is bolted to the top of the engine valley, below the intake
manifold assembly. The VLOM consists of 4 electrically operated normally closed solenoids. Each
solenoid controls the application of engine oil pressure to the intake and exhaust valve lifters on the
cylinders selected to deactivate. Engine oil pressure is routed to the VLOM assembly from an
internal oil passage on the rear of the cylinder block.
All 4 VLOM solenoids are connected in parallel to a fused ignition 1 voltage circuit, supplied by the
powertrain relay. The ground or control circuit for each solenoid is connected to a low side driver
internal to the engine control module (ECM).
When all enabling conditions are met for cylinder deactivation, the ECM will ground each solenoid
control circuit in firing order sequence, allowing current to flow through the solenoid windings. With
the coil windings energized, the solenoid valve opens, redirecting engine oil pressure through the
VLOM into 8 separate vertical passages in the engine lifter valley. The 8 vertical passages, 2 per
cylinder, are connected to the valve lifter bores of the cylinders to be deactivated. When vehicle
operating conditions require a return to V8 mode, the ECM will turn OFF the control circuit for the
solenoids, allowing the solenoid valves to close. With the solenoid valves closed, engine oil
pressure in the control ports is exhausted through the body of the solenoids into the engine block
lifter valley. The housing of the VLOM incorporates several bleeds in the oil passages to purge any
air trapped in the VLOM or engine block.
To help control contamination to the hydraulic circuits, a small replaceable oil screen is located in
the VLOM oil inlet passage, below the oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure sensor is a 3-wire
sensor which provides oil pressure information to the ECM.
During service, use extreme care in keeping the VLOM assembly free of any contamination or
foreign material.
Cylinder deactivation may be inhibited for many reasons, including the following:
* Engine coolant temperature out of range for cylinder activation
* Engine vacuum out of range
* Brake booster vacuum out of range
* Transmission gear incorrect or shift in progress
* Accelerator pedal out of range or rate of pedal application too fast
* Engine oil pressure and temperature out of range
* Engine speed out of range
* Vehicle speed out of range
* Minimum time in V8 mode not met
* Maximum V4 mode time exceeded
* Decel fuel cutoff active
* Reduced engine power active
* Torque management active
* Catalytic converter over temperature protection active
* Piston protection active, knock detected
* Cylinder deactivation solenoid driver circuit faults

Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: No Start, No Crank, Intermittent Electrical Operations (Check For Poor Connections Within
Engine Wiring Harness Junction Block)
Models: 2007-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2009 Chevrolet

Yukon Denali XL
Condition
Some customers may comment on a no start, or no crank, or intermittent electrical operations.
Cause
This may be caused by probing fuse or relay connectors with incorrect J-Tools, which causes
splayed terminals and poor electrical connections. Customers may also have installed wires
adjacent to the fuse connector blades in order to create an electrical circuit, which also creates a
potential loose connection at the fuse. Other potential causes are probing by independent repair
shops during installation of aftermarket accessories like remote start systems.
Correction
If the terminals are damaged beyond repair, the engine wiring harness junction block will have to
be replaced.
Be sure to use the correct J-Tool (J-356616-35), which is designed to prevent splaying of the
terminals and loose connections.
Important:
DO NOT use any other device (incorrect J- Tool, multi-meter probe) to test fuse/relay terminals.
The figure shown shows splayed fuse terminals due to probing with a round instrument, which
caused a poor electrical connection between fuse blade and terminal (note lack of witness mark on
fuse blade).
The figure above shows a wire jammed into fuse slot (potential electrical tap by customer).
Warranty Information
This repair will not be covered under warranty due to damage/failure caused by inappropriate
probing or customer abuse.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

After the terminal is crimped to the wire, perform the following procedure in order to replace the
terminal.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. Locate the terminal position assurance (TPA).
4. Use a small flat-blade tool to push the TPA until it bottoms out.
Page 12956
2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Service and Repair
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer toSIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations) .
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose inflator modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 91 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any Inflatable restraint air bag module
* Inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
* Any Inflatable restraint sensor
* Inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioners
* Inflatable restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) module or sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note
The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Air Bag Systems)
orElectrical Center Identification Views (See: Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse
Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) .

If the Front Pad Kit listed is used to correct any condition other than the condition described in this
bulletin, the vehicle could experience higher mileage corrosion-induced brake pulsation.
If the condition described HAS NOT been verified, or if the condition observed IS NOT most
noticeable through the steering wheel, the observed condition may have a different cause, such as
a tire/wheel or rear brake issue, etc. Refer to SI for any further related diagnostics.
If the condition described has been verified, and if the condition is most noticeable through the
steering wheel, and if the condition was eliminated after driving the vehicle on relatively flat ground,
typically for 1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi), perform the following inspections and repairs.
Important
- It is critical to use the proper OEM brake rotors. Use of Non-OEM rotors may prevent the
condition from being corrected long term.
- If Non-OEM rotors are identified, these rotors are NOT covered under the GM New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
1. Inspect the front brake rotors to ensure that they are OEM rotors.
- Remove the brake rotor from the vehicle.
- Inspect the back side of the rotor for the Bosch Logo. If the Bosch logo IS NOT present, replace
with OEM GM rotors, P/N 25819670.
2. Inspect the front brake rotors for Assembled Lateral Runout (LRO) and thickness variation.
Follow SI procedures. 3. Inspect the front brake rotors for minimum thickness. Follow SI
procedures. 4. If the rotors are within specifications, DO NOT refinish or replace the rotors. 5. If the
rotors are out of specifications, refinish the rotors on a qualified lathe, or replace the rotors as
appropriate. Follow SI procedures.
Note To prevent a noise concern, follow the brake pad insulator preparation and seating
instructions as referenced in Front Brake Pad Replacement (1500) in SI.

If the Front Pad Kit listed is used to correct any condition other than the condition described in this
bulletin, the vehicle could experience higher mileage corrosion-induced brake pulsation.
If the condition described HAS NOT been verified, or if the condition observed IS NOT most
noticeable through the steering wheel, the observed condition may have a different cause, such as
a tire/wheel or rear brake issue, etc. Refer to SI for any further related diagnostics.
If the condition described has been verified, and if the condition is most noticeable through the
steering wheel, and if the condition was eliminated after driving the vehicle on relatively flat ground,
typically for 1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi), perform the following inspections and repairs.
Important
- It is critical to use the proper OEM brake rotors. Use of Non-OEM rotors may prevent the
condition from being corrected long term.
- If Non-OEM rotors are identified, these rotors are NOT covered under the GM New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
1. Inspect the front brake rotors to ensure that they are OEM rotors.
- Remove the brake rotor from the vehicle.
- Inspect the back side of the rotor for the Bosch Logo. If the Bosch logo IS NOT present, replace
with OEM GM rotors, P/N 25819670.
2. Inspect the front brake rotors for Assembled Lateral Runout (LRO) and thickness variation.
Follow SI procedures. 3. Inspect the front brake rotors for minimum thickness. Follow SI
procedures. 4. If the rotors are within specifications, DO NOT refinish or replace the rotors. 5. If the
rotors are out of specifications, refinish the rotors on a qualified lathe, or replace the rotors as
appropriate. Follow SI procedures.
Note To prevent a noise concern, follow the brake pad insulator preparation and seating
instructions as referenced in Front Brake Pad Replacement (1500) in SI.
6. Install the specified front pad kit, GM P/N 25910432. Follow SI procedures. 7. Ensure that the
condition has been eliminated under the same conditions.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.
Disclaimer
Page 3383
Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in
removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to
installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper
readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY.
Notice
Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or
drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to
clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light
coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel
pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub.
Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage
Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse.
You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not
retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any
component suspected of damage.
Tip
Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged
BEFORE tightening the nut.
Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side
of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation.
Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque
Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid
additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown
for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in
order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off
center resulting in vibration.

HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 Equipped with V8 Gas Powered Engines Only
Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.
Warning
To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot.

HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.

Probing Electrical Connectors
Probing Electrical Connectors
Note
Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position
assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Front probe
Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
Note
When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have been
some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is the
J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to use
the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper diagnosis.
Note
The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical center is
J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Attention:
This bulletin should be distributed and reviewed by the Service Manager and Service Advisors. A
copy of this bulletin may be given to your customer to assist in explaining the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter operation.
This bulletin provides information regarding any remote keyless entry/transmitter (key fob) that may
be inoperative intermittently or in which a particular button(s) does not work.
To prevent transmitter battery drain, the RKE transmitter will disable any button or buttons that are
depressed longer than 30 seconds. The disabled button or buttons will remain disabled until
another button that has not been disabled is pressed.
If a button or buttons on a transmitter are not functioning, or if a transmitter cannot be programmed
to a vehicle, press and release each and every button on the fob one at a time until you find one
that works then retest the other buttons. If all buttons are now working, the button(s) were disabled
and the transmitter is working as designed.
If the transmitter still fails to function properly, use the J-43241 tester and follow normal diagnostics
as shown in SI.

onto the subject vehicle.
- After match mounting, the tire/wheel assembly must be rebalanced.
If match mounting tires to in-spec wheels produces assembly values higher than these, tire
replacement may be necessary. Replacing tires at lower values will probably mean good tires are
being condemned. Because tires can sometimes become temporarily flat-spotted, which will affect
force variation, it is important that the vehicle be driven at least 16 km (10 mi) prior to measuring.
Tire pressure must also be adjusted to the usage pressure on the vehicle's tire placard prior to
measuring.
Most GM vehicles will tolerate radial force variation up to these levels. However, some vehicles are
more sensitive, and may require lower levels. Also, there are other tire parameters that equipment
such as the Hunter GSP9700 cannot measure that may be a factor. In such cases, TAC should be
contacted for further instructions.
Important
- When mounting a GM wheel to a wheel balancer/force variation machine, always use the wheel's
center pilot hole. This is the primary centering mechanism on all GM wheels; the bolt holes are
secondary. Usually a back cone method to the machine should be used. For added accuracy and
repeatability, a flange plate should be used to clamp the wheel onto the cone and machine. This
system is offered by all balancer manufacturers in GM's dealer program.
- Any type of service equipment that removes tread rubber by grinding, buffing or truing is NOT
recommended, and may void the tire warranty. However, tires may have been ground by the tire
company as part of their tire manufacturing process. This is a legitimate procedure.

Important Other forms of slow air leaks are possible. If the body of the tire, valve stem and wheel
flange show no signs of air seepage, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-003D for
additional information on possible wheel porosity issues.
3. Bead seat corrosion is identified by what appears like blistering of the wheel finish, causing a
rough or uneven surface that is difficult for the tire to
maintain a proper seal on. Below is a close-up photo of bead seat corrosion on an aluminum wheel
that was sufficient to cause slow air loss. Close-Up of Bead Seat Corrosion
4. If corrosion is found on the wheel bead seat, measure the affected area as shown below.
- For vehicles with 32,186 km (20,000 mi) or less, the total allowable combined linear area of
repairable corrosion is 100 mm (4 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
- For vehicles that have exceeded 32,186 km (20,000 mi), the total allowable combined linear area
of repairable corrosion is 200 mm (8 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
5. In order to correct the wheel leak, use a clean-up (fine cut) sanding disc or biscuit to remove the
corrosion and any flaking paint. You should
remove the corrosion back far enough until you reach material that is stable and firmly bonded to
the wheel. Try to taper the edge of any flaking paint as best you can in order to avoid sharp edges
that may increase the chance of a leak reoccurring. The photo below shows an acceptable repaired
surface.
Notice Corrosion that extends up the lip of the wheel, where after the clean-up process it would be
visible with the tire mounted, is only acceptable on the inboard flange. The inboard flange is not
visible with the wheel assembly in the mounted position. If any loose coatings or corrosion extend
to the visible surfaces on the FACE of the wheel, that wheel must be replaced.
Important Remove ONLY the material required to eliminate the corrosion from the bead seating
surface. DO NOT remove excessive amounts of material. ALWAYS keep the sealing surface as
smooth and level as possible.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Audio - Radio Does Not Mute Enough When Using
OnStar(R)
Communications Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Audio - Radio Does Not Mute
Enough When Using OnStar(R)
TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 10-08-46-001
Date: January 27, 2010
Subject: Radio Does Not Mute Enough When OnStar(R) Turn-by Turn Navigation Directions Are
Announced (Increase Volume Setting or Request Soft Mute Feature Change Through OnStar(R)
Customer Service)
Models:
2009-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 2009
Saab 9-7X All Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
Condition
Some customers may comment that when the radio is on, it does not mute enough when the
OnStar(R) Turn-by-Turn Navigation directions are announced.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the customer improperly setting the radio volume high enough
when the Turn-by-Turn Navigation messages are played.
The 2009 and 2010 models with OnStar(R) initiates a "soft mute" feature when the radio is on
during Turn-by-Turn Navigation direction announcements. During the announcement, the radio can
still be heard at a very low volume. Previous model years initiated a "hard mute" during this
function which completely muted the radio audio.
Correction
Instruct the customer to increase the radio volume while getting the Turn-by-Turn Navigation
direction announcements. You can control the message volume using the radio volume control,
only when the Turn-by-Turn navigation messages are playing.
Some customers that were accustomed to previous model vehicles with the "hard mute" feature
may be dissatisfied with the function of the "soft mute" feature. For those customers, contact the
OnStar(R) Customer Service Center by pushing the Blue OnStar(R) Button to speak to a trained
Advisor and request a change be made to the vehicle from the "soft mute" setting to that of the
hard or complete muting of audio playback during Turn by Turn directions. OnStar(R) will then
create a case number. Advise the customer that the vehicle update should be completed Over the
Air within 5 business days, after which an OnStar(R) Customer Care advisor will follow-up with the
customer to verify the fix. If the customer does not hear back from OnStar(R) within a week, advise
them to press the Blue OnStar(R) Button and ask for Customer Care to check status.

A: Because the Pro-Cut on-car lathe adjusts in a live mode while spinning the hub/rotor, the
dynamics of a floating axle are effectively eliminated. Once the lathe is compensated, there is no
difference in the cutting/surface finish and LRO are just the same as with a non-floating axle.
- Q: Which lathe is essential for performing brake work, the bench or on-car?
A: Dealers must have a well maintained bench lathe and well maintained on-car lathe. These
lathes need to be calibrated on a monthly basis. BOTH lathes are essential to providing quality
brake service.
- Q: What is the expected tip life for an on-car lathe?
A: The geometry and composition of the Pro-Cut tips are designed for "single pass" cutting. When
using the Pro-Cut the cutting depth should be set to take all material needed to get below rust
grooves, eliminate all run-out and resurface the entire disc in a single pass. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381
mm (0.004-0.015 in) will provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. No "skim cut" or
"finish cut" is needed. Failure to follow this procedure will shorten tip life. The Pro-cut tips will last
between 7-12 cuts per corner. With three usable corners, a pair of tips is good for at least 21 cuts.
- Q: Why does GM recommend the use of single pass (referred to as "positive rake") bench and
on-car brake lathes?
A: GM Service and GM Brake Engineering have performed competitive evaluations on a significant
number of bench and on-car brake lathes. These tests measured critical performance
characteristics such as flatness, surface finish and the ability of the lathe to repeat accuracy over
many uses. In each test, single pass lathe designs out performed the competitors. Single pass
brake lathes are more productive requiring less time to perform the same procedure.
- Q: Is it okay to leave the caliper/pads installed while cutting rotors using an on-car lathe?
A: On-car lathes should never be used with the pads and calipers installed on the vehicle. The
debris from cutting the rotors can contaminate the brake pads/calipers which can lead to other
brake concerns and comebacks.
- Q: What information needs to be documented on the Repair Order?
A: Any claim that is submitted using the labor operations in this bulletin, must have the Original
Rotor Thickness and Refinish Rotor Thickness (if refinished) documented on the repair order. For
more information, refer to the "Repair Order Required Documentation" section of this bulletin.
All Warranty Repair Orders paid by GM, are subject to review for compliance and may be debited
where the repair does not comply with this procedure.
Brake Warranty
BRAKE WARRANTY
Brake Rotors:
- Brake rotor warranty is covered under the terms of the GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Reference the vehicle's warranty guide for verification.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced during normal/routine pad replacement.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced and is ineffective in correcting brake squeal type
noises and/or premature lining wear out.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for cosmetic corrosion. Clean up of braking surfaces
can be accomplished by 10-15 moderate stops from 56-64 km/h (35-40 mph) with cooling time
between stops.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for rotor discoloration/hard spots.
- Rotors should be refinished NOT replaced for Customer Pulsation concerns. This condition is a
result of rotor thickness variation, usually caused by LRO (wear induced over time and miles) or
corrosion (Lot Rot).
- When rotor refinishing, only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor
and note that equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake
system using a floating caliper.
- Rotors should be refinished for severe scoring - depth in excess of 1.5 mm (0.060 in).
Important If the scoring depth is more than 1.5 mm (0.060 in) after the rotor is refinished, it should
be replaced.

Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter and
the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow
than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump
located on the bottom of the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel
pump module reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the
correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow
check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed
pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking times.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

is to be made on the vehicle, even with the installation of such non-GM approved components, the
customer is to be made aware of General Motors position on this issue and is to sign the
appropriate goodwill documentation required by General Motors.
It is imperative for dealers to understand that by installing such devices, they are jeopardizing not
only the warranty coverage, but also the performance and reliability of the customer's vehicle.

Accessory DC Power Control Module (APM)
Location
The APM is affixed to and located underneath the PIM. It is fastened to the PIM with external
mounting fasteners and 2 internal high voltage circuit connection fasteners. The APM shares a
coolant passage with the PIM and as such is gasketed to the PIM.
Operating Functions
The APM is the device which converts high voltage (300V) direct current (DC) to low voltage (12V)
DC for accessory electrical operation and to charge the 12 volt accessory battery. The APM also
converts HV DC to intermediate (42V) DC to supply the electric power steering system with
voltage. The APM is capable of supplying up to 175 Amps of 12 volt DC and up to 50 Amps of 42
volt DC. In Jump Assist mode the APM converts 12 volt DC to HV DC to charge the high voltage
hybrid batteries. The APM is capable of supplying up to 2.7 Amps at 290 volts DC on the high
voltage circuit when operating in Jump Assist. An external 12V DC battery charger is required
during the Jump Assist mode because the APM and vehicle controllers may draw as much as 80
Amps of current from the vehicles 12 volt DC system.
Communication and Hosted Diagnostics
The APM has internal diagnostic tests that run at both power-up and during operation. All DTCs
from the APM are reported to and hosted by the HPCM. The APM communicates directly only with
the HPCM and only on the high speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit.
Circuit Inputs
Inputs supported by the APM include the high voltage and 12 volt circuits. The APM also monitors
various internal components for current, voltage and temperature. The APM is also connected to
the high speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit. An individual 12 volt discrete circuit powers
ON the APM. The APM will not begin conversion of voltage however, until the appropriate GMLAN
enable signal is communicated to it by the HPCM.
Circuit Outputs
The only outputs supported by the APM are the 12 volt and 42 volt conversion during normal
vehicle operation and high voltage conversion during Jump Assist.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

This bulletin is being revised to update the models to include full size trucks. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 08-09-41-009 (Section 09 - Restraints).
Technicians may find a DTC B0081 5A in some of the vehicles listed above. The sensing and
diagnostic module (SDM) is setting this DTC due to an issue with the messages in the software for
the SDM.
Technicians should check for DTCs while the ignition is in RUN. If DTC B0081 5A is set in history,
there is no need for any parts replacement. The only way this code is set in history is if the key is
left in ACC for more than 10 seconds. The passenger side tell tale airbag light in the cluster will
stay on solid until the key is in RUN or OFF. For example, the customer will have the car parked,
key in ACC and listening to the radio the light comes on and the DTC B0081 5A sets.
If you are checking the vehicle after this event, you will find DTC B0081 5A in history if the IGN is in
RUN.
If you turn the key to the ACC position for more than 10 seconds with the Tech 2(R) tool
connected, the code will be current as long as you are in the ACC position.
If the key is moved to RUN or OFF, the telltale light will go off and the code will go immediately to
history (reference to PIC4917 DTC B0081 5A In History).
This condition will only occur with the following passenger presence system (PPS) module part
numbers:
^ 25977948 (CK) (All)
^ 94216444 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92221553 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92219364 (G8) (Cloth)
Remember that any time the vehicle is brought into service that the customer could have operated
the vehicle in ACC for more than 10 seconds. This will cause the passenger side airbag light to
come on solid in the cluster. Please tell the customer that this is a normal operating characteristic.
If DTC B0081 5A is current while the ignition is in RUN, please check all connections and wiring.
Check the seat connector located on the right side under the sill plate in the door opening. Pull the
seat out of the vehicle and check for PPS wiring and make sure all connectors are connected.
ThePPS Module has two connections one for the seat harness and one for the sensor mat (the
sensor mat is located between the seat foam cushion and seat pan).
If other DTCs are current, follow the diagnostics in SI. (There are two SDM DTC s related to PPS:
B0081 71 - Passenger Presence System 1 Invalid Serial Data Received and U0170 - Lost
Communication With Restraints System Sensor A (PPS)).

Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

and Prior Saab 9-7X 2000-2005 Saturn L Series 2003-2007 Saturn ION
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to considerably expand the available information on
Radial Force Variation (RFV) and should be reviewed in whole. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Important
- Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven
a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires.
- Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel
assemblies for each vehicle.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation
measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable
tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force
variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads.
Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out
of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three
conditions must be addressed.
Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle,
two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any
imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer,
and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly
balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration.
Before balancing, perform the following procedures.
Tire and Wheel Diagnosis
1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are
centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while
shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick.
3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and
correct as necessary:
- Missing balance weights
- Bent rim flange
- Irregular tire wear
- Incomplete bead seating
- Tire irregularities (including pressure settings)
- Mud/ice build-up in wheel
- Stones in the tire tread
- Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to
diagnosing a smooth road shake condition.
4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a
sufficient distance on a known, smooth road
surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes
are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section
of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration
as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order
(one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high
enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high
to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment.
If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a
throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type
Page 10268
Note
Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it.
5. Release the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the blue locking tabs on both ends of the
connector. Gently slide the TPA up to the
released position on both ends.
6. For the larger terminals insert the J 38125-13A tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool
into the terminal release cavity. For the smaller
terminals insert the J 38125-12A tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the terminal
release cavity. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to
ensure that the correct release tool is used.

Door Lock Striker Adjustment
To determine if striker adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Make certain the door is properly aligned within the door opening before proceeding with the
striker adjustment. 2. Close the door onto the striker and note if the door drags on the striker
causing the door to move upward or downward upon contact with the
striker. Also note the closing effort to fully engage the latch.
3. Using a soft marker, mark around the striker for reference of the original position. Loosen the
striker. 4. Move the striker to eliminate drag on the striker and door latch and to achieve the proper
door position within the door opening. Start with the
up/down position, then position the striker to achieve proper alignment to the door opening. Set the
in/out adjustment for the proper door seal engagement making sure the door closing efforts are
correct. Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage
Warnings/Fastener Caution) .
5. Tighten the striker-to-body bolts to 27 Nm (20 lb ft) .

Backprobe
Note
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
Page 10947
5. Using a micrometer calibrated in thousandths-of-a-millimeter, or ten-thousandths-of-an-inch,
measure and record the scoring depth of any grooves
present on the rotor friction surfaces.
6. Compare the groove scoring depth recorded to the following specification:
Brake rotor maximum allowable scoring: 1.50 mm (0.059 in)
7. If the brake rotor scoring depth exceeds the specification, or if an excessive amount of scoring is
present, the rotor requires refinishing or
replacement.
Brake Rotor Thickness Measurement
Brake Rotor Thickness Measurement Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See: Service
Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Brake Dust Warning)
1. If the inboard friction surface of the brake rotor is not accessible, reposition and support the

Disc Brake Pads Replacement (JH6, JH7)) .
2. Clean the friction surfaces of the brake rotor with denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved
brake cleaner.
3. Using a micrometer calibrated in thousanths-of-a-millimeter, or ten-thousanths-of-an-inch,
measure and record the thickness of the brake rotor at
four or more points, evenly spaced around the rotor. Ensure that the measurements are only taken
within the friction surfaces and that the micrometer is positioned the same distance from the outer
edge of the rotor, about 13 mm (1/2 in) for each measurement.
4. Compare the lowest thickness measurement recorded to the following specifications:
- Brake rotor minimum allowable thickness after refinishing 37.0 mm (1.457 in)
- Brake rotor discard thickness 36.50 mm (1.437 in)
- Brake rotor minimum allowable thickness after refinishing 28.0 mm (1.10 in)

Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B
Date: November 18, 2010
Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

Installation Procedure
Page 19365
Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .

Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being extensively revised to provide technicians and warranty
administrators with an all inclusive guide for wheel alignments. PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT
SERVICE. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-07-009B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Purpose
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide retail, wholesale and fleet personnel with General Motors'
warranty service requirements and recommendations for customer concerns related to wheel
alignment. For your convenience, this bulletin updates and centralizes all of GM's Standard Wheel
Alignment Service Procedures, Policy Guidelines and bulletins on wheel alignment warranty
service.
Important PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING
YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT SERVICE.
The following five (5) key steps are a summary of this bulletin and are REQUIRED in completing a
successful wheel alignment service.
1. Verify the vehicle is in an Original Equipment condition for curb weight, tires, wheels, suspension
and steering configurations. Vehicles
modified in any of these areas are not covered for wheel alignment warranty.
2. Review the customer concern relative to "Normal Operation" definitions. 3. Verify that vehicle is
within the "Mileage Policy" range. 4. Document wheel alignment warranty claims appropriately for
labor operations E2000 and E2020.
The following information must be documented or attached to the repair order:
- Customer concern in detail
- What corrected the customer concern?
- If a wheel alignment is performed:
- Consult SI for proper specifications.
- Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings.
- Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin)
5. Use the proper wheel alignment equipment (preferred with print-out capability), process and the
appropriate calibration maintenance schedules.
Important If it is determined that a wheel alignment is necessary under warranty, use the proper
labor code for the repair. E2000 for Steering Wheel Angle and/or Front Toe set or E2020 for Wheel
Alignment Check/Adjust includes Caster, Camber and Toe set (Wheel alignment labor time for
other component repairs is to be charged to the component that causes a wheel alignment
operation.).
The following flowchart is to help summarize the information detailed in this bulletin and should be

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The heat and cool seat functions for the driver and passenger seats are controlled by the climate
control seat module (CCSM) that is located under the passenger seat cushion. When a driver or
passenger heat or cool seat switch is pressed, a low reference signal is applied through the switch
signal circuit to the door lock/window switch. In response to the switch input, the door lock/window
switch simultaneously illuminates the appropriate heated/cooled switch indicators and sends a
serial data message to the memory seat module (MSM) indicating the heat or cool seat request.
The MSM then sends a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal through the appropriate
heated/cooled seat mode signal circuit to the CCSM. The CCSM then applies battery positive
voltage to the seat cushion and seat back thermal electronic devices (TEDs) and a pre-determined
voltage to the blower motors. To determine seat temperature, the CCSM supplies a 5 V signal and
a low reference to the temperature sensors that are attached to each TED. The temperature
sensors

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to communicate feedback received from engineering
information and add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-64-012B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming

Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.

Attention:
This bulletin DOES NOT apply to vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps.
Condition
Some customers may comment that the low beam headlamp is inoperative.
Correction
DO NOT replace the entire headlamp assembly for this condition.
Replace the bulb and inspect the connector following the procedure below.
1. Remove the lamp assembly, then remove the bulb. Refer to Headlamp Assembly Replacement
in SI. 2. Inspect the connector.
- If the connector is NOT discolored or damaged, replace the bulb only. For bulb part numbers, see
Headlamp Bulb (Low Beam) in Group 02.727 of the appropriate Parts Catalog.
- If the connector is discolored at the bulb interface, replace the connector (service pigtail listed
below) and bulb.
Important Use only Duraseal splice sleeves (salmon, P/N 12089189). Other splice sleeves may not
protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Refer to Splicing Copper
Wire Using Splice Sleeves in SI for splicing procedures.
1. Cut the wires of the connector approximately 45 mm (1-3/4 in) from the connector and splice in
the service pigtail connector. Ensure that
the splices are not above the connector when re-installing.
2. Replace the bulb.
3. Verify that the headlamp is fully functional.

When using the On-Car lathe on vehicles equipped with limited slip (or posi-trac) rear system, it is
critical that the rear drive shaft is disconnected/disengaged prior to operation of the On-Car lathe.
Remember to mark and re-index the drive shaft correctly on re-assembly to prevent creating
driveline vibration. Whenever the lathe drive motor is being switched on, the operator MUST keep
their body out of the wheel well area until the machine has reached its normal operating RPM.
2. Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces.
Important When raising the vehicle on the lift, be sure to have it at a good working height (waist
high is average) to accommodate mounting the On-Car lathe. Optimally, the center piston on the
lathe trolley will be mid-travel. If the lathe trolley center piston is completely compressed (bottoming
out) or inversely fully extended and hanging off the vehicle hub, this could affect the calibration time
of the lathe.
3. Select the correct adapter for the vehicle you're working on and mount it to the hub with the
vehicle lug nuts. Hand tighten 34-41 Nm (25-30 lb
ft) the nuts using equal torque. DO NOT use impact wrenches, excessive torque will damage the
adapter.
Important Ensure the adapter sits flush on the rotor hat surface. Be sure to remove any rust, rotor
retaining clips, etc. that may preclude the adapter from sitting flat on the mounting surface.
4. Connect the lathe to the adapter, turn on the lathe and activate the computer to compensate for
run-out in the hub.
5. Once the computer indicates the compensation process was successful, on the outboard area of
the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth
of an inch into the brake pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools into the rotor until they cut the
rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn.
6. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
7. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same
procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
8. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters
to the zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
9. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit
sandpaper to obtain a non-directional finish.
10. Dismount the lathe, but leave the lathe adapter attached to the vehicle.
6. Once the rotor has been properly machined, wash the rotor with soap and water (use a mild dish
washing soap) or wipe it clean with GM approved
brake cleaner, P/N 88862650 (Canadian P/N 88901247).
Important Thoroughly cleaning the rotor will prevent the possible transfer of finite metal dust left as
a by-product of machining to the pad material during the seating process, thus reducing the
opportunity for squeaks or other noises to occur.
7. ***Record the REFINISHED rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy. Refer
to the "Repair Order Documentation - Rotor
Refinish" section of this bulletin.
8. Setting up to measure for Lateral Run Out (LRO):
Important Measuring for Lateral Run Out (LRO) (steps 8 - 15) is no longer required however, these
steps are being left in the overall procedure as a good check to be performed in the case of a
repeat pulsation complaint. If you are not checking for LRO, go to step 16.
Bench-Type Lathe
1. Ensure that the mating surfaces of the rotor hat section and the hub mating surface are clean
and free of debris.
2. Mount the new, original or refinished rotor onto the vehicle hub.
Important Always hold the rotor on the bottom half so any debris that may be dislodged from the
vents will fall out instead of falling into the mounting area. Any movement or jarring from the rotor
falling over on the studs can release rust from the vents on the rotor.
3. Tilt the top of the rotor in towards the vehicle so you can see the studs and ease the rotor onto
the studs.

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing

Condition
Some customers may comment that the Air Bag Readiness Light is on. There may also be a
Service Air Bag Message on the Driver Information Center (DIC). Upon further investigation, the
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) may be corroded.
Cause
This condition may be caused by an unseated parking brake cable grommet causing water
intrusion under the carpet or vinyl floor, resulting in wet padding. Power washing the vinyl floor
and/or customer snow boots can introduce water to the padding above the SDM area. As the
padding gets wet, water wicks through the padding towards the SDM over time. Over an extended
period of time of constant exposure to water with potential salt/calcium and other elements, the
SDM surface starts to corrode.
Correction
1. Replace the SDM per SI procedures. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic
Module Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect the SDM connector for corrosion. If corrosion is evident,
repair or replace the connector. Refer to SIR/SRS Wiring Repairs in SI. 3. Verify the parking brake
cable grommet is sealed properly.
Important Cut and remove the padding from around the SDM as instructed whenever the SDM is
serviced even if no corrosion is evident to prevent future moisture and corrosion to the SDM and
connector.
4. Cut and remove padding from the area around and above the SDM. Refer to illustration above.
Make an addition cut to remove all of the padding
above the SDM.

information and add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-64-012B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

- If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never
be interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
* Do not replace a control module reporting a U code. The U code identifies which control module
needs to be diagnosed for a communication issue.
* Communication may be available between the BCM and the scan tool with the Powertrain High
Speed GMLAN serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to the BCM using both the high

* An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but not
communicate with the vehicle. When the scan tool attempts to communicate with the vehicle a
message "no CANdi module detected" will be displayed.
* The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the Powertrain High Speed GMLAN
serial data bus.
* Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) and no low speed GMLAN communications with the scan tool.
* The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the high speed GMLAN serial data
bus. These conditions may be caused by the installation of an aftermarket navigation radio module
(see bulletins). Some customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:
- Vehicle will not crank.
- Vehicle cranks but will not start.
- Vehicle stability enhancement system warning lights and messages.
- PRNDL gear indicator position errors.

Aluminum Wheel Refinishing
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Guidelines
Warning
To avoid personal injury when exposed to plastic media blast, hand and/or lathe sanding dust,
primer, color coat, and clearcoat, you must work in a properly ventilated area, wearing an approved
respirator, eye protection, earplugs and protective gloves and clothing.
Evaluating Damage
Note
* Inspect the wheel for corrosion, scrapes, gouges, etc. Damage MUST NOT be deeper than what
can be sanded or polished off.
* Inspect the wheel for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the wheel.
* ALL wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished.
* The re-machining and the re-clear coating of aluminum wheels is not recommended in the dealer
environment due to concerns of repair durability.
* Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the dimensions
and function of the wheel.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing General Recommendations/Options
* Painted aluminum wheels use a primer, color coat, and clearcoat procedure. If the paint is
damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original coatings must be removed
first. Media blasting is recommended. (See option number 1).
* If the clearcoat is damaged, it is possible to refinish with clearcoat only, however, the required
refinishing process cannot be performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinishers
Responsibility (Repair option number 2).
* Re-plating of chrome-plated aluminum wheels is not recommended.
Repair Option Number 1
Material Required/Information Resources
* The Paint Manufacturer's Color Book
* Refer to the latest GM Approved Refinish Materials Booklet (GM 4901 MD-2005) for specific
products for aluminum refinishing.
* To access the booklet, go to www.gmgoodwrench.com. Click on GM Collision Parts. Click on GM
Technical Repair Information, select Paint Shop.
* A Color Compatibility chart is also at this site defining what colors are used on what models.
Note
Chemical strippers are not recommended.
* Refer to specific Paint Manufacturers for refinish procedures and process pertaining to "Aluminum
Refinishing". The procedure requires the wheel surface to be plastic media blasted to remove old
paint or clearcoat.
General Color Selection
* If the wheels being painted were previously clearcoated aluminum, and a painted aluminum look
is desired, using Corsican Silver WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look, or Sparkle Silver
WA9967 for a very bright look. Body color is another option to the customer that may also be used.
* Some specific colors may be recommended on certain models.
* If painting wheels that were previously clearcoated aluminum, it is recommended that all 4 wheels
and their center caps be refinished to maintain color uniformity.
General Refinishing Procedures - Removal
1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle. The tires may remain mounted on the wheels. 2. Remove
the balance weights and mark their locations on the tire. 3. Remove excess grease, etc. from the
wheels with wax and grease remover. 4. Have the wheels plastic media blasted to remove the
clearcoat.
Note
MASK OFF ALL MOUNTING SURFACES, whenever a wheel is refinished. The mounting surface
and the wheel nut contact surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these surfaces
could affect the wheel nut torque.

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
* Verify that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability
conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications ( See: Specifications) for the correct spark plug.
* Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling, replace with a colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage , replace with a hotter plug
* Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage.
- Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1).
- Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should not
move.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, or soot. This is caused by the electrical
charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the terminal post (1) and ground. Inspect for the
following conditions:
- Inspect the spark plug boot for damage.
- Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or
water. A spark plug boot that is saturated will cause arcing to ground.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
Engine Control Module Replacement
Service of the engine control module (ECM) should consist of either replacement of the ECM or
programming of the electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). If the
diagnostic procedures call for the ECM to be replaced, the replacement ECM should be checked to
ensure that the correct part is being used. If the correct part is being used, remove the faulty ECM
and install the new service ECM.
Caution:
* Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the control module connectors and
disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the control module (battery cable, powertrain control
module (PCM)/engine control module (ECM)/transaxle control module (TCM) pigtail, control
module fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal control module damage.
* Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT
contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using
battery booster cables, or when charging the vehicle battery.
* In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the control module, do no
touch the connector pins or the soldered components on the circuit board.
* Remove any debris from around the control module connector surfaces before servicing the
control module. Inspect the control module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the
control module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant
intrusion into the control module.
* The replacement control module must be programmed.
Note
It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programmed
with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100 percent. If the replacement
module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed
at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) from the last oil change.
Removal Procedure
1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine
oil life. 2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection
and Connection (With Single Battery) (See: Starting and
Charging/Battery/Battery Cable/Service and Repair)Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and

Attention:
Complete wheel changing instructions for each vehicle line can be found under Tire and Wheel
Removal and Installation in Service Information (SI). This bulletin is intended to quickly review and
reinforce simple but vital procedures to reduce the possibility of achieving low torque during wheel
installation. Always refer to SI for wheel lug nut torque specifications and complete jacking
instructions for safe wheel changing.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include the 2011 model year and update the available
special tool list. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-03-10-010 (Section 03 Suspension).
Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.

Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following:
* Push to Seat terminals
* Pull to Seat terminals
Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your
terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information.
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.
For cable seal terminals, remove the seal.
2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.
Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal.
3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable
insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.
For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal.
6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.
For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable.
8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack
100 World terminals may damage the terminal.

5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Condition
Some customers may comment on an engine valve lifter tick noise that occurs after the engine has
been shut off for at least two hours. The tick noise may last from two seconds to ten minutes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- Aerated oil in the valve lifter body, resulting in the valve lifter being unable to purge the air quickly.
- A low engine oil level or incorrect oil viscosity.
- Dirty or contaminated oil.
- A low internal valve lifter oil reservoir level.
- Debris in the valve lifter.
- A high valve lifter leak down rate.
Correction
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate the cause of this valve lifter tick noise and normal oil pressure is
noted during the concern, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the engine oil condition and level. Refer to Owner Manual > Service and Appearance
Care > Checking Things Under the Hood >
Description and Operation > Engine Oil in SI.
‹› If the engine oil is more than one quart low, an incorrect oil viscosity is being used or if poor
quality/contamination is observed, change the oil
and filter.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable

Special Tools
J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Bulletin No.: 09-06-04-026B
Date: April 07, 2010
Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009
HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 Equipped with V8 Gas Powered Engines Only
Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle. 2. Go to: Diagnostics and build the vehicle. 3. Select:
Powertrain. 4. Select: Engine. 5. *Select: Engine Control Module or PCM. 6. *Select: Module ID
Information or I/M Information System if the Module ID Information selection is not available. 7. *If

THIS PROGRAM IS IN EFFECT UNTIL APRIL 30, 2011.
Condition
Certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may have a condition in which
the vehicle's OnStar(R) system repeatedly makes incomplete calls to OnStar(R) without the
vehicle's occupant(s) input or knowledge. Customer initiated Blue Button call, Emergency calls,
and Automatic Crash Notification calls will also fail to establish a data connection with the
OnStar(R) Call Center. Eventually, the customer's call will connect as a voice only line and the
customer will be able to talk with an OnStar(R) advisor; however, the advisor will not get crucial
customer data such as vehicle identification and location.
Correction
Dealers/retailers are to replace the OnStar(R) module (VCIM).
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R), and built within
these VIN breakpoints:
Note:
Some model years/models have only one vehicle involved.
Important Dealers/retailers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using
GMVIS (dealers/retailers using WINS) or the Investigate Vehicle History link (dealers/retailers using
GWM). Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.
For dealers/retailers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete
vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will
be provided to dealers/retailers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers/retailers
will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration
Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up
necessary to complete this program is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries.
Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow-up necessary to complete this
program.

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Important The M6 conductive rivet stud as shown, can accommodate a panel thickness range of
0.7-4.2 mm (0.03-0.17 in). If there are layers of sheet metal, they should be touching without any
air gaps to ensure a good ground.
5. Select a M6 conductive rivet stud. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin.
Note Use the GE-50317 rivet stud tool kit.
6. Place the M6 conductive rivet stud (1) in the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole. Assemble the rivet stud tool
(2) with the groove and flare side facing the rivet
stud, then the washer and the M6 nut (3).
7. Using a wrench on the rivet stud tool, and a socket on the M6 nut, secure the M6 conductive
rivet stud. 8. Ensure the rivet stud is securely fastened, WITHOUT ANY detectable movement. 9.
Completely wrap the threads of the rivet stud with painters tape or equivalent.
Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the
installation of the ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and
corrosion-free electrical ground.
10. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and
Repair in SI. 11. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective
material applied to the rivet stud threads. 12. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet
stud threads. 13. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet
stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 14. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

Effective cleaning steps for fabric:
1. Remove any residue by lightly rubbing the surface with a clean towel. 2. Choose the appropriate
stain remover based on the stain type. 3. Spray and lightly brush the area with a clean, soft bristle
brush. 4. Gently blot up the stain. 5. On upholstery/carpet, the use of a fabric protector can help to
reduce or eliminate future staining.
Upholstery and Carpet Stains
When cleaning upholstery and carpet stains ONLY, the following cleaning chart will help you
determine which cleaner/formula works best on a particular stain. The chart lists many of the
common stains. Some complex stains may require the application of both stain removers, one after
the other, to remove both food-based oils and synthetic oils.
A soft bristle brush (P/N 88861425) should be used to safely work the cleaner into the leather grain
or material. This enables the dirt/stain to be completely removed from the material.
Leather Conditioner/Restorer
A Leather Conditioner/Restorer is also available. The restorer is safe for all vinyl and leather. It is a
water-based product and contains essential emollients to restore suppleness, conditions and adds
luster without adding gloss. The restorer will also provide protection against re-staining.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Subject: Information on Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009
and Prior Saab 9-7X 2000-2005 Saturn L Series 2003-2007 Saturn ION
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to considerably expand the available information on
Radial Force Variation (RFV) and should be reviewed in whole. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Important
- Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven
a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires.
- Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel
assemblies for each vehicle.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation
measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable
tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force
variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads.
Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out
of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three
conditions must be addressed.
Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle,
two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any
imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer,
and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly
balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration.
Before balancing, perform the following procedures.
Tire and Wheel Diagnosis
1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are
centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while
shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick.
3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and
correct as necessary:
- Missing balance weights
- Bent rim flange
- Irregular tire wear
- Incomplete bead seating
- Tire irregularities (including pressure settings)
- Mud/ice build-up in wheel
- Stones in the tire tread
- Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to
diagnosing a smooth road shake condition.
4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a
sufficient distance on a known, smooth road
surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes
are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section
of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration
as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order
(one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high
enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high
to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment.
If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a
throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.

GMLAN Repairs
Note
When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must be the
same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be maintained after
the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation) .

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Further Repair for Customer Enthusiasm
Only in situations when the above repairs are completed and the customer is still commenting on
objectionable noise, the following additional steps can be done to sound-proof the body rear panel.
This additional sound-proofing should only be done in cases deemed necessary for customer
enthusiasm.
Note After this procedure has been performed, the vehicle needs to be re-assembled and
evaluated with the trim and rear seat fully installed in the vehicle. If the bulletin has been followed
properly, the noise should be reduced to a level quieter than stock 2011 models, and no further
repairs should be attempted.
It has been found that controlling the wind noise at the two pressure relief valve (PRV) locations is
the key to quieting the rear cab wind noise. The repair below has been found to be successful in
eliminating most of the objectionable noise.
1. R & R the rear seat and any necessary trim to remove the body rear panel insulator. Refer to
Body Rear Panel Insulator Replacement (Extended
Cab/Crew Cab) in SI.

Installation Procedure
Page 7974
Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
Page 7763
After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace
Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing

Dye Transfer: Dye transfer will happen any time a natural fiber like cotton, silk, wool, or suede
comes into contact with leather. The lighter the leather color, the more quickly the dye transfer will
appear. Leather should be cleaned on a regular basis so that the dirt and grime do not adversely
affect the top coat of the leather. After cleaning the leather, it is important to treat the surface with
the restorer.
Extractor Machine and Concentrate
For difficult to clean materials or when cleaning a large area, the best results will be achieved when
using an extractor machine and concentrate. General Motors offers the Ruby Extractor (P/N
627-CC-3000AU) through GM Tools and Equipment 1-800-GM-TOOLS, and has recently released
a concentrate for use with the extractor machine.
Whichever extractor machine is used, it should meet the minimum specifications of the Ruby
Extractor:
Ruby Extractor Specifications:
- Pump PSI: 55
- Water Lift: 85"
- Hose Length: 10 ft
Important The Ruby Extractor also comes with a 6 year Outer Body and 3 year Parts warranty.
Extractor: The Ruby Extractor machine was designed for automotive use and works effectively in
the vehicle's interior. The narrow design of the vacuum head allows detail work in tight areas. The
water pressure pump is reduced so the fabric surface is not wet more than is necessary. The dry
time is greatly reduced due to less water on the fabric surface, the vacuum head making better
contact with the surface and the significant water lift capability of the machine.
Concentrate: The concentrated extraction cleaner is engineered with lower pH levels to help
remove alkaline buildup on fabrics. The concentrate should be mixed according to the instructions
listed on the container. The available concentrate helps to break the stain down and then the stain
is easily removed with less water. The concentrate used in the Ruby Extractor is slightly acidic to
remove soap and alkalinity from the fabric surfaces left behind by using improper, soapy solutions.
Dirt, grease and grime are more easily removed when the proper solution is used during the
extraction process.

When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have been
some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is the
J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to use
the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper diagnosis.
Note
The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical center is
J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:

6. Remove the HO2S (1).
Installation Procedure
Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution) .
2. Install the HO2S (1).
Tighten the sensor to 42 Nm (31 lb ft).

* Various terminated leads for sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) terminal replacement
* Various connector positive assurance (CPA) locks for SIR/SRS connectors
* Base of steering column pigtail connectors part number 12085514
* Yellow vinyl electrical tape
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note
Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.

onto the subject vehicle.
- After match mounting, the tire/wheel assembly must be rebalanced.
If match mounting tires to in-spec wheels produces assembly values higher than these, tire
replacement may be necessary. Replacing tires at lower values will probably mean good tires are
being condemned. Because tires can sometimes become temporarily flat-spotted, which will affect
force variation, it is important that the vehicle be driven at least 16 km (10 mi) prior to measuring.
Tire pressure must also be adjusted to the usage pressure on the vehicle's tire placard prior to
measuring.
Most GM vehicles will tolerate radial force variation up to these levels. However, some vehicles are
more sensitive, and may require lower levels. Also, there are other tire parameters that equipment
such as the Hunter GSP9700 cannot measure that may be a factor. In such cases, TAC should be
contacted for further instructions.
Important
- When mounting a GM wheel to a wheel balancer/force variation machine, always use the wheel's
center pilot hole. This is the primary centering mechanism on all GM wheels; the bolt holes are
secondary. Usually a back cone method to the machine should be used. For added accuracy and
repeatability, a flange plate should be used to clamp the wheel onto the cone and machine. This
system is offered by all balancer manufacturers in GM's dealer program.
- Any type of service equipment that removes tread rubber by grinding, buffing or truing is NOT
recommended, and may void the tire warranty. However, tires may have been ground by the tire
company as part of their tire manufacturing process. This is a legitimate procedure.

Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming

Condition
Some customers may comment about the effort required to shift from 2HI to 4HI in cold ambient
temperatures at -6°C (20°F) or below.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the standard front axle being equipped with conventional mineral
oil axle fluid. In cold ambient temperatures, prior to complete warm up, the fluid viscosity is thick.
This may affect transfer case shift performance prior to full warm up.
Correction
Drain the front axle fluid and refill with GM SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Fluid, P/N 89021677 (in
Canada, 89021678). Refer to Front Axle Lubricant Replacement in SI. It is important to use

Important
If runout is still present, contact the brake lathe supplier.
ON-CAR TYPE LATHE
Use the following procedure to calibrate an On-Car brake lathe:
1. Connect the lathe to a vehicle using the appropriate adapter.
2. Attach a vise-grip dial indicator to a fixed point in the wheel well and bring the dial indicator to a
flat surface on the cutting head.
3. Turn on the lathe and press the "start" button so the lathe begins to compensate.
4. Once compensation is complete, note the runout as measured by the dial indicator. Measured
runout at this point is overstated given that it is
outside the rotor diameter.
5. If runout is in excess of 0.1016 mm (0.004 in) (0.050 mm (0.002 in) as measured within the rotor
diameter), calibration must be tightened. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for tightening the calibration of the lathe. This information is found in the
manual supplied with the lathe.
Important If the machine is taking a long time to compensate during normal use, prior to checking
the lathe calibration, it is recommended that the machine be disconnected from the adapter and the
adapter (still connected to the vehicle) is rotated 180 degrees and the machine reattached. This will
accomplish two things: - It will re-verify the machine is properly attached to the adapter. - It will
change the location of the runout (phase) relative to the machine and thus possibly allow for quick
compensation as a result of the position change.
The following information has been added as a reference to ensure your Pro-Cut PFM lathe
provides a consistent smooth surface finish over long term usage.
Cutting Tips / Depth of Cut / Tip Life
The cutting tips must be right side up. Reference marks always face up. The cutting tips may not
have chips or dings in the surface of the points. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381 mm (0.004-0.015 in) will
provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. When cleaning or rotating the cutting bits,
make sure that the seat area for the tip on the tool is free and clear of debris.
Cutting Head
On each brake job, the technician must center the cutting head for that particular vehicle using one
of the mounting bolt holes on the slide plate. Once the head is centered, it is vital that the
technician use one hand to push the head firmly and squarely back into the dovetail on the slide
plate while using the other hand to tighten the Allen-Hex bolt that secures the head. Failure to do
this could result in chatter occurring during the cut.
Tool Holder Plate (Cutting Head)
The tool holder plate is the plate that the cutting arms are attached to. It can bend or break if a
technician accidently runs the cutting arms into the hub of the rotor while the rotor is turning. (Cuts
of more than 0.508 mm (0.020 in) can also bend this plate). Once bent, the lathe will most likely not
cut properly until the tool holder plate is replaced. In order to verify the condition of the tool holder
plate on a machine that will not cut right, remove the mounting bolt and remove the cutting head
from the slide plate. With the cutting head titled at an angle, lay the long edge of the tool holder
plate down on the flat part of the slide plate. If any gap can be seen between the edge and the slide
plate, the tool holder plate is bent and the source of vibration. Also check to ensure that the cutting
arms are lying flat on the upper side of the tool holder plate. If the mounting arm post is bent, it will
show itself by having the back of the cutting arm lifting off the surface of the tool holder.
Gib Adjustment / Loose Gib
As wear occurs between the slide plate and the box it rides on, you must take up the slack. You do
this by way of a moveable wedge, which we call the gib. Your lathe manual details adjustment
process, which you should perform when required after monthly checks or whenever surface finish
is inconsistent.
Brake Pulsation
BRAKE PULSATION
Brake pulsation is caused by brake rotor thickness variation. Brake rotor thickness variation causes
the piston in the brake caliper, when applied, to "pump" in and out of the caliper housing. The
"pumping" effect is transmitted hydraulically to the brake pedal. Brake pulsation concerns may
result from two basic conditions:

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 06-00-89-029E (Section 00 - General Information).
To keep the vehicle interior looking the best, it should be cleaned often. It is important to keep the
upholstery from becoming heavily soiled. The vehicle's interior can experience extreme heat, which
can cause stains to set quickly. Lighter color interiors may require more frequent cleaning. Care
should be taken because newspapers and garments may transfer color to the vehicle's interior.
Many of today's interiors are made with new low gloss materials. Permanent damage may result
from using cleaners on ANY surfaces (interior trim, instrument panel, carpet, leather, vinyl and
fabric) for which they are not intended. Using non-approved products can actually set the stain to
the point that nothing can remove it.
Important
Do not use silicone or wax-based products or those containing organic solvents (such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.) to clean your vehicle's interior because they can alter the appearance by increasing
the gloss in a non-uniform manner. The increase in gloss may cause annoying reflections in the
windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under certain conditions.
- Never use a STIFF brush or a brush that has been previously used with a harsh chemical. This
can cause damage to the vehicle's interior surfaces.
- Use only mild, Neutral-pH cleaners. Avoid laundry detergents or dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Using too much soap will leave residue that leaves streaks and attracts dirt.
Because it is critical to use only mild, neutral-pH cleaners, General Motors has approved the use of
the cleaners and conditioners listed in this bulletin for the cleaning of interiors. These products are
in the neutral-pH range and will maintain the best vehicle interior appearance. These products are
water-based, biodegradable, and do not contain bleach, solvents or harsh chemicals.
Interior trim pieces on new vehicles, as well as service components, arrive with a protective film.
When removing the protective film, adhesive residue may be left on the trim panels/components.
The cleaner (for leather, vinyl, plastic and interior paint) is an effective cleaner in removing
adhesive residue without causing damage to the component.
Important
- If soapy, alkaline cleaning solutions are used on fabrics, and not thoroughly rinsed out, the
residual left in the fabric will attract dirt. Because the recommended cleaners/conditioners are in the
pH neutral range, they won't leave behind soapy residue.
- On heavily stained or difficult to clean fabric/carpet, it is recommended that the entire surface be
treated and cleaned vs. spot cleaning. Refer to Extractor Machine and Concentrate section of this
bulletin for more information.
Effective cleaning steps for hard and/or plastic surfaces:
1. Using a clean towel, apply/spray cleaner - leather, vinyl, plastic, interior paint, directly onto the
towel. 2. Wipe the surface with the towel/cleaner. 3. If necessary, use a soft bristle brush to work
cleaner into the crevasses of the area being cleaned. 4. Wipe off any excess cleaner from the
surface. 5. Using a clean towel, apply/spray the conditioner (leather, vinyl restorer) directly onto the
towel. 6. Wipe the conditioner onto the previously cleaned area to restore the material to it's
original luster.
Important Today's interiors are developed and intended to have a low-gloss appearance. It is
important to use only products which provide a low-gloss finish in order to maintain the interior's
integrity, customer appeal and satisfaction.

Warning
Do not leave the ignition key in the ON position after the test is performed. Leaving the key in the
ON position may result in an Auto-Start of the engine and possible personal injury.
Note
When performing an engine cylinder compression test for the RPO-LFA engine, note that this
engine has a camshaft position actuator with a late intake valve closing feature and a 29 degree
retard park position. With the actuator parked in a retard position, the effective compression of the
engine is reduced during cranking. Compression values on the gage will be lower than a typical
small block engine that does not have this feature.
1. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. As
required, disable the auto-stop function prior to repair.

Operation/Hybrid Controls/Hybrid Modes of Operation Description) .
2. Ignition key in the OFF position. 3. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully charged. 4.
Disable the fuel and spark by removing the Fuel Pump relay and Powertrain relay. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views (See:
Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) for the Fuse
Block - Underhood Label.
5. Remove the spark plug wires from the spark plugs. 6. Remove all of the spark plugs.
Warning
Do not leave the ignition key in the ON position after the test is performed. Leaving the key in the
ON position may result in an Auto-Start of the engine and possible personal injury.
7. Install a compression gage to the cylinder to be tested. 8. Start with the compression gage at
zero and crank the engine 3-5 seconds using the ignition key. 9. Return the ignition key to the OFF
position.
10. Measure the compression for each cylinder. Record the readings. 11. The minimum
compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest cylinder. For
example, if the highest pressure in any
1 cylinder is 862 kPa (125 psi), the lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 607
kPa (88 psi). (862 kPa x 70% = 607 kPa) (125 psi x 70% = 88 psi).
* Normal - Compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression for each
cylinder.
* Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression builds up with the
following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when you add
oil.
* Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up
on the following strokes. Compression does not improve much when you add oil.
* If 2 adjacent cylinders have lower than normal compression, and injecting oil into the cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause may be a head gasket leaking between the
cylinders.
12. If a cylinder has low compression, inject approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into
the combustion chamber through the spark plug
hole. Measure the compression again and record the reading.
13. Reinstall the Fuel Pump relay and Powertrain relay. 14. Using the scan tool, clear all diagnostic
codes.

CMP Actuator System Performance Diagnostic
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the performance of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator system by monitoring the calibrated desired position and the actual position of the
camshaft, through the 4X signal of the CMP sensor. If the difference between the actual and the
desired position is greater than a calibrated angle for a calibrated amount of time, DTC P0011 will
set.

13. Use the tire changer in order to install the tire to the wheel.
Caution:
To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when
the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any
tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, lubricate
the beads and reinflate. Overinflating may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal
injury.
Important:
Allowable bead seating pressure is 345 kPa (50 psi) on Extended Mobility Tires.
14. Inflate the tire until it passes the bead humps. Be sure that the valve core is not installed at this
time.
15. Install the valve core to the valve core stem.
16. Inflate the tire to the proper air pressure.
17. Ensure that the locating rings are visible on both sides of the tire in order to verify that the tire
bead is fully seated on the wheel.

Compass
The driver information center (DIC) displays the compass based on serial data message from the
BCM. The compass module communicates with the body control module (BCM) through a
bi-directional data circuit. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives compass information from
the BCM via the serial data circuit. The compass is displayed in the DIC with other vehicle
information and is at the bottom line of the DIC. The compass display shows "- -" when a
malfunction is present with the compass module or a compass serial data communication fault
exists. The compass displays 'CAL' or 'C' when the compass needs to be calibrated. Cycle the
ignition before performing the compass magnetic variation adjustment procedure.
Check that the compass module is properly installed in the vehicle since this may cause the
compass to malfunction. The embossed arrow on the top of the compass module should be parallel
to the centerline of the vehicle.
Outside Air Temperature
The Outside Air Temperature is sent via the serial data circuit from the BCM to the IPC. It is
displayed in the lower left corner of the DIC. It is displayed in the English and Metric units

SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note
Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.

Backprobe
Note
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.

Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL 2008-2009 HUMMER H2
Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

Engine Oil: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE OIL
Look for three things:
1. Use only an oil that meets GM Standard GM6094M.
2. Temperatures above -20°F (-29°C), SAE 5W-30 is best for the vehicle. These numbers on an oil
container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-40,
SAE 20W-50 or any other viscosity grade oil not recommended.
3. American Petroleum Institute (API) starburst symbol
Oils meeting these requirements should have the starburst symbol on the container. This symbol
indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
Notice: Use only engine oil identified as meeting GM Standard GM6094M and showing the
American Petroleum Institute Certified For Gasoline Engines starburst symbol. Failure to use the
recommended oil can result in engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty.
COLD TEMPERATURE OPERATION If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls
below -20°F (-29°C), use either an SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil or an SAE 0W-30 engine oil. Both
provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. Always use an oil that
meets the required specification, GM6094M.
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES / ENGINE OIL FLUSHES Do not add anything to the oil. The
recommended oils with the starburst symbol that meet GM Standard GM6094M are all that is
needed for good performance and engine protection.
Engine oil system flushes are not recommended and could cause engine damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty.

Fuel: Testing and Inspection Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Without Special Tool)
Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (without Special Tool)
Description
Water contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation,
stalling, no start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water may collect near a single fuel injector
at the lowest point in the fuel injection system, and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel
system is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust, or deterioration.
Alcohol concentrations of 10 percent or greater in fuel can be detrimental to fuel system
components. Alcohol contamination may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber
components, and subsequent fuel filter restriction. Some types of alcohol are more detrimental to
fuel system components than others. Ethanol is commonly used in gasoline, but in concentrations
of no more than 10 percent. Some fuels, such as E85, contain a very high percentage of ethanol.
Fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation, lack
of power, stalling, or no start.
Alcohol in Fuel Testing Procedure
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank
will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If alcohol contamination is suspected then
use the following procedure to test the fuel quality.
1. Using a 100 ml (3.4 oz) specified cylinder with 1 ml (0.03 oz) graduation marks, fill the cylinder
with fuel to the 90 ml (3.04 oz) mark. 2. Add 10 ml (0.34 oz) of water in order to bring the total fluid
volume to 100 ml (3.4 oz) and install a stopper. 3. Shake the cylinder vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
4. Carefully loosen the stopper in order to release the pressure. 5. Re-install the stopper and shake
the cylinder vigorously again for 10-15 seconds. 6. Put the cylinder on a level surface for
approximately 5 minutes in order to allow adequate liquid separation.
If alcohol is present in the fuel, the volume of the lower layer, which would now contain both alcohol
and water, will be more than 10 ml (0.34 oz). For example, if the volume of the lower layer is
increased to 15 ml (0.51 oz), this indicates at least 5 percent alcohol in the fuel. The actual amount
of alcohol may be somewhat more because this procedure does not extract all of the alcohol from
the fuel.
Particulate Contaminants in Fuel Testing Procedure
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank
will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If the sample appears cloudy, or
contaminated with water, as indicated by a water layer at the bottom of the sample, use the
following procedure to diagnose the fuel.
1. Using an approved fuel container, draw approximately 0.5 liter (0.13 gal) of fuel. 2. Place the
cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes in order to allow settling of the particulate
contamination.
Particulate contamination will show up in various shapes and colors. Sand will typically be identified
by a white or light brown crystals. Rubber will appear as black and irregular particles. If particles
are found clean the entire fuel system thoroughly.

Service and Repair
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer toSIR Identification Views (See: Air Bag Systems/Locations) .
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose inflator modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 91 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any Inflatable restraint air bag module
* Inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
* Any Inflatable restraint sensor
* Inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioners
* Inflatable restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) module or sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note
The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See: Air
Bag Systems/Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams)
orElectrical Center Identification Views (See: Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse
Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) .

Important Installation of an electric brake controller and the wiring connections outlined in this
bulletin are the responsibility of the dealership or customer. These repairs should never be charged
to warranty. If you have any questions, please consult with your District Service Manager.
Some customers may request to have an aftermarket trailer brake controller added to their vehicle,
OR in lieu of the factory integrated trailer brake controller (ITBC) (RPO JL1).
Installation Instructions
Starting with the new 2007 full-size utilities and pickups and 2008 HUMMER H2, there is no longer
an electric trailer brake controller pigtail harness.
To install an aftermarket trailer brake controller, use the four blunt cut wires located near the data
link connector.
The following steps should be used to complete the installation.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
1. Place the terminal on the larger of the two studs at the front of the electrical center and secure
with an M8 nut. This is circuit #242 to stud #2, to
power the aftermarket trailer brake controller.
Important The fuse is already present in the vehicle to power the electrical trailer brake controller
system.
2. ONLY For Vehicles Equipped with JL1 - Locate connector X126 or X115 (varies with vehicle
build; refer to SI) near the underhood fuse block.
Refer to SI Document ID# 1849049 - I/P Harness-Engine Compartment. Circuit 47 from the blunt

Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions )provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the engine control module (ECM) supplies power to the in-tank fuel
pump, by energizing the fuel pump relay. The in-tank fuel pump remains ON as long as the engine
is cranking or running and the ECM receives crankshaft reference pulses. If there are no reference
pulses, the ECM turns the in-tank fuel pump OFF, 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON
or 2 seconds after the engine stops running. The electric fuel pump is incorporated into the modular
fuel pump and sender assembly and is located inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies fuel
through a fuel filter, also located in the modular fuel pump and sender assembly, through the fuel
feed pipes, to the fuel rail assembly. The fuel pump provides fuel at a pressure above the pressure
needed by the fuel injectors. The fuel pressure regulator, located in the modular fuel pump and
sender assembly, keeps the fuel available to the fuel injectors at a regulated pressure. When the
fuel pressure rises above the pressure regulator calibration, the pressure is relieved, with excess
fuel exhausted into the modular fuel pump and sender assembly reservoir.

UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Description and Operation
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance
enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) control, a wider engine torque range, improved gas mileage, and improved
engine idle stability. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of
intake and exhaust valve overlap. For the 6.0 liter (LFA) engine, the park position for the CMP
actuator and camshaft is 14.5 degrees after top dead center (ATDC), or 29 crankshaft degrees
ATDC. The engine control module (ECM) can only command the CMP actuator to advance the
valve timing from the park position, or retard the valve timing back to the park position. The total
range of valve timing authority is 23 degrees camshaft rotation, or 46 degrees of crankshaft
rotation. The control range is from the park position of 14.5 degrees camshaft, or 29 degrees
crankshaft ATDC, to 8.5 degrees camshaft or 17 degrees crankshaft before top dead center
(BTDC).
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the control module. The control
module sends a pulse width modulated 12-volt signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control
the amount of engine oil flow to a camshaft actuator passage. There are 2 different passages for oil
to flow through, a passage for CAM advance and a passage for CAM retard. The camshaft actuator
is attached to the front of the camshaft, and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle
of the camshaft relative to crankshaft position (CKP). Engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity,
temperature, engine oil level, and aftermarket engine oil additives can have an adverse affect on
camshaft phaser performance.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Circuit Diagnostic
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the control circuit of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator solenoid for electrical faults. The control module has the ability to determine if a control
circuit is open, shorted high, or shorted low. If the control module detects a fault with the CMP
actuator solenoid control, DTC P0010 will set.

Verify Original Equipment Condition of the Vehicle
- Verify that Original Equipment Tires and Wheels or Official GM Accessory Tires and Wheels are
on the vehicle.
- Verify that aftermarket suspension "Lift" or "Lowering" Kits or other suspension alterations have
NOT been done to the vehicle.
- Check for accidental damage to the vehicle; for example, severe pothole or curb impacts, collision
damage that may have affected the wheel alignment of the vehicle; e.g., engine cradles,
suspension control arms, axles, wheels, wheel covers, tires may show evidence of damage/impact.
- Check to be sure vehicle has seen "Normal Use" rather than abuse; e.g., very aggressive driving
may show up by looking at the tires and condition of the vehicle.
- Check for other additional equipment items that may significantly affect vehicle mass such as
large tool boxes, campers, snow plow packages (without the snowplow RPO), etc., especially in
trucks and cutaway/incomplete vehicles. Significant additional mass can affect trim height and
wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed
semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of
these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with
equipment such as the above.)
Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy"
Possible Concerns
The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service:
1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of
effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle's straight heading."
Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle
Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull
concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare
circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered
"Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that
this is "Normal Operation."
Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a
level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is
"steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel.
2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined
as the steering wheel angle (clocking)
deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road.
3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the
shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and
should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of
the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled
mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the
customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from
aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition.
Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is
"normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can
show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance
and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance
records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

H2 SUT Built Between April, 2008 and May, 2009
Condition
Some customers may comment that the memory function of the memory seats becomes
inoperative after an air bag deployment. Vehicles built between of April 2008 and May, 2009 that
have incurred an air bag deployment will no longer have seat memory functionality. The memory
set and recall features will exhibit no automatic recalls, and no set or recall through the memory
switches, along with no audible feedback. The driver seat/column/pedal can still be moved with the
appropriate switches. The heat/cool functionality is not affected.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the air bag deployed flag getting permanently stored in the
memory seat module.
Correction
Reprogram the Memory Seat Module (MSM) with the latest software calibration.
Important Select the correct calibration files for the appropriate vehicle configuration (body style)
and RPO codes.
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the MSM using the Service Programming System (SPS) with the latest software available on

On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.

The pins that retain the handle to the base at its forward pivot point can be pulled out of the base
(The handle does not fall off of the vehicle). This occurs in hot temperatures when the handle is
pulled in an outboard and rearward motion when opening the door.
Correction
A new clip has been designed to prevent the legs of the fork area of the handle from collapsing and
letting the handle pull out. Use the following procedure to install the clip into the outside door
handle assembly.
1. Remove the outside door handle that is experiencing the concern.
- Use the published procedure in SI for Front Side Door Outside Handle Replacement for front door
handle service.
- Use the published procedure in SI for Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement for rear door
handle service.
2. With the back of the handle assembly exposed, reposition the handle to properly engage the
pivot pins into the handle base. With the handle pivot
pins properly engaged, install the service clip (1).

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Only)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior
Saturn and Saab 2002 and Prior Isuzu
Attention:
This bulletin has been created to address potential issues and questions regarding KeyCode
security. This bulletin should be read by all parties involved in KeyCode activity, including dealer
operator, partner security coordinator, sales, service and parts departments. A copy of this bulletin
should be printed and maintained in the parts department for use as a reference.
Important U.S. dealers should refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 10-00-89-009.
Where Are Key Codes Located?
General Motors provides access to KeyCodes through three sources when a vehicle is delivered to
a dealer. Vehicle KeyCodes are located on the original vehicle invoice to the dealership. There is a
small white bar coded tag sent with most new vehicles that also has the key code printed on it.
Dealerships should make a practice of comparing the tag's keycode numbers to the keycode listed
on the invoice. Any discrepancy should be reported immediately to the GM of Canada Key Code
Inquiry Desk. Remember to remove the key tag prior to showing vehicles to potential customers.
The third source for Key codes is through the GM KeyCode Look-Up feature within the
OEConnection D2DLink application. KeyCode Look-Up currently goes back 17 previous model
years from the current model year.
When a vehicle is received by the dealership, care should be taken to safeguard the original
vehicle invoice and KeyCode tag provided with the vehicle. Potential customers should not have
access to the invoice or this KeyCode tag prior to the sale being completed. After a sale has been
completed, the KeyCode information belongs to the customer and General Motors.
Tip
Only the original invoice contains key code information, a re-printed invoice does not.
GM KeyCode Look-Up Application for GM of Canada Dealers

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Specifications
Compression Check: Specifications
The minimum compression in any one cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. For example, if the highest pressure in any one cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest
allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). Multiply the highest cylinder
pressure by 70 percent, 1035 kPa x 70 percent = 725 kPa (150 psi x 70 percent = 105 psi), in order
to determine the lowest allowable pressure in any other cylinder.

Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .

J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the parts information for the utilities. Please
discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-50-018D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Important Implementation of this service bulletin by all dealers requires prior District Service
Manager (DVM) (in Canada, the Warranty Manager) approval.
Condition
Some customers may comment on excessive lint accumulation on the cloth seat material. Darker
colored seat fabric seems to show the condition more than lighter fabrics.
Cause
The source of the lint accumulation is not the seat fabric material. The seat material, though,
exhibits a tendency to accumulate and retain lint from sources that come into contact with the
fabric.
Correction
Important All seats will need to be updated in the vehicle. Let customers with RPO 19D know that
the appearance of the insert material will be noticeably different.
If the customer has ebony colored cloth seats, replace the seat covers (back and cushion), the
headrests and the armrests with revised fabric. Refer to SI for the appropriate seat back and
cushion cover, headrest and armrest replacement procedures.

Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2002-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL All Equipped with 8.25"
Front Axle
Condition
Some customers may comment about whine or click type noises from the front axle. Upon further
investigation, disassembly of the front differential may reveal chipped pinion or ring gear teeth.
Cause
This condition may be caused by an oversize front bearing side adjuster lock ring allowing the
adjuster to move.
New Design Lock Adjusters Vs Old Design T-Lock Adjusters
Note
Front axle housings for old-style (Classic - GMT800) and new-style (GMT900) vehicles are not
interchangeable.
The new design eliminates the side bearing adjusters movement. The lock adjusters are retained
by a pressed in lock ring that maintains the adjuster setting for backlash and side bearing preload.
All front axle housings for all model years will use the new design adjusters, and use the new lock
ring.
The t-lock adjusters are still available, but if a housing replacement is needed, it is necessary to
order the lock ring style housing, two of the new adjusters and two of the lock rings. Part numbers
are available through the GM Parts catalog.
A newly designed 8.25" front axle is in production. The new design eliminates the t-lock side
bearing adjusters. The new adjusters are retained by a pressed in lock ring that maintains the
adjuster setting for backlash and side bearing preload. This design was phased into production
during September, 2006. As a result, in the 2007 model year, both old-style (Classic - GMT800)
and new-style (GMT900) vehicles built before the change have the t-lock design adjusters, and
both types of vehicles built after the change have the lock ring design adjusters.
Correction
If no damage is visible and the concern was a whine or click noise, follow the inspect procedure in
this bulletin and replace the lock ring. Complete assembly replacement is not necessary if an
oversized slipping lock ring was found.
Important The bearing adjuster lock rings are not reusable.

Aluminum Wheel Bead Seat Corrosion (Clean and Resurface Wheel Bead Seat)
Models:
2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or
weeks.
Cause
Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat.
There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and
this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear
continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the
environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may
appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be
visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in
an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum
Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant)
Correction
In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below.
Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to
repair the wheel with the procedure below.
Notice
The repair is no longer advised or applicable for chromed aluminum wheels.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly for diagnosis. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and
Installation in SI. 2. After a water dunk tank leak test, if you determine the source of the air leak to
be around the bead seat of the wheel, dismount the tire to examine
the bead seat. Shown below is a typical area of bead seat corrosion.Typical Location of Bead Seat

9. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting a small flat-bladed tool into the small
slot in the end of the slider and pushing on the
TPA until it comes out of the connector. When the TPA exits the opposite side of the connector,
gasp the TPA and pull it completely out of the connector.
10. Push the wire side of the terminal that is being removed toward the connector and hold it in
position.
11. Insert the J 38125-560 into the 2 triangular cavities on each side of the terminal at the front of
the connector. See the release tool cross reference in
the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
12. Carefully pull the terminal out of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling
a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is
difficult to remove, repeat the entire procedure.
Terminal Repair Procedure
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125 .
Terminal Replacement Procedure

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

3. Place a protective cover over the carpet below the evaporator core. 4. Remove the cabin air
filter, if equipped, and cover the opening prior to applying the Cooling Coil Coating, as the product
may clog the filter. If the
cabin air filter appears to have little or no remaining life, suggest a replacement to your customer.
5. If the HVAC module has a blower motor cooling tube, be careful NOT TO SPRAY THE
COOLING COIL COATING INTO THE
BLOWER MOTOR COOLING TUBE.
6. Attach the Flexible Applicator Pressure Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) to a compressed air line
operating at 586 kPa (85 psi) to 793 kPa (115 psi). 7. Shake the bottle of Cooling Coil Coating well.
Screw the bottle onto the cap on the applicator tool's pick-up tube.
Note The pick-up tube is designed for 120 ml (4 oz) and 240 ml (8 oz) bottles and should coil
slightly in the bottom of a 120 ml (4 oz) bottle.
8. Use one of the following three methods to apply the Cooling Coil Coating.
Important If the Pressure Applicator Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) is not available, the Cooling Coil
Coating is also available in an aerosol can (P/N 12377951 (in Canada, 10953503)).
Application Through Blower Motor Control Module Opening
- Remove the blower motor control module (blower motor resistor). Refer to the applicable
procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor blower
motor control module (blower motor resistor) opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor blower motor control module (blower
motor control module).
Application Through Blower Motor Opening
- Remove the blower motor. Refer to the applicable blower motor removal procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor.
Application Through a Hole in the HVAC Module
- If neither of the two previous application methods are available, it may be necessary to drill a hole
in the HVAC module.
- Locate an area of the HVAC module between the blower motor and the evaporator core. Drill a 10
mm (3/8 in) hole in the HVAC module. Use caution to keep the drill clear of the evaporator core and
the blower motor fan.
- With the air distribution vents closed and the blower motor fan speed on HIGH, insert the
applicator tool into the hole and spray the Cooling Coil Coating into the airstream toward the
evaporator core.
- Use a GM approved RTV sealant to plug the hole in the HVAC module.
9. After the Cooling Coil Coating application is complete, start and run the vehicle for approximately
10 minutes, with the compressor disabled,
HVAC mode set to Recirculate/Max, heat set to full warm, blower motor fan speed on high, and
one window open approximately 12 mm (1/2 in). This cures the Cooling Coil Coating onto the
evaporator core surface.
10. While the engine is running, rinse the applicator tool with warm water to prolong the life of the
tool. Be sure to spray warm water through the
nozzle to rinse out any residual Cooling Coil Coating still in the capillary pick up tube, otherwise it
will dry and clog the applicator tool. Also remove the small green valve from the bottle cap and
rinse it thoroughly while rolling it between two fingers and then reinstall it. If this valve is clogged ,
the Cooling Coil Coating will not flow through the applicator tool.
11. Shut off the engine and enable the compressor again. 12. Verify proper HVAC system
operation. 13. Remove the protective cover from inside the vehicle. 14. Remove the drain pan from
underneath the vehicle. 15. Reinstall the cabin air filter if necessary.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003
Date: May 12, 2008
Subject: Warranty Reduction - Transfer of Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors to
Replacement Wheels and Allowable TPM Sensor Replacements
Models: 2000-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Wheels/Tires - Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
Wheels: All Technical Service Bulletins Wheels/Tires - Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 99-08-51-007E
Date: March 17, 2011
Subject: Refinishing Aluminum Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add additional model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-08-51-007D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
This bulletin updates General Motor's position on refinishing aluminum wheels. GM does not
endorse any repairs that involve welding, bending, straightening or re-machining. Only cosmetic
refinishing of the wheel's coatings, using recommended procedures, is allowed.
Evaluating Damage
In evaluating damage, it is the GM Dealer's responsibility to inspect the wheel for corrosion,
scrapes, gouges, etc. The Dealer must insure that such damage is not deeper than what can be
sanded or polished off. The wheel must be inspected for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the
wheel. Any wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished. Wheels that have been
refinished by an outside company must be returned to the same vehicle. The Dealer must record
the wheel ID stamp or the cast date on the wheel in order to assure this requirement. Refer to
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later in this bulletin.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Recommendations
- Chrome-plated aluminum wheels Re-plating these wheels is not recommended.
- Polished aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them. If the
clearcoat is damaged, refinishing is possible. However, the required refinishing process cannot be
performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company later
in this bulletin.
- Painted aluminum wheels These wheels are painted using a primer, color coat, and clearcoat
procedure. If the paint is damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original
coatings must be removed first. Media blasting is recommended. Refer to GM Aluminum
Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for the re-painting of this type of wheel.
- Bright, machined aluminum wheels These wheels have a polyester or acrylic clearcoat on them.
In some cases, the recessed "pocket" areas of the wheel may be painted. Surface refinishing is
possible. The wheel must be totally stripped by media blasting or other suitable means. The wheel
should be resurfaced by using a sanding process rather than a machining process. This allows the
least amount of material to be removed.
Important Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the
dimensions and function of the wheel.
Painting is an option to re-clearcoating polished and bright machined aluminum wheels. Paint will
better mask any surface imperfections and is somewhat more durable than clearcoat alone. GM
recommends using Corsican SILVER WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look or Sparkle
SILVER WA9967 for a very bright look. As an option, the body color may also be used. When using
any of the painting options, it is recommended that all four wheels be refinished in order to maintain
color uniformity. Refer to GM Aluminum Refinishing Bulletin #53-17-03A for specific procedures
and product recommendations.
Refinisher's Responsibility - Outside Company
Important Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. Such refinished wheels
will be permanently marked by the refinisher and are warranted by the refinisher. Any process that
re-machines or otherwise re-manufactures the wheel should not be used.
A refinisher's responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the equivalent.
Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any kind is
allowed. The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process in order to
assure that the same wheel is returned. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the
wheel. Hand and/or lathe sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed.
Material removal, though, must be kept to a minimum. Re-machining of the wheel is not allowed.
Paint and/or clear coat must not be present on the following surfaces: the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel
and warrant the painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the
new vehicle warranty, whichever is

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Condition, Cause and Correction
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-05-001H (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition 1
Some customers may comment on a pinging/popping/snapping noise from underneath the vehicle
at idle or immediately after the vehicle is shut off. Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust
system during cool down is a normal condition. The noise may be intermittent depending on the
outside temperature and or temperature of the exhaust system at the time of testing.
Cause 1
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping
As the exhaust system cools, the muffler shell and muffler internals contract at different rates.
Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust system during cool down is a normal condition.
Correction 1
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping Noise (Normal)
This condition is normal to the muffler design and does not indicate poor quality or part failure. No
repairs are necessary for this condition. Replacing the muffler heat shield straps will NOT eliminate
this noise. A new muffler may sound quiet for this condition, but as it ages may again produce this
same condition.
Condition 2
Some customers may also comment on a buzz noise coming from the muffler during vehicle
operation.
Cause 2
Muffler Heat Shield Buzz
If the muffler heat shield straps are loose, the heat shield may be free to buzz during vehicle
operation.

5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 09-04-19-001
Date: April 28, 2009
Subject: Whine or Click Type Noises from Front Axle/New Design Front Axle Side Bearing
Adjusters (Inspect/Replace with New Lock Rings)
Models:
2002-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2002-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche,
Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2002-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL All Equipped with 8.25"
Front Axle
Condition
Some customers may comment about whine or click type noises from the front axle. Upon further
investigation, disassembly of the front differential may reveal chipped pinion or ring gear teeth.
Cause
This condition may be caused by an oversize front bearing side adjuster lock ring allowing the
adjuster to move.
New Design Lock Adjusters Vs Old Design T-Lock Adjusters
Note
Front axle housings for old-style (Classic - GMT800) and new-style (GMT900) vehicles are not
interchangeable.
The new design eliminates the side bearing adjusters movement. The lock adjusters are retained
by a pressed in lock ring that maintains the adjuster setting for backlash and side bearing preload.
All front axle housings for all model years will use the new design adjusters, and use the new lock
ring.
The t-lock adjusters are still available, but if a housing replacement is needed, it is necessary to
order the lock ring style housing, two of the new adjusters and two of the lock rings. Part numbers
are available through the GM Parts catalog.
A newly designed 8.25" front axle is in production. The new design eliminates the t-lock side
bearing adjusters. The new adjusters are retained by a pressed in lock ring that maintains the
adjuster setting for backlash and side bearing preload. This design was phased into production
during September, 2006. As a result, in the 2007 model year, both old-style (Classic - GMT800)
and new-style (GMT900) vehicles built before the change have the t-lock design adjusters, and
both types of vehicles built after the change have the lock ring design adjusters.
Correction
If no damage is visible and the concern was a whine or click noise, follow the inspect procedure in
this bulletin and replace the lock ring. Complete assembly replacement is not necessary if an
oversized slipping lock ring was found.
Important The bearing adjuster lock rings are not reusable.

If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

occur on any of the four outside door handles on the vehicle. This condition is more prevalent in
warmer climates.
Cause
The pins that retain the handle to the base at its forward pivot point can be pulled out of the base
(The handle does not fall off of the vehicle). This occurs in hot temperatures when the handle is
pulled in an outboard and rearward motion when opening the door.
Correction
A new clip has been designed to prevent the legs of the fork area of the handle from collapsing and
letting the handle pull out. Use the following procedure to install the clip into the outside door
handle assembly.
1. Remove the outside door handle that is experiencing the concern.
- Use the published procedure in SI for Front Side Door Outside Handle Replacement for front door
handle service.
- Use the published procedure in SI for Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement for rear door
handle service.
2. With the back of the handle assembly exposed, reposition the handle to properly engage the
pivot pins into the handle base. With the handle pivot
pins properly engaged, install the service clip (1).

Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Important The M6 conductive rivet stud as shown, can accommodate a panel thickness range of
0.7-4.2 mm (0.03-0.17 in). If there are layers of sheet metal, they should be touching without any
air gaps to ensure a good ground.
5. Select a M6 conductive rivet stud. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin.
Note Use the GE-50317 rivet stud tool kit.
6. Place the M6 conductive rivet stud (1) in the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole. Assemble the rivet stud tool
(2) with the groove and flare side facing the rivet
stud, then the washer and the M6 nut (3).
7. Using a wrench on the rivet stud tool, and a socket on the M6 nut, secure the M6 conductive
rivet stud. 8. Ensure the rivet stud is securely fastened, WITHOUT ANY detectable movement. 9.
Completely wrap the threads of the rivet stud with painters tape or equivalent.
Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the
installation of the ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and
corrosion-free electrical ground.
10. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and
Repair in SI. 11. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective
material applied to the rivet stud threads. 12. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet
stud threads. 13. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet
stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 14. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

Valve Deactivation Solenoid: Description and Operation
Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) System Description
To provide maximum fuel economy under light load driving conditions, the engine control module
(ECM) will command the cylinder deactivation system ON to deactivate engine cylinders 1, 7, 6,
and 4, switching to a V4 mode. The engine will operate on 8 cylinders or V8 mode, during engine
starting, engine idling, and medium to heavy throttle applications.
When cylinder deactivation is commanded, the ECM will determine what cylinder is firing, and
begin deactivation on the next closest deactivated cylinder in firing order sequence. For example, if
cylinder number 1 is on its combustion event when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the
next cylinder in the firing order sequence that can be deactivated is cylinder number 7. If cylinder
number 5 is on its combustion event when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the next
cylinder in the firing order sequence that can be deactivated is cylinder number 4.
Cylinder deactivation is accomplished by not allowing the intake and exhaust valves to open on the
selected cylinders by using special valve lifters. The deactivation lifters contain spring loaded
locking pins that connect the internal pin housing of the lifter to the outer housing.
The pin housing contains the lifter plunger and pushrod seat which interfaces with the pushrod. The
outer housing contacts the camshaft lobe through a roller. During V8 mode, when all cylinders are
active, the locking pins are pushed outward by spring force, locking the pin housing and outer
housing together causing the lifter to function as a normal lifter. When cylinder deactivation is
commanded ON, the locking pins are pushed inward with engine oil pressure directed from the
valve lifter oil manifold (VLOM) assembly solenoids. When the lifter pin housing is unlocked from
the outer housing, the pin housing will remain stationary, while the outer housing will move with the
profile of the camshaft lobe, which results in the valve remaining closed. One VLOM solenoid
controls both the intake and exhaust valves for each deactivating cylinder. There are 2 distinct oil
passages going to each cylinder deactivation lifter bore, one for the hydraulic lash-adjusting feature
of the lifter, and one for controlling the locking pins used for cylinder deactivation.
Although both intake and exhaust valve lifters are controlled by the same solenoid in the VLOM,
the intake and exhaust valves do not become deactivated at the same time. Cylinder deactivation
is timed so that the cylinder is on an intake event. During an intake event, the intake CAM lobe is
pushing the valve lifter upwards to open the intake valve against the force of the valve spring. The
force exerted by the valve spring is acting on the side of the lifter locking pins, preventing them
from moving until the intake valve has closed. When the intake valve lifter reaches the base circle
of the

Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL 2008-2009 HUMMER H2
Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent

Installation Procedure
Page 8761
Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .

Charging System: Description and Operation
Charging System Description and Operation
12-Volt Battery
The following information is for the 12-Volt battery only.
For information about charging the high voltage drive motor batteries, refer toJump Assist
Description and Operation (See: Hybrid Drive Systems/Battery System, Hybrid Drive/Description
and Operation/Jump Assist) .
Electrical Power Management (EPM) Overview
The electrical power management (EPM) system is designed to monitor and control the charging
system and send diagnostic messages to alert the driver of possible problems. This EPM system
primarily utilizes existing on-board computer capability to maximize the effectiveness of the
charging system, manage the load, improve battery state-of-charge and life, and minimize the
system's impact on fuel economy. The EPM system performs 3 functions:
* It monitors the battery voltage and estimates the battery condition.
* It takes corrective actions by adjusting the regulated voltage.
* It performs diagnostics and driver notification.
The battery condition is estimated during ignition off and during ignition on. During ignition off the
state-of-charge (SOC) of the battery is determined by measuring the open-circuit voltage. The SOC
is a function of the acid concentration and the internal resistance of the battery, and is estimated by
reading the battery open circuit voltage when the battery has been at rest for several hours.
The SOC can be used as a diagnostic tool to tell the customer or the dealer the condition of the
battery. Throughout ignition-on, the algorithm continuously estimates SOC based on adjusted net
amp hours, battery capacity, initial SOC, and temperature.
While running, the battery degree of discharge is primarily determined by a battery current sensor,
which is integrated to obtain net amp hours.
In addition, the EPM function is designed to perform regulated voltage control (RVC) to improve
battery SOC, battery life, and fuel economy. This is accomplished by using knowledge of the
battery SOC and temperature to set the charging voltage to an optimum battery voltage level for
recharging without detriment to battery life.
Charging System Components
Drive Motor/Generators
The drive motor/generators are serviceable components located within the transmission housing.
When the rotors are spun, an alternating current (AC) is induced into the stator windings. This AC
voltage is then sent to the drive motor generator power inverter module (PIM) where it is converted
to high voltage direct current (DC) power. The output of the PIM is converted into low voltage
electrical power by the accessory DC power converter module (APM) for use by the vehicle's
electrical system to maintain electrical loads and battery charge.
Body Control Module (BCM)
The body control module (BCM) is a GMLAN device. It communicates with the engine control
module (ECM) and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) for electrical power management (EPM)
operation. The BCM determines the desired voltage set point and sends the information to the
APM. The BCM monitors a battery current sensor, the battery positive voltage circuit, and
estimated battery temperature to determine battery state of charge (SOC).
Battery Current Sensor
The battery current sensor is a serviceable component that is connected to the negative battery
cable at the battery. The battery current sensor is a 3-wire hall effect current sensor. The battery
current sensor monitors the battery current. It directly inputs to the BCM. It creates a 5-volt pulse
width modulation (PWM) signal of 128 Hz with a duty cycle of 0-100 percent. Normal duty cycle is
between 5-95 percent. Between 0-5 percent and 95-100 percent are for diagnostic purposes.
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The ECM receives control decisions based on messages from the BCM.
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
The IPC provides a means of customer notification in case of a failure and a voltmeter. There are 2
means of notification, a charge indicator and a driver information center (DIC) message of

Attention:
To properly correct this condition, you must follow both of the procedures to relocate the ECT
sensor and the engine coolant heater cord.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add cast iron block engine RPOs and to update the
Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.
Warning
To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot.
The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam
Page 10926
4. Slide the rotor all the way to the hub and hold it in place until you have placed one of the conical
washers (with the tapered hole side facing
out) and run the first lug nut up tight by hand so the rotor doesn't move when you release it.
5. Place the conical washers on the rest of the studs (with the tapered hole side facing out), start
and snug the lug nuts by hand.
6. Using the one half inch drive impact wrench and a torque stick (J 39544) or equivalent, start with
the lug nut opposite of the one you first
tightened by hand and tighten the lug nuts using a star pattern until they touch the hub but do not
completely torque. Then again, starting with the first lug nut you tightened by hand, tighten all the
lug nuts in a star pattern to the specific vehicle torque specification.
7. DO NOT reinstall the caliper or the wheel at this time.
On-Car Type Lathe
1. Leave the On-Car adapter on the wheel.
2. Proceed to Step 9.
9. Fasten the dial indicator to the steering knuckle so that the indicator needle contacts the rotor
outboard friction surface approximately 6.35 mm
(0.25 in) from the rotor's outer edge. The stylus should be perpendicular to the friction surface of
the rotor.
Important Make sure the dial indicator needle tip is screwed tight, a loose tip could cause false
readings.
10. Measure for LRO. Follow the procedure below to determine if the LRO is within specification
(0.050 mm (0.002 in) or LESS).
1. Rotate the rotor and locate the point on the rotor where the lowest dial indicator reading is
indicated and set the dial indicator to zero.
2. Rotate the rotor from the low point and locate the point with the highest dial indicator reading
(rotor "high spot"). Note the amount and mark
the location of the "high spot" on the rotor and mark the closest wheel stud relative to this location.
If the high point falls between two studs, mark both studs. In instances where the vehicle has
"capped lug nuts" you should mark the hub.
11. If the Lateral Run Out (LRO) measurement is 0.050 mm (0.002 in) or LESS, no correction is
necessary. Go to Step 15 if this is the first rotor
completed. Go to Step 16 if this is the second rotor completed. If the LRO is GREATER than 0.050
mm (0.002 in), go to Step 12.
12. If the LRO measurement is greater than 0.050 mm (0.002 in), use the following procedure to
correct for LRO:
Important If the LRO measurement is over 0.279 mm (0.011 in), determine the source or cause of
the LRO and correct it (i.e. verify drive axle nut torque specification, refinished rotor is source of
LRO due to a lathe qualification issue - see "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure").
Hubless Rotor
1. Remove the rotor and using the Brake Align(R) application chart (found in TSB 01-05-23-001B),
choose the correct plate to bring the rotor
LRO to 0.050 mm (0.002 in) or less. The plates come in 0.0762 mm (0.003 in), 0.1524 mm (0.006
in) and 0.2286 (0.009 in) compensation. For more information on proper plate selection, see the
instruction video/DVD included in the "Brake Align(R)" kit or TSB 01-05-23-001B.
2. Align the V-notch of the selected Brake Align(R) correction plate to the marked wheel stud ("high
spot") or between the two points marked (if
the "high spot" is between two wheel studs).
Important IF Brake Align(R) Correction Plates are not available for the vehicle being serviced, refer
to SI Document - Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction for correcting LRO.
Important Per Brake Align(R) manufacturer, NEVER attempt to stack two or more Correction Plates
together on one hub. NEVER attempt to reuse a previously installed Correction Plate.
3. Reinstall the rotor using the same method and precautions as the first time - found in Step 8.
Make sure to index the rotor correctly to the
marks made in step 10, otherwise LRO will be comprised.
Hubbed / Captured / Trapped Rotor
1. Measure the rotor thickness.
2. Refinish or replace the rotor (see Service Information for further details).
Service and Repair
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer toSIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations) .
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose inflator modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 91 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any Inflatable restraint air bag module
* Inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
* Any Inflatable restraint sensor
* Inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioners
* Inflatable restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) module or sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note
The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Air Bag Systems)
orElectrical Center Identification Views (See: Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse
Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) .

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Insert a small flat-blade tool in the slot below the front loaded terminal position assurance (TPA)
and pry up. 3. Remove the TPA by pulling it out of the connector. 4. Push the wire side of the
terminal that is being removed toward the connector and hold it in position.
5. Insert the J 38125-553 on a slight upward angle into the cavity below the terminal to be
removed. Ensure that the pointed on the end of the tool is
facing the bottom of the terminal and it stays in contact with the terminal until it stops on the plastic
terminal retainer. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to
ensure that the correct release tool is used.

Important Other forms of slow air leaks are possible. If the body of the tire, valve stem and wheel
flange show no signs of air seepage, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-003D for
additional information on possible wheel porosity issues.
3. Bead seat corrosion is identified by what appears like blistering of the wheel finish, causing a
rough or uneven surface that is difficult for the tire to
maintain a proper seal on. Below is a close-up photo of bead seat corrosion on an aluminum wheel
that was sufficient to cause slow air loss. Close-Up of Bead Seat Corrosion
4. If corrosion is found on the wheel bead seat, measure the affected area as shown below.
- For vehicles with 32,186 km (20,000 mi) or less, the total allowable combined linear area of
repairable corrosion is 100 mm (4 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
- For vehicles that have exceeded 32,186 km (20,000 mi), the total allowable combined linear area
of repairable corrosion is 200 mm (8 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
5. In order to correct the wheel leak, use a clean-up (fine cut) sanding disc or biscuit to remove the
corrosion and any flaking paint. You should
remove the corrosion back far enough until you reach material that is stable and firmly bonded to
the wheel. Try to taper the edge of any flaking paint as best you can in order to avoid sharp edges
that may increase the chance of a leak reoccurring. The photo below shows an acceptable repaired
surface.
Notice Corrosion that extends up the lip of the wheel, where after the clean-up process it would be
visible with the tire mounted, is only acceptable on the inboard flange. The inboard flange is not
visible with the wheel assembly in the mounted position. If any loose coatings or corrosion extend
to the visible surfaces on the FACE of the wheel, that wheel must be replaced.
Important Remove ONLY the material required to eliminate the corrosion from the bead seating
surface. DO NOT remove excessive amounts of material. ALWAYS keep the sealing surface as
smooth and level as possible.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Tires - Minimizing Damage to TPM Sensors
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-10-007
Date: May 16, 2008
Subject: Minimizing Damage to Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Sensors During Tire
Mounting/Dismounting
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with Wheel Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors
Minimizing Damage To TPM Sensors
All GM vehicles now in production and sold in the U.S., as well as many vehicles sold in Canada,
feature Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems that have valve stem mounted Tire Pressure Sensors.
When dismounting and mounting tires, care must be taken when breaking the bead loose from the
wheel. If the tire machines bead breaking fixture is positioned too close to the tire pressure sensor,
as the tire bead breaks away from the wheel it may be forced into, or catch on the edge of the tire
pressure sensor. This can damage the sensor and require the sensor to be replaced.
Care must also be taken when transferring the tire bead to the other side of the wheel rim. As the
tire machine rotates and the tire bead is stretched around the wheel rim, the bead can come in
contact with the sensor if it is not correctly positioned in relation to the mounting/dismounting head
prior to tire mounting/dismounting. This can also cause sensor damage requiring replacement.
Procedure
Notice:
Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone in
order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could result.
Notice:
Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment.
Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to
peel from the wheel.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem.
2. Deflate the tire completely.
Important:
Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and 270
degrees from the valve stem.

Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

- It is not necessary to replace rotors in pairs. Rotors may be replaced individually. However,
caution should be exercised, as a variance in surface finish may cause a brake pull condition.
- New rotors should not be refinished before installation. Original equipment rotor surfaces are
ground to ensure smooth finish and parallelism between mounting and friction surfaces. If a new
rotor has more than 0.050 mm (0.002 in) Lateral Run Out (LRO) when properly mounted on the
hub, correct it using one of the following methods:
1. For hubless rotor designs, use the correction plate procedure found in the "GM Brake Service
Procedure for Hubless Rotors" outlined in this
bulletin.
2. For hubbed/trapped/captured rotor designs, refinish the rotor using an On-Car lathe and the
procedure outlined in this bulletin.
- Never reuse rotors that measure under the Minimum Thickness specification. In this instance, the
rotor should be replaced.
Important If the Minimum Thickness specification is not visible on the rotor, reference Service
Information (SI) for the specific vehicle application. DO NOT use any other manufacturers rotor
specifications.
Brake Pads:
Important When determining the warranty coverage (as an example) - if all four front or four rear
brake pads are excessively worn evenly, that would NOT be covered under warranty since this
type of wear is most likely due to driving habits or trailering. However, if the brake pads are
excessively worn un-evenly, side-to-side or same side/inner-to-outer pads, then consideration
should be given to cover this under warranty since this type of wear is most likely due to poor
operation of other braking components.
- Consideration should be given for covering brake pads up to 39,000 km (24,000 mi) (excluding
owner abuse, excessive trailering, or the situations that would not be considered normal use).
- Installation of new rotors does not require pad replacement. Do not replace pads unless their
condition requires it - excessively worn, damage or contaminated.
Brake Wear:
Several factors impact brake lining wear and should be taken into account when reviewing related
issues:
- heavy loads / high temperatures / towing / mountainous driving / city driving / aggressive driving /
driver braking characteristics (left foot or two feet)
The following are conditions that may extend brake lining wear:
- light loads / highway driving / conservative driving / level terrain

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
Page 11655
2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The engine control module (ECM) is the control center of this
system. The ECM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The ECM constantly monitors
the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and emissions. The ECM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the
system. The ECM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the ECM.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display
as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON:
The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required.
The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
* The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to
ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
* The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
* The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an
emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test
Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
* The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic
converter.
* When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the
ignition is ON.
* When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
is cycled OFF and then ON.

The GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product is an effective odor elimination product when used
properly. It must come into direct contact with the odor source. It should be used in conjunction with
diagnostic procedures to first eliminate the root cause of the odor. Some procedures for use after
odor root cause correction are:
STEP TWO:
^ Use the trigger spray head.
^ Put a drop of dish soap the size of a quarter in the bottom of a bottle.
^ Add 8 oz. of GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator (1 cup) to the dish soap and top off the bottle with
tap water.
^ This formula should be used on hard surfaces (dash, interior plastic molding, and floor pan)
STEP THREE:
The third step to neutralizing the vehicle is a light to medium treatment of all carpeting and
upholstered seats with the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula and a wide fan spray setting
(at full strength) (i.e.: carpeting on the driver's side requires 4-5 triggers pulls for coverage). The
headliner and trunk should be sprayed next. Lightly brushing the formula into the carpeting and
upholstery is a recommended step for deep odor problems. The dash and all hard surfaces should
be sprayed with dish soap/water mixture. Let stand for 1-2 minutes then wipe off the surface.
STEP FOUR: (vehicle ventilation system treatment)
The ventilation system is generally the last step in the treatment of the vehicle.
a. Spray the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula into all dash vents. (1-2 trigger pulls per
vent).
b. Start the vehicle and turn the vehicle fan on high cool (not A/C setting).
c. Spray the formula (10 trigger pulls) into the outside fresh air intake vent (cowl at base of
windshield)
d. Enter the vehicle after 1 minute and wipe off the excess formula spurting out of the dash vents.
e. Smell the air coming from the dash vents. If odors are still present, spray another 5 triggers into
the cowl, wait another minute and smell the results. Once you have obtained a fresh, clean smell
coming from the vents, turn the system to the A/C re-circulation setting. Roll up the windows, spray
3-5 pumps into the right lower IP area and let the vehicle run with the fan set on high for 5-7
minutes.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited
is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If
these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
Additional Suggestions to Increase Customer Satisfaction
Here are some additional ideas to benefit your dealership and to generate greater customer
enthusiasm for this product.
^ Keep this product on-hand for both the Service Department and the Used Car lot. Add value to
your used car trades; treat loaner and demo cars during service and at final sale to eliminate
smoke, pet, and other common odors offensive to customers. Make deodorizing a vehicle part of
your normal vehicle detailing service.
^ Consider including GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator as a give-away item with new vehicle
purchases. Many dealers give away as "gifts" various cleaning supplies at time of delivery. GM
Odor Eliminator is one of a few products GM offers that has as many uses in the home as in the
vehicle. Customers may find this product can be used for a host of recreational activities
associated with their new vehicle, such as deodorizing a boat they tow, or a camper.
^ GM Odor Eliminator and many of the GM Vehicle Care products offer you the chance to increase
dealership traffic as these superior quality products cannot be purchased in stores. Many
Dealerships have product displays at the parts counter. Consider additional displays in the
Customer Service Lounge, the Showroom and at the Service Desk or Cashier Window. Many
customers who purchase vehicles and receive regular maintenance at your dealership may never
visit the parts counter, and subsequently are not exposed to the variety and value that these
products offer.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,
Equinox, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse 2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon 2009
Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

OnStar(R) - Aftermarket Device Interference Information
Global Positioning System: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Aftermarket Device
Interference Information
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-46-004
Date: August 14, 2008
Subject: Information on Aftermarket Device Interference with OnStar(R) Diagnostic Services
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by
spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature
contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil
control circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). The ODM
output control is configured to operate as a low side driver for the powertrain relay. The ODM for
the powertrain relay also incorporates a fault detection circuit, which is continuously monitored by
the ECM. When the ECM commands the powertrain relay ON, ignition 1 voltage is supplied to the
ECM, and to several additional circuits.
Diagnostic Aids
This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely
charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See: Starting and Charging/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test) .

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
* Verify that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability
conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications ( See: Powertrain Management/Ignition
System/Specifications) for the correct spark plug.
* Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling, replace with a colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage , replace with a hotter plug
* Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage.
- Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1).
- Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should not
move.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, or soot. This is caused by the electrical
charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the terminal post (1) and ground. Inspect for the
following conditions:
- Inspect the spark plug boot for damage.
- Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or
water. A spark plug boot that is saturated will cause arcing to ground.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).

Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction
Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction
Note
* Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout
(LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation.
Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Thickness Variation
Measurement) .
* Brake rotor assembled lateral runout (LRO) exceeding the maximum allowable specification can
cause thickness variation to develop in the brake rotor over time, usually between 4,800-11,300 km
(3,000-7,000 mi). Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor
Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement) .
Review the following acceptable methods for bringing the brake rotor assembled LRO to within
specifications. Determine which method to use for the specific vehicle being repaired.
* The indexing method of correcting assembled LRO is most effective when the LRO specification
is only exceeded by a relatively small amount: 0.025-0.127 mm (0.001-0.005 in). Indexing is used
to achieve the best possible match of high spots to low spots between related components. Refer
to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing) .
* The on-vehicle brake lathe method is used to bring the LRO to within specifications through
compensating for LRO while refinishing the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Correction - On Vehicle Lathe (See: Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction On Vehicle Lathe) .
If the assembled LRO cannot be corrected using these methods, then other components must be
suspected as causing and/or contributing to the LRO concern.

System - Won't Recognize Bluetooth(R)
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,
Equinox, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse 2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon 2009
Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

You MUST use a silver-bearing solder to make the solder joint. DO NOT attempt this repair with
conventional tin/lead alloy solders. Most suppliers have this type of solder available and it is
available nationally at Radio Shack(R)*. It is sold in several diameters and either are acceptable for
this repair.
5. For this step, it is permitted that two technicians be used if required. Heat the new connector on
the surface of the buss bar that is to be soldered.
Long nose pliers are suggested to hold the electrical connector and the defroster tab in place. Keep
the solder ready and begin flowing out the solder as soon as the melting temperature has been
reached. Tip If a single technician is attempting this repair, it is beneficial to wrap one turn of the
solder around the new contacts base. In this manner, as the melting point of the solder is reached,
a layer is deposited on the bottom side of the contact.
Important Try to align the new contact so that it is positioned with the same orientation as the
original contact.
6. The above illustrates an ideal finished solder joint. Additional stray solder will not harm the
performance of the bond; however, while it is unlikely
that customers may refer to the appearance of the rear window defroster and its components as a
positive styling feature of the vehicle interior, it is easy to elicit the opposite reaction due to a poor
cosmetic application.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Positive thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the right hand side (RHS) of the vehicle.
Negative thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the left hand side (LHS) of the vehicle.
If the thrust angle is out of specification, moving the axle to body relationship will change the thrust
angle reading.
If the vehicle is out in the Positive (+) direction-moving the RHS forward and/or LHS rearward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.
If the vehicle is out in the Negative (-) direction-moving the RHS rearward and/or LHS forward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.
Lead/Pull Description
Lead/Pull Description
At a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at
the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight path.
Important: Vehicles will tend to lead/pull in the direction of the road slope as part of normal
operation.
Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors:
* Road slope
* Variability in tire construction
* Wheel alignment (front cross caster and camber)
* Unbalanced steering gear
* Electronic Power Steering (EPS) steering position and torque sensors not calibrated correctly, if
equipped.
Wander Description
Wander Description
Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external
disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause
the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius.
A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive
vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub
radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected
geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Corporation (800-892-3733), provides this service with GM guidelines. Other companies may also
exist.
* Any process that re-machines or otherwise remanufactures the wheel should not be used.
* The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process to assure that the
same wheel is returned. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel and warrant the
painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the new vehicle
warranty, whichever is longer.
* Paint and/or clearcoat must not be present on the following surfaces, the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole.
* A refinishers responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the
equivalent. Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any
kind is allowed. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the wheel. Hand and/or lathe
sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed. Material removal, though, must
be kept to a minimum.

and separate one of the brake pipes from the
port of the affected hydraulic brake system component.
4. Allow a small amount of brake fluid to gravity bleed from the open port of the affected hydraulic
brake system component. 5. Reconnect the brake pipe to the affected hydraulic brake system
component port and tighten securely. 6. Have an assistant slowly depress the brake pedal fully and
maintain steady pressure on the pedal. 7. Loosen the same brake pipe to purge air from the open
port of the affected hydraulic brake system component. 8. Tighten the brake pipe, then have the
assistant slowly release the brake pedal. 9. Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 8.3-8.8 until all air
is purged from the same port of the affected hydraulic brake system component.
10. With the brake pipe installed securely to the affected hydraulic brake system component, after
all air has been purged from the first port of the
affected hydraulic brake system component that was bled, loosen and separate the next brake pipe
from the affected hydraulic brake system component, then repeat steps 8.3-8.8.
11. After completing the final affected hydraulic brake system component port bleeding procedure,
ensure that each of the brake
pipe-to-component fittings are properly tightened.
9. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to the maximum-fill level with GM approved, or equivalent
DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake
fluid container. Clean the outside of the reservoir on and around the reservoir cap prior to removing
the cap and diaphragm.
10. Install the J-35589-A - Brake Pressure Bleeder Adapter, or equivalent , to the brake master
cylinder reservoir. 11. Inspect the brake fluid level in the J-29532-A - Brake Pressure Bleeder ,
orJ-29532 - Diaphragm Pressure Bleeder , or equivalent. 12. Clean the outside of the J-29532-A or

Bulletin Number 10-05-23-00A (Section 05 - Brakes).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a pulsation or vibration mostly concentrated in the steering
wheel during downhill descent as specifically described. This condition will most often begin as an
increasing rumbling noise coming from the underbody or the front of the vehicle. This condition is
exhibited mostly in mountainous regions.
Note
Use care to ensure the following diagnosis and repair are only attempted if the conditions and
concern match those listed, and if the concern can be duplicated under the same conditions.
This condition occurs ONLY under the following conditions:
- When the vehicle is driven as follows:
- On a downhill descent on a fairly steep grade (approximately 5% or greater).
- On taller hills (roughly 1.5‹›km [1‹›mi] road length or greater), without sharp turns.
- At speeds above 64‹›km/h (40‹›mph).
- Using the brakes just enough to maintain the speed limit when moving downhill.
- Typically, a rumbling noise will be heard first, building in intensity, followed by increasing
pulsation, or vibration, felt in the steering wheel, then typically felt in the floor panel.
- The condition will be eliminated once the vehicle is driven on relatively flat ground, typically for
1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi).
Cause
This condition may be caused by interaction between the front brake lining material and the front
brake rotors.
Correction
Important DO NOT attempt any repairs on the vehicle until you verify the specific condition is
present by following the steps below:
1. Warm up the vehicle by driving approximately 8 km (5 mi). 2. Drive the vehicle in the lane closest
to the side of the fairly steep grade (roughly 5 percent or greater), taller hill (roughly 1.5 km [1‹›mi]
road
length or greater), without sharp turns, and with a speed limit of 64 km/h (40 mph) or greater, with
the side windows down.
3. While in Drive, descending downhill, apply the brakes naturally, only as needed, to maintain the
speed limit. 4. Observe for noise, followed by pulsation/vibration. Observe where the noise,
pulsation and/or vibration are most noticeable. 5. Drive the vehicle on relatively flat ground for 1.5-3
km (1-2 mi) to verify that the condition goes away completely.

^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.

Condition
Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
- An intermittent no crank/no start
- Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination
- Intermittent service lamp illumination
- Intermittent service message(s) being displayed
The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a buildup of nonconductive insulating oxidized debris known as
fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector.
This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
- Vibration
- Thermal cycling
- Poor connection/terminal retention
- Micro motion
- A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement
On low current signal circuits this condition may cause high resistance, resulting in intermittent
connections.
On high current power circuits this condition may cause permanent increases in the resistance and
may cause a device to become inoperative.

General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

Alignment: Testing and Inspection
Trim Height Inspection
Note
Before performing any of the following adjustment procedures, inspect the entire suspension
system for worn or damaged suspension components. Replace those components before any
measurements or adjustments are performed. Also check for any collision damage.
Trim Height Measurements
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause the vehicle to bottom over bumps, damage to the suspension components, and
symptoms similar to wheel alignment problems. Check the trim heights when diagnosing
suspension concerns and before checking the wheel alignment.
Perform the following before measuring the trim heights:
* Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack.
* Set the tire pressures to the pressure shown on the certification label. Refer to Vehicle
Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label (See: Application and ID) .
* Ensure that the suspension is fully supporting the vehicle.
* If the vehicle is equipped with automatic level control, ensure that the system is functioning
properly.
* Check for installed after market accessories or modifications that could affect trim height
measurements:
- Tire and wheel sizes other than production
- Lifting or lowering kits
- Wheel Opening Flares
- Ground Effects
* Ensure that the passenger and rear compartments are empty, except for the spare tire.
* Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank of fuel. (One U.S.
gallon of gasoline weighs approximate 6.5 lbs. One liter of gasoline weighs 0.70 kg.)
* Close all doors, lift gate/trunk and the hood.
* Remove the alignment rack floating pins.
Z Height Measurement
Note
For vehicles equipped with torsion bars, check the Z height before performing the alignment.
The Z height dimension measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the
vehicle. Vehicles equipped with torsion bars use adjust arms in order to adjust the Z height
dimension. Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of
suspension components.
1. Jounce the front suspension of the vehicle by pushing the vehicle down and lifting up. 2. Allow
the vehicle to settle and take a measurement.

be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

7. If at any time the brake rotor exceeds the minimum allowable thickness after refinish
specification, the brake rotor must be replaced. After
replacing the rotor, proceed to step 10.
8. After refinishing the brake rotor, use the following procedure in order to obtain the desired
non-directional finish:
1. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional
finish. 2. Using moderate pressure, apply the non-directional finish:
* If the lathe is equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with 120-grit aluminum
oxide sandpaper.
* If the lathe is not equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with a sanding
block and 150-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper.
3. After applying a non-directional finish, clean each friction surface of the brake rotor with
denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved brake
cleaner.
9. Remove the lathe from the vehicle.
10. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Assembled

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

8. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.
Page 5784
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

OF SUCH IMPROPER DESIGN ALTERATIONS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS
INCURRED.
You may have a customer with a concern that the head restraint is uncomfortable or sits too far
forward. The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with head restraints that have been
designed to help minimize injuries while still providing comfort to the occupants. Each GM vehicle
has its own specifically designed head restraint.
The head restraints should only be used in the vehicle for which they were designed. The head
restraint will not operate to its design intent if the original foam is replaced (1) by non-GM foam or
head restraint, (2) by GM foam or head restraint designed for a different vehicle, (3) by GM foam or
head restraint that has been altered by a trim shop or (4) if any object, such as an aftermarket
comfort enhancing pad or device, is installed.
Never modify the design of the head restraint or remove the head restraint from the vehicle as this
may interfere with the operation of the seating and restraint systems and may prevent proper
positioning of the passenger within the vehicle.

Parts Information
No parts are required for the majority of vehicles. 44 vehicles will require replacement of the control
solenoid valve (transmission controller) (see list below for listing of vehicles). Assemblies required
to complete this program are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales
(GMCC&A;). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" before ordering parts. Normal orders
should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency situation, parts should
be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.
Service Procedure
Refer to Programming and TEHCM Replacement Decision Table below.

of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

Fuel Injector Balance Test with Tech 2
1. Command the fuel pump relay ON and then OFF three times with a scan tool. On the last
command, as the fuel pressure begins to slowly degrade
and stabilize, select a fuel pressure within 34 kPa (5 psi) of the maximum pump pressure. Record
this fuel pressure. This is the starting pressure at which you will pulse each injector.
2. With a scan tool, select the Fuel Injector Balance Test function within the Special Functions
menu. 3. Select an injector to be tested. 4. Press Enter to prime the fuel system. 5. Energize the
fuel injector by depressing the Pulse Injector button on the scan tool at the previously selected
pressure. 6. After the injector stops pulsing, select Min from the Display Mode on theCH-48027 and
record the Min pressure.
Important: New test results will not be recorded if the Min/Max results are not cleared after each
injector is tested.
7. Clear the Min/Max results on theCH-48027 . 8. Select Normal from the Display Mode on
theCH-48027 . 9. Press Enter on the scan tool to bring you back to the Select Injector screen.
10. Repeat steps 3 through 9 for each fuel injector. 11. Perform the Pressure Drop Calculation.
Pressure Drop Calculation
1. Subtract the minimum pressure from the starting pressure for one fuel injector. The result is the
pressure drop value. 2. Obtain a pressure drop value for each fuel injector. 3. Add all of the
individual pressure drop values except for the injector suspected of being faulty. This is the total
pressure drop. 4. Divide the total pressure drop by the number of fuel injectors that were added
together. This is the average pressure drop. The difference between
any individual pressure drop and the average pressure drop should not be more than 20 kPa (3
psi).
‹› If the difference between any individual pressure drop and the average pressure drop is more
than 20 kPa (3 psi), replace the fuel injector,
E-85 only. All other engine, refer toFuel Injector Cleaning (See: Service and Repair/Procedures) .

Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution
Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution
Caution: Do not remove the pigtail from either the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) or the oxygen
sensor (O2S). Removing the pigtail or the connector will affect sensor operation.
Handle the oxygen sensor carefully. Do not drop the HO2S. Keep the in-line electrical connector
and the louvered end free of grease, dirt, or other contaminants. Do not use cleaning solvents of
any type.
Do not repair the wiring, connector or terminals. Replace the oxygen sensor if the pigtail wiring,
connector, or terminal is damaged.
This external clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires.
Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors, or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air
reference and degraded sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor causing poor performance.
* Do not damage the sensor pigtail and harness wires in such a way that the wires inside are
exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause
performance problems.
* Ensure the sensor or vehicle lead wires are not bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends or kinks
could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire, where applicable. Vehicles that utilize
the ground wired sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor.
Removal of the ground wire will cause poor engine performance.
* Ensure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector in order to
prevent damage due to water intrusion. The engine harness may be repaired using Packard's
Crimp and Splice Seals Terminal Repair Kit. Under no circumstances should repairs be soldered
since this could result in the air reference being obstructed.

hot particles embed themselves in the chrome layer and create a small pit. If the material is allowed
to sit on the wheel while it is exposed to moisture or salt, it will corrode the wheel beneath the
chrome leaving a pit or small blister in the chrome.
Heavy brake dust build-up should be removed from wheels by using GM Chrome Cleaner and
Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada use 10953013). For moderate cleaning, light brake dust build-up
or water spots use GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use Meguiars
Plast-X(TM) Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish #G12310C**). After cleaning, the wheel should be
waxed using GM Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, use Meguiars Cleaner Wax
#M0616C**), which will help protect the wheel from brake dust and reduce adhesion of any brake
dust that gets on the wheel surface. For general maintenance cleaning, PEEK Metal Polish† may
be used. It will clean and shine the chrome and leave behind a wax coating that may help protect
the finish.
Warranty of Stardust Corroded Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of neglect and brake dust build-up may be
replaced one time.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean and free of prolonged exposure to brake dust
build-up. "GM of Canada" dealers require prior approval by the District Manager - Customer Care
and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
Customer Assistance and Instructions
GM has looked for ways customers may improve the appearance of wheels damaged by acidic
cleaners. The following product and procedure has been found to dramatically improve the
appearance of stained wheels. For wheels that have milky stains caused by acidic cleaners try the
following:
Notice
THE 3M CHROME AND METAL POLISH REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE IS AN
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE POLISH/CLEANER. THE WHEELS MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE
APPLICATION TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE WHEEL SURFACE. THIS PRODUCT WILL
REDUCE THE THICKNESS OF THE CHROME PLATING ON THE WHEEL AND IF USED
INCORRECTLY OR EXCESSIVELY MAY REMOVE THE CHROME PLATING ALL TOGETHER,
EXPOSING A LESS BRIGHT AND BRASSY COLORED SUB-LAYER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1. Wash the wheels with vigorously with soap and water. This step will clean and may reduce
wheel staining. Flood all areas of the wheel with water
to rinse.
2. Dry the wheels completely.
Notice Begin with a small section of the wheel and with light pressure buff off polish and examine
results. ONLY apply and rub with sufficient force and time to remove enough staining that you are
satisfied with the results. Some wheels may be stained to the extent that you may only achieve a
50% improvement while others may be able to be restored to the original lustre. IN ALL CASES,
only apply until the results are satisfactory.
3. Apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527* with a clean terry cloth towel. As you apply the
polish, the staining will be diminished. 4. When dry, buff off the polish with a clean portion of the
towel. 5. Repeat application of the 3M Chrome and Metal Polish until satisfied with the results. If
continued applications fail to improve the appearance
further discontinue use.
This procedure will improve the appearance of the wheels and may, with repeated applications,
restore the finish dramatically. For wheels that exhibit spotting from road chemicals the above
procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
In this type of staining the wheel finish has actually been removed in spots and no manner of
cleaning will restore the finish.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

hot particles embed themselves in the chrome layer and create a small pit. If the material is allowed
to sit on the wheel while it is exposed to moisture or salt, it will corrode the wheel beneath the
chrome leaving a pit or small blister in the chrome.
Heavy brake dust build-up should be removed from wheels by using GM Chrome Cleaner and
Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada use 10953013). For moderate cleaning, light brake dust build-up
or water spots use GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use Meguiars
Plast-X(TM) Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish #G12310C**). After cleaning, the wheel should be
waxed using GM Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, use Meguiars Cleaner Wax
#M0616C**), which will help protect the wheel from brake dust and reduce adhesion of any brake
dust that gets on the wheel surface. For general maintenance cleaning, PEEK Metal Polish† may
be used. It will clean and shine the chrome and leave behind a wax coating that may help protect
the finish.
Warranty of Stardust Corroded Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of neglect and brake dust build-up may be
replaced one time.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean and free of prolonged exposure to brake dust
build-up. "GM of Canada" dealers require prior approval by the District Manager - Customer Care
and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
Customer Assistance and Instructions
GM has looked for ways customers may improve the appearance of wheels damaged by acidic
cleaners. The following product and procedure has been found to dramatically improve the
appearance of stained wheels. For wheels that have milky stains caused by acidic cleaners try the
following:
Notice
THE 3M CHROME AND METAL POLISH REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE IS AN
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE POLISH/CLEANER. THE WHEELS MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE
APPLICATION TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE WHEEL SURFACE. THIS PRODUCT WILL
REDUCE THE THICKNESS OF THE CHROME PLATING ON THE WHEEL AND IF USED
INCORRECTLY OR EXCESSIVELY MAY REMOVE THE CHROME PLATING ALL TOGETHER,
EXPOSING A LESS BRIGHT AND BRASSY COLORED SUB-LAYER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1. Wash the wheels with vigorously with soap and water. This step will clean and may reduce
wheel staining. Flood all areas of the wheel with water
to rinse.
2. Dry the wheels completely.
Notice Begin with a small section of the wheel and with light pressure buff off polish and examine
results. ONLY apply and rub with sufficient force and time to remove enough staining that you are
satisfied with the results. Some wheels may be stained to the extent that you may only achieve a
50% improvement while others may be able to be restored to the original lustre. IN ALL CASES,
only apply until the results are satisfactory.
3. Apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527* with a clean terry cloth towel. As you apply the
polish, the staining will be diminished. 4. When dry, buff off the polish with a clean portion of the
towel. 5. Repeat application of the 3M Chrome and Metal Polish until satisfied with the results. If
continued applications fail to improve the appearance
further discontinue use.
This procedure will improve the appearance of the wheels and may, with repeated applications,
restore the finish dramatically. For wheels that exhibit spotting from road chemicals the above
procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
In this type of staining the wheel finish has actually been removed in spots and no manner of
cleaning will restore the finish.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years, update the Parts Information and add
a Caution. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-08-64-032 (Section 08 - Body and
Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).
Caution
Exceeding the recommended screw torque of 6 Nm (53 lb in) could result in the thread insert
pulling out of the handle base, as shown in the graphic above.
Replace the affected chrome outside door handle. Refer to Front Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement, Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement, or Rear Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement (Crew Cab) in SI.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the

Issues
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-09-40-001A
Date: February 02, 2011
Subject: Seat Belt Buckle Latching Issues and/or Seat Belt Warning Lights Illuminated
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2,
H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7 X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-09-40-001 (Section 09 - Restraints).
This bulletin is being published to advise dealers about seat belt buckles not operating and/or seat
belt warning light illumination, as well as difficulty latching and unlatching the buckle or the buckle
release button sticking.
Analysis of warranty data has determined that this condition may be caused by sticky beverages
being spilled onto or into the seat belt buckle assembly. Foreign debris from food, candy wrappers,
paper and coins can also contribute to this condition.
Important If foreign material (debris) or sticky liquids are the cause of the concern, show the
customer the condition of the component (buckle assembly) and explain how it is affecting the
function of the restraint system. Strongly recommend that the component be replaced. Point out the
fact that this is not a manufacturing defect and is not covered by the new vehicle warranty. If the
customer declines to have parts replaced, the service department management must make a
notation on the service record that the lack of functionality of seating position with an inoperative
buckle was fully explained to the customer. The service department management must advise the
customer that having a non-functioning buckle in a seating position voids ability to use that seating
position (no one should ride in the seat). Also make the customer aware that it may be against the
law to ride in a vehicle without wearing a restraint system.
Important Never insert anything other than the seat belt latch plate into the buckle assembly. Do
not attempt to dig anything out of a buckle with a tool. Never try to wash out a buckle to remove a
spilled liquid as this may damage the buckle.
Use the following steps to determine the cause of the concern.
1. Inspect the buckle assembly with a light shining on the latch plate insertion area. Look for any
debris or foreign objects in the buckle. 2. If any debris or foreign objects are observed, try to
vacuum out the item. After the foreign material is removed, latch and unlatch the seat belt. If
the system functions properly, do not replace the seat belt buckle assembly.
3. If the condition has not been corrected, inspect the buckle assembly for any sticky residue. If
sticky residue is found, inform the customer that a
substance was spilled on the seat belt buckle assembly causing the malfunction. The buckle
assembly will need to be replaced at the customer's expense.
4. Refer to SI for seat belt component replacement.
Important If foreign material (debris) or sticky liquids are the cause of the concern, show the
customer the condition of the component (buckle assembly) and explain how it is affecting the

Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing
Warning
Road test a vehicle under safe conditions and while obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt any
maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure to adhere to these precautions could lead
to serious personal injury and vehicle damage.
Burnishing the brake pads and brake rotors is necessary in order to ensure that the braking
surfaces are properly prepared after service has been performed on the disc brake system.
This procedure should be performed whenever the disc brake rotors have been refinished or
replaced, and/or whenever the disc brake pads have been replaced.
1. Select a smooth road with little or no traffic. 2. Accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph).
Note
Use care to avoid overheating the brakes while performing this step.
3. Using moderate to firm pressure, apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Do not allow the
brakes to lock. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until approximately 20 stops have been completed. Allow
sufficient cooling periods between stops in order to properly
burnish the brake pads and rotors.

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

6. If the brake fluid level is at the upper fill level mark, do not add brake fluid to the master cylinder
reservoir. 7. Start the engine. 8. As the brake modulator draws brake fluid from the master cylinder
reservoir to charge the brake modulator and the HPA, the brake fluid level will
decrease.
9. The brake fluid level should be at or above the midway point of the MAX and MIN level marks (2)
of the master cylinder reservoir after the brake
fluid level stabilizes.
10. If the brake fluid level is at or below the midway point of the MAX and MIN level marks on the
master cylinder reservoir after the brake fluid
level stabilizes, the brake system should be inspected for wear and possible brake fluid leaks.
11. If the brake fluid level is at or below the midway point of the MAX and MIN level marks on the
master cylinder reservoir point during routine
fluid checks, and an inspection of the brake system did not reveal wear or brake fluid leaks, the
brake fluid may be filled to the MAX level mark.
12. If brake system service was just completed, brake fluid should be added to bring the level in the
master cylinder reservoir the MAX level mark. 13. If the brake fluid level is at the MAX level mark,
adding brake fluid is not recommended under normal conditions. 14. If brake fluid is to be added to
the master cylinder reservoir, clean the outside of the reservoir on and around the reservoir cap
prior to removing
the cap and diaphragm. Use only Delco Supreme 11(R), GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable

Installation Procedure
Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution) .
2. Install the HO2S (2).

In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

Caution: Refer to Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Caution) .
7. Remove the HO2S (4).
Installation Procedure
Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution) .

20. Extract a portion of the ECT sensor harness wiring and connector from the protective conduit.
Cut off the ECT sensor harness connector and
wiring.
21. Determine a routing path for the ECT sensor jumper harness wires so that they can be secured
TO or WITHIN an existing protective conduit.
Note This step is to set up and verify the length of wiring that is required before cutting.
22. Route the ECT sensor jumper wires and then enclose them in their own protective conduit in
order to VERIFY the length that is required. 23. Cut the ECT sensor jumper wires to the
appropriate length.
Note Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other
splice or connector.
24. Splice the ECT sensor jumper wires to the ORIGINAL ECT HARNESS LOCATION using
DuraSeal weatherproof splices. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves in SI.
Note Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other
splice or connector.
25. Splice the ECT sensor jumper wires to the ECT SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR using
DuraSeal weatherproof splices. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves in SI.
26. Connect the ECT sensor harness connector to the ECT sensor. 27. Secure the ECT sensor
jumper wires that are in their own protective conduit TO or WITHIN the existing harness conduit
using tie straps.
Important You MUST run the engine at the specified RPM and until it reaches normal operating
temperature and then allow it to idle as indicated in SI. The engine MUST then be allowed to cool
down in order to top off the coolant level as needed.
28. Fill the cooling system to the proper level. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling in SI.
29. Pressure test the cooling system. Refer to Cooling System Leak Testing in SI. 30. Use a scan

1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2007-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali,
Yukon Denali XL
Condition
Some customers may comment on a no start, or no crank, or intermittent electrical operations.
Cause
This may be caused by probing fuse or relay connectors with incorrect J-Tools, which causes
splayed terminals and poor electrical connections. Customers may also have installed wires
adjacent to the fuse connector blades in order to create an electrical circuit, which also creates a
potential loose connection at the fuse. Other potential causes are probing by independent repair
shops during installation of aftermarket accessories like remote start systems.
Correction
If the terminals are damaged beyond repair, the engine wiring harness junction block will have to
be replaced.
Be sure to use the correct J-Tool (J-356616-35), which is designed to prevent splaying of the
terminals and loose connections.
Important:
DO NOT use any other device (incorrect J- Tool, multi-meter probe) to test fuse/relay terminals.
The figure shown shows splayed fuse terminals due to probing with a round instrument, which
caused a poor electrical connection between fuse blade and terminal (note lack of witness mark on
fuse blade).
The figure above shows a wire jammed into fuse slot (potential electrical tap by customer).
Warranty Information
This repair will not be covered under warranty due to damage/failure caused by inappropriate
probing or customer abuse.

Drive Motor Control Module: Description and Operation
Drive Motor Generator Control Module Description and Operation
Overview
The drive motor generator power inverter module (PIM) assembly converts high voltage direct
current (DC) electrical energy to 3 phase alternating current (AC) electrical energy. The accessory
DC power control module (APM) converts high voltage DC electric energy into low voltage (14V)
and intermediate voltage (42V) in order to charge the vehicles accessory battery and supply
electric energy to the 42V power steering system. The APM and PIM are fastened together and are
referred to as the drive motor generator control module assembly. The drive motor generator
control module assembly is cooled with pre-mixed Dexcool(R) circulating through a cooling system
that is separate from the engine cooling system. The hybrid cooling system utilizes a heat
exchanger at the front of the vehicle and electric pumps to circulate the coolant. The engine control
module (ECM) monitors a temperature sensor in the hybrid cooling system and operates the
radiator fan and the hybrid coolant pumps in response to system temperature.
High Voltage Circuits
Direct Current (DC)
The drive motor generator control module assembly is connected to each pole of the high voltage
(HV), direct current (DC) drive motor generator battery. Both of the negative and positive HV DC
battery poles are isolated from the vehicle chassis by a specific amount of resistance. Each HV DC
cable is switched ON or OFF by a high voltage, high current contactor relay contained within the
drive motor generator battery assembly. All HV DC negative and positive DC cables are individually
shielded and orange in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage. The
electric air conditioning compressor high voltage DC cables are externally connected at the drive
motor generator control module assembly. The APM and PIM share an internal connection that
supplies the APM with high voltage DC current.
Three Phase Alternating Current (AC)
Three cables connect each motor generator to the PIM. Each individually shielded cable is orange
in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage.
Intermediate and Low Voltage Circuits
The APM converts high voltage 300V DC current into both intermediate voltage, 42V, and low
voltage, 12V, current.
Intermediate Voltage 42V Direct Current
Intermediate voltage 42V cables are individually shielded and are blue in color to alert the
technician to the potential presence of intermediate voltage.
Low Voltage (12V) Direct Current
Low voltage (12V) cables on the hybrid-electric vehicle do not require unique coloring or servicing
procedures.
Drive Motor Generator Power Inverter Module (PIM) Assembly
Overview
Contained within the PIM assembly are the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM), and two
motor control modules (MCM). Each MCM controls its respective motor generator. All three
modules are flash-programmable micro-processors.
Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM)
Location
The HPCM is a non-serviceable, flash-programmable micro-processor contained within the PIM
assembly.
Operating Functions
The HPCM is the main controller of hybrid operation. The HPCM determines when to perform
hybrid operation modes such as engine Auto-stop and regenerative braking. The HPCM also
operates in conjunction with the battery energy control module (BECM) to determine when to
enable and disable the DC high voltage circuits. Each MCM operates the applicable electric motor
generator based upon HPCM commands.
Communication and Hosted Diagnostics
The HPCM is the host controller for diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information for the following
control modules:

Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 06-00-89-029E (Section 00 - General Information).
To keep the vehicle interior looking the best, it should be cleaned often. It is important to keep the
upholstery from becoming heavily soiled. The vehicle's interior can experience extreme heat, which
can cause stains to set quickly. Lighter color interiors may require more frequent cleaning. Care
should be taken because newspapers and garments may transfer color to the vehicle's interior.
Many of today's interiors are made with new low gloss materials. Permanent damage may result
from using cleaners on ANY surfaces (interior trim, instrument panel, carpet, leather, vinyl and
fabric) for which they are not intended. Using non-approved products can actually set the stain to
the point that nothing can remove it.
Important
Do not use silicone or wax-based products or those containing organic solvents (such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.) to clean your vehicle's interior because they can alter the appearance by increasing
the gloss in a non-uniform manner. The increase in gloss may cause annoying reflections in the
windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under certain conditions.
- Never use a STIFF brush or a brush that has been previously used with a harsh chemical. This
can cause damage to the vehicle's interior surfaces.
- Use only mild, Neutral-pH cleaners. Avoid laundry detergents or dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Using too much soap will leave residue that leaves streaks and attracts dirt.
Because it is critical to use only mild, neutral-pH cleaners, General Motors has approved the use of
the cleaners and conditioners listed in this bulletin for the cleaning of interiors. These products are
in the neutral-pH range and will maintain the best vehicle interior appearance. These products are
water-based, biodegradable, and do not contain bleach, solvents or harsh chemicals.
Interior trim pieces on new vehicles, as well as service components, arrive with a protective film.
When removing the protective film, adhesive residue may be left on the trim panels/components.
The cleaner (for leather, vinyl, plastic and interior paint) is an effective cleaner in removing
adhesive residue without causing damage to the component.
Important
- If soapy, alkaline cleaning solutions are used on fabrics, and not thoroughly rinsed out, the
residual left in the fabric will attract dirt. Because the recommended cleaners/conditioners are in the
pH neutral range, they won't leave behind soapy residue.
- On heavily stained or difficult to clean fabric/carpet, it is recommended that the entire surface be
treated and cleaned vs. spot cleaning. Refer to Extractor Machine and Concentrate section of this
bulletin for more information.
Effective cleaning steps for hard and/or plastic surfaces:
1. Using a clean towel, apply/spray cleaner - leather, vinyl, plastic, interior paint, directly onto the
towel. 2. Wipe the surface with the towel/cleaner. 3. If necessary, use a soft bristle brush to work
cleaner into the crevasses of the area being cleaned. 4. Wipe off any excess cleaner from the
surface. 5. Using a clean towel, apply/spray the conditioner (leather, vinyl restorer) directly onto the
towel. 6. Wipe the conditioner onto the previously cleaned area to restore the material to it's
original luster.
Important Today's interiors are developed and intended to have a low-gloss appearance. It is
important to use only products which provide a low-gloss finish in order to maintain the interior's
integrity, customer appeal and satisfaction.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 V,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Tires - Minimizing Damage to TPM Sensors
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-10-007
Date: May 16, 2008
Subject: Minimizing Damage to Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Sensors During Tire
Mounting/Dismounting
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with Wheel Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors
Minimizing Damage To TPM Sensors
All GM vehicles now in production and sold in the U.S., as well as many vehicles sold in Canada,
feature Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems that have valve stem mounted Tire Pressure Sensors.
When dismounting and mounting tires, care must be taken when breaking the bead loose from the
wheel. If the tire machines bead breaking fixture is positioned too close to the tire pressure sensor,
as the tire bead breaks away from the wheel it may be forced into, or catch on the edge of the tire
pressure sensor. This can damage the sensor and require the sensor to be replaced.
Care must also be taken when transferring the tire bead to the other side of the wheel rim. As the
tire machine rotates and the tire bead is stretched around the wheel rim, the bead can come in
contact with the sensor if it is not correctly positioned in relation to the mounting/dismounting head
prior to tire mounting/dismounting. This can also cause sensor damage requiring replacement.
Procedure
Notice:
Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone in
order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could result.
Notice:
Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment.
Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to
peel from the wheel.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem.
2. Deflate the tire completely.
Important:
Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and 270
degrees from the valve stem.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the parts information for the utilities. Please
discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-50-018D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Important Implementation of this service bulletin by all dealers requires prior District Service
Manager (DVM) (in Canada, the Warranty Manager) approval.
Condition
Some customers may comment on excessive lint accumulation on the cloth seat material. Darker
colored seat fabric seems to show the condition more than lighter fabrics.
Cause
The source of the lint accumulation is not the seat fabric material. The seat material, though,
exhibits a tendency to accumulate and retain lint from sources that come into contact with the
fabric.
Correction
Important All seats will need to be updated in the vehicle. Let customers with RPO 19D know that
the appearance of the insert material will be noticeably different.
If the customer has ebony colored cloth seats, replace the seat covers (back and cushion), the
headrests and the armrests with revised fabric. Refer to SI for the appropriate seat back and
cushion cover, headrest and armrest replacement procedures.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or
weeks.
Cause
Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat.
There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and
this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear
continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the
environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may
appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be
visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in
an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum
Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant)
Correction
In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below.
Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to
repair the wheel with the procedure below.
Notice
The repair is no longer advised or applicable for chromed aluminum wheels.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly for diagnosis. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and
Installation in SI. 2. After a water dunk tank leak test, if you determine the source of the air leak to
be around the bead seat of the wheel, dismount the tire to examine
the bead seat. Shown below is a typical area of bead seat corrosion.Typical Location of Bead Seat

Drive Belt: Description and Operation
Drive Belt System Description
The drive belt system consists of the following components:
* The drive belt
* The drive belt tensioner
* The drive belt idler pulley
* The crankshaft balancer pulley
* The accessory drive component mounting brackets
* The accessory drive components
- The power steering pump, if belt driven
- The generator
- The A/C compressor, if equipped
- The engine cooling fan, if belt driven
- The water pump, if belt driven
- The vacuum pump, if equipped
- The air compressor, if equipped
The drive belt system may use 1 belt or 2 belts. The drive belt is thin so that it can bend backwards
and has several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. The drive belts are made of different
types of rubbers, chloroprene or EPDM, and have different layers or plys containing either fiber
cloth or cords for reinforcement.
Both sides of the drive belt may be used to drive the different accessory drive components. When
the back side of the drive belt is used to drive a pulley, the pulley is smooth.
The drive belt is pulled by the crankshaft balancer pulley across the accessory drive component
pulleys. The spring loaded drive belt tensioner keeps constant tension on the drive belt to prevent
the drive belt from slipping. The drive belt tensioner arm will move when loads are applied to the
drive belt by the accessory drive components and the crankshaft.
The drive belt system may have an idler pulley, which is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys.
Some systems use an idler pulley in place of an accessory drive component when the vehicle is
not equipped with the accessory.

Drivetrain - Clunk Noise At A Stop Or From Launch
Drive/Propeller Shaft: Customer Interest Drivetrain - Clunk Noise At A Stop Or From Launch
TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 09-04-21-003D
Date: January 14, 2011
Subject: Clunk Noise at Stop or from Launch (Clean/Lubricate Rear Propshaft Slip Yoke Splines)
Models:
2007-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series 2008-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe
1500 Series 2007-2009 GMC Sierra 1500 Series 2008-2009 GMC Yukon, Yukon XL 1500 Series
Equipped with 4WD (RPO NQG, NQH)
Attention:
This bulletin contains a procedure to clean/lubricate the rear propshaft slip yoke splines and
replace, if necessary. Check the history on this vehicle. If the lubrication procedure has been
performed previously, then continue on and replace the transfer case rear output shaft.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the warranty statement. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 09-04-21-003C (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a bump feel or clunk noise at a stop or on launch. Customers
may also comment that the bump feel or clunk is noticed after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop and that it feels as if the vehicle was bumped from behind.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the rear propshaft slip yoke and the
transfer case rear output shaft splines. Braking to a complete stop can force the propshaft slip yoke
forward into the transfer case while the vehicle rebounds slightly backward after stopping its
momentum.
Correction
Note
Do not use grease for lubrication of the slip yoke splines on 4WD vehicles. The output shaft in a
4WD transfer case does not have a grease retainer to keep the grease from migrating into the
transfer case and mixing with the fluid inside. Grease is not compatible with the automatic
transmission fluid (ATF) used in the transfer case and can cause damage if mixed.
Note
The clunk noise may also be due to fuel movement in the fuel tank when not completely full. If the
condition is eliminated after filling the fuel tank, the noise is isolated to the fuel movement in the
tank. Please make no repair attempts, as this noise is considered an operating characteristic.
Verify the customer's concern.
Clean/Lubricate Rear PropShaft Slip Yoke Splines
1. Remove the rear drive shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect
the rear propshaft slip yoke splines.
Note Protect the transfer case rear seal from Brake Clean.
3. Clean the rear propshaft slip yoke splines with Brake Clean or equivalent and a shop towel. 4.
Assure that the splines are free of rust or other foreign material. 5. Lubricate the spline with
Automatic Transmission Fluid, P/N 88861003 (in Canada, 19264717). 6. Reinstall the rear drive
shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI. 7. Road test the vehicle and verify

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

Service and Repair
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer toSIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations) .
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose inflator modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 91 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any Inflatable restraint air bag module
* Inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
* Any Inflatable restraint sensor
* Inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioners
* Inflatable restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) module or sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note
The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Air Bag Systems)
orElectrical Center Identification Views (See: Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse
Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) .
Page 1103
5. Verify that DTC B1E3A does not reset as Current.
Important Ensure each leg of the circuit is tested since the 8 volt reference circuit feeds all the
sensors in parallel.
‹› If DTC B1E3A does set, test the 8 volt reference circuit for a short to voltage, short to ground or
an open/high resistance. Repair the circuit as
necessary. Depending on the model year of the vehicle, refer to Body > Wiring Systems >
Diagnostic Information and Procedures > Wiring Repairs OR Power and Signal Distribution >
Wiring Systems and Power Management > Diagnostic Information and Procedures > Wiring
Repairs in SI.
‹› If DTC B1E3A does not set proceed to Step 6.
6. Install each object sensor harness connector one at a time, checking for DTCs immediately after
each sensor is connected. Verify DTC B1E3A
does not set as Current.
‹› If DTC B1E3A does set, replace the object sensor that was connected immediately before the
DTC set.
7. Perform the diagnostic repair verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Refer to
Diagnostic Repair Verification in SI.

Description and Operation
Electronic Throttle Actuator: Description and Operation
Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description
The engine control module (ECM) is the control center for the throttle actuator control (TAC)
system. The ECM determines the driver's intent based on input from the accelerator pedal position
sensors, then calculates the appropriate throttle response based on the throttle position sensors.
The ECM achieves throttle positioning by providing a pulse width modulated voltage to the throttle
actuator motor. The throttle blade is spring loaded in both directions, and the default position is
slightly open.
Modes Of Operation
Normal Mode
During the operation of the TAC system, several modes, or functions, are considered normal. The
following modes may be entered during normal operations:
* Minimum pedal value-At key-up, the ECM updates the learned minimum pedal value.
* Minimum throttle position values-At key-up, the ECM updates the learned minimum throttle
position value. In order to learn the minimum throttle position value, the throttle blade is moved to
the Closed position.
* Ice break mode-If the throttle blade is not able to reach a predetermined minimum throttle
position, the ice break mode is entered. During the ice break mode, the ECM commands the
maximum pulse width several times to the throttle actuator motor in the closing direction.
* Minimum pedal value-At key-up, the ECM updates the learned minimum pedal value.
* Battery saver mode-After a predetermined time without engine RPM, the ECM commands the
Battery Saver mode. During the Battery Saver mode, the TAC module removes the voltage from
the motor control circuits, which removes the current draw used to maintain the idle position and
allows the throttle to return to the spring loaded default position.
Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the ECM detects a condition with the TAC system, the ECM may enter a reduced engine
power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions:
* Acceleration limiting-The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control,
however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.
* Limited throttle mode-The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control,
however, the maximum throttle opening is limited.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

available, measurements may also be clearly and legibly handwritten into the Wheel Alignment
Repair Order Questionnaire attached to this bulletin.
4. Attach the Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire below along with the print-out of
"Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements to
the Repair Order and retain for use by GM.
Wheel Alignment Equipment and Process
Wheel alignments must be performed with a quality machine that will give accurate results when
performing checks. "External Reference" (image-based camera technology) is preferred. Please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-00-89-029B: General Motors Dealership Critical Equipment
Requirements and Recommendations.
Requirements:
- Computerized four wheel alignment system.
- Computer capable of printing before and after alignment reports.
- Computer capable of time and date stamp printout.
- Racking system must have jacking capability
- Racking system must be capable of level to 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
- Appropriate wheel stops and safety certification
- Built-in turn plates and slip plates
- Wheel clamps capable of attaching to 20" or larger wheels
- Racking capable of accepting any GM passenger car or light duty truck
- Operator properly trained and ASE-certified (U.S. only) in wheel alignment
Recommendations:
Racking should have front and rear jacking capability.
Equipment Maintenance and Calibration:
Alignment machines must be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information. Most
manufacturers recommend the following:
- Alignment machines with "internal reference" sensors should be checked (and calibrated, if
necessary) every six months.
- Alignment machines with "external reference" (image-based camera technology) should be
checked (and calibrated, if necessary) once a year.
- Racks must be kept level to within 1.6 mm (1/16 in).
- If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged in some way,
check the calibration immediately.
Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration
schedule.
Wheel Alignment Process
When performing wheel alignment measurement and/or adjustment, the following steps should be
taken:
Preliminary Steps:
1. Verify that the vehicle has a full tank of fuel (compensate as necessary). 2. Inspect the wheels
and the tires for damage. 3. Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. 4.
Inspect the wheel bearings for excessive play. 5. Inspect all suspension and steering parts for
looseness, wear, or damage. 6. Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to
stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. 7. Inspect the vehicle trim height. 8. Compensate
for frame angle on targeted vehicles (refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI).
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment angles. However, if the
wheel alignment angles are not within the range of specifications, adjust the wheel alignment to the
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI. Give consideration to excess loads,
such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. Follow the wheel alignment equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
Measure/Adjust:
Important Prior to making any adjustments to wheel alignment on a vehicle, technicians must verify
that the wheel alignment specifications loaded into their wheel alignment machine are up-to-date
by comparing these to the wheel alignment specifications for the appropriate model and model year
in SI. Using incorrect and/or outdated specifications may result in unnecessary adjustments,
irregular and/or premature tire wear and repeat customer concerns

Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in
removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to
installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper
readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY.
Notice
Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or
drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to
clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light
coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel
pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub.
Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage
Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse.
You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not
retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any
component suspected of damage.
Tip
Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged
BEFORE tightening the nut.
Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side
of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation.
Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque
Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid
additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown
for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in
order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off
center resulting in vibration.

Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).
Caution
Exceeding the recommended screw torque of 6 Nm (53 lb in) could result in the thread insert
pulling out of the handle base, as shown in the graphic above.
Replace the affected chrome outside door handle. Refer to Front Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement, Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement, or Rear Side Door Outside Handle

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2012 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 10-05-23-00A (Section 05 - Brakes).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a pulsation or vibration mostly concentrated in the steering
wheel during downhill descent as specifically described. This condition will most often begin as an
increasing rumbling noise coming from the underbody or the front of the vehicle. This condition is
exhibited mostly in mountainous regions.
Note
Use care to ensure the following diagnosis and repair are only attempted if the conditions and
concern match those listed, and if the concern can be duplicated under the same conditions.
This condition occurs ONLY under the following conditions:
- When the vehicle is driven as follows:
- On a downhill descent on a fairly steep grade (approximately 5% or greater).
- On taller hills (roughly 1.5‹›km [1‹›mi] road length or greater), without sharp turns.
- At speeds above 64‹›km/h (40‹›mph).
- Using the brakes just enough to maintain the speed limit when moving downhill.
- Typically, a rumbling noise will be heard first, building in intensity, followed by increasing
pulsation, or vibration, felt in the steering wheel, then typically felt in the floor panel.
- The condition will be eliminated once the vehicle is driven on relatively flat ground, typically for
1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi).
Cause
This condition may be caused by interaction between the front brake lining material and the front
brake rotors.
Correction
Important DO NOT attempt any repairs on the vehicle until you verify the specific condition is
present by following the steps below:
1. Warm up the vehicle by driving approximately 8 km (5 mi). 2. Drive the vehicle in the lane closest
to the side of the fairly steep grade (roughly 5 percent or greater), taller hill (roughly 1.5 km [1‹›mi]
road
length or greater), without sharp turns, and with a speed limit of 64 km/h (40 mph) or greater, with
the side windows down.
3. While in Drive, descending downhill, apply the brakes naturally, only as needed, to maintain the
speed limit. 4. Observe for noise, followed by pulsation/vibration. Observe where the noise,
pulsation and/or vibration are most noticeable. 5. Drive the vehicle on relatively flat ground for 1.5-3
km (1-2 mi) to verify that the condition goes away completely.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

8. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

Alignment: Description and Operation
Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when
viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear . Caster is
affected by the vehicle height, therefore it is important to keep the body at its designed height.
Overloading the vehicle or a weak or sagging rear spring will affect caster. When the rear of the
vehicle is lower than its designated trim height, the front suspension moves to a more positive
caster. If the rear of the vehicle is higher than its designated trim height, the front suspension
moves to a less positive caster.
With too little positive caster, steering may be touchy at high speed and wheel returnability may be
diminished when coming out of a turn. If one wheel has more positive caster than the other, that
wheel will pull toward the center of the vehicle. This condition will cause the vehicle to pull or lead
to the side with the least amount of positive caster.
Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at
the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical.
Camber settings influence the directional control and the tire wear.
Too much positive camber will result in premature wear on the outside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Too much negative camber will result in premature wear on the inside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Unequal side-to-side camber of 1 degree or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side
with the most positive camber.

1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is
often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or
a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If
broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note
Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable
of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and
other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below
in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable.

4. Apply 3M Automotive Adhesion Promoter 06396, or equivalent, to the underside of the reveal
molding seals.
Tip An approximate 600 mm (24 in) length of tape should allow for overlap at the top to be trimmed
back leaving a tail of release liner (1) and, at minimum, should reach the fender cut line at the
bottom.
5. Apply a 600 mm (24 in) length of 3M Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape 06386 (1.14 mm
(0.045 in) thick x 6.35 mm (0.25 in) wide), or
equivalent, to both sides of the windshield. Ensure the tape (1) position is centered between the
windshield edge (2) and the tape/grease pencil line (3). Do not remove the release lining from the
tape yet.
6. Reinstall the reveal molding to one side by sliding the molding downward and ensuring that the
top lip is engaged at the upper edge of the
windshield.

onto the subject vehicle.
- After match mounting, the tire/wheel assembly must be rebalanced.
If match mounting tires to in-spec wheels produces assembly values higher than these, tire
replacement may be necessary. Replacing tires at lower values will probably mean good tires are
being condemned. Because tires can sometimes become temporarily flat-spotted, which will affect
force variation, it is important that the vehicle be driven at least 16 km (10 mi) prior to measuring.
Tire pressure must also be adjusted to the usage pressure on the vehicle's tire placard prior to
measuring.
Most GM vehicles will tolerate radial force variation up to these levels. However, some vehicles are
more sensitive, and may require lower levels. Also, there are other tire parameters that equipment
such as the Hunter GSP9700 cannot measure that may be a factor. In such cases, TAC should be
contacted for further instructions.
Important
- When mounting a GM wheel to a wheel balancer/force variation machine, always use the wheel's
center pilot hole. This is the primary centering mechanism on all GM wheels; the bolt holes are
secondary. Usually a back cone method to the machine should be used. For added accuracy and
repeatability, a flange plate should be used to clamp the wheel onto the cone and machine. This
system is offered by all balancer manufacturers in GM's dealer program.
- Any type of service equipment that removes tread rubber by grinding, buffing or truing is NOT
recommended, and may void the tire warranty. However, tires may have been ground by the tire
company as part of their tire manufacturing process. This is a legitimate procedure.

Condition
Note
For the model year vehicles mentioned above, the "Directions and Connections" service package
will allow the driver to request directions from OnStar(R).
Vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) and a navigation radio may experience intermittent failure to
download directions to the navigation radio. Customers will call OnStar(R) for directions, OnStar(R)
will download the destination to the vehicle and the customer will hear "Your destination is being
sent to your vehicle. When safe and appropriate, press the Go button and follow instructions on
your navigation screen to begin your route." However, the customer may not see the Go button, or
the Go button on the navigation screen may be unresponsive, and therefore unable to be pressed
in order to start the directions.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- The navigation disc is not inserted in the radio. Some radios may display a message that states
that the map disc must be inserted for destination download.
- An OnStar(R) (VCIM) module software anomaly. The OnStar(R) destination download does not
complete communicating to the navigation radio within a certain time frame.
- A navigation radio software anomaly. This applies to 2008-2009 CTS and CTS-V vehicles with
RPO UAV.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the navigation radio for any of these conditions.

Subject: Air Conditioning Odor (Install Evaporator Core Dryer Kit and Apply Cooling Coil Coating)
Models:
1993-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 All
Equipped with Air Conditioning
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 and 2010 model years. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004B (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment about musty odors emitted from the Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) system at vehicle start-up in hot, humid conditions.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions. The odor may be the result of microbial growth on
the evaporator core. When the blower motor fan is turned on, the microbial growth may release an
unpleasant musty odor into the passenger compartment.
There are several other possible sources of a musty odor in a vehicle. A common source is a water
leak into the interior of the vehicle or foreign material in the HVAC air distribution system. Follow
the procedures in SI for identifying and correcting water leaks and air inlet inspection.
The procedure contained in this bulletin is only applicable if the odor source has been determined
to be microbial growth on the evaporator core inside the HVAC module.
Correction
Many vehicles currently incorporate an afterblow function within the HVAC control module
software. The afterblow feature, when enabled, employs the HVAC blower fan to dry the
evaporator after vehicle shut down and this function will inhibit microbial growth. Technicians are to
confirm that the customer concern is evaporator core odor and that the vehicle has the imbedded
afterblow feature, as defined in the SI document for that specific vehicle model, model year and
specific HVAC option. Refer to SI for enabling the afterblow function. Vehicles being delivered in
areas prone to high humidity conditions may benefit from having the afterblow enabled calibration
installed prior to any customer comment.
Important If the vehicle is not factory equipped with the imbedded afterblow enable feature, it may
be added with the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit (P/N 12497910 or AC Delco 15-5876).
Important When installing the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module, you MUST use the included
electrical splice connectors to ensure a proper splice. Complete detailed installation instructions
and self testing procedures are supplied with the kit. If necessary, the Electronic Evaporator Dryer
Module may be installed underhood if it is protected from extreme heat and water splash areas.
To immediately remove the evaporator core odor on all suspect vehicles, it is necessary to
eliminate the microbial growth and prevent its re-occurrence. To accomplish this, perform the
following procedure:
Vehicle and Applicator Tool Preparation
1. The evaporator core must be dry. This may be accomplished by disabling the compressor and
running the blower fan on the recirc heat setting for
an extended period of time.
Note Compressor engagement will cause the evaporator core to remain wet and will prevent full
adherence of the Coiling Coil Coating to the evaporator core surfaces.
2. Verify that the air conditioning drain hose is not clogged and place a drain pan beneath the
vehicle.

* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3). Refer to Ignition
System Specifications (See: Powertrain Management/Ignition System/Specifications) . An
excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Powertrain
Management/Ignition System/Specifications) . Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug
operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug.
* A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
* A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
Visual Inspection
* Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal
combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
* Carbon fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
* Leaking fuel injectors
* Excessive fuel pressure
* Restricted air filter element
* Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
* Weak ignition coils
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit fouling-Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark plug intensity. Most powdery deposits will not affect spark plug intensity
unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.

Subject: Tire Slowly Goes Flat, Tire Air Loss, Low Tire Pressure Warning Light Illuminated,
Aluminum Wheel Bead Seat Corrosion (Clean and Resurface Wheel Bead Seat)
Models:
2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or
weeks.
Cause
Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat.
There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and
this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear
continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the
environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may
appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be
visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in
an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum
Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant)
Correction
In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below.
Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to
repair the wheel with the procedure below.
Notice
The repair is no longer advised or applicable for chromed aluminum wheels.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly for diagnosis. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and
Installation in SI. 2. After a water dunk tank leak test, if you determine the source of the air leak to
be around the bead seat of the wheel, dismount the tire to examine
the bead seat. Shown below is a typical area of bead seat corrosion.Typical Location of Bead Seat

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by
spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature
contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil
control circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). The ODM
output control is configured to operate as a low side driver for the powertrain relay. The ODM for
the powertrain relay also incorporates a fault detection circuit, which is continuously monitored by
the ECM. When the ECM commands the powertrain relay ON, ignition 1 voltage is supplied to the
ECM, and to several additional circuits.
Diagnostic Aids
This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely
charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See: Starting and Charging/Testing and

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Important Other forms of slow air leaks are possible. If the body of the tire, valve stem and wheel
flange show no signs of air seepage, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-003D for
additional information on possible wheel porosity issues.
3. Bead seat corrosion is identified by what appears like blistering of the wheel finish, causing a
rough or uneven surface that is difficult for the tire to
maintain a proper seal on. Below is a close-up photo of bead seat corrosion on an aluminum wheel
that was sufficient to cause slow air loss. Close-Up of Bead Seat Corrosion
4. If corrosion is found on the wheel bead seat, measure the affected area as shown below.
- For vehicles with 32,186 km (20,000 mi) or less, the total allowable combined linear area of
repairable corrosion is 100 mm (4 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
- For vehicles that have exceeded 32,186 km (20,000 mi), the total allowable combined linear area
of repairable corrosion is 200 mm (8 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
5. In order to correct the wheel leak, use a clean-up (fine cut) sanding disc or biscuit to remove the
corrosion and any flaking paint. You should
remove the corrosion back far enough until you reach material that is stable and firmly bonded to
the wheel. Try to taper the edge of any flaking paint as best you can in order to avoid sharp edges
that may increase the chance of a leak reoccurring. The photo below shows an acceptable repaired
surface.
Notice Corrosion that extends up the lip of the wheel, where after the clean-up process it would be
visible with the tire mounted, is only acceptable on the inboard flange. The inboard flange is not
visible with the wheel assembly in the mounted position. If any loose coatings or corrosion extend
to the visible surfaces on the FACE of the wheel, that wheel must be replaced.
Important Remove ONLY the material required to eliminate the corrosion from the bead seating
surface. DO NOT remove excessive amounts of material. ALWAYS keep the sealing surface as
smooth and level as possible.

Description and Operation
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance
enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) control, a wider engine torque range, improved gas mileage, and improved
engine idle stability. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of
intake and exhaust valve overlap. For the 6.0 liter (LFA) engine, the park position for the CMP
actuator and camshaft is 14.5 degrees after top dead center (ATDC), or 29 crankshaft degrees
ATDC. The engine control module (ECM) can only command the CMP actuator to advance the
valve timing from the park position, or retard the valve timing back to the park position. The total
range of valve timing authority is 23 degrees camshaft rotation, or 46 degrees of crankshaft
rotation. The control range is from the park position of 14.5 degrees camshaft, or 29 degrees
crankshaft ATDC, to 8.5 degrees camshaft or 17 degrees crankshaft before top dead center
(BTDC).
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the control module. The control
module sends a pulse width modulated 12-volt signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control
the amount of engine oil flow to a camshaft actuator passage. There are 2 different passages for oil
to flow through, a passage for CAM advance and a passage for CAM retard. The camshaft actuator
is attached to the front of the camshaft, and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle
of the camshaft relative to crankshaft position (CKP). Engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity,
temperature, engine oil level, and aftermarket engine oil additives can have an adverse affect on
camshaft phaser performance.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Circuit Diagnostic
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the control circuit of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator solenoid for electrical faults. The control module has the ability to determine if a control
circuit is open, shorted high, or shorted low. If the control module detects a fault with the CMP
actuator solenoid control, DTC P0010 will set.

5. Use the J 38125-12A tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the left side of the
terminal release cavity as shown in the graphic. Use
the tool to move the terminal release to the right with a gentle prying motion. See the release tool
cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is
used.
6. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.

Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when
viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear . Caster is
affected by the vehicle height, therefore it is important to keep the body at its designed height.
Overloading the vehicle or a weak or sagging rear spring will affect caster. When the rear of the
vehicle is lower than its designated trim height, the front suspension moves to a more positive
caster. If the rear of the vehicle is higher than its designated trim height, the front suspension
moves to a less positive caster.
With too little positive caster, steering may be touchy at high speed and wheel returnability may be
diminished when coming out of a turn. If one wheel has more positive caster than the other, that
wheel will pull toward the center of the vehicle. This condition will cause the vehicle to pull or lead
to the side with the least amount of positive caster.
Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at
the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical.
Camber settings influence the directional control and the tire wear.
Too much positive camber will result in premature wear on the outside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Too much negative camber will result in premature wear on the inside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Unequal side-to-side camber of 1 degree or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side
with the most positive camber.

hot particles embed themselves in the chrome layer and create a small pit. If the material is allowed
to sit on the wheel while it is exposed to moisture or salt, it will corrode the wheel beneath the
chrome leaving a pit or small blister in the chrome.
Heavy brake dust build-up should be removed from wheels by using GM Chrome Cleaner and
Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada use 10953013). For moderate cleaning, light brake dust build-up
or water spots use GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use Meguiars
Plast-X(TM) Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish #G12310C**). After cleaning, the wheel should be
waxed using GM Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, use Meguiars Cleaner Wax
#M0616C**), which will help protect the wheel from brake dust and reduce adhesion of any brake
dust that gets on the wheel surface. For general maintenance cleaning, PEEK Metal Polish† may
be used. It will clean and shine the chrome and leave behind a wax coating that may help protect
the finish.
Warranty of Stardust Corroded Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of neglect and brake dust build-up may be
replaced one time.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean and free of prolonged exposure to brake dust
build-up. "GM of Canada" dealers require prior approval by the District Manager - Customer Care
and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
Customer Assistance and Instructions
GM has looked for ways customers may improve the appearance of wheels damaged by acidic
cleaners. The following product and procedure has been found to dramatically improve the
appearance of stained wheels. For wheels that have milky stains caused by acidic cleaners try the
following:
Notice
THE 3M CHROME AND METAL POLISH REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE IS AN
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE POLISH/CLEANER. THE WHEELS MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE
APPLICATION TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE WHEEL SURFACE. THIS PRODUCT WILL
REDUCE THE THICKNESS OF THE CHROME PLATING ON THE WHEEL AND IF USED
INCORRECTLY OR EXCESSIVELY MAY REMOVE THE CHROME PLATING ALL TOGETHER,
EXPOSING A LESS BRIGHT AND BRASSY COLORED SUB-LAYER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1. Wash the wheels with vigorously with soap and water. This step will clean and may reduce
wheel staining. Flood all areas of the wheel with water
to rinse.
2. Dry the wheels completely.
Notice Begin with a small section of the wheel and with light pressure buff off polish and examine
results. ONLY apply and rub with sufficient force and time to remove enough staining that you are
satisfied with the results. Some wheels may be stained to the extent that you may only achieve a
50% improvement while others may be able to be restored to the original lustre. IN ALL CASES,
only apply until the results are satisfactory.
3. Apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527* with a clean terry cloth towel. As you apply the
polish, the staining will be diminished. 4. When dry, buff off the polish with a clean portion of the
towel. 5. Repeat application of the 3M Chrome and Metal Polish until satisfied with the results. If
continued applications fail to improve the appearance
further discontinue use.
This procedure will improve the appearance of the wheels and may, with repeated applications,
restore the finish dramatically. For wheels that exhibit spotting from road chemicals the above
procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
In this type of staining the wheel finish has actually been removed in spots and no manner of
cleaning will restore the finish.

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange
to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect
the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to
a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency
measured.
Measuring Voltage
Measuring Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable
the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
* Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
* Turn ON the engine.
* Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Customer Concerns and Confusion with the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
The following procedure should be used by dealership service consultants when a customer comes
into the service drive with a "low tire light" on or comments on a check tire pressure/low tire
pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message. The service consultant should
perform the following steps:
Procedure
Turn the key to ON, without starting the engine.
^ If the low tire light comes on and stays on solid with a check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add
air to tire message (on vehicles equipped with DIC),
advise the customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Properly adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels and driving the vehicle will turn
the light off (refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
^ If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light blinks for one minute then stays on solid with a service
tire monitor system message (on vehicles equipped
with DIC):
- A TPM system problem exists. The vehicle should be written up accordingly and sent to your
service department for further DTC diagnosis and service.
- If dashes (--) are displayed in only one or two of the tire pressure readouts, it is likely caused by a
previous TPM system relearn that was performed incorrectly due to interference from another
vehicle's TPM system during the relearn process (refer to the Important statement later in this
bulletin regarding TPM relearn with a Tech 2(R)).
- If dashes (--) are displayed in all four of the tire pressure readouts, there is a system problem.
Follow the appropriate SI service procedures.
^ If a customer indicates the low tire light comes on for a few minutes when the vehicle is started,
then goes off after driving a while, advise the
customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Most likely, air pressure in one or more of the tires is low enough to turn the light on when tires
are cold. After driving for a while, tires will heat

A CMP actuator dynamically changes valve timing events relative to piston timing by controlling
camshaft position. This is sometimes referred to as variable valve timing or camshaft phasing.
Variable valve timing or camshaft phasing does not change duration or lift.
* By advancing camshaft timing, an improvement in low end torque can be achieved.
* By retarding camshaft timing slightly, an improvement in high end power can be achieved.
* By retarding camshaft timing significantly, an improvement in light load fuel economy can be
achieved.
There are 5 cavities divided by vanes within the CMP actuator.
* When oil is directed to the advance cavities (1), the camshaft timing is advanced.
* When oil is directed to the retard cavities (2), the camshaft timing is retarded.
* When oil is directed to both cavities, the camshaft is held stationary.
The 6.0L LFA CMP actuator has a 46 degree range of authority. With the engine not running and
no engine oil pressure to the CMP actuator, the high tension spring positions camshaft timing at the
29 degree retard park position. During normal engine operation, and based on performance
requirements, the ECM may adjust camshaft timing, as required, within a range from 29 degrees
retard to 17 degrees advanced.

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General

If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

THIS PROGRAM IS IN EFFECT UNTIL OCTOBER 31, 2011.
Condition
Certain 2008-09 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon; 2009 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado,
and GMC Sierra vehicles, equipped with a Two-Mode Hybrid Transmission (RPO M99), may have
a condition in which excessive pressure on the transmission clutch could cause a fracture. This
may result in an improper transmission shift when shifting from third to fourth gear. It may also
cause the engine to run at a higher RPM, reduce fuel economy, and illuminate the Service Engine
Soon light.
Correction
Dealers are to reprogram the transmission controller to reduce the clutch pressure. Some vehicles
will also require the replacement of the control solenoid valve.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008-09 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon; 2009 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet
Silverado, and GMC Sierra vehicles, equipped with a Two-Mode Hybrid Transmission (RPO M99),
and built within these VIN breakpoints:
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints
may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note
Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Condition
Some customers may comment on an engine valve lifter tick noise that occurs after the engine has
been shut off for at least two hours. The tick noise may last from two seconds to ten minutes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- Aerated oil in the valve lifter body, resulting in the valve lifter being unable to purge the air quickly.
- A low engine oil level or incorrect oil viscosity.
- Dirty or contaminated oil.
- A low internal valve lifter oil reservoir level.
- Debris in the valve lifter.
- A high valve lifter leak down rate.
Correction
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate the cause of this valve lifter tick noise and normal oil pressure is
noted during the concern, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the engine oil condition and level. Refer to Owner Manual > Service and Appearance
Care > Checking Things Under the Hood >
Description and Operation > Engine Oil in SI.
‹› If the engine oil is more than one quart low, an incorrect oil viscosity is being used or if poor
quality/contamination is observed, change the oil
and filter.
Note

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .

Distortion in the outer surface of the windshield glass, door glass or backlite glass may appear after
the vehicle has:
- Accumulated some mileage.
- Been frequently washed in automatic car washes, particularly "touchless" car washes.
This distortion may look like a subtle orange peel pattern, or may look like a drip or sag etched into
the surface of the glass.
Some car wash solutions contain a buffered solution of hydrofluoric acid which is used to clean the
glass. This should not cause a problem if used in the correct concentration. However, if not used
correctly, hydrofluoric acid will attack the glass, and over time, will cause visual distortion in the
outer surface of the glass which cannot be removed by scraping or polishing.
If this condition is suspected, look at the area of the windshield under the wipers or below the belt
seal on the side glass. The area of the glass below the wipers or belt seal will not be affected and
what looks like a drip or sag may be apparent at the edge of the wiper or belt seal. You may also
see a line on the glass where the wiper blade or the belt seal contacts the glass.
Important The repair will require replacing the affected glass and is not a result of a defect in
material or workmanship. Therefore, is not covered by New Vehicle Warranty.

of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

and Program ECU , even though a new BCM is NOT being installed. 6. Reprogram the BCM using
the Service Programming System (SPS) with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to
the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the
longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design
connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.
1. Disconnect the connector from the component.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the Air Bag Readiness Light is on. There may also be a
Service Air Bag Message on the Driver Information Center (DIC). Upon further investigation, the
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) may be corroded.
Cause
This condition may be caused by an unseated parking brake cable grommet causing water
intrusion under the carpet or vinyl floor, resulting in wet padding. Power washing the vinyl floor
and/or customer snow boots can introduce water to the padding above the SDM area. As the
padding gets wet, water wicks through the padding towards the SDM over time. Over an extended
period of time of constant exposure to water with potential salt/calcium and other elements, the
SDM surface starts to corrode.
Correction
1. Replace the SDM per SI procedures. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic
Module Replacement in SI. 2. Inspect the SDM connector for corrosion. If corrosion is evident,
repair or replace the connector. Refer to SIR/SRS Wiring Repairs in SI. 3. Verify the parking brake
cable grommet is sealed properly.
Important Cut and remove the padding from around the SDM as instructed whenever the SDM is
serviced even if no corrosion is evident to prevent future moisture and corrosion to the SDM and
connector.
4. Cut and remove padding from the area around and above the SDM. Refer to illustration above.
Make an addition cut to remove all of the padding
above the SDM.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the engine
operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to an extra load on the generator. To help identify an
intermittent or an improper condition, vary the loads on the accessory drive components.
The drive belt may have a rumbling condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the
drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the
drive belts are installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the
load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is
causing the rumbling noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This test is to verify that
the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may cause a similar
symptom. 3. This test is to verify that one of the drive belts is causing the rumbling noise or
vibration. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the
description. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine
may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4.
Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure that they are not causing the noise. Small cracks across the
ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation is identified by the plys of the belt
separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt or felt as a lump in the belt. 5. Small amounts
of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have
a smooth surface for proper operation. 9. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility
that the wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 11. Inspect the water pump shaft for being
bent. Also inspect the water pump bearings for smooth operation and excessive play. Compare the
water pump with a known good water pump. 12. Accessory drive component brackets that are
bent, cracked, or loose may put extra strain on that accessory component causing it to vibrate.

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add cast iron block engine RPOs and to update the
Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Cause
- This condition may be caused by a malfunctioning object sensor or a circuit fault on the 8 volt
reference circuit.
Note The 8 volt reference circuit serves all of the object sensors in parallel. A fault anywhere on the
circuit or in any single sensor will affect all of the sensors.
- When a single sensor malfunctions, the shared 8 volt reference circuit may be compromised,
resulting in a DTC for each sensor.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace all of the object sensors and/or the object alarm module.
If normal diagnosis does not reveal any concerns with the park assist system, perform the following
diagnostic procedure:
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
Note Depending on the model year of the vehicle the park assist system sensors are referred to as:
object sensor or object alarm sensor.
2. Disconnect the harness connector at each of the object sensors. For the locations of the object
sensors, refer to Master Electrical Component List
in SI.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Important With all of the object sensor harness connectors disconnected, multiple sensor DTCs will
set and will not clear. Ignore these DTCs for now.
4. Clear any DTCs that may be present.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 V,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
Testing for Continuity Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control
module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM.
5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.

The front axle vent hose is mounted in the left side of the engine compartment, and may not be
correctly routed. The vent hose can get misrouted and placed in a position that is lower than the
front axle harness/engine harness in-line connector. In this position, the vent tube may ingest
water. The front axle vent hose may be routed to the wheel side of the wheel well. It may be
hanging through the opening of the wheel well in a vertical position, with the vent cap hanging
down.
If you encounter a vehicle with the front axle vent hose misrouted, reroute the hose to the correct
location. The hose should be mounted inside the engine compartment, in an upward position to
prevent the possibility of water being drawn into the hose and axle assembly during cool-down.
Tape the vent hose to the nearby wiring harness as shown. Technicians should also change the

connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

vehicle's occupant(s) input or knowledge. Customer initiated Blue Button call, Emergency calls,
and Automatic Crash Notification calls will also fail to establish a data connection with the
OnStar(R) Call Center. Eventually, the customer's call will connect as a voice only line and the
customer will be able to talk with an OnStar(R) advisor; however, the advisor will not get crucial
customer data such as vehicle identification and location.
Correction
Dealers/retailers are to replace the OnStar(R) module (VCIM).
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R), and built within
these VIN breakpoints:

results from the alteration or modification of a vehicle using non-GM approved parts or accessories.
Dealers should be especially cautious of accessory companies that claim the installation of their
product will not void the factory warranty. Many times these companies have even given direction
on how to quickly disassemble the accessory in an attempt to preclude the manufacturer from
finding out that is has been installed.
Any suspect repairs should be reviewed by the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM), and in Canada
by the Warranty Manager (WM) for appropriate repair direction. If it is decided that a goodwill repair
is to be made on the vehicle, even with the installation of such non-GM approved components, the
customer is to be made aware of General Motors position on this issue and is to sign the
appropriate goodwill documentation required by General Motors.
It is imperative for dealers to understand that by installing such devices, they are jeopardizing not
only the warranty coverage, but also the performance and reliability of the customer's vehicle.

Note
A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid
graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making
the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason
the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the
reinstallation.

The 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pump, P/N 19207983, has a different connector that does not
match previous model year service transmissions. Internally, the 2010 auxiliary fluid pump is
identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid
pump control module utilizing a replacement service connector on the control module.
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump service part will be replaced by the 2010 version
and will be required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. Service replacement for these
vehicles will also require a replacement service connector to interface with a 2008-2009
transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module.
Transmission Auxiliary Fluid Pump Control Module
The 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump control module service part will be replaced by
the 2010 version and is required to service 2008-2009 model year vehicles. The 2010 transmission
auxiliary fluid pump control module, P/N 29546636, includes different connectors that do not match
previous model year transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and engine wiring harnesses. Internally, the
2010 auxiliary fluid pump control module is identical to the 2008-2009 pump and will interface with
a 2008-2009 transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness utilizing replacement
service connectors on the transmission auxiliary fluid pump and engine wiring harness.
Instructions
Follow the tables below when servicing 2008 and 2009 model year vehicles with the above hybrid
service transmissions, 2010 transmission auxiliary fluid pumps and 2010 transmission auxiliary
fluid pump control modules.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-08-48-005C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Distortion in the outer surface of the windshield glass, door glass or backlite glass may appear after
the vehicle has:
- Accumulated some mileage.
- Been frequently washed in automatic car washes, particularly "touchless" car washes.
This distortion may look like a subtle orange peel pattern, or may look like a drip or sag etched into
the surface of the glass.
Some car wash solutions contain a buffered solution of hydrofluoric acid which is used to clean the
glass. This should not cause a problem if used in the correct concentration. However, if not used
correctly, hydrofluoric acid will attack the glass, and over time, will cause visual distortion in the
outer surface of the glass which cannot be removed by scraping or polishing.
If this condition is suspected, look at the area of the windshield under the wipers or below the belt
seal on the side glass. The area of the glass below the wipers or belt seal will not be affected and
what looks like a drip or sag may be apparent at the edge of the wiper or belt seal. You may also
see a line on the glass where the wiper blade or the belt seal contacts the glass.
Important The repair will require replacing the affected glass and is not a result of a defect in
material or workmanship. Therefore, is not covered by New Vehicle Warranty.

Attention:
This bulletin should be distributed and reviewed by the Service Manager and Service Advisors. A
copy of this bulletin may be given to your customer to assist in explaining the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter operation.
This bulletin provides information regarding any remote keyless entry/transmitter (key fob) that may
be inoperative intermittently or in which a particular button(s) does not work.
To prevent transmitter battery drain, the RKE transmitter will disable any button or buttons that are
depressed longer than 30 seconds. The disabled button or buttons will remain disabled until
another button that has not been disabled is pressed.
If a button or buttons on a transmitter are not functioning, or if a transmitter cannot be programmed
to a vehicle, press and release each and every button on the fob one at a time until you find one
that works then retest the other buttons. If all buttons are now working, the button(s) were disabled
and the transmitter is working as designed.
If the transmitter still fails to function properly, use the J-43241 tester and follow normal diagnostics
as shown in SI.

Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions )provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the engine control module (ECM) supplies power to the in-tank fuel
pump, by energizing the fuel pump relay. The in-tank fuel pump remains ON as long as the engine
is cranking or running and the ECM receives crankshaft reference pulses. If there are no reference
pulses, the ECM turns the in-tank fuel pump OFF, 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON
or 2 seconds after the engine stops running. The electric fuel pump is incorporated into the modular
fuel pump and sender assembly and is located inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies fuel
through a fuel filter, also located in the modular fuel pump and sender assembly, through the fuel
feed pipes, to the fuel rail assembly. The fuel pump provides fuel at a pressure above the pressure
needed by the fuel injectors. The fuel pressure regulator, located in the modular fuel pump and
sender assembly, keeps the fuel available to the fuel injectors at a regulated pressure. When the
fuel pressure rises above the pressure regulator calibration, the pressure is relieved, with excess
fuel exhausted into the modular fuel pump and sender assembly reservoir.

* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3). Refer to Ignition
System Specifications (See: Ignition System/Specifications) . An excessively wide electrode gap
can prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Ignition
System/Specifications) . Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over
torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug.
* A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
* A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
Visual Inspection
* Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal
combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
* Carbon fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
* Leaking fuel injectors
* Excessive fuel pressure
* Restricted air filter element
* Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
* Weak ignition coils
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit fouling-Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark plug intensity. Most powdery deposits will not affect spark plug intensity
unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.

If the thrust angle is not set properly the vehicle may "dog track", the steering wheel may not be
centered or it could be perceived as a bent axle. Thrust angle can be checked during a wheel
alignment.
Positive thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the right hand side (RHS) of the vehicle.
Negative thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the left hand side (LHS) of the vehicle.
If the thrust angle is out of specification, moving the axle to body relationship will change the thrust
angle reading.
If the vehicle is out in the Positive (+) direction-moving the RHS forward and/or LHS rearward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.
If the vehicle is out in the Negative (-) direction-moving the RHS rearward and/or LHS forward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.
Lead/Pull Description
Lead/Pull Description
At a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at
the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight path.
Important: Vehicles will tend to lead/pull in the direction of the road slope as part of normal
operation.
Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors:
* Road slope
* Variability in tire construction
* Wheel alignment (front cross caster and camber)
* Unbalanced steering gear
* Electronic Power Steering (EPS) steering position and torque sensors not calibrated correctly, if
equipped.
Wander Description
Wander Description
Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external
disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause
the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius.
A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive
vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub
radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected
geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Warning
Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure connection in order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury. The towel will absorb any fuel leakage that occurs during the connection of the fuel
pressure gage. Place the towel in an approved container when the connection of the fuel pressure
gage is complete.
1. Wrap a shop towel around the fuel rail service port. 2. Place the hose on the CH-48027-2 (2) into
an approved gasoline container. 3. Open the valve on the CH-48027-2 (2) in order to bleed any fuel
from the fuel rail. 4. Close the valve on the CH-48027-2 (2). 5. Remove the hose on the
CH-48027-2 (2) from the approved gasoline container. 6. Remove the shop towel from around the

5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Tire Monitor System - TPM Sensor Information
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003
Date: May 12, 2008
Subject: Warranty Reduction - Transfer of Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors to
Replacement Wheels and Allowable TPM Sensor Replacements
Models: 2000-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009
HUMMER H2 2006-2009 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7x
with On-Wheel TPM Sensors
TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-46-002C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on an audio whine coming from the radio speakers when using the
OnStar(R) system. The amplitude and frequency of the whine will change with an increase or
decrease in engine speed.
Cause
This condition may be caused by electrical noise on the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication
Interface Module (VCIM) battery feed wire being passed to the microphone output pins at the radio.
Correction
Technicians are to install a noise suppression filter, P/N 1224205, into the OnStar(R) battery
voltage circuit, a few centimeters (inches) from the VCIM. The filter package has three attached
wires - a single yellow wire at one end with a yellow wire and a black wire at the other. Install the
single yellow wire side into the battery voltage circuit towards the VCIM. Install the remaining single
yellow wire into the battery voltage circuit toward the fuse and the black wire to ground.
Important The noise suppression filter is polarity sensitive. The filter is designed to be most
effective when the end with the capacitor ground is connected towards the source of the electrical
noise. Install the filter in this polarity first. If the noise level is still not satisfactory, try disconnecting
the capacitor ground. In some cases, if the first installation does not correct the noise, try reversing
the filter polarity (removing the filter, turning it end for end and then reinstalling it) and grounding
the capacitor lead.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

onto the subject vehicle.
- After match mounting, the tire/wheel assembly must be rebalanced.
If match mounting tires to in-spec wheels produces assembly values higher than these, tire
replacement may be necessary. Replacing tires at lower values will probably mean good tires are
being condemned. Because tires can sometimes become temporarily flat-spotted, which will affect
force variation, it is important that the vehicle be driven at least 16 km (10 mi) prior to measuring.
Tire pressure must also be adjusted to the usage pressure on the vehicle's tire placard prior to
measuring.
Most GM vehicles will tolerate radial force variation up to these levels. However, some vehicles are
more sensitive, and may require lower levels. Also, there are other tire parameters that equipment
such as the Hunter GSP9700 cannot measure that may be a factor. In such cases, TAC should be
contacted for further instructions.
Important
- When mounting a GM wheel to a wheel balancer/force variation machine, always use the wheel's
center pilot hole. This is the primary centering mechanism on all GM wheels; the bolt holes are
secondary. Usually a back cone method to the machine should be used. For added accuracy and
repeatability, a flange plate should be used to clamp the wheel onto the cone and machine. This
system is offered by all balancer manufacturers in GM's dealer program.
- Any type of service equipment that removes tread rubber by grinding, buffing or truing is NOT
recommended, and may void the tire warranty. However, tires may have been ground by the tire
company as part of their tire manufacturing process. This is a legitimate procedure.

When diagnosing vibration concerns, use the following worksheet in conjunction with the
appropriate Vibration Analysis-Road testing procedure in the Vibration Correction sub-section in SI.

USB Radio and MP3 Functionality
The universal serial bus (USB) will be a USB 2.0 port on the radio faceplate, on the IP or in the
center console. This interface will give the customer the additional functionality of iPod(R)/MP3
command and control. Customers now have full radio control of the iPod/MP3 audio files via the
USB cable. A single USB connection allows digital audio transferring from the iPod to the radio.
The iPod will be charging while connected to the radio. The customer will also have playback
capability with a USB memory stick (only MP3 and WMA files).
Note
Not all memory sticks are supported.
Note
Video from the iPod is NOT capable of being transferred to a Navigation radio display.
Problems with iPod Not Connecting
If the infotainment system does not operate properly when using a device connected through the
USB port, this may be due to an incompatible media device.
Important DO NOT replace the radio or multimedia interface module due to a customer device
incompatibility issue.
Verify the customer's media device is validated for this system using the list below. If the
customer's device is a validated device for this system, follow the SI diagnostic procedure to isolate
the fault. If the customer's device is not on the validated device list, explain to the customer that
their particular unit is not compatible with the system.
Troubleshooting Tips for iPod Devices
1. Verify the version of the iPod/MP3 to confirm that it is supported. 2. Unplug and re-insert the
iPod to verify the customer concern. 3. Verify the battery charge of the iPod. A low battery condition
on the iPod may not allow it to connect to the radio. The iPod may need to be
charged before it can be controlled by the radio.
4. If the customer receives a "Device Not Supported" message on their radio or is having general
iPod/MP3 connection issues (and they have a
supported device), they may need to reset their iPod. To reset the iPod: -
For the iPod nano(R) and iPod classic(R), toggle the Hold switch on and off (slide it to Hold, then
turn it off again). Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the
Apple(R) logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
- For the iPod touch(R) and iPhone(R): Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
until the red slider appears, then slide the slider.
5. For iPod touch and iPhone: To obtain full use capabilities of their device, it needs to be fully
powered up when connecting to the USB port. If
these devices are fully powered down or in "sleep" mode, please advise the customer to press and
hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the device for a few seconds and if an unlock pass code
is required, to enter the pass code as well as slide the lower "Unlock" slider.
6. Have the customer inspect their cable for quality.

Heated Seats Description and Operation
Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heated Seats Description and Operation
Heated Seats Description and Operation
Heated Seat Components
The driver and passenger heated seat system consists of the following components:
* Heated seat switch
* Door lock/window switch
* Memory seat module
* Seat cushion heating element
* Seat back heating element
* Seat cushion temperature sensor
* Seat back temperature sensor
Modes of Operation
The heated seat module (MSM) controls heated seat operation for both the driver and passenger
seats. There are 2 modes of operation available for heated seats; both the seat cushion and seat
back heat, or seat back only heat. When a heated seat temperature signal request is received, the
MSM will activate both the seat cushion and seat back heating elements. When the heated seat
BACK ONLY mode button is pressed once the MSM will deactivate the seat cushion heating
element and leave the seat back heating element ON.
Heated Seat Switch/LED Indicators and System Operation
The left and right heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches located in the door
panels. Ground is supplied to the heated seat switches through the switch low reference circuits
from their respective door lock/window switches. The door lock/window switches also control the
heated seat switch heat mode and temperature indicators. The memory seat module (MSM)
controls the heated seat operation for both, the left and right heated seats.
The following describes the sequence of operation and how the MSM responds to each of the
switch inputs.
* High Temperature-When the heated seat switch is pressed once, ground is applied through the
switch contacts and the switch signal circuit to the door lock/window switch indicating the high heat
request. In response to this signal, the door lock/window switch applies a low current voltage
through the 3 temperature indicator control circuits illuminating all 3 LEDs indicating the high
temperature mode. The switch then sends a message via the GMLAN serial data line to the MSM
indicating the heated seat request. The MSM then applies battery voltage through the heating
element supply voltage circuit to the seat cushion and seat back heating elements. At the same
time, it supplies a ground through the element low reference circuits to the seat heating elements.
* Medium Temperature-When the switch is pressed a second time, the MSM sets the temperature
level to medium heat. The door lock/window switch removes the voltage from the high temperature
indicator leaving 2 LEDs illuminated indicating the medium temperature mode.
* Low Temperature-When the switch is pressed a third time, the MSM sets the temperature level to
low heat. The door lock/window switch removes the voltage from the medium temperature indicator
leaving 1 LED illuminated indicating the low temperature mode.
* System OFF State-When the switch is pressed a fourth time, the MSM removes the battery
voltage and grounds from the heating elements. The door lock/window switch removes the voltage
from the low temperature indicator, indicating the system OFF state.
* Back Only Mode-When the heated seat is ON and the BACK ONLY mode button is pressed,
ground is applied through the switch contacts and the heated seat back only mode signal circuit to
the door lock/window switch. In response to this signal, the door lock/window switch sends a
GMLAN message to the MSM indicating the back only mode request. The MSM then opens the
ground path to the seat cushion heater element, leaving the seat back heater active. The door
lock/window switch turns OFF the seat cushion/back mode indicator, then applies a low current
voltage through the heated seat back only mode indicator control circuit illuminating the back only
mode indicator.
Temperature Regulation
The heated seat system is designed to warm the seat cushion and seat back to 3 different
temperature settings; High, MED, and Low. The memory seat module (MSM) monitors the seat
temperature through the temperature sensor signal circuits and the temperature sensors
(thermistor) that are located in the seat cushion and the seat back. The temperature sensors are
variable resistors, their resistance varies as the temperature of the seat changes. When the
temperature sensor resistance indicates to the MSM that the seat has reached the desired
temperature, the module opens the ground path of the seat heating elements through the heated
seat element control circuit. The module will then cycle the element control circuit open and closed
in order to maintain the desired temperature.
Load Management
The electrical power management function is designed to monitor the vehicle electrical load and
determine when the battery is potentially in a high discharge condition. The heated seat system is
one of the vehicle loads that is subject to reduction during a battery discharge condition. For more
information on load management refer toElectrical Power Management Description and Operation
(See: Starting and Charging/Description and Operation) .

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Follow these procedures if a customer comments that their GM Accessory 2-way transmitter
stopped communicating with the vehicle.
About GM Accessory 2-Way Remote Start
The GM Accessory 2-way transmitter has the ability to operate a second vehicle equipped with a
2-way advanced remote start system, but often the 2-way transmitter may only be coded to one
vehicle. If the customer presses the left side button twice within one second, the 2-way transmitter
will enter second vehicle mode and will not control the original vehicle until a subsequent double
press of the left side button places the transmitter back in first vehicle mode. Each vehicle mode of
the 2-way transmitter should be thought of as an individual transmitter with its own unique code.
Test the Transmitter Battery
Note
This test should be performed prior to releasing the vehicle or transmitter to the customer.
All transmitter batteries should be tested immediately after installation of a 2-way remote start kit or
replacement of a transmitter battery using the following procedure.
1. Press the unlock button on the transmitter eight times consecutively. 2. After the eighth press of
the unlock button, observe the battery gauge located in the upper right corner of the LCD display.
The gauge should read
full (three bars inside the battery icon).
If after having a new battery installed, the battery goes dead within five months, the transmitter
could have high sleep current, causing the battery to go dead. Replace the transmitter.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition
exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be
performed.
Determine if Transmitter is in Second Vehicle Mode
1. Press and release any of the face buttons on the 2-way transmitter and observe the display on
power-up. 2. If the 2-way transmitter is in second vehicle mode, the second vehicle icon will be
displayed on the left side of the transmitter display. Is the 2-way
transmitter in second vehicle mode?
If Yes, the 2-way transmitter is working properly.
- Press and release the left side button twice within one second. The 2-way transmitter should exit
second vehicle mode.
- Press and release the lock button. Press and release the unlock button.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note

J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.
1. Access and remove the seat bolts/nuts. 2. Adjust the seat rearward about halfway. Adjust the
seat recline full forward. 3. Tilt the seat backward to access the bottom of the seat. Prop the seat
up with a suitable tool if required.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.

Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The engine control module (ECM) is the control center of this
system. The ECM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The ECM constantly monitors
the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and emissions. The ECM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the
system. The ECM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the ECM.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display
as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON:
The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required.
The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
* The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to
ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
* The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
* The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an
emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test
Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
* The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic
converter.
* When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the
ignition is ON.
* When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
is cycled OFF and then ON.

Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing
Page 9379
6. Using the J 34672 , measure the distance from the edge of the inner axle shaft to the surface of
the J 34673 . Ensure the base of the J 34672 is
flat against the inner axle shaft.
7. Using the J 34672 , measure the distance from the machined surface of the differential carrier
housing to the outer surface of the front drive axle
clutch shaft.
8. Subtract the measurement obtained in step 6 from the measurement obtained in step 7.
This measurement is the distance between the inner axle shaft and the clutch shaft before
subtracting the J 34673 .
9. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the J 34673 .
10. Subtract the thickness of the J 34673 , measured in step 9, from the measurement determined
in step 8.
This is the shim thickness for the front axle without having any axle shaft endplay.
11. The correct shim size will be one size smaller than the figure obtained in the previous step.
Note the following examples:
* If the figure obtained in step 8 was 3.53 mm (0.139 in), use a 3.30 mm (0.130 in) shim.
* If the figure obtained in step 8 was 3.30 mm (0.130 in), use a 3.05 mm (0.120 in) shim.
Alternate Adjustment Method
Note
Use this method only if the proper tools for calculating the shim size are unavailable.
1. Install the original shim to the shaft.
Use the chassis grease in order to hold the shim in place.
2. Install the inner axle housing assembly to the differential carrier case.
Do not use sealer at this time. Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener Caution) .
3. Install the bolts and tighten to 40 Nm (30 lb ft) .
4. Measure the shaft end play using the following procedure:
1. Install the J 8001 or the equivalent on the axle tube end.
The plunger of the indicator must be at a right angle to the axle flange.

13. Use a Dial Indicator to measure the rotor to verify the LRO is within specification.
14. If using,
BENCH LATHE - DO NOT remove conical washers and lug nuts at this time.
ON-CAR LATHE - You must remove adapter and install conical washers and lug nuts to retain
rotor position.
Important For Hubless rotor design, while removing the adapter, you must hold the rotor tight to the
hub and install the top conical washer and lug nut first to ensure no debris falls between the
surface while removing the adapter. Then, install the remaining conical washers and lug nuts.
Otherwise, LRO will be comprised.
15. Perform Steps 1 through 7 on the opposite side of the vehicle (steps 1-12, if performing LRO).
16. Reinstall the rotors on both sides of the vehicle and perform the following steps:
1. Reinstall the calipers and pads.
2. Pump the brakes to pressurize the calipers.
3. Remove the lug nuts/conical washers.
4. Install and properly torque the wheels.
Important It is critical to follow the star pattern wheel torque procedure and use the proper tools
(torque stick or torque wrench) as referenced in SI.
17. Road test the vehicle to verify the repairs.
Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure
BRAKE LATHE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Calibration of the brake lathe should be performed and recorded monthly or whenever post-service
brake rotor LRO measurements are consistently reading above specification.
BENCH-TYPE LATHE
Use the following procedure to calibrate a Bench-type brake lathe:
1. After refinishing a rotor, loosen the arbor nut and while holding the inside bell clamp to keep it
from rotating, rotate the rotor 180 degrees.
2. Retighten the arbor nut and set the dial indicator on the rotor using the same instructions as
checking the run out on the vehicle.
3. Rotate the arbor and read the runout.
4. Divide the reading by two and this will give you the amount of runout the lathe is cutting into the
rotor.
Important If there is any runout, you will need to machine the inside bell clamp in place on the lathe
(this procedure is for a Bench type lathe ONLY, DO NOT machine inside the bell clamp on an
On-Car type lathe).
Machining the Inside Bell Clamp (Bench Type Lathe Only)
Any nicks or burrs on the shoulder of the arbor must be removed. An 80-grit stone can be used to
accomplish this. Spray WD-40(R) on the shoulder and with the lathe running, hold the stone flat
against the shoulder surface using slight pressure. When the burrs are gone, clean the surface.
Burrs must also be removed from the hub of the inside bell clamp. This can be accomplished with
the stone and WD-40(R). Keep the stone flat on the hub while removing the burrs. After removing
the burrs, clean the hub.
Place the bell clamp on the arbor of the lathe and use the small radius adapters first and then
spacers to allow you to tighten the arbor nut to secure the bell clamp to the lathe. Position the tool
bit in the left hand of the rotor truer so you can machine the face of the bell clamp. Machine the
face of the bell clamp taking just enough off of it to cut the full face of the clamp the full 360
degrees. Before you loosen the arbor nut, match mark the hub of the bell clamp to the arbor and
line up these marks before machining a rotor. A magic marker can be used to make the match
marks. Machine a rotor and recheck the calibration. Repeat this procedure on all Inside Bell
Clamps used.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Important For 2005 model year fullsize utilities and pickups, refer to Corporate Bulletin
05-07-30-012.
Some vehicles may exhibit a clunk noise that can be heard on a 2-3 upshift or a 3-2 downshift.
During a 2-3 upshift, the 2-4 band is released and the 3-4 clutch is applied. The timing of this shift
can cause a momentary torque reversal of the output shaft that results in a clunk noise. This same
torque reversal can also occur on a 3-2 downshift when the 3-4 clutch is released and the 2-4 band
applied. This condition may be worse on a 4-wheel drive vehicle due to the additional tolerances in
the transfer case.
This is a normal condition. No repairs should be attempted.

Condition
Customers may comment that the outside door handle is loose in the handle base. This condition is
most common on the driver's door , however it can occur on any of the four outside door handles
on the vehicle. This condition is more prevalent in warmer climates.
Cause
The pins that retain the handle to the base at its forward pivot point can be pulled out of the base
(The handle does not fall off of the vehicle). This occurs in hot temperatures when the handle is
pulled in an outboard and rearward motion when opening the door.
Correction
A new clip has been designed to prevent the legs of the fork area of the handle from collapsing and
letting the handle pull out. Use the following procedure to install the clip into the outside door
handle assembly.
1. Remove the outside door handle that is experiencing the concern.
- Use the published procedure in SI for Front Side Door Outside Handle Replacement for front door
handle service.
- Use the published procedure in SI for Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement for rear door
handle service.
2. With the back of the handle assembly exposed, reposition the handle to properly engage the
pivot pins into the handle base. With the handle pivot
pins properly engaged, install the service clip (1).
3. Reinstall the handle to the vehicle and verify its function.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Important Other forms of slow air leaks are possible. If the body of the tire, valve stem and wheel
flange show no signs of air seepage, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-003D for
additional information on possible wheel porosity issues.
3. Bead seat corrosion is identified by what appears like blistering of the wheel finish, causing a
rough or uneven surface that is difficult for the tire to
maintain a proper seal on. Below is a close-up photo of bead seat corrosion on an aluminum wheel
that was sufficient to cause slow air loss. Close-Up of Bead Seat Corrosion
4. If corrosion is found on the wheel bead seat, measure the affected area as shown below.
- For vehicles with 32,186 km (20,000 mi) or less, the total allowable combined linear area of
repairable corrosion is 100 mm (4 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
- For vehicles that have exceeded 32,186 km (20,000 mi), the total allowable combined linear area
of repairable corrosion is 200 mm (8 in) or less. If the total area(s) of corrosion exceed these
dimensions, the wheel should be replaced.
5. In order to correct the wheel leak, use a clean-up (fine cut) sanding disc or biscuit to remove the
corrosion and any flaking paint. You should
remove the corrosion back far enough until you reach material that is stable and firmly bonded to
the wheel. Try to taper the edge of any flaking paint as best you can in order to avoid sharp edges
that may increase the chance of a leak reoccurring. The photo below shows an acceptable repaired
surface.
Notice Corrosion that extends up the lip of the wheel, where after the clean-up process it would be
visible with the tire mounted, is only acceptable on the inboard flange. The inboard flange is not
visible with the wheel assembly in the mounted position. If any loose coatings or corrosion extend
to the visible surfaces on the FACE of the wheel, that wheel must be replaced.
Important Remove ONLY the material required to eliminate the corrosion from the bead seating
surface. DO NOT remove excessive amounts of material. ALWAYS keep the sealing surface as
smooth and level as possible.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.
* FCI connectors may have the FCI logo on their connectors. The logo is the letters FCI with an "A"
above it.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA.
Note
The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will
come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can
be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will
damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in
removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to
installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper
readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY.
Notice
Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or
drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to
clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light
coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel
pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub.
Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage
Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse.
You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not
retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any
component suspected of damage.
Tip
Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged
BEFORE tightening the nut.
Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side
of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation.
Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque
Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid
additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown
for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in
order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off
center resulting in vibration.

The pickup box was designed for the use of add-on equipment. However there are specific
mounting points that must be used along with weight restrictions, refer to the following: Chart 1 -
Weight Restrictions for Pickup Box Add-Ons. Structural members have been added to provide load
paths directly to the platform cross-sills and into the vehicle frame. Aftermarket accessories should
take advantage of these intended load paths as detailed below in Figures 1-4. Depending on the
accessory design, it may be necessary to add some form of a spacer under the accessories at the
structural hard points to take up any gap. Do not use the GM Cargo Management Option mounting
points for attaching anything other than the GM Cargo Management system as referenced in
Figure 5.

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward.
Note
Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it.
5. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing
down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA
out of the connector.
Note
Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-21 tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool
may break.
6. Insert the J 38125-21 tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the
connector. See the release tool cross reference in
the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
7. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.
* FCI connectors may have the FCI logo on their connectors. The logo is the letters FCI with an "A"
above it.

Important The M6 conductive rivet stud as shown, can accommodate a panel thickness range of
0.7-4.2 mm (0.03-0.17 in). If there are layers of sheet metal, they should be touching without any
air gaps to ensure a good ground.
5. Select a M6 conductive rivet stud. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin.
Note Use the GE-50317 rivet stud tool kit.
6. Place the M6 conductive rivet stud (1) in the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole. Assemble the rivet stud tool
(2) with the groove and flare side facing the rivet
stud, then the washer and the M6 nut (3).
7. Using a wrench on the rivet stud tool, and a socket on the M6 nut, secure the M6 conductive
rivet stud. 8. Ensure the rivet stud is securely fastened, WITHOUT ANY detectable movement. 9.
Completely wrap the threads of the rivet stud with painters tape or equivalent.
Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the
installation of the ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and
corrosion-free electrical ground.
10. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and
Repair in SI. 11. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective
material applied to the rivet stud threads. 12. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet
stud threads. 13. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet
stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 14. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Service and Repair
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer toSIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations) .
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose inflator modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 91 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any Inflatable restraint air bag module
* Inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
* Any Inflatable restraint sensor
* Inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioners
* Inflatable restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) module or sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note
The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Air Bag Systems)
orElectrical Center Identification Views (See: Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse
Block/Diagrams/Connector Views) .

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ω position. 4. Connect one lead of
the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the
circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Do not use cleaning solutions that contain hydrofluoric, oxalic and most other acids on chrome
wheels (or any wheels).
If the customer is unsure of the chemical make-up of a particular wheel cleaner, it should be
avoided.
For wheels showing signs of milky staining from acidic cleaners, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Warranty of Stained Chrome Wheels
Stained wheels are not warrantable. Most acid based cleaners will permanently stain chrome
wheels. Follow-up with dealers has confirmed that such cleaners were used on wheels that were
returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC). Any stained wheels received by the WPC will be
charged back to the dealership. To assist the customer, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Pitting or Spotted Appearance of Chrome Wheels Figure 2
A second type or staining or finish disturbance may result from road chemicals, such as calcium
chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads. The staining will look like small pitting (refer to
Figure 2). This staining will usually be on the leading edges of each wheel spoke, but may be
uniformly distributed. If a vehicle must be operated under such conditions, the chrome wheels
should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed as soon as conveniently
possible.
Important Road chemicals, such as calcium chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads, can
also stain chrome wheels. The staining will look like small pitting. This staining will usually be on
the leading edges of each wheel spoke. This is explained by the vehicle traveling in the forward
direction while being splashed by the road chemical. If a vehicle must be operated under such
conditions, the chrome wheels should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed
as soon as conveniently possible.
Warranty of Pitted or Spotted Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of road chemicals may be replaced one time.
Damage resulting from contact with these applied road chemicals is corrosive to the wheels finish
and may cause damage if the wheels are not kept clean.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean if they are operating the vehicle in an area that
applies calcium chloride or other dust controlling chemicals! "GM of Canada" dealers require prior
approval by the District Manager - Customer Care and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
"Stardust" Corrosion of Chrome Wheels Figure 3
A third type of finish disturbance results from prolonged exposure to brake dust and resultant
penetration of brake dust through the chrome. As brakes are applied hot particles of brake material
are thrown off and tend to be forced through the leading edge of the wheel spoke windows by
airflow. These

Instruments - Bulb Outage Detection Restoration
Body Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Instruments - Bulb Outage Detection
Restoration
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
Note
A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.
The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without
damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some
circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.

Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution
Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution
Caution: Contamination of the oxygen sensor can result from the use of an inappropriate RTV
sealant (not oxygen sensor safe) or excessive engine coolant or oil consumption. Remove the
HO2S and visually inspect the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream in order to
check for contamination. If contaminated, the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream
will have a white powdery coating. Silicon contamination causes a high but false HO2S signal
voltage (rich exhaust indication). The control module will then reduce the amount of fuel delivered
to the engine, causing a severe driveability problem. Eliminate the source of contamination before
replacing the oxygen sensor.

3. Place a protective cover over the carpet below the evaporator core. 4. Remove the cabin air
filter, if equipped, and cover the opening prior to applying the Cooling Coil Coating, as the product
may clog the filter. If the
cabin air filter appears to have little or no remaining life, suggest a replacement to your customer.
5. If the HVAC module has a blower motor cooling tube, be careful NOT TO SPRAY THE
COOLING COIL COATING INTO THE
BLOWER MOTOR COOLING TUBE.
6. Attach the Flexible Applicator Pressure Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) to a compressed air line
operating at 586 kPa (85 psi) to 793 kPa (115 psi). 7. Shake the bottle of Cooling Coil Coating well.
Screw the bottle onto the cap on the applicator tool's pick-up tube.
Note The pick-up tube is designed for 120 ml (4 oz) and 240 ml (8 oz) bottles and should coil
slightly in the bottom of a 120 ml (4 oz) bottle.
8. Use one of the following three methods to apply the Cooling Coil Coating.
Important If the Pressure Applicator Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) is not available, the Cooling Coil
Coating is also available in an aerosol can (P/N 12377951 (in Canada, 10953503)).
Application Through Blower Motor Control Module Opening
- Remove the blower motor control module (blower motor resistor). Refer to the applicable
procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor blower
motor control module (blower motor resistor) opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor blower motor control module (blower
motor control module).
Application Through Blower Motor Opening
- Remove the blower motor. Refer to the applicable blower motor removal procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor.
Application Through a Hole in the HVAC Module
- If neither of the two previous application methods are available, it may be necessary to drill a hole
in the HVAC module.
- Locate an area of the HVAC module between the blower motor and the evaporator core. Drill a 10
mm (3/8 in) hole in the HVAC module. Use caution to keep the drill clear of the evaporator core and
the blower motor fan.
- With the air distribution vents closed and the blower motor fan speed on HIGH, insert the
applicator tool into the hole and spray the Cooling Coil Coating into the airstream toward the
evaporator core.
- Use a GM approved RTV sealant to plug the hole in the HVAC module.
9. After the Cooling Coil Coating application is complete, start and run the vehicle for approximately
10 minutes, with the compressor disabled,
HVAC mode set to Recirculate/Max, heat set to full warm, blower motor fan speed on high, and
one window open approximately 12 mm (1/2 in). This cures the Cooling Coil Coating onto the
evaporator core surface.
10. While the engine is running, rinse the applicator tool with warm water to prolong the life of the
tool. Be sure to spray warm water through the
nozzle to rinse out any residual Cooling Coil Coating still in the capillary pick up tube, otherwise it
will dry and clog the applicator tool. Also remove the small green valve from the bottle cap and
rinse it thoroughly while rolling it between two fingers and then reinstall it. If this valve is clogged ,
the Cooling Coil Coating will not flow through the applicator tool.
11. Shut off the engine and enable the compressor again. 12. Verify proper HVAC system
operation. 13. Remove the protective cover from inside the vehicle. 14. Remove the drain pan from
underneath the vehicle. 15. Reinstall the cabin air filter if necessary.

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
Measuring Frequency
Measuring Frequency Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
Note
Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange

Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
J 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM) Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
Note
Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J
39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note
Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This
prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speeds up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted
pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the engine control module (ECM)
and the other can be a separate resistor in a connector assembly or in another control module. The
resistors are used as the load for the Powertrain High Speed GMLAN buss during normal vehicle
operation. The Powertrain High Speed GMLAN is a differential bus. The Powertrain High Speed
GMLAN serial data bus (+) and Powertrain High Speed GMLAN serial data (-) are driven to
opposite extremes from a rest or idle level of approximately 2.5 V. Driving the lines to their
extremes, adds one volt to the Powertrain High Speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) circuit and
subtracts one volt from the Powertrain High Speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) circuit. If serial data
is lost, control modules will set a no communication code against the non-communicating control
module. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the module that set it.
Diagnostic Aids
* Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a
history U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss-ofcommunication U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they're
transparent to the vehicle operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms.
Eventually, they will erase themselves automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles.
This condition would most likely be attributed to one of these scenarios:
- A control module on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication
circuit is awake.
- Power to one or more modules was interrupted during diagnosis
- A low battery condition was present, so some control modules stop communicating when battery
voltage drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and control modules on the communication circuit did
not all re-initialize at the same time.
Page 13972
DO NOT substitute with vinyl electrical tape or friction tape. Use only the tape specified above.
15. Tape the harness starting at the MSM connectors (1) extending back to the new break-out
location (2) in the plastic carrier.
16. Install a plastic tie strap around the harness and the plastic carrier at the break-out point (1).
17. Install the new harness edge clip (1) 10 mm (0.4 in) further from the connectors and the
existing harness clip. Ensure the clip is installed in the
orientation shown.
18. Install the harness with the new harness clip in the location shown (1).
Page 9105
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Date: February 17, 2011
Subject: 4WD System Shift Performance in Cold Ambient Temperatures (Use Synthetic Fluid in
Light Duty Front Axles with 8.5" Ring Gears)
Models:
1999-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series Models 1999-2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Series Models
Equipped with 4WD and 8.25" Front Axle Ring Gears (Transfer Case RPOs NP2, NQG)
Attention:
It is important to determine the RPO for the transfer case in GWM/IVH prior to applying this bulletin.
This bulletin applies ONLY to vehicles equipped with 8.25" front axle ring gears, used in
conjunction with a manual transfer case (RPOs NP2, NQG).
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-04-19-002 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment about the effort required to shift from 2HI to 4HI in cold ambient
temperatures at -6°C (20°F) or below.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the standard front axle being equipped with conventional mineral
oil axle fluid. In cold ambient temperatures, prior to complete warm up, the fluid viscosity is thick.
This may affect transfer case shift performance prior to full warm up.
Correction
Drain the front axle fluid and refill with GM SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Fluid, P/N 89021677 (in
Canada, 89021678). Refer to Front Axle Lubricant Replacement in SI. It is important to use
synthetic fluid in this 8.25" axle to improve the performance of the 4WD system in cold ambient
temperatures.

Important
When using any one of the brake labor operations listed in this bulletin (except for H9709 - Brake
Burnish), the following two rotor measurements (1. Original Rotor Thickness, 2. Refinished Rotor
Thickness are required and MUST be written/documented on the repair order, or for your
convenience, complete the form (GM Brake Service Repair Order Documentation for Required
Measurements) shown above and attach it to the repair order. If the Warranty Parts Center
generates a request, this Documentation/Form must be attached to the repair order that is sent
back.
Important
Documentation of brake lathe maintenance and calibration as recommended by the lathe
manufacturer must be available for review upon request.
Repair Order Documentation - Rotor Original And Refinished Thickness - REQUIRED
When resurfacing a brake rotor or drum, the ORIGINAL thickness (measured thickness before
refinish) and REFINISHED thickness (measured thickness after refinish) MUST be
written/documented on the repair order hard copy for each rotor serviced. If a rotor replacement is
necessary, only the original thickness measurement needs to be recorded.
Repair Order Documentation - Explanation of Part Replacement - REQUIRED
If replacement of a brake component is necessary, proper documentation on the repair order is
required. See the following examples:
^ Brake rotor replacement - Customer comment was brake pulsation. Rotor was refinished on a
prior brake service. After rotor measurement, it was determined that refinishing the rotor again
would take it under the Minimum Thickness specification.
^ Brake pad replacement - Customer comment was brake squeak noise. On inspection, found pads
contaminated by fluid leak at caliper.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

Accessory DC Power Control Module (APM)
Location
The APM is affixed to and located underneath the PIM. It is fastened to the PIM with external
mounting fasteners and 2 internal high voltage circuit connection fasteners. The APM shares a
coolant passage with the PIM and as such is gasketed to the PIM.
Operating Functions
The APM is the device which converts high voltage (300V) direct current (DC) to low voltage (12V)
DC for accessory electrical operation and to charge the 12 volt accessory battery. The APM also
converts HV DC to intermediate (42V) DC to supply the electric power steering system with
voltage. The APM is capable of supplying up to 175 Amps of 12 volt DC and up to 50 Amps of 42
volt DC. In Jump Assist mode the APM converts 12 volt DC to HV DC to charge the high voltage
hybrid batteries. The APM is capable of supplying up to 2.7 Amps at 290 volts DC on the high
voltage circuit when operating in Jump Assist. An external 12V DC battery charger is required
during the Jump Assist mode because the APM and vehicle controllers may draw as much as 80
Amps of current from the vehicles 12 volt DC system.
Communication and Hosted Diagnostics
The APM has internal diagnostic tests that run at both power-up and during operation. All DTCs
from the APM are reported to and hosted by the HPCM. The APM communicates directly only with
the HPCM and only on the high speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit.
Circuit Inputs
Inputs supported by the APM include the high voltage and 12 volt circuits. The APM also monitors
various internal components for current, voltage and temperature. The APM is also connected to
the high speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit. An individual 12 volt discrete circuit powers
ON the APM. The APM will not begin conversion of voltage however, until the appropriate GMLAN
enable signal is communicated to it by the HPCM.
Circuit Outputs
The only outputs supported by the APM are the 12 volt and 42 volt conversion during normal
vehicle operation and high voltage conversion during Jump Assist.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Page 6494
17. Unsecure and position the EVAP canister vent solenoid clip (1) to the chassis EVAP line. 18.
Install the EVAP canister vent solenoid pipe clip (2) from the chassis EVAP line.

Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL 2008-2009 HUMMER H2
Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

Specifications
Compression Check: Specifications
The minimum compression in any one cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. For example, if the highest pressure in any one cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest
allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). Multiply the highest cylinder
pressure by 70 percent, 1035 kPa x 70 percent = 725 kPa (150 psi x 70 percent = 105 psi), in order
to determine the lowest allowable pressure in any other cylinder.

Alignment: Description and Operation Toe Description
Toe Description
Toe Description
Toe is a measurement of how much the front and/or rear wheels are turned in or out from a
straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+). When the wheels are
turned out, toe is negative (-). The actual amount of toe is normally only a fraction of a degree. The
purpose of toe is to ensure that the wheels roll parallel.
Toe also offsets the small deflections of the wheel support system that occur when the vehicle is
rolling forward. In other words, with the vehicle standing still and the wheels set with toe-in, the
wheels tend to roll parallel on the road when the vehicle is moving.
Improper toe adjustment will cause premature tire wear and cause steering instability.

7. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Note
Ensure that the dress cover and connector body are both in the released position before
reassembling. Failure to do so may cause damage to the connector and component.
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125 .

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.
1999-2003 Model Year (Use Service Kit P/N 19207762)
1. Raise the vehicle. Suitably support the vehicle. 2. Disconnect the EVAP canister vent valve
electrical connector, if equipped. 3. Disengage the two vent valve pipe clips securing the pipe to the
underbody. Remove the clips from the underbody and discard. 4. Disconnect the vent valve pipe at

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
Page 5766
12. Using terminal release tool J 38125-216, lift the terminal plate past the terminals and out of the
connector body cavity.
13. Terminal plate will bind slightly on each corner.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .

or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2007-2009 model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 01-07-30-010B (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The purpose of this bulletin is to help technicians determine when a torque converter should be
replaced. Below is a list of general guidelines to follow.
The converter should NOT be replaced if the following apply:
^ DTC P0742 - TCC stuck on is set. This code is almost always the result of a controls condition
(i.e. stuck TCC solenoid/valve). Experience has shown that this code rarely indicates a mechanical
concern within the torque converter.
^ The fluid has an odor or is discolored but no evidence of metal contamination.
^ Fine metal particles (traces of metal flakes/gray color to fluid ) are found in the converter. This is
not harmful to the torque converter.
^ The vehicle has been exposed to high mileage.
^ A small amount of wear appears on the hub where the oil pump drive gear mates to the converter
(RWD only). A certain amount of such wear is normal for both the hub and oil pump gear. Neither
the converter nor the front pump assembly should be replaced.
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
^ The vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. First complete all electrical and hydraulic
diagnosis and check for proper engine operation. The converter clutch may be damaged. Also the
converter bushing and/or internal 0-ring may be damaged.
^ Evidence of damage to the oil pump assembly pump shaft turbine shaft drive sprocket support
and bearing or metal chips/debris in the converter.
^ Metal chips/debris are found in the converter or when flushing the cooler and the cooler lines.
^ External leaks in the hub weld area lug weld or closure weld.
^ Converter pilot is broken damaged or fits poorly into the crankshaft.
^ The converter hub is scored or damaged.
^ The transmission oil is contaminated with engine coolant engine oil or water.
^ If excessive end play is found after measuring the converter for proper end play (refer to Service
Manual).
^ If metal chips/debris are found in the fluid filter or on the magnet and no internal parts in the unit
are worn or damaged. This indicates that the material came from the converter.
^ The converter has an unbalanced condition that results in a vibration that cannot be corrected by
following Converter Vibration Procedures.
^ Blue converter or dark circular ring between lugs. This condition will also require a complete
cleaning of the cooler and a check for adequate flow

Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is
often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or
a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If
broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note
Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Notice to Customer
General Motors released this product recall in accordance with the requirements of the National
Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act because a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in
your vehicle. It was implemented to address the potential consequences of a printed circuit board
electrical short within the Heated Washer Fluid System (HWFS). The significance of this failure can
vary from minor distortion to considerable melting of the plastic around the HWFS fluid chamber. In
some circumstances, it is possible for the heated washer module to cause a fire.
This failure can occur at any time, even when the vehicle is unattended - parked and key not in the
"ON" position. Note that a resulting under hood fire could also involve other nearby vehicles or
structures. Performance of this recall procedure will allow your GM dealer to eliminate these risks
by permanently removing the HWFS from your vehicle. In addition to the risk of a thermal incident,
including a fire, it is possible that the HWFS will become inoperative at a future time. If this occurs,
it will not be repaired or replaced by GM. Note that GM does not endorse or otherwise approve the

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

* Perform theDiagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* ReviewStrategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions )provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the engine control module (ECM) supplies power to the in-tank fuel
pump, by energizing the fuel pump relay. The in-tank fuel pump remains ON as long as the engine
is cranking or running and the ECM receives crankshaft reference pulses. If there are no reference
pulses, the ECM turns the in-tank fuel pump OFF, 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON
or 2 seconds after the engine stops running. The electric fuel pump is incorporated into the modular
fuel pump and sender assembly and is located inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies fuel
through a fuel filter, also located in the modular fuel pump and sender assembly, through the fuel
feed pipes, to the fuel rail assembly. The fuel pump provides fuel at a pressure above the pressure
needed by the fuel injectors. The fuel pressure regulator, located in the modular fuel pump and
sender assembly, keeps the fuel available to the fuel injectors at a regulated pressure. When the
fuel pressure rises above the pressure regulator calibration, the pressure is relieved, with excess
fuel exhausted into the modular fuel pump and sender assembly reservoir.

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.
1999-2003 Model Year (Use Service Kit P/N 19207762)

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

Subject: Diagnostic Tips for Automatic Transmission DTC P0756, Second, Third, Fourth Gear Start
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2,

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year and add details regarding spacer plates.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-036G (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Some dealership technicians may have difficulty diagnosing DTC P0756, 2-3 Shift Valve
Performance on 4L60-E, 4L65-E or 4L70E automatic transmissions. As detailed in the Service
Manual, when the PCM detects a 4-3-3-4 shift pattern, DTC P0756 will set. Some customers may
also describe a condition of a second, third or fourth gear start that may have the same causes but
has not set this DTC yet. Below are some tips when diagnosing this DTC:
^ This is a performance code. This means that a mechanical malfunction exists.
^ This code is not set by electrical issues such as a damaged wiring harness or poor electrical
connections. Electrical problems would cause a DTC P0758, P0787 or P0788 to set.
^ The most likely cause is chips/debris plugging the filtered AFL oil at orifice # 29 on the top of the
spacer plate (48). This is a very small hole and is easily plugged by a small amount of debris. It is
important to remove the spacer plate and inspect orifice # 29 and the immediate area for the
presence of chips/debris. Also, the transmission case passage directly above this orifice and the
valve body passage directly below should be inspected and cleaned of any chips/debris. For 2003
and newer vehicles the spacer plate should be replaced. The service replacement spacer plate is a
bonded style with gaskets and solenoid filter screens bonded to the spacer plate. These screens
can help to prevent plugging of orifice # 29 caused by small debris or chips.
^ This code could be set if the 2-3 shift valve (368) were stuck or hung-up in its bore. Inspect the
2-3 shift valve (368) and the 2-3 shuttle valve (369) for free movement or damage and clean the
valves, the bore and the valve body passages.
^ This code could be set by a 2-3 shift solenoid (367b) if it were cracked, broken or leaking. Refer
to Shift Solenoid Leak Test in the appropriate Service Manual for the leak test procedure. Based on
parts return findings, a damaged or leaking shift solenoid is the least likely cause of this condition.
Simply replacing a shift solenoid will not correct this condition unless the solenoid has been found
to be cracked, broken or leaking.
It is important to also refer to the appropriate Service Manual or Service Information (SI) for further
possible causes of this condition.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to considerably expand the available information on
Radial Force Variation (RFV) and should be reviewed in whole. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Important
- Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven
a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires.
- Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel
assemblies for each vehicle.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation
measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable
tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force
variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads.
Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out
of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three
conditions must be addressed.
Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle,
two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any
imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer,
and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly
balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration.
Before balancing, perform the following procedures.
Tire and Wheel Diagnosis
1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are
centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while
shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick.
3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and
correct as necessary:
- Missing balance weights
- Bent rim flange
- Irregular tire wear
- Incomplete bead seating
- Tire irregularities (including pressure settings)
- Mud/ice build-up in wheel
- Stones in the tire tread
- Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to
diagnosing a smooth road shake condition.
4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a
sufficient distance on a known, smooth road
surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes
are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section
of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration
as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order
(one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high
enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high
to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment.
If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a
throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-06-01-008A
Date: July 27, 2009
Subject: Diagnosing Accessory Drive Belt / Serpentine Belt Noise and Availability and Use of
Kent-Moore EN-49228 Laser Alignment Tool - Drive Belt
Models:
2010 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2,
H3 Vehicles 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add a model year and update the Tool Information.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-01-008 (Section 06 - Engine).
Background
Several aftermarket companies offer laser alignment tools for accessory drive systems that can be
very helpful in eliminating drive belt noise as a result of misaligned pulleys. Typically pricing ranges
from $160 - $200.
EN-49228 Laser Alignment Tool - Drive Belt
The GM Tool program has now made available a competitive, simple to use and time-saving laser
tool to assist in achieving precise alignment of the drive belt pulleys. This optional tool removes the
guesswork from proper pulley alignment and may serve to reduce comebacks from:
- Drive Belt Noise
- Accelerated Drive Belt Wear
- Drive Belt Slippage
Instructions
The instructions below are specific only to the truck Gen IV V-8 family of engines. These
instructions are only for illustrative purposes to show how the tool may be used. Universal
instructions are included in the box with the Laser Alignment Tool - Drive Belt.
Caution
- Do not look directly into the beam projected from the laser.
- Use caution when shining the laser on highly polished or reflective surfaces. Laser safety glasses
help reduce laser beam glare in many circumstances.
- Always use laser safety glasses when using the laser. Laser safety glasses are not designed to
protect eyes from direct laser exposure.
1. Observe and mark the serpentine belt orientation.
Page 19478
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note
If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to
prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note
To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable
of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and
other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below
in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable.

1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard
value.

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Attention:
Complete wheel changing instructions for each vehicle line can be found under Tire and Wheel

reinforce simple but vital procedures to reduce the possibility of achieving low torque during wheel
installation. Always refer to SI for wheel lug nut torque specifications and complete jacking
instructions for safe wheel changing.

Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Condition
Note
For the model year vehicles mentioned above, the "Directions and Connections" service package
will allow the driver to request directions from OnStar(R).
Vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) and a navigation radio may experience intermittent failure to
download directions to the navigation radio. Customers will call OnStar(R) for directions, OnStar(R)
will download the destination to the vehicle and the customer will hear "Your destination is being
sent to your vehicle. When safe and appropriate, press the Go button and follow instructions on
your navigation screen to begin your route." However, the customer may not see the Go button, or
the Go button on the navigation screen may be unresponsive, and therefore unable to be pressed
in order to start the directions.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- The navigation disc is not inserted in the radio. Some radios may display a message that states
that the map disc must be inserted for destination download.
- An OnStar(R) (VCIM) module software anomaly. The OnStar(R) destination download does not
complete communicating to the navigation radio within a certain time frame.
- A navigation radio software anomaly. This applies to 2008-2009 CTS and CTS-V vehicles with
RPO UAV.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the navigation radio for any of these conditions.
- If the navigation disc is not installed, insert the navigation disc and test the operation of the
system.
- For 2008-2009 CTS and CTS-V vehicles with RPO UAV, update the navigation radio software.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-08-44-019A.
- For all other vehicles, an updated OnStar(R) VCIM is now available. Replace the OnStar(R)
VCIM. Refer to OnStar(R) Module VCIM Replacement in SI.

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the

Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

Special Tools
J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Dye Transfer: Dye transfer will happen any time a natural fiber like cotton, silk, wool, or suede
comes into contact with leather. The lighter the leather color, the more quickly the dye transfer will
appear. Leather should be cleaned on a regular basis so that the dirt and grime do not adversely
affect the top coat of the leather. After cleaning the leather, it is important to treat the surface with
the restorer.
Extractor Machine and Concentrate
For difficult to clean materials or when cleaning a large area, the best results will be achieved when
using an extractor machine and concentrate. General Motors offers the Ruby Extractor (P/N
627-CC-3000AU) through GM Tools and Equipment 1-800-GM-TOOLS, and has recently released
a concentrate for use with the extractor machine.
Whichever extractor machine is used, it should meet the minimum specifications of the Ruby
Extractor:
Ruby Extractor Specifications:
- Pump PSI: 55
- Water Lift: 85"
- Hose Length: 10 ft
Important The Ruby Extractor also comes with a 6 year Outer Body and 3 year Parts warranty.
Extractor: The Ruby Extractor machine was designed for automotive use and works effectively in
the vehicle's interior. The narrow design of the vacuum head allows detail work in tight areas. The
water pressure pump is reduced so the fabric surface is not wet more than is necessary. The dry
time is greatly reduced due to less water on the fabric surface, the vacuum head making better
contact with the surface and the significant water lift capability of the machine.
Concentrate: The concentrated extraction cleaner is engineered with lower pH levels to help
remove alkaline buildup on fabrics. The concentrate should be mixed according to the instructions
listed on the container. The available concentrate helps to break the stain down and then the stain
is easily removed with less water. The concentrate used in the Ruby Extractor is slightly acidic to
remove soap and alkalinity from the fabric surfaces left behind by using improper, soapy solutions.
Dirt, grease and grime are more easily removed when the proper solution is used during the
extraction process.

Subject: Global Information for GM dexos1(TM) and GM dexos2(TM) Engine Oil Specifications for
Spark Ignited and Diesel Engines, Available Licensed Brands, and Service Fill for Adding or
Complete Oil Change
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Excluding All Vehicles Equipped with
Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines
GM dexos 1(TM) Information Center Website
Refer to the following General Motors website for dexos 1(TM) information about the different
licensed brands that are currently available: http://www.gmdexos.com
GM dexos 1(TM) Engine Oil Trademark and Icons
The dexos(TM) specification and trademarks are exclusive to General Motors, LLC.
Only those oils displaying the dexos‹›(TM) trademark and icon on the front label meet the
demanding performance requirements and stringent quality standards set forth in the dexos‹›(TM)
specification.
Look on the front label for any of the logos shown above to identify an authorized, licensed dexos
1(TM) engine oil.
GM dexos 1(TM) Engine Oil Specification
Important General Motors dexos 1(TM) engine oil specification replaces the previous General
Motors specifications GM6094M, GM4718M and GM-LL-A-025 for most GM gasoline engines. The
oil specified for use in GM passenger cars and trucks, PRIOR to the 2011 model year remains
acceptable for those previous vehicles. However, dexos 1(TM) is backward compatible and can be
used in those older vehicles.
In North America, starting with the 2011 model year, GM introduced dexos 1(TM) certified engine
oil as a factory fill and service fill for gasoline engines. The reasons for the new engine oil
specification are as follows:
- To meet environmental goals such as increasing fuel efficiency and reducing engine emissions.
- To promote long engine life.
- To minimize the number of engine oil changes in order to help meet the goal of lessening the
industry's overall dependence on crude oil.
dexos 1(TM) is a GM-developed engine oil specification that has been designed to provide the
following benefits:
- Further improve fuel economy, to meet future corporate average fuel economy (CAFE)
requirements and fuel economy retention by allowing the oil to maintain its fuel economy benefits
throughout the life of the oil.
- More robust formulations for added engine protection and aeration performance.

Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003
Date: May 12, 2008
Subject: Warranty Reduction - Transfer of Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors to
Replacement Wheels and Allowable TPM Sensor Replacements
Models: 2000-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Dear General Motors Customer:
We have learned that your 2007, 2008, or 2009 model year Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra,
currently or previously registered in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin may
have a condition where an electronic component located beneath the driver's seat may corrode
due to a significant quantity of snow and/or water containing road salt or other contaminants
entering the vehicle and saturating the acoustical padding beneath the carpet. Your vehicle's
electronic sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is located underneath this acoustical padding. If
sufficient moisture collects and is retained in the padding, it may cause excessive corrosion under
the module; compromising the module seal and allowing water intrusion and system malfunction.
This may result in illumination of the Airbag Readiness light, along with a "Service Airbag" message
on the Driver Information Center, and in rare cases, deployment of the seat belt pretensioner
and/or airbags.
Your satisfaction with your 2007, 2008, or 2009 model year Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra is
very important to us, so we are announcing a program to prevent this condition.
What We Will Do: Your GM dealer will remove the acoustical padding above the SDM. This service
will be performed for you at no charge.
What You Should Do: To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your
dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair.

Condition
Some customers may comment about the effort required to shift from 2HI to 4HI in cold ambient
temperatures at -6°C (20°F) or below.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the standard front axle being equipped with conventional mineral
oil axle fluid. In cold ambient temperatures, prior to complete warm up, the fluid viscosity is thick.
This may affect transfer case shift performance prior to full warm up.
Correction
Drain the front axle fluid and refill with GM SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Fluid, P/N 89021677 (in
Canada, 89021678). Refer to Front Axle Lubricant Replacement in SI. It is important to use

A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.

Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
* Verify that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability
conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications ( See: Ignition System/Specifications) for the
correct spark plug.
* Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling, replace with a colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage , replace with a hotter plug
* Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage.
- Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1).
- Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should not
move.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, or soot. This is caused by the electrical
charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the terminal post (1) and ground. Inspect for the
following conditions:
- Inspect the spark plug boot for damage.
- Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or
water. A spark plug boot that is saturated will cause arcing to ground.

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

45,000 km (28,000 mi)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year and new Correction
information for the 2009 model year - left rocker arm cover replacement. Information has also been
added after step 9. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-01-008A (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment about engine oil consumption of vehicles with higher mileage
(approximately 48,000 to 64,000 km (30,000 to 40,000 mi). Verify that the induction system is
assembled correctly and that there is no evidence that the engine has been ingesting dirty air due
to a mis-assembled induction system. Also verify that the PCV system is functioning properly. If
diagnostic procedures indicate that oil consumption is piston /piston ring related, verify that oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart. If these conditions are met and oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart, perform the service indicated in this
bulletin.
Cause
This condition may be caused by oil spray that is discharged from the AFM pressure relief valve
within the crankcase. Under most driving conditions and drive cycles, the discharged oil does not
cause a problem. Under certain drive cycles (extended high engine speed operation), in
combination with parts at the high end of their tolerance specification, the oil spray quantity may be
more than usual, resulting in excessive deposit formation in the piston ring grooves, causing
increased oil consumption.
Correction
2009 Vehicles Only
Important This left rocker arm cover is NOT to be used on 2007-2008 vehicles because of the
calibration of the PCV orifice being different in 2007-2008.
A new left rocker arm cover has been released for 2009 engines. Technicians should replace the
left rocker arm cover with GM P/N 12642655. This rocker arm cover has relocated PCV drain holes
that prevents PCV pullover into the intake manifold. Refer to SI for Valve Rocker Arm Cover
Replacement - Left Side.
2008-2007 Vehicles Only
To correct this condition, perform the piston cleaning procedure as described in this document, and
install a shield over the AFM pressure relief valve per the procedure outlined in this document.
Monitor oil consumption after this repair to ensure oil consumption has improved to acceptable
levels. If this repair does not correct the condition, it may be necessary to replace the piston
assemblies (piston and rings) with new parts.
Important It is critical in this cleaning process that the engine/fuel injector cleaner remain in the
cylinders for a minimum of 2.5 hours to fully clean the components. The cleaner solution must be
removed before a maximum of three hours.
1. Verify the oil consumption concern following Corporate Bulletin Number 01-06-01-011F. If oil
consumption is found, continue on with this
bulletin.
2. Remove the spark plugs and ensure that none of the pistons are at top dead center (TDC). 3.
Clean the pistons by putting 118-147 ml (4-5 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, GM
P/N 88861802 (in Canada, use 88861804), in
each cylinder. Allow the material to soak for at least 2.5-3.0 hours, but no more than three hours
and then remove the cleaner. A suggested method

ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

Supercede: This bulletin is being updated to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 07-06-01-016A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important Engine damage that is the result of an incorrect or improperly installed engine oil filter is
not a warrantable claim. The best way to avoid oil filter quality concerns is to purchase ACDelco(R)
oil filters directly from GMSPO.
Oil filter misapplication may cause abnormal engine noise or internal damage. Always utilize the
most recent parts information to ensure the correct part number filter is installed when replacing oil
filters. Do not rely on physical dimensions alone. Counterfeit copies of name brand parts have been
discovered in some aftermarket parts systems. Always ensure the parts you install are from a
trusted source. Improper oil filter installation may result in catastrophic engine damage.
Refer to the appropriate Service Information (SI) installation instructions when replacing any oil
filter and pay particular attention to procedures for proper cartridge filter element alignment. If the
diagnostics in SI (Engine Mechanical) lead to the oil filter as the cause of the internal engine noise
or damage, dealers should submit a field product report. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
02-00-89-002I (Information for Dealers on How to Submit a Field Product Report).

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to
ground, and short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and
Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.

Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).
Caution
Exceeding the recommended screw torque of 6 Nm (53 lb in) could result in the thread insert
pulling out of the handle base, as shown in the graphic above.
Replace the affected chrome outside door handle. Refer to Front Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement, Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement, or Rear Side Door Outside Handle

Fuel injector restrictions, deposits can be cleaned on the vehicle using the following procedure.
Under NO circumstances should this procedure be modified, changed or shortened. As a long term
solution, and to prevent reoccurrence, customers should be encouraged to use Top Tier Detergent
Gasoline. For further information on Top Tier detergent gasoline and fuel retailers, please refer to
the following Corporate Bulletin Numbers:
- 04-06-04-047G (U.S. Only)
- 05-06-04-022D (Canada ONLY)
Notice
GM UPPER ENGINE AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER is the only injector cleaning agent
approved for use with General Motors fuel system components. Other injector cleaners may cause
damage to plastics, plated metals or bearings. General Motors has completed extensive laboratory
testing of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, and can assure its compatibility with
General Motors fuel system components, as long as the cleaning procedure is followed correctly.
Injector Cleaning Procedure
The following tools, or their equivalent, are required:
- CH-47976 Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT)
- J 35800-A Fuel Injector Cleaner
- J 37287 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter
- J 42964 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter
- J 42873 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter
- * One bottle of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, P/N 88861802 (in Canada, P/N
88861804)
- * One bottle of GM Fuel System Treatment Plus, P/N 88861011 (in Canada, P/N 88861012)
Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT- CH-47976)
Some dealers may not have an Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT- CH-47976). Dealers can contact
to order an AFIT- CH-47976. Dealers still can test the fuel injectors without an AFIT. Refer to Fuel
Injector Diagnosis (w/ J 39021 or Tech 2(R)) in SI.
Important
As mentioned in the AFIT User Guide, vehicles that are not listed in the AFIT menu can still be
tested with the AFIT. Depending on the model, it may be possible to enter the previous model year
and proceed with testing using the DLC connection. If this is not possible on the model that you are
working on, it will be necessary to use the direct connection method outlined in the AFIT User
Guide (See Pages 17-31).
General Motors recommends that the Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT) be used in testing fuel
injectors. If the SI diagnostics do not isolate a cause for this concern, use the Active Fuel Injector
Tester (AFIT - CH-47976) to perform an "Injector Test" as outlined in the AFIT User Guide.
The AFIT "Injector Test" measures the flow characteristics of all fuel injectors, which is more
precise when compared with the standard Tech 2(R) fuel injector balance test. As a result, the
AFIT is more likely to isolate the cause of a P1174 DTC (for example: if it is being caused by a fuel
injector concern).
The CH-47976 (Active Fuel Injector Tester - AFIT) can also be used to measure fuel pressure and

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The engine control module (ECM) is the control center of this
system. The ECM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The ECM constantly monitors
the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and emissions. The ECM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the
system. The ECM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the ECM.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display
as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON:
The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required.
The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
* The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to
ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
* The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
* The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an
emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test
Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
* The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic
converter.
* When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the
ignition is ON.
* When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
is cycled OFF and then ON.

Rear Axle Lubricant Level Inspection (8.6, 9.5 LD Axle)
Note
All axle assemblies are filled by volume of fluid during production. They are not filled to reach a
certain level. When checking the fluid level on any axle, variations in the readings can be caused
by factory fill differences between the minimum and the maximum fluid volume. Also, if a vehicle
has just been driven before checking the fluid level, it may appear lower than normal because the
fluid has traveled out along the axle tubes and has not drained back to the sump area. Therefore, a
reading taken five minutes after the vehicle has been driven will appear to have a lower fluid level
than a vehicle that has been stationary for an hour or two. Remember that the rear axle assembly
must be supported to get a true reading.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See:
Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and Repair) . 2. Ensure the vehicle is level. 3. Inspect the rear

A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
Circuit Protection - Fuses
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Bulletin Number 07-06-03-009A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Voltmeter Fluctuation Condition
Some customers may comment that the voltmeter is fluctuating between 12 and 14 volts on their
full size pickup or utility vehicle. Starting with the 2005 model year, light duty full size pickups and
utilities are equipped with a Regulated Voltage Control (RVC) system. This system reduces the
targeted output of the generator to 12.6-13.1 volts when in "Fuel Economy Mode" to improve fuel
economy. The generator may exit "Fuel Economy Mode" if additional voltage is required. This will
cause the voltmeter to fluctuate between 12 and 14 volts as opposed to non-regulated systems that
usually maintain a more consistent reading of 14 volts. This fluctuation with the RVC system is
normal system operation and NO repairs should be attempted.
Camper/Trailer Battery Charging Concerns
Some customers may comment that when towing or hauling a camper/trailer, the auxiliary battery
for the camper/trailer will not stay charged. In most cases, this concern is blamed on the new RVC
system. While the RVC system does reduce the generator's targeted output voltage to 12.6-13.1
volts when in "Fuel Economy Mode", this feature is bypassed if the tow/haul feature is enabled.
With the tow/haul feature enabled, the RVC system will stay in "Charge Mode" and the targeted
generator output voltage will be 13.9-15.5 volts, depending on the battery state of charge and the
estimated battery temperature. To keep the generator in the "Charge Mode", use either of the
following two methods.
- The first method is to use the tow/haul mode when towing or hauling a camper or trailer.
- The second method is to turn on the headlights, which will increase the generator's targeted
output voltage to 13.9-14.5 volts.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.
Page 13018
2. While depressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock.
3. Disconnect the connector from the component.

Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution
Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution
Caution: Contamination of the oxygen sensor can result from the use of an inappropriate RTV
sealant (not oxygen sensor safe) or excessive engine coolant or oil consumption. Remove the
HO2S and visually inspect the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream in order to
check for contamination. If contaminated, the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream
will have a white powdery coating. Silicon contamination causes a high but false HO2S signal
voltage (rich exhaust indication). The control module will then reduce the amount of fuel delivered
to the engine, causing a severe driveability problem. Eliminate the source of contamination before
replacing the oxygen sensor.

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

1. Pressurized oil enters the advance cavities (1) of the actuator and moves the park pin (3) from
the locked position. 2. As pressure increases within the advance cavities (1), the rotor and
camshaft rotate clockwise advancing valve timing. 3. As the duty cycle decreases, the spool is
repositioned and oil is sent to the retard cavities (2), rotating the rotor and camshaft counter
clockwise,
retarding valve timing.
* With a 0 percent duty cycle signal to the magnet, the spool is positioned in the fully extended
position and there is full flow to the retard cavities of the actuator. As duty cycle increases to near
50 percent, flow to the retard cavities is decreased.
* With a 50 percent duty cycle, the spool is positioned neutral, with no flow to either the advance
and retard cavities.
* With a 51-100 percent duty cycle, the spool is positioned to provide oil flow to advance cavities.
As the duty cycle increases, the flow to advance cavities increases.
* With a 100 percent duty cycle, there is full flow to the advance cavities of the actuator.
* The above duty cycle percentage values are only a guideline, as the actual duty cycle values may
vary based on engine oil temperature, solenoid magnet coil temperature, magnet coil resistance,
and other specifics.

Providing responsible services at the proper intervals will greatly aid your dealership with repeat
business, and additional services when required. Most customers appreciate and gain trust in the
dealership that informs and offers them just what they need for continued trouble-free operation.
Examine your service department's practices and verify that all Service Consultants and
Technicians focus on customer satisfaction, vehicle inspections, and other products at time of
service. Use this opportunity to upgrade the services you provide to your customers. Here are a
few suggestions:
- Take the time required to align your dealership service practices with the new GM Simplified
Maintenance Schedule. Use the new vehicle Owner's Manual Maintenance I and II schedules to
create a "mirror image" in your advertising and dealer service pricing that is easily understandable
to your customer. Taking advantage of this new service strategy may greatly increase your
dealership service sales and customer retention while decreasing the frequency of visits and
inconvenience to your customer.
- Review your program to ensure that all vehicles coming in are evaluated for safety and wear
items. Examine all vehicles for tire condition, signs of misalignment, brake wear, exterior lamp
functionality, exhaust condition, A/C cooling performance, SRS or Air Bag MIL, along with Service
Engine Soon or Check Engine indicators. If the Service Engine Soon or Check Engine MIL is
illuminated, it is vital that you inform the customer of the concerns with ignoring the indicator and
what the required repair would cost. In addition to the possibility of increased emissions and
driveability concerns, many customers are unaware that lower gas mileage may also result, with
additional cost to the customer.
- Be complete in your service recommendations. Some sales opportunities are not being fully
pursued nationally. Focus on overlooked but required maintenance that has real benefits to the
customer. Many vehicles are equipped with cabin air filters. If these filters are used beyond
replacement time, they may impede airflow decreasing A/C and heating performance. Make sure
these filters are part of your recommended service. Note that some of our vehicles may not have
been factory equipped but will accept the filters as an accessory.
- Express the value in maintaining the finish quality of the customer's vehicle at the Maintenance I
and II visits. More fully utilize the vehicle prep personnel you already have in place. In today's
world, many people simply ignore the finish of their vehicle, at best infrequently using an automatic
car wash for exterior cleaning. Offer vehicle detailing services in stages from just a wash and wax
to a complete interior cleaning. When paired with the Simplified Maintenance visit, this will increase
customer satisfaction. On return, the customer gets a visibly improved vehicle that will be a source
of pride of ownership along with a vehicle that is now fully maintained. Also, reinforce the improved
resale value of a completely maintained vehicle.
- For customers who clean and maintain the appearance of their vehicles themselves encourage
the use of GM Vehicle Care products. Many customers may have never used GM Car Wash/Wax
Concentrate, GM Cleaner Wax or a longtime product, GM Glass Cleaner, which is a favorite of
many customers who try it just once. If your dealership give samples of these products with new
car purchases, customers may already be sold on the product but not willing to make a special trip
to the dealership. Capitalize on sales at this time. Stock shelves right at the Service counter with
these products and consider instituting compensation programs for Service Consultants who
suggest these products. Many consumers faced with an intimidating wall full of car care products
sold at local auto parts stores may find it comforting to purchase a fully tested product sold by GM
that they know will not harm the finish of their vehicle. We suggest these competitively priced basic
vehicle care products to emphasize:
In USA:
- #12378401 GM Vehicle Care Wash/Wax Concentrate 16 fl. oz. (0.473L)
- #89021822 GM Vehicle Care Glass Cleaner Aerosol 18 oz. (510 g)
- #12377966 GM Vehicle Care Cleaner Wax 16 fl. oz. (0.473L)
- #1052929 GM Vehicle Care Chrome and Wire Wheel Cleaner 16 fl. oz. (0.473L)
- #88861431 GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator 24 fl. oz. (0.710L)
In Canada:
- #10953203 GM Vehicle Care Wash & Wax Concentrate 473 mL
- #992727 GM Glass Cleaner Aerosol 500 g
- #10952905 GM Vehicle Care Liquid Cleaner/Wax 473 mL
- #10953013 GM Vehicle Care Chrome Cleaner and Polish 454 mL
- #10953202 GM Vehicle Care Wheel Brite 473 mL
- #88901678 GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator 473 mL
- Display signboards with the installed price for popular GM Accessories such as running boards
and Tonneau Covers. Customers may not think to ask about these desirable items at the time of a
service visit.
- Finally, take advantage of the GM Goodwrench initiatives (Tire Program, Goodwrench Credit
Card, etc. / Dealer Marketing Association (DMA) Promotions in Canada) to provide the customer
with more reasons to identify your dealership as the best place to go for parts and service.
Remember to utilize ALL of the service aspects you possess in your dealership to satisfy and
provide value to your customer. Many businesses exist profitably as an oil change location, a
vehicle repair facility, or a detailing shop alone. You already have the capabilities of all three and
provide these services with the inherent trust of your customer, under the GM Mark of Excellence.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the models to include full size trucks. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 08-09-41-009 (Section 09 - Restraints).
Technicians may find a DTC B0081 5A in some of the vehicles listed above. The sensing and
diagnostic module (SDM) is setting this DTC due to an issue with the messages in the software for
the SDM.
Technicians should check for DTCs while the ignition is in RUN. If DTC B0081 5A is set in history,
there is no need for any parts replacement. The only way this code is set in history is if the key is
left in ACC for more than 10 seconds. The passenger side tell tale airbag light in the cluster will
stay on solid until the key is in RUN or OFF. For example, the customer will have the car parked,
key in ACC and listening to the radio the light comes on and the DTC B0081 5A sets.
If you are checking the vehicle after this event, you will find DTC B0081 5A in history if the IGN is in
RUN.
If you turn the key to the ACC position for more than 10 seconds with the Tech 2(R) tool
connected, the code will be current as long as you are in the ACC position.
If the key is moved to RUN or OFF, the telltale light will go off and the code will go immediately to
history (reference to PIC4917 DTC B0081 5A In History).
This condition will only occur with the following passenger presence system (PPS) module part
numbers:
^ 25977948 (CK) (All)
^ 94216444 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92221553 (G8) (Leather)
^ 92219364 (G8) (Cloth)
Remember that any time the vehicle is brought into service that the customer could have operated
the vehicle in ACC for more than 10 seconds. This will cause the passenger side airbag light to
come on solid in the cluster. Please tell the customer that this is a normal operating characteristic.
If DTC B0081 5A is current while the ignition is in RUN, please check all connections and wiring.
Check the seat connector located on the right side under the sill plate in the door opening. Pull the
seat out of the vehicle and check for PPS wiring and make sure all connectors are connected.
ThePPS Module has two connections one for the seat harness and one for the sensor mat (the
sensor mat is located between the seat foam cushion and seat pan).
If other DTCs are current, follow the diagnostics in SI. (There are two SDM DTC s related to PPS:
B0081 71 - Passenger Presence System 1 Invalid Serial Data Received and U0170 - Lost
Communication With Restraints System Sensor A (PPS)).

5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Removal Procedure
1. If replacing the right side spark plug(s), remove the right front wheelhouse liner. Refer to Front
Wheelhouse Liner Replacement - Right Side
(Chevrolet) (See: Body and Frame/Fender/Front Fender/Front Fender Liner/Service and
Repair)Front Wheelhouse Liner Replacement - Right Side (GMC) (See: Body and
Frame/Fender/Front Fender/Front Fender Liner/Service and Repair) , and remove the right side
plug(s) through the wheel opening.
Danger: Always perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage
component or connection. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be
followed.
The High Voltage Disabling procedure will perform the following tasks:
* Identify how to disable high voltage.
* Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.
* Identify condition under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment
(PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.
Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.
2. If replacing the right side spark plug(s), perform the service disconnect. Refer to High Voltage
Disabling (See: Hybrid Drive Systems/Battery
System, Hybrid Drive/Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/High
Voltage Disabling) .
3. Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
1. Twist the spark plug wire boot a 1/2 turn. 2. Pull only on the boot in order to remove the wire
from the spark plug.

You MUST use a silver-bearing solder to make the solder joint. DO NOT attempt this repair with
conventional tin/lead alloy solders. Most suppliers have this type of solder available and it is
available nationally at Radio Shack(R)*. It is sold in several diameters and either are acceptable for
this repair.
5. For this step, it is permitted that two technicians be used if required. Heat the new connector on
the surface of the buss bar that is to be soldered.
Long nose pliers are suggested to hold the electrical connector and the defroster tab in place. Keep
the solder ready and begin flowing out the solder as soon as the melting temperature has been
reached. Tip If a single technician is attempting this repair, it is beneficial to wrap one turn of the
solder around the new contacts base. In this manner, as the melting point of the solder is reached,
a layer is deposited on the bottom side of the contact.
Important Try to align the new contact so that it is positioned with the same orientation as the
original contact.
6. The above illustrates an ideal finished solder joint. Additional stray solder will not harm the
performance of the bond; however, while it is unlikely
that customers may refer to the appearance of the rear window defroster and its components as a
positive styling feature of the vehicle interior, it is easy to elicit the opposite reaction due to a poor
cosmetic application.

Compass: Description and Operation
Compass Calibration and Magnetic Variance
Compass Calibration
The compass direction will show CAL if it needs to be calibrated. Before calibrating the compass,
drive the vehicle to an area that is magnetically clean (free of large metallic objects).
1. Turn ON the ignition. 2. Before calibrating the compass, make sure the compass is set to the
variance zone in which the vehicle is travelling. See Compass Magnetic
Variation Adjustment below.
3. Press the vehicle information button until the PRESS TO CALIBRATE COMPASS screen is
displayed. 4. Press the set/reset button to start the compass calibration. 5. The DIC will display
CALIBRATING: DRIVE IN CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in circles at less than 8 km/h (5 mph) to
complete the calibration.
The DIC will display CALIBRATION COMPLETE when the calibration is complete.
Compass Magnetic Variation Adjustment
Compass variance is the difference between the earth's magnetic north and true geographic north.
If not adjusted to account for compass variance, the compass in the vehicle could give false
readings. Under certain circumstances, such as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will be
necessary to compensate for compass variance and reset the zone through the DIC.
World Magnetic Variation Map
1. Locate your geographic location. Refer to the variation zone map. 2. Turn ON the ignition with
the engine OFF. 3. Press the vehicle information button until PRESS TO CHANGE COMPASS
ZONE displays on the DIC. 4. Press the set/reset button to scroll through and select the
appropriate variance zone. 5. Navigate to one of the trip/fuel menu screens to view the direction the
vehicle is moving. This will be shown in the top right corner of the DIC
display.
If the compass needs to be calibrated, use the compass calibration procedure above.
Procedures
Throttle Body: Procedures
Throttle Learn
Throttle Learn
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the airflow through the throttle body to ensure the correct
idle. The learned airflow values are stored within the ECM. These values are learned to adjust for
production variation and will continuously learn during the life of the vehicle to compensate for
reduced airflow due to coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for example due to
cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
A vehicle that had a heavily coked throttle body that has been cleaned or replaced may take
several drive cycles to learn out the coking. To accelerate the process, the scan tool has the ability
to reset all learned values back to zero. A new ECM will also have values set to zero.
The idle may be unstable or a DTC may set if the learned values do not match the actual airflow.

Adjustments
Rear Door Striker: Adjustments
Door Lock Striker Adjustment
To determine if striker adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Make certain the door is properly aligned within the door opening before proceeding with the
striker adjustment. 2. Close the door onto the striker and note if the door drags on the striker
causing the door to move upward or downward upon contact with the
striker. Also note the closing effort to fully engage the latch.
3. Using a soft marker, mark around the striker for reference of the original position. Loosen the
striker. 4. Move the striker to eliminate drag on the striker and door latch and to achieve the proper
door position within the door opening. Start with the
up/down position, then position the striker to achieve proper alignment to the door opening. Set the
in/out adjustment for the proper door seal engagement making sure the door closing efforts are
correct. Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage
Warnings/Fastener Caution) .

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-024
Date: June 27, 2008
Subject: Voice Recognition System Will Not Recognize "Bluetooth" Command
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave 2009 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Cobalt, Corvette,

Pontiac G5, Solstice, Torrent 2009 Saturn OUTLOOK, SKY, VUE with UE1 (OnStar) but Without
UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2012 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 10-05-23-00A (Section 05 - Brakes).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a pulsation or vibration mostly concentrated in the steering
wheel during downhill descent as specifically described. This condition will most often begin as an
increasing rumbling noise coming from the underbody or the front of the vehicle. This condition is
exhibited mostly in mountainous regions.
Note
Use care to ensure the following diagnosis and repair are only attempted if the conditions and
concern match those listed, and if the concern can be duplicated under the same conditions.
This condition occurs ONLY under the following conditions:
- When the vehicle is driven as follows:
- On a downhill descent on a fairly steep grade (approximately 5% or greater).
- On taller hills (roughly 1.5‹›km [1‹›mi] road length or greater), without sharp turns.
- At speeds above 64‹›km/h (40‹›mph).
- Using the brakes just enough to maintain the speed limit when moving downhill.
- Typically, a rumbling noise will be heard first, building in intensity, followed by increasing
pulsation, or vibration, felt in the steering wheel, then typically felt in the floor panel.
- The condition will be eliminated once the vehicle is driven on relatively flat ground, typically for
1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi).
Cause
This condition may be caused by interaction between the front brake lining material and the front
brake rotors.
Correction
Important DO NOT attempt any repairs on the vehicle until you verify the specific condition is
present by following the steps below:
1. Warm up the vehicle by driving approximately 8 km (5 mi). 2. Drive the vehicle in the lane closest
to the side of the fairly steep grade (roughly 5 percent or greater), taller hill (roughly 1.5 km [1‹›mi]
road
length or greater), without sharp turns, and with a speed limit of 64 km/h (40 mph) or greater, with
the side windows down.
3. While in Drive, descending downhill, apply the brakes naturally, only as needed, to maintain the
speed limit. 4. Observe for noise, followed by pulsation/vibration. Observe where the noise,
pulsation and/or vibration are most noticeable. 5. Drive the vehicle on relatively flat ground for 1.5-3
km (1-2 mi) to verify that the condition goes away completely.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Further Repair for Customer Enthusiasm
Only in situations when the above repairs are completed and the customer is still commenting on
objectionable noise, the following additional steps can be done to sound-proof the body rear panel.
This additional sound-proofing should only be done in cases deemed necessary for customer
enthusiasm.
Note After this procedure has been performed, the vehicle needs to be re-assembled and
evaluated with the trim and rear seat fully installed in the vehicle. If the bulletin has been followed
properly, the noise should be reduced to a level quieter than stock 2011 models, and no further
repairs should be attempted.
It has been found that controlling the wind noise at the two pressure relief valve (PRV) locations is
the key to quieting the rear cab wind noise. The repair below has been found to be successful in
eliminating most of the objectionable noise.
1. R & R the rear seat and any necessary trim to remove the body rear panel insulator. Refer to
Body Rear Panel Insulator Replacement (Extended

Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution) .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used
instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate
even though voltage is present.
The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached
pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal
Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe
terminals.
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice
is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter
because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity.
Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved
Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct
adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution
Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution
Caution: Do not remove the pigtail from either the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) or the oxygen
sensor (O2S). Removing the pigtail or the connector will affect sensor operation.
Handle the oxygen sensor carefully. Do not drop the HO2S. Keep the in-line electrical connector
and the louvered end free of grease, dirt, or other contaminants. Do not use cleaning solvents of
any type.
Do not repair the wiring, connector or terminals. Replace the oxygen sensor if the pigtail wiring,
connector, or terminal is damaged.
This external clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires.
Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors, or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air
reference and degraded sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor causing poor performance.
* Do not damage the sensor pigtail and harness wires in such a way that the wires inside are
exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause
performance problems.
* Ensure the sensor or vehicle lead wires are not bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends or kinks
could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire, where applicable. Vehicles that utilize
the ground wired sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor.
Removal of the ground wire will cause poor engine performance.
* Ensure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector in order to
prevent damage due to water intrusion. The engine harness may be repaired using Packard's
Crimp and Splice Seals Terminal Repair Kit. Under no circumstances should repairs be soldered
since this could result in the air reference being obstructed.

Service and Repair
Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is
based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life
system to work properly, the system must be reset every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it indicates that an oil change is
necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes on. See DIC Warnings and
Messages. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible
that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system might not indicate that an oil change is
necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year
and at this time the system must be reset. Your dealer/retailer has trained service people who will
perform this work using genuine parts and reset the system. It is also important to check the oil
regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since the
last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System (From Owner's Manual)
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message coming on, reset the system.
Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change. It will not reset itself. To reset the
Engine Oil Life System:
1. Display the OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC. If the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, the
vehicle must be in P (Park) to access this display. 2. Press and hold the SET/RESET button on the
DIC, or the trip odometer reset stem if the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, for more than five
seconds. The oil life will change to 100%.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes back on when the vehicle is started, the
Engine Oil Life System has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
GM Oil Life System Resetting (From Service Manual)
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change
is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will come on. Change the engine oil as
soon as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 miles). It is possible that, if driving under the best
conditions, the oil life system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year.
However, the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system
must be reset.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, change the engine oil at 5 000 km (3,000 miles) since last
oil change.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System (From Service Manual)
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Anytime the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message being turned on, reset the system.
If the vehicle does not have a Driver Information Center (DIC), do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine OFF. 2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal
slowly three times within five seconds. 3. Turn the key to OFF. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message comes back on when you start the vehicle, the engine oil life system has not
reset. Repeat the procedure.
If the vehicle has a DIC, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine OFF. 2. Press the MODE button until the DIC reads OIL
LIFE LEFT/HOLD SET TO RESET. 3. Press and hold the SET button until 100 percent is
displayed. You will hear three chimes and the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will go
off.
4. Turn the key to OFF.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes back on when you start the vehicle, the
engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the

- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Page 9279
5. Repair or replace the terminal(s) as needed. Refer to the instructions in the J-38125 manual.
10. If the wiring is damaged, repair as needed. Refer to Wiring Systems and Power Management >
Diagnostic Information and Procedures in SI. 11. Slide the new terminal(s) into the correct cavity at
the back of the connector until it locks in place. The new terminal(s) should be even with the
other terminal(s).
12. Ensure that each terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
Note The male terminal(s) cannot be repaired as they are an integral part of the transmission
control module (TCM).
13. Inspect for bent or misaligned terminal(s) in the transmission half of the electrical connector.
‹› If they are bent, use a suitable tool and apply gentle pressure to straighten them. Indicate on the
repair order the terminal number of the male
terminal that was bent.
‹› If they are damaged, refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly
Replacement in SI.
14. Prior to installing the transmission connector, perform the following steps to ensure that the
TPA lock is fully seated.
Locate the TPA lock in the reassembled transmission connector. Refer to the arrow in the
illustration above, which points to a TPA lock. This one is in an unseated position. Using a small flat
blade tool, push to seat the TPA until it bottoms out. Verify the TPA is fully seated.
- If the TPA is off-center in the check window as shown, then it is only partially seated. Note the
large gap at the arrow. Reseat the TPA lock and ensure that it is fully seated.
- If the TPA lock is centered in the window as shown, then it is fully seated. The gaps shown by the
arrows should be even on both sides.
15. Install the transmission 16-way electrical connector.

Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety
Information/Brake Dust Warning) .
Note
* Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout
(LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation.
Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Thickness Variation
Measurement) .
* Brake rotor assembled LRO exceeding the maximum allowable specification can cause thickness
variation to develop in the brake rotor over time, usually between 4,800-11, 300 km (3,000-7,000
mi). Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Measurement) .
1. Remove the J-45101-100 - washers and the lug nuts that were installed during the assembled
LRO measurement procedure. 2. Inspect the mating surface of the hub/axle flange and the brake
rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining. 3. Index the brake rotor in a
different orientation to the hub/axle flange. 4. Hold the rotor firmly in place against the hub/axle
flange and install one of the J-45101-100 - washers (1) and one lug nut (2) onto the upper-most
wheel stud.
5. Continue to hold the rotor secure and tighten the lug nut firmly by hand.
6. Install the remainingJ-45101-100 - washers and lug nuts onto the wheel studs and tighten the
nuts firmly by hand in a star-pattern. 7. Using the J-39544-KIT - set , or equivalent, tighten the lug
nuts in a star-pattern to specification, in order to properly secure the rotor. Refer to
Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and Repair)
.
8. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout
Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Measurement) .
9. Compare the amount of change between this measurement and the original measurement.
10. If this measurement is within specifications, proceed to step 14. 11. If this measurement still
exceeds specifications, repeat steps 1-9 until the best assembled LRO measurement is obtained.
12. Matchmark the final location of the rotor to the wheel studs if the orientation is different than it
was originally. 13. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement still exceeds the maximum
allowable specification, refer toBrake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.

view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger
point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The
Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing
hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in,
first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
* Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
* Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if The Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing for a Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.

Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) . Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray
Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as
ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the
conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 .

Instruments - Bulb Outage Detection Restoration
Body Control Module: Customer Interest Instruments - Bulb Outage Detection Restoration
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note
On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove
the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service
loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

3. Place a protective cover over the carpet below the evaporator core. 4. Remove the cabin air
filter, if equipped, and cover the opening prior to applying the Cooling Coil Coating, as the product
may clog the filter. If the
cabin air filter appears to have little or no remaining life, suggest a replacement to your customer.
5. If the HVAC module has a blower motor cooling tube, be careful NOT TO SPRAY THE
COOLING COIL COATING INTO THE
BLOWER MOTOR COOLING TUBE.
6. Attach the Flexible Applicator Pressure Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) to a compressed air line
operating at 586 kPa (85 psi) to 793 kPa (115 psi). 7. Shake the bottle of Cooling Coil Coating well.
Screw the bottle onto the cap on the applicator tool's pick-up tube.
Note The pick-up tube is designed for 120 ml (4 oz) and 240 ml (8 oz) bottles and should coil
slightly in the bottom of a 120 ml (4 oz) bottle.
8. Use one of the following three methods to apply the Cooling Coil Coating.
Important If the Pressure Applicator Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) is not available, the Cooling Coil
Coating is also available in an aerosol can (P/N 12377951 (in Canada, 10953503)).
Application Through Blower Motor Control Module Opening
- Remove the blower motor control module (blower motor resistor). Refer to the applicable
procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor blower
motor control module (blower motor resistor) opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor blower motor control module (blower
motor control module).
Application Through Blower Motor Opening
- Remove the blower motor. Refer to the applicable blower motor removal procedure in SI.
- Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core
surface.
- Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor opening.
- Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and
surrounding gasket surfaces.
- When the application is complete, install the blower motor.
Application Through a Hole in the HVAC Module
- If neither of the two previous application methods are available, it may be necessary to drill a hole
in the HVAC module.
- Locate an area of the HVAC module between the blower motor and the evaporator core. Drill a 10
mm (3/8 in) hole in the HVAC module. Use caution to keep the drill clear of the evaporator core and
the blower motor fan.
- With the air distribution vents closed and the blower motor fan speed on HIGH, insert the
applicator tool into the hole and spray the Cooling Coil Coating into the airstream toward the
evaporator core.
- Use a GM approved RTV sealant to plug the hole in the HVAC module.
9. After the Cooling Coil Coating application is complete, start and run the vehicle for approximately
10 minutes, with the compressor disabled,
HVAC mode set to Recirculate/Max, heat set to full warm, blower motor fan speed on high, and
one window open approximately 12 mm (1/2 in). This cures the Cooling Coil Coating onto the
evaporator core surface.
10. While the engine is running, rinse the applicator tool with warm water to prolong the life of the
tool. Be sure to spray warm water through the
nozzle to rinse out any residual Cooling Coil Coating still in the capillary pick up tube, otherwise it
will dry and clog the applicator tool. Also remove the small green valve from the bottle cap and
rinse it thoroughly while rolling it between two fingers and then reinstall it. If this valve is clogged ,
the Cooling Coil Coating will not flow through the applicator tool.
11. Shut off the engine and enable the compressor again. 12. Verify proper HVAC system
operation. 13. Remove the protective cover from inside the vehicle. 14. Remove the drain pan from
underneath the vehicle. 15. Reinstall the cabin air filter if necessary.

Number 07-06-01-016A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important Engine damage that is the result of an incorrect or improperly installed engine oil filter is
not a warrantable claim. The best way to avoid oil filter quality concerns is to purchase ACDelco(R)
oil filters directly from GMSPO.
Oil filter misapplication may cause abnormal engine noise or internal damage. Always utilize the
most recent parts information to ensure the correct part number filter is installed when replacing oil
filters. Do not rely on physical dimensions alone. Counterfeit copies of name brand parts have been
discovered in some aftermarket parts systems. Always ensure the parts you install are from a
trusted source. Improper oil filter installation may result in catastrophic engine damage.
Refer to the appropriate Service Information (SI) installation instructions when replacing any oil
filter and pay particular attention to procedures for proper cartridge filter element alignment. If the
diagnostics in SI (Engine Mechanical) lead to the oil filter as the cause of the internal engine noise
or damage, dealers should submit a field product report. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
02-00-89-002I (Information for Dealers on How to Submit a Field Product Report).

Average Fuel Economy
Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation: AFE = Distance/Fuel
* Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value
* Fuel = The accumulated fuel consumption since the last reset of this value
The engine control module (ECM) sends the average fuel economy serial data message to the
instrument panel cluster (IPC). The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be
changed between English units and metric units by selecting from the driver information center
(DIC) options menu.
Oil Life Remaining
The ECM sends the oil life remaining percentage to the IPC via a serial data message. The
instrument panel cluster receives a serial data message indicating the engine oil life remaining. The
DIC displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as determined by the ECM. When
the oil life remaining percentage drops below 5 percent, the DIC displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON. When the engine oil is changed, reset the GM Oil Life System. Refer to GM Oil Life System
Resetting .
Fuel Range
This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel
economy and fuel level conditions since the last battery connection to the IPC. Fuel Range is
calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.
* Range Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
* Fuel Used = The accumulated fuel delivered since the last reset of this value
The ECM sends the fuel range value to the IPC. The IPC receives a serial data message with the
fuel information. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between
English and Metric units by accessing the DIC English/Metric menu. The Fuel Range display
cannot be reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value.
Fuel Used
The DIC calculates and displays the total amount of fuel used since the last reset operation. You
can reset the fuel used mode by depressing and holding the Set/Reset button for more than 3
seconds. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE)
Instantaneous fuel economy (IFE) is calculated using the equation: IFE = Distance/Fuel Used.
* Distance = The accumulated distance travelled for the last 2 seconds
* Fuel = The accumulated fuel delivered for the last 2 seconds
The IPC receives a serial data message from the ECM. The distance information is calculated by
the IPC using the vehicle speed information from the ECM. These values are retained during
ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units accessing the DIC
English/Metric menu. The IFE display cannot be reset.
Tire Pressure Monitor
The IPC receives a serial data message from the tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system for front
and rear tire pressure data. The DIC will display the pressure for each of the front and rear tires.
When a tire with low air pressure is present, the DIC displays XXXX XXXX TIRE PRESSURE
LOW.
Trip Time
The timer records elapsed time starting from activation. When the DIC displays the timer, pressing
the Set/Reset switch for 1 second on the DIC resets the timer. Pressing the Set/Reset button on
the DIC switch for approximately 1 second starts and stops the timer. The DIC displays the timer in
one of the following formats:

TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year and new Correction
information for the 2009 model year - left rocker arm cover replacement. Information has also been
added after step 9. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-01-008A (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment about engine oil consumption of vehicles with higher mileage
(approximately 48,000 to 64,000 km (30,000 to 40,000 mi). Verify that the induction system is
assembled correctly and that there is no evidence that the engine has been ingesting dirty air due
to a mis-assembled induction system. Also verify that the PCV system is functioning properly. If
diagnostic procedures indicate that oil consumption is piston /piston ring related, verify that oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart. If these conditions are met and oil
consumption is less than 3,000 km (2,000 mi) per liter/quart, perform the service indicated in this
bulletin.
Cause
This condition may be caused by oil spray that is discharged from the AFM pressure relief valve
within the crankcase. Under most driving conditions and drive cycles, the discharged oil does not
cause a problem. Under certain drive cycles (extended high engine speed operation), in
combination with parts at the high end of their tolerance specification, the oil spray quantity may be
more than usual, resulting in excessive deposit formation in the piston ring grooves, causing
increased oil consumption.
Correction
2009 Vehicles Only
Important This left rocker arm cover is NOT to be used on 2007-2008 vehicles because of the
calibration of the PCV orifice being different in 2007-2008.
A new left rocker arm cover has been released for 2009 engines. Technicians should replace the
left rocker arm cover with GM P/N 12642655. This rocker arm cover has relocated PCV drain holes
that prevents PCV pullover into the intake manifold. Refer to SI for Valve Rocker Arm Cover
Replacement - Left Side.
2008-2007 Vehicles Only
To correct this condition, perform the piston cleaning procedure as described in this document, and
install a shield over the AFM pressure relief valve per the procedure outlined in this document.
Monitor oil consumption after this repair to ensure oil consumption has improved to acceptable
levels. If this repair does not correct the condition, it may be necessary to replace the piston
assemblies (piston and rings) with new parts.
Important It is critical in this cleaning process that the engine/fuel injector cleaner remain in the
cylinders for a minimum of 2.5 hours to fully clean the components. The cleaner solution must be
removed before a maximum of three hours.
1. Verify the oil consumption concern following Corporate Bulletin Number 01-06-01-011F. If oil
consumption is found, continue on with this
bulletin.
2. Remove the spark plugs and ensure that none of the pistons are at top dead center (TDC). 3.
Clean the pistons by putting 118-147 ml (4-5 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, GM
P/N 88861802 (in Canada, use 88861804), in
each cylinder. Allow the material to soak for at least 2.5-3.0 hours, but no more than three hours
and then remove the cleaner. A suggested method

UPF (Bluetooth) 2009 Cadillac STS with UE1 (OnStar) and YQ4 (Bluetooth in Nav Radio)
On vehicles not equipped with Bluetooth, the voice recognition system will not recognize the
"Bluetooth" command even though the voice prompts indicate "Bluetooth" is an option.
Description
Proper Operation
In the voice recognition menu (entered through the Steering Wheel Control Switch), the customer
says "Bluetooth." If the vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth (all except STS), a "Bluetooth Ready"
audio prompt will play.
If the vehicle consistently responds with "Pardon" or some other response, then the vehicle does
not have the Bluetooth functionality (UPF Option code). The UPF option has to be factory installed
in order for the "bluetooth" command to function (all except STS).
Typical Customer Experience
Enter into the voice recognition menu through the Steering Wheel Control Switch (For vehicle
specific instructions on how to enter the voice recognition menu, reference the vehicle owner's
guide.) Here is the expected dialogue:
^ System Response: "Ready" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Pardon" ^
Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System response: "Sorry I didn't get that. You can say dial, store,
call, Bluetooth, more commands, help, or goodbye". ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System
Response: "Pardon" ^ Customer says, "Bluetooth" ^ System Response: "Thank you. Goodbye" and
the session is ended.
Important:
When the customer says, "Bluetooth" in a vehicle without the Bluetooth feature, this may also
disable the system's ability to respond to the "more help" command.
Please instruct customers not to attempt Bluetooth functionality if their vehicle is not equipped with
the option.
STS Only
The STS may experience the same condition as stated above even if the vehicle is equipped with
the YQ4 (Bluetooth/Nav Radio) option if the voice recognition mode is entered through the steering
wheel control. The STS has the Bluetooth functionality as part of the Navigation Radio, and
Bluetooth must be entered from the radio itself.
To enter Bluetooth mode on the STS:
1. PRESS the CONFIG hard key on the radio.

The GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product is an effective odor elimination product when used
properly. It must come into direct contact with the odor source. It should be used in conjunction with
diagnostic procedures to first eliminate the root cause of the odor. Some procedures for use after
odor root cause correction are:
STEP TWO:
^ Use the trigger spray head.
^ Put a drop of dish soap the size of a quarter in the bottom of a bottle.
^ Add 8 oz. of GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator (1 cup) to the dish soap and top off the bottle with
tap water.
^ This formula should be used on hard surfaces (dash, interior plastic molding, and floor pan)
STEP THREE:
The third step to neutralizing the vehicle is a light to medium treatment of all carpeting and
upholstered seats with the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula and a wide fan spray setting
(at full strength) (i.e.: carpeting on the driver's side requires 4-5 triggers pulls for coverage). The
headliner and trunk should be sprayed next. Lightly brushing the formula into the carpeting and
upholstery is a recommended step for deep odor problems. The dash and all hard surfaces should
be sprayed with dish soap/water mixture. Let stand for 1-2 minutes then wipe off the surface.
STEP FOUR: (vehicle ventilation system treatment)
The ventilation system is generally the last step in the treatment of the vehicle.
a. Spray the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula into all dash vents. (1-2 trigger pulls per
vent).
b. Start the vehicle and turn the vehicle fan on high cool (not A/C setting).
c. Spray the formula (10 trigger pulls) into the outside fresh air intake vent (cowl at base of
windshield)
d. Enter the vehicle after 1 minute and wipe off the excess formula spurting out of the dash vents.
e. Smell the air coming from the dash vents. If odors are still present, spray another 5 triggers into
the cowl, wait another minute and smell the results. Once you have obtained a fresh, clean smell
coming from the vents, turn the system to the A/C re-circulation setting. Roll up the windows, spray
3-5 pumps into the right lower IP area and let the vehicle run with the fan set on high for 5-7
minutes.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited
is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If
these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
Additional Suggestions to Increase Customer Satisfaction
Here are some additional ideas to benefit your dealership and to generate greater customer
enthusiasm for this product.
^ Keep this product on-hand for both the Service Department and the Used Car lot. Add value to
your used car trades; treat loaner and demo cars during service and at final sale to eliminate
smoke, pet, and other common odors offensive to customers. Make deodorizing a vehicle part of
your normal vehicle detailing service.
^ Consider including GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator as a give-away item with new vehicle
purchases. Many dealers give away as "gifts" various cleaning supplies at time of delivery. GM
Odor Eliminator is one of a few products GM offers that has as many uses in the home as in the
vehicle. Customers may find this product can be used for a host of recreational activities
associated with their new vehicle, such as deodorizing a boat they tow, or a camper.
^ GM Odor Eliminator and many of the GM Vehicle Care products offer you the chance to increase
dealership traffic as these superior quality products cannot be purchased in stores. Many
Dealerships have product displays at the parts counter. Consider additional displays in the
Customer Service Lounge, the Showroom and at the Service Desk or Cashier Window. Many
customers who purchase vehicles and receive regular maintenance at your dealership may never
visit the parts counter, and subsequently are not exposed to the variety and value that these
products offer.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures

Important Prior to attempting a repair of the vehicle, it will be necessary to compare it to a like
vehicle in similar operating characteristics to determine if it should be considered normal operation
or a repairable condition.
1. To properly diagnose the C-pillar body filler issue, complete the following steps:
1. Close the all doors and windows of the vehicle. 2. Without starting the vehicle, turn the vehicle
ignition to the ON/RUN position. 3. Press the HVAC selector switch for Outside Air. 4. Turn the
HVAC Fan Control to Medium/High.
Note The air flow that is felt most commonly exits the lower C-pillar opening shown in the graphic
above.
5. Run your hand alongside the lower seam of the body at the base of the C-pillar and feel for air
flowing out of the bottom of the body. 6. Compare the air flow on the opposite side of the vehicle. If
one side exhibits a distinct higher amount of air flow, continue on to the next step
in this procedure to start the process of adding sealer to the C-pillar on that side. If no air flow
difference is found, skip ahead to Correction #2.
2. To access the inner C-pillar, remove the rear seat and the body lock pillar trim panel. Refer to

J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200 . The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note
The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics) for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of
the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J
39200 . The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note
The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to
record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J-38125 .
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal
Repair kit).
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair. Obvious areas
of consideration would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, and
exhaust pipes.
The J-38125 contains much of the material you will need to perform repairs on areas exposed to
high heat. The kit contains the following items:
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct crimp tool to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
The J-38125 does not contain wire that is suitable to high temperature exposure. Use high
temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or larger gage
size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove
during the repair.

Subject: 4WD System Shift Performance in Cold Ambient Temperatures (Use Synthetic Fluid in
Light Duty Front Axles with 8.5" Ring Gears)
Models:
1999-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series Models 1999-2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Series Models
Equipped with 4WD and 8.25" Front Axle Ring Gears (Transfer Case RPOs NP2, NQG)
Attention:
It is important to determine the RPO for the transfer case in GWM/IVH prior to applying this bulletin.
This bulletin applies ONLY to vehicles equipped with 8.25" front axle ring gears, used in
conjunction with a manual transfer case (RPOs NP2, NQG).
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-04-19-002 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment about the effort required to shift from 2HI to 4HI in cold ambient
temperatures at -6°C (20°F) or below.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the standard front axle being equipped with conventional mineral
oil axle fluid. In cold ambient temperatures, prior to complete warm up, the fluid viscosity is thick.
This may affect transfer case shift performance prior to full warm up.
Correction
Drain the front axle fluid and refill with GM SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Fluid, P/N 89021677 (in
Canada, 89021678). Refer to Front Axle Lubricant Replacement in SI. It is important to use
synthetic fluid in this 8.25" axle to improve the performance of the 4WD system in cold ambient
temperatures.

Note
A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and
low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed
system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125 . If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) for the appropriate
connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5
mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125 . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 07-08-48-004 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Some dealers/customers may notice
that the outside temperature and compass are not displayed in the inside rearview mirror. The
mirrors are usually turned on when the vehicles leave the assembly plant, but there may be
situations when the mirrors may be turned off by the transport company, dealer personnel and/or
the customer.
If you experience a vehicle that has an inoperative compass and temperature display, make sure
that the function is turned on in the mirror. Briefly press the on/off button on the left side of the
mirror (RPO DF5) to turn the display on.
The green LED that is on the left side of the mirror is for the automatic dimming function. There has
been some confusion in which a customer sees the green LED and thinks that this automatically
means the compass and the temperature display should be illuminated. So the customer may not
try to turn the function on.
If the vehicle is equipped with the Intellibeam(R) (RPO TQ5) mirror, press and hold the auto
headlamp button on the left side of the mirror for 3-5 seconds.
The Warranty Parts Center (WPC) has found that several of the mirrors were returned with the
function turned off and there were no problems found with the mirror.

Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125 , test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and Power Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Power
Distribution Schematics) .
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Ground Distribution Schematics) .

"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.

Do not use cleaning solutions that contain hydrofluoric, oxalic and most other acids on chrome
wheels (or any wheels).
If the customer is unsure of the chemical make-up of a particular wheel cleaner, it should be
avoided.
For wheels showing signs of milky staining from acidic cleaners, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Warranty of Stained Chrome Wheels
Stained wheels are not warrantable. Most acid based cleaners will permanently stain chrome
wheels. Follow-up with dealers has confirmed that such cleaners were used on wheels that were
returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC). Any stained wheels received by the WPC will be
charged back to the dealership. To assist the customer, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Pitting or Spotted Appearance of Chrome Wheels Figure 2
A second type or staining or finish disturbance may result from road chemicals, such as calcium
chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads. The staining will look like small pitting (refer to
Figure 2). This staining will usually be on the leading edges of each wheel spoke, but may be
uniformly distributed. If a vehicle must be operated under such conditions, the chrome wheels
should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed as soon as conveniently
possible.
Important Road chemicals, such as calcium chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads, can
also stain chrome wheels. The staining will look like small pitting. This staining will usually be on
the leading edges of each wheel spoke. This is explained by the vehicle traveling in the forward
direction while being splashed by the road chemical. If a vehicle must be operated under such
conditions, the chrome wheels should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed
as soon as conveniently possible.
Warranty of Pitted or Spotted Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of road chemicals may be replaced one time.
Damage resulting from contact with these applied road chemicals is corrosive to the wheels finish
and may cause damage if the wheels are not kept clean.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean if they are operating the vehicle in an area that
applies calcium chloride or other dust controlling chemicals! "GM of Canada" dealers require prior
approval by the District Manager - Customer Care and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
"Stardust" Corrosion of Chrome Wheels Figure 3
A third type of finish disturbance results from prolonged exposure to brake dust and resultant
penetration of brake dust through the chrome. As brakes are applied hot particles of brake material
are thrown off and tend to be forced through the leading edge of the wheel spoke windows by
airflow. These

BENCH LATHE - DO NOT remove conical washers and lug nuts at this time.
ON-CAR LATHE - You must remove adapter and install conical washers and lug nuts to retain
rotor position.
Important For Hubless rotor design, while removing the adapter, you must hold the rotor tight to the
hub and install the top conical washer and lug nut first to ensure no debris falls between the
surface while removing the adapter. Then, install the remaining conical washers and lug nuts.
Otherwise, LRO will be comprised.
15. Perform Steps 1 through 7 on the opposite side of the vehicle (steps 1-12, if performing LRO).
16. Reinstall the rotors on both sides of the vehicle and perform the following steps:
1. Reinstall the calipers and pads.
2. Pump the brakes to pressurize the calipers.
3. Remove the lug nuts/conical washers.
4. Install and properly torque the wheels.
Important It is critical to follow the star pattern wheel torque procedure and use the proper tools
(torque stick or torque wrench) as referenced in SI.
17. Road test the vehicle to verify the repairs.
Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure
BRAKE LATHE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Calibration of the brake lathe should be performed and recorded monthly or whenever post-service
brake rotor LRO measurements are consistently reading above specification.
BENCH-TYPE LATHE
Use the following procedure to calibrate a Bench-type brake lathe:
1. After refinishing a rotor, loosen the arbor nut and while holding the inside bell clamp to keep it
from rotating, rotate the rotor 180 degrees.
2. Retighten the arbor nut and set the dial indicator on the rotor using the same instructions as
checking the run out on the vehicle.
3. Rotate the arbor and read the runout.
4. Divide the reading by two and this will give you the amount of runout the lathe is cutting into the
rotor.
Important If there is any runout, you will need to machine the inside bell clamp in place on the lathe
(this procedure is for a Bench type lathe ONLY, DO NOT machine inside the bell clamp on an
On-Car type lathe).
Machining the Inside Bell Clamp (Bench Type Lathe Only)
Any nicks or burrs on the shoulder of the arbor must be removed. An 80-grit stone can be used to
accomplish this. Spray WD-40(R) on the shoulder and with the lathe running, hold the stone flat
against the shoulder surface using slight pressure. When the burrs are gone, clean the surface.
Burrs must also be removed from the hub of the inside bell clamp. This can be accomplished with
the stone and WD-40(R). Keep the stone flat on the hub while removing the burrs. After removing
the burrs, clean the hub.
Place the bell clamp on the arbor of the lathe and use the small radius adapters first and then
spacers to allow you to tighten the arbor nut to secure the bell clamp to the lathe. Position the tool
bit in the left hand of the rotor truer so you can machine the face of the bell clamp. Machine the
face of the bell clamp taking just enough off of it to cut the full face of the clamp the full 360
degrees. Before you loosen the arbor nut, match mark the hub of the bell clamp to the arbor and
line up these marks before machining a rotor. A magic marker can be used to make the match
marks. Machine a rotor and recheck the calibration. Repeat this procedure on all Inside Bell
Clamps used.

8. Use the J 38125-24 or the J 38125-560 tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the
terminal release cavity. See the release tool cross
reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
9. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 05-09-40-002D (Section 09 - Restraints).
The purpose of this bulletin is to explain when the safety belts are supposed to lock. There are
several different locking situations for both front and rear safety belts.
Overspool Lock
There is an unintentional locking condition that ALL safety belts from ALL manufacturers may
experience called "overspool lock". If the webbing snaps back to the stowed position rapidly
enough, the retractor will lock with the belt fully stowed. This is more likely to occur when
customers "help" the belt to retract. Without the weight of the latch plate and friction to slow the
retractive speed of the webbing, the higher than normal webbing retraction speed that occurs
engages the locking mechanism when a sudden stop occurs at the end of web travel. Since the
webbing is now fully loaded on the spool, the retractor cannot rewind itself further to release the
locking mechanism. When this happens, the occupant cannot extract the belt to wear it. DO NOT
replace the retractor for this condition until first attempting to disengage the locking mechanism by
following the recommendation listed below.
Recommendation
Pull hard on the locked webbing and then release. The hard pull extracts a small amount of
webbing from the retractor which, in turn, permits a small amount of retraction to occur when
released. This is all that is needed to disengage the locking mechanism. The safety belt will now
function properly.
Vehicle Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the vehicle under the following conditions:
- The vehicle changes speed or direction abruptly (the vehicle goes into rapid acceleration OR
rapid deceleration or there is aggressive cornering).
- It can also occur in a static condition when a vehicle is parked on a large slant (fore-aft or
side-to-side), such as streets in San Francisco, California.
- It may also occur over rough road conditions where the retractor mechanism is bounced into a
locked condition.
In all of these conditions, as long as tension is maintained on the webbing, the belt will stay locked.
When the tension is released, the belt retracts slightly, the lock bar disengages and the safety belt
should return to normal function. Please inform customers that may comment that "the belt locks
intermittently" that this is the design intent and the belt is functioning properly.
Web Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the extraction of webbing. When the webbing reels out at
an accelerated rate, it goes into lock mode and stays there until tension is again released. To
observe this condition, extract the webbing quickly. Customers may refer to this condition as
"intermittent lock-up" and encounter it when trying to put the belt on too quickly.
Automatic Locking (ALR)
When the webbing is pulled all the way out, it automatically converts the retractor into a cinch-down
mode (i.e. ALR). This is typically used to tightly secure a child seat to the vehicle. Some customers
may experience inadvertent activation of ALR mode if they happen to pull the belt all the way out to
the end of travel while they are putting the belt on. The ALR mode of operation is automatically
cancelled when the belt is unfastened and stowed (the belt returns to normal sensitive function).
Corvette only - This locking mechanism is also provided at the driver's position of the Corvette only,
as a unique feature. Corvette customers may find this feature appealing when they plan to operate
the vehicle in a "spirited" manner (such as driving in mountainous terrain). With the ALR active, the
operator is snugly cinched into the seat and kept firmly in place during high G-force driving
maneuvers.

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a summary of the steps required for the technician to
install LPO dealer installed 20/22 inch accessory wheels on a full-size utility or pickup.
These wheel options are identified with the RPO code RPP (this designates the 17" wheel and tire
that will be removed by the dealer).
The following RPO codes designate the 20 inch or 22 inch accessory wheel that will be installed by
the dealer: VSA, VSB, VSC, VSF, VS3, VZJ, VZK, VS5, VS4, VSJ, VSK, VZH, VSN, VS8.
Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard
value.

^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

customer.
What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1
Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an
example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from
using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient
to clean wheels.
If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states
that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers
should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these
chemicals.)
- Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome)
- Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid
- Sulfamic Acid
- Phosphoric Acid
- Hydroxyacetic Acid
Notice
Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most
customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal.
Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the
paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car
warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the
calipers.
Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean,
clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts,
lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to
the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the
damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

5. Position the wheel and tire so the valve stem is situated at the 2 o'clock position relative to the
head. The tire iron or pry bar can be inserted when prying the outer tire bead up and over the
mounting/dismounting head.
6. Position the wheel and tire so that the valve stem is situated again at the 2 o'clock position
relative to the head. The tire iron or pry bar can be inserted when prying the inner tire bead up and
over the mounting/dismounting head.
7. Remove all residual liquid sealant from the inside of the tire and wheel surfaces. If any tire
sealant is noted upon tire dismounting on vehicles equipped with TPM replace the tire pressure
sensor.
8. Use a wire brush or coarse steel wool in order to remove any rubber, light rust or corrosion from
the wheel bead seats.
Important:
If bead seat corrosion has been identified as an air loss concern on the wheel being worked on,
refer to GM Service Bulletin # 08-03-10-006 for additional information on correcting the leak.
9. Apply GM P/N 12345884 (in Canada, P/N 5728223) or equivalent to the tire bead and the wheel

circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire rated
at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature rating of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm
etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 and then
encapsulate the splice sleeve using the high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing. Use the following
wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the order listed. Repeat the procedure if any wire
strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip keeping all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape. 2. Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing
supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. 3. Cut as
little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
4. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gage
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire to be spliced.
Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with
the splice procedure.
6. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
7. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue
splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.

Condition
On rare occasions, some customers may comment that the cruise control turned off. This typically
occurs during operation and while pulling up and releasing both driver door window switches or
activating the heated windshield washer fluid system in cold weather conditions with a battery
charge below 80%.
Cause
Cruise control command cancellation is caused by a voltage spike that occurs when the driver door
window switches are released or when the heated washer fluid system is activated.
Correction
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the ECM with the latest calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on
TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI. SPS
may require the technician to select the calibration from the ECM calibration screen.
Note
This calibration update should only be used when this loss of cruise control condition is
experienced.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.
During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the roof panel flutters and/or there is a rattle noise from the
roof or headliner when closing one of the side doors or the liftgate.
Cause
This may be caused by the excessive motion of the roof panel. On initial inspection, you may notice
that the roof panel expansion adhesive material has separated between the roof and the roof bow.
The concern is seen mostly on the first cross bow.
Correction
Lower the headliner assembly (it is not usually necessary to remove the headliner from the vehicle)
to gain access to the roof bows. Refer to Headlining Trim Panel Replacement in SI.
Remove any loose foam from the roof bow or bows. Apply Fusor super flexible anti-flutter foam-fast
set, Fusor P/N 121/124, or equivalent, in a continuous bead the entire length between the roof bow
reinforcement and the roof outer panel.
Reinstall the headliner. Refer to Headlining Trim Panel Replacement in SI.

Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by
spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature
contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil
control circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). The ODM
output control is configured to operate as a low side driver for the powertrain relay. The ODM for
the powertrain relay also incorporates a fault detection circuit, which is continuously monitored by
the ECM. When the ECM commands the powertrain relay ON, ignition 1 voltage is supplied to the
ECM, and to several additional circuits.
Diagnostic Aids
This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely
charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See: Starting and Charging/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test) .

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note
After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to
reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a
small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.

Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics) .
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note
DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test Probe Caution) .
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Page 14717

Alignment: Description and Operation Toe Description
Toe Description
Toe Description
Toe is a measurement of how much the front and/or rear wheels are turned in or out from a
straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+). When the wheels are
turned out, toe is negative (-). The actual amount of toe is normally only a fraction of a degree. The
purpose of toe is to ensure that the wheels roll parallel.
Toe also offsets the small deflections of the wheel support system that occur when the vehicle is
rolling forward. In other words, with the vehicle standing still and the wheels set with toe-in, the
wheels tend to roll parallel on the road when the vehicle is moving.
Improper toe adjustment will cause premature tire wear and cause steering instability.

* Seat cushion temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 7 X2 and low reference circuit terminal 8
X2.
* Seat back temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 9 X2 and low reference circuit terminal 10
X2.
‹› If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If
the circuits test normal, test or replace the
appropriate seat cushion or seat back heat/cool seat ventilation blower.
‹› If greater than the specified range, test the signal and low reference circuits for a short to voltage
or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test
normal, test or replace the appropriate seat cushion or seat back heat/cool seat ventilation blower.
Note
The test leads must be connected in the correct polarity, otherwise lower out of range values will
appear. Use the Positive Lead for the COOL control circuit and the Negative Lead for the HEAT
control circuit. If the resistance is measured with the seat still warm or cool, the resistance values
will vary even if the system was powered up for just a few seconds. The TED must be allowed to
stabilize to room temperature prior to a measurement. The conditions listed below will change the
resistance to out of range values:
* The test leads are incorrectly connected.
* Air blowing across the TED.
* Measuring the resistance at other than room temperature of 70°F (21°C).
* Holding the TED portion of the heat/cool seat ventilation blower in your hand.

Heated/Cooled Seats Inoperative
In warmer or cooler climates where room temperature conditions of 70°F (21°C) may be
unattainable, resistance values may read above the specified range. Use a heat gun or a blower to
warm or cool the TED while measuring the resistance. The resistance values should slowly lower
toward the specified range.
5. Test for 0.9 - 10.0 Ω between the control circuits listed below:
* Seat cushion control circuit terminal G X1 and control circuit terminal H X1
* Seat back control circuit terminal J X1 and control circuit terminal K X1

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to communicate feedback received from engineering
information and add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-64-012B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the
correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the
longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design
connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 02-07-30-052F (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Important All labor operations that include removal of the transmission from the vehicle include
labor time to flush the transmission oil cooler system.
The J 45096 transmission oil cooling system flush and flow test tool replaces current tool J
35944-A. J 45096 is a self-contained unit utilizing a 12-volt flow meter, shop air supply and
DEXRON(R) VI automatic transmission fluid (ATF). In the flush mode, transmission fluid is cycled
through the transmission oil cooling system. High-pressure air is automatically injected into the fluid
stream adding agitation to the ATF oil to enhance the removal of contaminated ATF oil and debris.
In the flow mode, an electronic flow meter is used to measure the flow capability of the ATF oil
cooling system. A digital display indicates the ATF oil flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) along
with the amount of ATF oil in the supply vessel, supply vessel ATF oil temperature, machine cycles
and the operating mode. The supply oil vessel has 30 L (32 qt) capacity and the waste oil vessel
has 32 L (34 qt) capacity. The waste oil vessel is constructed of a translucent composite material
that allows the user to easily identify the oil level. The waste oil vessel can accommodate vacuum
evacuation and gravity draining. In the code mode, a random, encrypted code is generated that can
be used for verification of flow test results.
Current essential cooler line adapters are used to connect the J 45096 to the automatic
transmission oil cooler lines that allows J 45096 to adapt to General Motors passenger cars and
light duty trucks, current and past models (except the Pontiac Vibe, Wave and Chevrolet Aveo).
The tool may be adapted for use on the Pontiac Vibe, Wave and Chevrolet Aveo by dealership
personnel with a barbed hose connector and rubber hose obtained locally. The
Vibe's/Wave's/Aveo's transmission has a transmission oil requirement which is slightly different
than DEXRON(R) VI ATF. However, flushing the cooler with DEXRON(R) VI automatic
transmission fluid is an acceptable service procedure. Very little fluid remains in the cooler after the
flush procedure and the residual DEXRON(R) VI ATF in the cooler is compatible with the
Vibe's/Wave's/Aveo's transmission fluid.
Notice
Insufficient oil flow through the ATF oil cooling system will cause premature transmission failure.
The required minimum ATF oil flow rate reading is directly related to the supply oil temperature.
Refer to the flow rate reference chart for the oil flow rate specification based on the temperature of
the ATF in the supply vessel.
Helpful Hints for Maintaining the Temperature at or above 18°C (65°F)
Important
- The temperature of the supply vessel oil must be 18°C (65°F) or greater for J 45096 to operate. It
is recommended to store the J 45096 in an area of the dealership where the room temperature
remains at or above 18°C (65°F) when not in use.
- Do not attempt to increase the fluid temperature in the Transflow(R) machine with an engine oil
dipstick, or any other immersion type heater. The Transflow(R) machine has a check valve in the
supply reservoir. Inserting a heater will damage the check valve and the subsequent repair
expense would be the dealer's responsibility.
- A heater blanket, P/N J-45096-10, is available for the Transflow(R) transmission cooling system
flushing tool. This heater fastens around the Transflow(R) internal supply vessel and runs on 110
volts AC. The heater will warm the ATF in the supply vessel to at least 18°C (65° F) and has a
thermostat to hold a constant temperature.
Store the Transmission Cooling System Service Tool, J 45096, Transflow(R) machine in a room
where the temperature is maintained at or above 18°C (65°F).
Keep the ATF level in the reservoir low when the Transmission Cooling System Service Tool, J
45096, Transflow(R), is not in use. Store several gallons of oil in an area where the temperature is
maintained at or above 18°C (65°F). Fill the reservoir of the J 45096 as needed before using the
machine on
