Accessory Delay Module: Description and Operation
RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SERIAL DATA CONTROL OF RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP)
The class 2 modules receive the power mode message from the body control module (BCM) over
the serial data circuits, indicating when the RAP power mode is current. The BCM monitors the
ignition switch position, battery condition and passenger compartment doors status to determine
whether RAP should be initiated. The modules then support the operation of the systems under
their control as required by their RAP power mode operation.
RAP will end when one of the following conditions is met: The BCM receives an input indicating the opening of any compartment door.
- The BCM internal timer for the RAP expires after approximately 10 minutes.
- The BCM detects a decrease in battery capacity below a prescribed limit.
The BCM then sends a serial data power mode message Off-Awake ending the RAP function.
The class 2 RAP functions are: The power windows
- The radio

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.

The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year, warranty information and to provide GPS
signal recovery steps (under Dealer Action heading) to do PRIOR to determining if the VIU/VCIM
needs replacement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body
& Accessories).
If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be
made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin #
05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be
deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada.
If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this
bulletin may not be applicable.
Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the
Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is
internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface
Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is
unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or
the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes.
Customer Notification
OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service
department.
Dealer Action
Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement.
The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable,
simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS
date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the
GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time
stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and
may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset.
To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The
preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below.
Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the
applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse).
The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is
contained.
The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not
only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored
personalization information/settings in other modules as well.
After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will
require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time.
Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky.
First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R)
Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10
minutes. Continue to

monitor the Tech2(R) for the current time and date. REMINDER - Keep in mind that the time
displayed on the Tech2(R) is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the offset is based on the time
zones relationship to GMT.
If replacement of the VIU/VCIM is necessary, you MUST reconfigure the OnStar® system. Failure
to reconfigure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. OnStar® VIU,
Generations 2 and 3, will require the technician to press the blue OnStar® button to reconfigure the
vehicle with an OnStar® advisor.
OnStar(R) VCIM, Generations 4-7 will require the technician to reconfigure the vehicle with the use
of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications (pass thru only), along with the Tech2(R).
The configuration and set-up procedure is a two-step process that must be completed step-by-step
without interruption or delay in between each step. This procedure enables an automated activation
without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Following this procedure, it
may take up to 24 hours for all OnStar(R) services to be fully activated.
How to Order Parts
If the OnStar(R) GPS date/time stamp is non-recoverable and the unit needs to be replaced,
dealers in the U.S. should contact Autocraft Electronics select the catalog item that contains this
bulletin number. Canadian dealers should contact MASS Electronics.
Dealers DO NOT need to call the GM Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for replacement
approval. Autocraft Electronics and MASS Electronics will be responsible for verifying that the
subject vehicle is a candidate for a replacement VIU/VCIM.

(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager.
General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Emergency Contact Module: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 117
these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

Emergency Contact Module: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 118
^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The
vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC U1000 and U1255
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module
receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number
of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating
parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that
parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical
parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is
set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with
it, the DTC will only be reported once.
The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star
configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the
following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them:

Part 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following DTCs do not have a current status:
^ B1327
^ B1328
^ U1300
^ U1301
^ U1305
AND
^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number
within the last 5 seconds.

The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

Disclaimer
Program Overview
Program Overview
To upgrade their vehicle to an OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system, all that a customer
must do is:
^ Take their vehicle to their dealer for the system upgrade.

Page 179
^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year,
non-refundable OnStar(R)
Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans:
^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada)
^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada)
^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription:
^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX,
and WV
^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

^ On 2002 Sevilles and DeVilles, the GPS jumper cable MUST be unclipped from the back seat
cross brace, or unplugged from the VCIM first. DO NOT pull back on the mounting bracket until the
GPS antenna jumper cable is unclipped from the back seat cross brace or unplugged from the
VCIM. The short length of jumper cable does not allow the VCIM mounting bracket to be pulled
back very far, and could lead to a break at the VCIM connector.
^ On 2000-2002 Bonnevilles and LeSabres and 2001-2002 Auroras you will need to follow these
steps:
1. Remove the 4 nuts that secure the VCU/VIU bracket assembly to the rear seat back brace.
Note:
Save these nuts for later use.
2. Remove and discard the plastic VCU/VIU bracket assembly from the vehicle.
3. Remove the upper right stud (1) from the rear seat back brace and re-install in the middle lower
slot (2) on the brace. Tighten the fastener to 4 Nm (36 lb in).
4. Position the new VCIM in the vehicle over the studs on the rear seat back brace.
5. Install two of the nuts saved from step (1). Tighten the nuts to 4 Nm (36 lb in).
6. Connect the new OnStar jumper harness supplied in the kit to the VCIM (two white connectors)
and the body wiring harness (C345 connector).
7. Connect the small coaxial jumper cable supplied in the kit, to the VCIM, with the end that has a
blue plastic housing connector. Plug the other end of this coaxial jumper cable to the OnStar Global
Positioning Satellite (GPS) antenna coaxial cable at the right angle connector.
Note:
The GPS cable in the new OnStar jumper harness is not utilized.
8. Connect the cellular coaxial cable to the OnStar VCIM.
On 2001 Impala and Monte Carlos you will need to follow these steps:
9. Remove the Vehicle Communications Unit (VCU) and Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) following the
procedures listed in SI. Save the bracket nuts for later use.

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.

When servicing any of the above models and a battery cable is disconnected or power to the
OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) is interrupted for any reason the
following procedure must be performed to verify proper Global Positioning System (GPS) function.
Never swap OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Modules (VCIM) from other vehicles.
Transfer of OnStar(R) modules from other vehicles should not be done. Each OnStar(R) module
has a unique identification number. The VCIM has a specific Station Identification (STID). This
identification number is used by the National Cellular Telephone Network and OnStar(R) systems
and is stored in General Motors Vehicle History files by VIN.
After completing ALL repairs to the vehicle you must perform the following procedure:
Move the vehicle into an open area of the service lot.
Sit in the vehicle with the engine running and the radio turned on for five minutes.
Press the OnStar(R) button in the vehicle.
When the OnStar(R) advisor answers ask the advisor to verify the current location of the vehicle.
If the vehicle location is different than the location the OnStar(R) advisor gives contact GM
Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in
the diagnosis of a failed VCIM and, if appropriate, order a replacement part. Replacement parts are
usually shipped out within 24 hours, and a pre-paid return package label will be included for
returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part, you will avoid a non-return core charge.

A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year, warranty information and to provide GPS
signal recovery steps (under Dealer Action heading) to do PRIOR to determining if the VIU/VCIM
needs replacement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body
& Accessories).
If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be
made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin #
05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be
deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada.
If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this
bulletin may not be applicable.
Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the
Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is
internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface
Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is
unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or
the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes.
Customer Notification
OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service
department.
Dealer Action
Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement.
The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable,
simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS
date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the
GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time
stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and
may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset.
To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The
preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below.
Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the
applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse).
The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is
contained.
The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not
only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored
personalization information/settings in other modules as well.
After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will
require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time.
Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky.
First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R)
Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10
minutes. Continue to

monitor the Tech2(R) for the current time and date. REMINDER - Keep in mind that the time
displayed on the Tech2(R) is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the offset is based on the time
zones relationship to GMT.
If replacement of the VIU/VCIM is necessary, you MUST reconfigure the OnStar® system. Failure
to reconfigure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. OnStar® VIU,
Generations 2 and 3, will require the technician to press the blue OnStar® button to reconfigure the
vehicle with an OnStar® advisor.
OnStar(R) VCIM, Generations 4-7 will require the technician to reconfigure the vehicle with the use
of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications (pass thru only), along with the Tech2(R).
The configuration and set-up procedure is a two-step process that must be completed step-by-step
without interruption or delay in between each step. This procedure enables an automated activation
without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Following this procedure, it
may take up to 24 hours for all OnStar(R) services to be fully activated.
How to Order Parts
If the OnStar(R) GPS date/time stamp is non-recoverable and the unit needs to be replaced,
dealers in the U.S. should contact Autocraft Electronics select the catalog item that contains this
bulletin number. Canadian dealers should contact MASS Electronics.
Dealers DO NOT need to call the GM Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for replacement
approval. Autocraft Electronics and MASS Electronics will be responsible for verifying that the
subject vehicle is a candidate for a replacement VIU/VCIM.

(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager.
General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Emergency Contact Module: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 241
these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service

^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The
vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC U1000 and U1255
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module
receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number
of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating
parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that
parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical
parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is
set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with
it, the DTC will only be reported once.
The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star
configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the
following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them:

Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following DTCs do not have a current status:
^ B1327
^ B1328
^ U1300
^ U1301

DTC B2476 04: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Open Circuit
DTC B2476 59: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Stuck Button
DTC B2482 00: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Range/Performance
Circuit Short to Ground Open / High Resistance Short to Voltage Signal Performance
Circuit/System Description
The OnStar(R) button assembly consists of 3 buttons, Call/Answer, OnStar(R) Call Center, and
OnStar(R) Emergency.
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with
10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the
circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad
signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button
has been activated.
Conditions for Running the DTCs
The ignition is ON.
System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTCs
B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than
15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will
set these DTCs.
Action Taken When the DTCs Set
The OnStar(R) status LED turns red.
No calls can be placed.
The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly.
Conditions for Clearing the DTCs
The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

Disclaimer
Program Overview
Program Overview
To upgrade their vehicle to an OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system, all that a customer
must do is:
^ Take their vehicle to their dealer for the system upgrade.

Page 303
^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year,
non-refundable OnStar(R)
Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans:
^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada)
^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada)
^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription:
^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX,
and WV
^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

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.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-08-46-004B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
When servicing any of the above models and a battery cable is disconnected or power to the
OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) is interrupted for any reason the
following procedure must be performed to verify proper Global Positioning System (GPS) function.
Never swap OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Modules (VCIM) from other vehicles.
Transfer of OnStar(R) modules from other vehicles should not be done. Each OnStar(R) module
has a unique identification number. The VCIM has a specific Station Identification (STID). This
identification number is used by the National Cellular Telephone Network and OnStar(R) systems
and is stored in General Motors Vehicle History files by VIN.
After completing ALL repairs to the vehicle you must perform the following procedure:
Move the vehicle into an open area of the service lot.
Sit in the vehicle with the engine running and the radio turned on for five minutes.
Press the OnStar(R) button in the vehicle.
When the OnStar(R) advisor answers ask the advisor to verify the current location of the vehicle.
If the vehicle location is different than the location the OnStar(R) advisor gives contact GM
Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in
the diagnosis of a failed VCIM and, if appropriate, order a replacement part. Replacement parts are
usually shipped out within 24 hours, and a pre-paid return package label will be included for
returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part, you will avoid a non-return core charge.

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).

Door Module: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Door Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 387
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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.

NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Measuring Voltage Drop
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Door Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 388
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Door Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 389
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Door Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 390
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Door Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 391
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Door Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 392
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Door Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 404
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Door Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 405
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Door Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 408
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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 Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to
determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold
them between thumb and forefinger.
7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place.
- Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.
- Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or a provide good electrical connection.
Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except
tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special
requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire
using crimp and seal splice sleeves.
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.

3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original.
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC.
Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the
possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool. 7. Place the splice
sleeve in the crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9.
Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop
in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent
the wire from passing through the splice (3).
10. Close the handles of the J 38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until the proper
amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 9. Tape the diode to the

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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.

Bulletin Number 04-08-50-016B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that with repeated cycling of the memory seat between the "exit"
and one of the "presets", the position of the seat may "creep" forward or rearward out of expected
adjustment.
Cause
There is a coding deficiency in the software for the memory seat module.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the driver seat module with an updated software calibration. The
previous bulletin stated to use a service calibration that was released with TIS satellite data update
version 4.5. Feedback has proved that calibration to be ineffective in eliminating the memory seat
creep condition. An updated service calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version
6.5 available June 13, 2005. This new calibration has additional memory seat creep protection. As
always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
Important:
After programming is complete, move the seat all the way rearward and down, then bump the seat
slightly forward and up. This position will be just off the end of travel hard stops. Reset both
memory seat exit positions at this position. Having the seat set at just off the hard stops will aid in
reducing the creep condition.

MEMORY SEAT CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
The memory seat module uses position sensor inputs to establish soft stop locations for the
adjuster motors several millimeters ahead of the physical limits of the adjuster assembly. After
replacing a memory seat module or adjuster components, it may be necessary to reset the adjuster
motor soft stop locations. When the repair procedure has been completed, operate the seat
adjuster switch in every direction until the seat adjuster reaches its mechanical hard stop by
repeatedly pressing and releasing the switch as necessary.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the Air Bag Lamp is on and the Passenger Air Bag indicator
always reads OFF. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC B0092 set.
Cause
The cause of this condition may be a shorted Passenger Presence System (PPS) sensor wire. The
PPS sensor harness is located under the front passenger seat. This harness may be pinched
between the seat frame and the track/riser.
Correction
Locate the PPS sensor (1) and inspect the harness for proper routing. If the harness is pinched
between the seat frame and the track/riser, use the procedure listed below to repair wire(s).
1. Move the front passenger seat to the full rearward and full tilt up position.
2. Loosen the seat frame to track/riser nut and remove the harness.
3. Tighten the seat frame to track/riser nut.
4. Repair any damaged wires. Refer to Wiring Repairs in the Wiring Systems sub-section of the

1. Remove the blower fuses (Htr A/C & HVAC 1 fuses). 2. Lower the close-out panel enough to gain
access to the resistor module connector. 3. Disconnect the connector from the resistor module.
Note Connector replacement is required even if the connector was replaced on a previous service
repair.
4. Remove the tape from the wiring harness to expose the wiring.
5. Cut the wires back far enough from the connector to eliminate any melted insulation on the wire.
Note Use the old connector as a map for splicing the wires for the new connector. Be sure to use
the correct crimping tool from the terminal repair kit J 38125. Use only Duraseal splice sleeves.
Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical
connection.
6. Install the new connector. Use the yellow splice sleeves provided with the connector. 7. Install
the new blower motor resistor. 8. Reinstall the fuses. Test the blower motor to make sure all
speeds are functional. 9. Reinstall the hush panel/close-out panel.

Courtesy Transportation
The General Motors Courtesy Transportation program is intended to minimize customer
inconvenience when a vehicle requires a repair that is covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranties. The availability of courtesy transportation to customers whose vehicles are within the
warranty coverage period and involved in a product program is very important in maintaining
customer satisfaction. Dealers are to ensure that these customers understand that shuttle service
or some other form of courtesy transportation is available and will be provided at no charge.
Dealers should refer to the General Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual for Courtesy
Transportation guidelines.

with Air Conditioning (RPOs CJ2, CJ3)
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
^ Intermittent ticking/clicking noise from the instrument panel.
^ Recirculation mode does not work or Air Conditioning (A/C) system performance is poor during
high ambient temperatures.
^ Unable to control the driver side temperature.
^ Unable to control the passenger side temperature.
^ Unable to change the front system modes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) actuators
that may hunt for the correct commanded position. This cycling may cause a clicking or ticking
noise.
An overtravel of the HVAC system control doors may cause one or more of the concerns listed
above. If an overtravel occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set, and the door will go to
a preset default position. When a system door defaults, that door will stay at the default position
until the DTC is cleared. After the DTC is cleared, the door will operate properly until the overtravel
condition re-occurs.
The table lists the HVAC system doors and the DTC associated with it.
Correction
Technicians are to perform the normal diagnostic procedures in SI for these concerns. If
diagnostics show that the HVAC system door(s) travel below 5 counts (out of the lower range) or
above 250 counts (out of the upper range), then update the software calibrations in the HVAC
control module. The new calibrations were made available to dealerships as part of TIS2000
incremental satellite update version 2.5, which was broadcast to dealers in February 2006.

The new calibrations have been updated to compensate for the actuator overtravel condition, the
actuator hunting and the ticking/clicking noises. The new calibrations effectively eliminate the
codes listed above, the default position of the doors associated with the DTCs and opens up the
feedback position value. The new calibrations should not be used unless the vehicle has one or
more of the customer concerns listed above or a DTC listed above has been set. The new
calibrations will not correct any other DTC or NC system performance concern.

Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
^ Intermittent ticking/clicking noise from the instrument panel.
^ Recirculation mode does not work or Air Conditioning (A/C) system performance is poor during
high ambient temperatures.
^ Unable to control the driver side temperature.
^ Unable to control the passenger side temperature.
^ Unable to change the front system modes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) actuators
that may hunt for the correct commanded position. This cycling may cause a clicking or ticking
noise.
An overtravel of the HVAC system control doors may cause one or more of the concerns listed
above. If an overtravel occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set, and the door will go to
a preset default position. When a system door defaults, that door will stay at the default position
until the DTC is cleared. After the DTC is cleared, the door will operate properly until the overtravel
condition re-occurs.
The table lists the HVAC system doors and the DTC associated with it.
Correction
Technicians are to perform the normal diagnostic procedures in SI for these concerns. If
diagnostics show that the HVAC system door(s) travel below 5 counts (out of the lower range) or
above 250 counts (out of the upper range), then update the software calibrations in the HVAC
control module. The new calibrations were made available to dealerships as part of TIS2000
incremental satellite update version 2.5, which was broadcast to dealers in February 2006.

The new calibrations have been updated to compensate for the actuator overtravel condition, the
actuator hunting and the ticking/clicking noises. The new calibrations effectively eliminate the
codes listed above, the default position of the doors associated with the DTCs and opens up the
feedback position value. The new calibrations should not be used unless the vehicle has one or
more of the customer concerns listed above or a DTC listed above has been set. The new
calibrations will not correct any other DTC or NC system performance concern.

reddish/brown 6-way connector and a tag with the last four digits of the wiring harness part
number. Second design 2003-05 may have a white plastic connector with part number 5418 as
well.
^ The 1999 jumper is/was P/N 12171982 with a pink/purple tag identifier of 1982. This number has
been superseded to 15366255, with a pink/purple tag identifier of 6255.
^ The 2000 jumper harness is P/N 15366255. The pink/purple tag identifier is 6255.
^ The 2001-2002 jumper is P/N 15086884. The orange tag identifier is 6884.
^ The 2003-05 jumper is P/N 15085418. The orange tag identifier is 5418.
When transferring the brake controller with the wiring jumper attached from a 2001-2002 vehicle to
a 2003-05 vehicle, a change to the jumper harness connector must be performed.

The information shown is for the 1999-2002 wiring harnesses and for the 2003-05 wiring harness.
To modify a 12171982, 15366255 or 15086884 harness for use in a 2003-05 vehicle, switch the
wires in cavities "A" and "D".
To modify a 15085418 harness for use in a 1999-2002 vehicle (see model list at the front of this
bulletin for applicable models), switch the wires in cavities "A" and "D".
Warranty Information
When the correct wiring harness P/N is matched to the specific model year of the vehicle,
everything works properly.
Therefore, conversion of an incorrect wiring jumper to match the vehicle would not be considered a
warrantable repair.

Body Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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

Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 788
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 789
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 790
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 791
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control

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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.

Micro-Pack 100W Connectors
MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 802
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.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
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. Insure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 803
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 804
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 807
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The body control module (BCM) monitors several inputs in order to arm and disarm the CTD
system. The BCM controls the alarm function outputs. When the BCM detects an unauthorized
entry (any door opened), the BCM applies ground to the horn, the park lamp and the headlamp
relays. The BCM will send messages to the security telltale in the instrument cluster through the
Class 2 serial data link. The BCM has the following 8 basic modes for operating the CTD system.
The more detailed descriptions are below.
- Off state
- Idle state
- Disarmed state
- Ready-to-arm state
- Arm initiated state
- Arm delay state
- Armed state
- Alarm state
The BCM has the following 6 discrete inputs in order to monitor the CTD system:
- Ignition 1
- Driver door latch (door jamb) switch
- Passenger door latch (door jamb) switch
- Door lock relay
- Door key switch
- Passenger door unlock relay
The BCM applies ground once per second for approximately 2 minutes, or until a valid input to
disarm the system is received by the BCM.
The Body Control Module (BCM) contains the theft deterrent system logic. The BCM reads the
Passlock(TM) data from the Passlock(TM) sensor. If the Passlock(TM) data is correct, the BCM will
pass theft. The BCM will then transmit the fuel continue password to the VCM/PCM.
During the tamper mode the vehicle may start. The vehicle will then stall. If the BCM receives the
wrong Passlock(TM) data, the VTD will immediately go into the tamper mode. The tamper mode
will lock-out the vehicle fuel injectors for 10 minutes. The SECURITY indicator will flash while the
VTD is in the tamper mode.
If the Passlock(TM) sensor sends a correct password to the BCM when the ignition is in the ON
position, the BCM will send a fuel enable signal to the VCM/PCM. The VCM/PCM will not disable
the fuel due to any BCM message for the remainder of the ignition cycle.

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

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 845
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.

Caution
Customers should be informed if a hard part failure is observed in the engine, transmission,
transfer case and/or other driveline components, it is likely that powertrain components were
weakened to the point of premature failure, while subjected to the higher stresses from Aftermarket
Power-Up Devices. Failures associated with the installation of Aftermarket Power-Up Devices,
which have been verified, are not covered under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty. In the
majority of these cases, the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM) (in Canada, Warranty Manager)
should be contacted and the remaining portion of the powertrain portion of the New Vehicle
Warranty blocked. GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty
claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage.
General Motors Position On Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Important General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that,
when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
04-06-04-054A or newer - Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Important For further information on aftermarket power-up kits, refer to February 2006 Emerging
Issues Course Number 10206.02D. In Canada, information on aftermarket power-up kits was
covered in the April 2006 TAC TALK program.
Aftermarket power-up devices are non-approved by General Motors. These devices are usually
piggy-backed in the main engine harness or remain connected to the diagnostic connector to
upload the calibration to the ECM. Recent warranty reviews of returned engines show engine
breakdown or non-function due to power-up devices that are utilized for increased horsepower and
torque. The following information will assist technicians in identifying overpower engine breakdown
or non-function due to aftermarket power-up devices vs. non overpower engine breakdown or
non-function.
Non-GM parts can alter the design of the vehicle. GM dealers need to be aware of the quality of
parts being installed on vehicles. If failure occurs as a result of installation of sub-par parts,
warranty coverage may be denied. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A or newer Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Installed Power-Up Kit
Aftermarket power-up kits have become a very popular add on for performance-minded customers.
These devices can add horsepower and torque and can add additional stress to the engine. These
aftermarket calibrations take the Duramax(TM) powertrain outside of its design torque and
horsepower rating. They do this by altering air/fuel ratios and injector timing, resulting in excessive
cylinder pressure and temperature. When these calibrated parameters are altered, it will upset the
design balance and can lead to a reduction of engine life expectancy. Generally, in inspection of
Duramax(TM) engine failure due to power-up failures, two or more cylinders will be affected.
Installed Power-Up Kit
- Once installed, the calibration may mask itself with the factory original calibration ID and may
remain the same. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006F or newer - Information on
Identifying Non-GM Calibration Usage for LMM Duramax(TM) Diesel Engine.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 847
- A Tech 2(R) will not positively enable you to identify the use of a power-up device.
- Some companies that offer power-up devices claim increases of 150 or more horsepower and
300 or more lb/ft pounds of torque.
- A vehicle that is used to the power-up device potential 100% of the time will see earlier engine
wear and breakdown.
- A vehicle that takes advantage of additional power, but on a less frequent basis, may not see
premature engine wear and breakdown until later in the engine's life.
- A vehicle not pushed to its limits of the power-up device often may not encounter premature wear
and breakdown until after the engine is out of warranty.
Duramax(TM) Powertrain Horsepower / Torque Ratings
The following horsepower and torque increase over the past years required new internal
components to accommodate the increase.
- LB7 - 300 hp with 520 ft/lb of torque for model years 2000-2004
- LLY - 310 hp with 605 ft/lb of torque for model years 2004-2008
- LBZ - 360 hp with 650 ft/lb of torque for model year 2006-2008
- LMM - 365 hp with 660 ft/lb of torque for model year 2007-2009
LBZ Improvements
To reliably achieve an increase in 50 horsepower with 45 ft/lb torque, the Duramax (TM) diesel had
to be revised in many areas. A few of the revisions on the 2006 LBZ were:
- New pistons with a revised compression ratio.
- Wrist pins that are larger in diameter.
- Connecting rods with added material to increase the I section strength.
- Engine block and machining changes
- Cylinder heads
Duramax(TM) Life Expectancy
The Duramax(TM) 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel Engine is sold with a warranty of 100,000 miles/160,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) has been tested to survive upwards of 200,000 miles/320,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) powertrain is designed for reliability, peak horsepower and torque
within its design limits. When a customer installs a power-up device, it drastically reduces the
mileage ratings.
Important Cylinder Wall Spotting (commonly referred to leopard spots) is from the induction
hardening process of the top 1/3 of the cylinder wall. This is normal for the Duramax (TM) Diesel.
Identifying Fuel Related Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Aftermarket companies have developed a performance pressure relief fuel valve for Duramax(TM)
diesel engines. Refer to above graphic illustration. The performance pressure relief fuel valve
attaches to the fuel rail in place of the OEM valve and will not allow any fuel return to the tank,
giving 100% of the fuel to be available for additional engine performance. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may set the following DTCs:
- DTC P1093 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Low During Power Enrichment
- DTC P0087 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Too Low

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 848
Aftermarket companies have developed a replacement performance/economy fuel injector nozzle.
Refer to above illustration. The performance/economy fuel injector nozzles replace the OEM fuel
injector nozzles. The aftermarket companies claim increased horsepower, improved fuel
atomization, lower exhaust gas temperatures and increase fuel economy. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may cause internal engine damage to the pistons
and fuel injector nozzles.
Identifying Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
When premature wear and breakdown is encountered due to an aftermarket power-up device, it
has some very specific characteristics to the internal engine components. The following list will
assist in identifying these characteristics as you tear down the engine.
- Pistons will be cracked in the lip area, or a hole in the pistons.
- Pistons can also be melted on the lip of the combustion bowl, or the top of the pistons can be
melted.
- Crosshatch will be polished off the cylinder wall in the major thrust face of cylinder below ring belt
travel.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 849
- Piston pin bore will show signs of scoring, the wrist pins will be discolored, and can have oil
coking on them. The connecting rod bushing surface will have accelerated wear. The above
illustration shows a connecting rod bushing.
- Oil coking on the underside of the piston between the wrist pin bosses.
- Signs of bearing fretting will also be noticed on the connecting rod and main bearing caps. Refer
to the above illustration for fretting of main bearing cap 1 and back side of connection rod bearing
2.
- Excessive heat in engine compartment caused by overpower device. Refer to above illustration
(1).
Non Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
The following pictures show results of overheat, overspeed, low/no oil pressure or injector
breakdown and how they differ from aftermarket power-up device premature wear and breakdown.
Engine Overheat
Overheat can be caused by a loss of coolant or a general cooling system failure. Some of the
indicators of overheat are:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 850
- Melted pistons.
- Head gasket breakdown or non-function.
- Warped cylinder heads.
- Crankshaft and connecting rod discolored.
Engine Overspeed Causes
If an engine has been run faster than design capability (redline), and has caused damage as a
result, it may be a result of one of the following conditions:
- Leaking or failed turbocharger (TC) oil seals.
- Oil evident in the intake runners and compressor side of the TC.
- Starting fluid use or alternative fuel added to the engine such as ether.
Engine Overspeed Results
The following are indicators that an overspeed event took place:
- Valve train damage.
- Pushrods that are bent (4).
- Broken valve bridge buttons after cylinder head removal (2).
- Rocker arm tip damage (1).
- Dry or rusted cylinders from the use of ether, propane or nitrous oxide.
- Piston to valve contact.
- Cam gear pin shear.
Lack of Oil Pressure

Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown Due to Improper Function of Fuel Injector
A fuel injector may fracture a piston or melt a piston but the damage will be limited to that cylinder
only and all other pistons and cylinder walls are OK. In some cases hydraulic lock will occur on the
suspected cylinder with an over-fueling fuel injector. Hydraulic lock on the suspected cylinder will
cause a bent connecting rod. This can be verified with piston protrusion measurements.
2007-2010 RPO LMM Only Turbocharger DTC P003A Set
General Motors has identified a turbocharger (TC) failure mode involving Power-Up Kits that
causes soot leakage and DTC P003A to be set. The Power-Up Kits create an overtemperature
condition from the increased exhaust gas temperatures that results in a permanent and excessive
turbine housing distortion at the TC case halves.
1. A technician may observe one or more of the following conditions:
- DTC P003A being set as Current or in History.
- An unusual odor emanating from the TC due to an overtemperature condition.
- Soot leaking and accumulating at the V-band clamp that secures the TC case halves together.
- Limited or unresponsive travel when Commanding the TC Vane Pos. Ctrl. Solenoid ON and OFF
with a scan tool.
2. If DTC P003A is found as Current or in History, OR there is evidence of soot leakage (1) in the
area of the V-band clamp (1), then technicians
MUST verify if the engine control module (ECM) has a Power-Up Kit aftermarket calibration
installed or an aftermarket hardware device has been installed. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
08-06-04-006F or newer for the calibration verification information and procedures.
How to Handle a Suspect Engine Failure Due to a Power-Up Device
Dealers should not automatically decline warranty assistance on engine failures due to the fact that
a power-up device or modification is evident or suspected. The technician must identify that the
failure is due to a power-up device by teardown analysis and diagnosis of the engine components.
The following steps should be taken if an engine failure occurs and it is suspected that the
modification or addition of a power-up device maybe the cause of the engine failure. If unclear of
this process or direction feel free to contact your Fixed Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty
Manager) for further support.
1. The technician should use proper engine diagnostics to lead him/her to the failed engine
components. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List
should be followed and if it is determined that at least three of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check
List items match the engine component failures then it can be decided that the failure is not a
warrantable claim.
2. Engine failures that meet at least three criteria of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List are
considered failures that are not manufacturer's
defects in workmanship or materials.
3. The dealership should contact the PQC, open a case to review the findings and make the final
decision on warranty coverage. The Fixed
Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty Manager) should be notified of the PQC decision.

4. Denied claims should be documented as follows:
1. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List completed with the technicians detailed written
findings of the diagnosis on the repair order and
retained in the repair order file.
2. Photographs of the failed parts should be retained in the repair order file.
5. The customer should be advised that the failure of their engine was not due to a manufacturer's
defect in workmanship or materials and therefore
the warranty claim is denied on this failure.
Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List
Important Print and use this aftermarket power-up kit check list when performing an engine
disassembly investigation of overpower engine breakdown or non-function. Retain a copy of this
checklist and photographs of the failed parts in the repair order file.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Passlock Function
VEHICLE/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The VCM/PCM communicates with the BCM over the Class 2 serial data line. When the BCM
determines a no start condition, it sends a Class 2 serial data password to the VCM/PCM in order
to disable the fuel injection system. If the BCM receives the expected voltage from the
Passlock(TM) sensor, the BCM sends a class 2 serial data password to the VCM/PCM in order to
enable the fuel injection system. The VCM/PCM then allows the vehicle to start correctly. If the
Class 2 serial data password from the BCM to the VCM/PCM is not within the Vehicle Security
Status Message, the fuel injectors will shut OFF during a start attempt. The SECURITY telltale will
be illuminated for 10 minutes. If the VCM/PCM does not receive the same password from the BCM
as the last learned one, the vehicle will start and then stalls due to the Fuel Lockout.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Engine Control Module (ECM)
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) processes the various input information. The ECM sends the
necessary electrical responses to control fuel delivery.
The input information has an interrelation to more than one output. One failed input can affect more
than one systems operation.
Diagnostic System Check - Computers and Control Systems The Diagnostic System Check Computers and Control Systems is an organized approach to identify a problem caused by an
electronic engine control system malfunction.
This diagnostic check must be the starting point for any driveability complaint diagnosis. The
diagnostic directs the technician to the next logical step in diagnosing the complaint.
Use the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions list for a comparison after fulfilling the following items: Complete the Diagnostic System Check-Computers and Control Systems.
- Confirm that the on-board diagnostics are functioning properly.
- Confirm there are no diagnostic trouble codes.
The Engine Scan Tool Definitions are an average of display values recorded from normal operating
vehicles. The definitions intend to represent what a normal functioning system should display.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a scan tool that displays faulty data. Report the problem to the
manufacturer. Using a malfunctioning scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts
replacement. Use only the parameters listed in the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions for
diagnosis. When a scan tool reads other parameters, General Motors recommends not using the
values for use in diagnosis. For more description on the values and the use of the scan tool to
diagnose the ECM inputs, refer to the applicable diagnostic file. When all the values are within the
range illustrated in the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions, refer to Symptoms - Computers and
Control Systems.
Control Module Communications The control module system has a computer, the engine control
module (ECM), to control fuel delivery, timing, and some emission control systems. The control
module system monitors a number of engine and vehicle functions and controls the following
operations through the fuel injection control module (FICM): Fuel rail pressure
- Fuel injector
- Fuel injector pulse width
The diesel ECM, located in the engine compartment, is the control center of the control module
system. The engine control module used on the electronic fuel injected 6.6L diesel is referred to as
a ECM.
The ECM constantly looks at the information from various sensors, and controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance. The ECM performs the diagnostic function of the system. The ECM can
recognize operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL. Service Engine Soon, and store
one or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which identify the problem areas to aid the technician
in making repairs. See the specific diagnosis procedure for more information.
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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Passlock Function > Page 871
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.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment Any equipment installed on a vehicle after
leaving the factory that connects to the electrical or vacuum systems of the vehicle defines
aftermarket (Add-On) electrical and vacuum equipment. The vehicle design makes no allowances
for this type of equipment.
NOTE: -
Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on vacuum
equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
- Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at the
battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
The add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include any equipment which is not connected to
the electrical system of the vehicle such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step
in diagnosing any powertrain problem is to eliminate all of the aftermarket electrical equipment from
the vehicle. After this is done, if the problem still exists, diagnose the problem in the normal
manner.
Computers and Control Systems Information The driveability and emissions information describes
the function and operation of the control module. The emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and
repair of problems related to the system.
Engine Components, Wiring Diagrams, and Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables: The Component Locations
- The Wiring Diagrams
- The Control Module Terminal End View and Terminal Definitions

- The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables
The Component System includes the following items: The component and circuit description
- The On-vehicle service for each subsystem
- The Functional checks with the diagnostic tables
- How To Use Electrical Systems Diagnostic Information
The DTCs also contain the diagnostic support information containing the circuit or the system
information, and helpful diagnostic information.
Wiring Harness Service The control module harness electrically connects the control module to the
various solenoids, switches, and sensors in the vehicle engine compartment and passenger
compartment.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Passlock Function > Page 872
Replace the wire harnesses with the proper part number replacement. When splicing signal wires
into a harness, use the wiring that has high temperature insulation.
Consider the low amperage and voltage levels utilized in the powertrain control systems. Make the
best possible bond at all splices. Use rosin-core solder in these areas.
Molded-on connectors require complete replacement of the connector. Splice a new connector into
the harness. Replacement connectors and terminals are listed in Group 8.965 in the Standard
Parts Catalog.
Connectors and Terminals In order to prevent shorting between opposite terminals, use care when
probing a connector and when replacing terminals. Damage to the components could result.
Always use jumper wires between connectors for circuit checking.
Never probe through the Weather-Pack seals.
The J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit , or the equivalent, contains an assortment of flexible
connectors used in order to probe the terminals during the diagnosis. The fuse remover and the
BT-8616 Test Tool, or the equivalent, is used for removing a fuse and to adapt the fuse holder to a
meter for diagnosis.
Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight because oxidation or terminal misalignment are
hidden by the connectors. Merely wiggling a connector on a sensor or in the wiring harness may
temporarily correct the open circuit. Oxidized or loose connections may cause intermittent
problems.
Be certain the type of connector and terminal before making any connector or terminal repair.
Weather-Pack and Com-Pack III terminals look similar, but are serviced differently.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) 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.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
- To prevent internal ECM damage, the ignition switch must be OFF when disconnecting or
connecting power to the ECM.
- Remove any debris from the ECM connector surfaces before servicing the ECM. Inspect the ECM
module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the ECM. Ensure that the gaskets are
installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant intrusion into the ECM.
- The replacement ECM must programmed.
- It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programed
with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100%. If the replacement module
is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at
5000km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.
1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine
oil life.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 3. Disconnect the ECM electrical connectors (2).
4. Release the ECM cover retaining tabs. 5. Remove the ECM cover from the bracket. 6. Remove

IGNITION RELAY DIAGNOSIS
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The EDU/IGN 1 relay is normally an open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by
spring tension. When the ignition switch is turned to the Run or Start position, current will flow
through the relay coil. A wire connected to the other end of the relay coil completes the path to
ground through the engine control module (ECM). The electromagnetic field created by the relay
coil overcomes the spring tension and moves the armature, allowing the contacts to close. The
closed relay contacts allow current to flow from the battery to the following fuses: The ECM RPV fuse
- The EDU fuse
When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, the electromagnetic field collapses. This
action allows the spring tension to move the armature away from the relay contacts, which
interrupts current flow to the fuses.
If the EDU/IGN 1 relay fails to close, the engine will crank but will not run. The class 2
communications will be available with the use of a scan tool.
The EDU/IGN 1 relay table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged.

Inflatable Restraint Sensing And Diagnostic Module: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM)
The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is a microprocessor and the control center for the SIR
system. The SDM contains internal sensors along with several external sensors, if equipped,
mounted at various locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the SDM performs
calculations using the signals received from the internal and external sensors. The SDM compares
the results of the calculations to values stored in memory. When these calculations exceed the
stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate deployment loops to
deploy the air bags. The SDM records the SIR system status when a deployment occurs and
requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. The SDM performs
continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the
ignition is turned ON. If the SDM detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the SDM will
request the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. In the event that ignition 1 voltage is lost during
a collision, the SDM maintains a 23-volt loop reserve (23 VLR) for deployment of the air bags. It is
important to note, when disabling the SIR system for servicing or rescue operations to allow the 23
VLR to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute.

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.

Dealers are replacing the TCCM unnecessarily.
Dealers are replacing the TCCM with codes stored in HISTORY only. The TCCM does not have a
current fault condition when tested.
Parts reviewed at the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) have a 75% No Trouble Found (NTF) rate.
The only two legitimate reasons to replace the TCCM are:
^ Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C0550
^ NO Communication with a scan tool.
DTC C0550
This DTC indicates that the module has an internal fault and should be replaced.
No Communication
^ The no communication conditions referenced here are also caused by a module internal fault to a
point where the module physically will not talk. A technician cannot pull DTCs from the module
because it will not communicate. The module is electrically dead.
^ No communication is not to be confused with a U1026 code. This code tells the technician that
the module may still be functioning but is temporarily off line. This code may be set by the
Instrument Panel (IP) or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) against the TCCM. The technician
needs to figure out why the module went off line. These are typically caused by connection
concerns. There is no need to replace a TCCM for a U1026 DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
^ When diagnosing a transfer case electrical control system, ALWAYS check power and ground
wiring first.
^ Test the connections for intermittent or poor connections, complete plug insertion, bent pins,
pushed out terminals and water contamination.

Replacement > Page 947
Pay particular attention to the terminal connections at the module. Spread or open terminal
connections may create an intermittent contact. Do a pin drag test. Refer to the terminal testing
information in the table shown.
^ After repairs are complete, ALWAYS clear DTCs from the module prior to a system function test.
If codes are not cleared first, the system will not function after repair. The technician may
erroneously think that the system is still down and that further repairs are needed.
Warranty
Dealers who unnecessarily replace the TCCM that are found to have No Trouble Found (NTF) at
the WPC will be returned to the AVM (Area Service Manager), or the DSM (District Service
Manager) in Canada, through the Regional Feedback Process and may be charged back for the
repair through the WINS system.

Lock Cylinder Switch: Description and Operation
PASSLOCK(TM) SENSOR
The Passlock(TM) sensor is inside the ignition cylinder lock housing. The Passlock(TM) sensor
contains 2 hall effect sensors. The tamper hall effect sensor is on the top. The security hall effect
sensor is under the tamper hall effect sensor. Both of the hall effect sensors monitor the magnet of
the lock cylinder through an opening. The tamper hall effect sensor is physically placed on top of
the security hall effect sensor. This arrangement enables the tamper hall effect sensor to engage
first if an intruder attempts to bypass the Passlock(TM) sensor by placing a large magnet around
that area of the steering column. There is a tamper resistor inside the Passlock(TM) sensor in order
to help prevent tamper to the system. Passlock(TM) equipped vehicles have a selection of 10
different security resistors ranging from 0.5K ohms up to 13.6K ohms. Installing one of the security
resistors inside the Passlock(TM) sensor will generate a unique Passlock(TM) code. All 10
combinations of the Passlock(TM) sensor have the same part number. However, you cannot simply
replace the Passlock(TM) sensor and expect the system to operate properly. Always start by
performing the Diagnostic System Check first and following the instructions.

Pedal Positioning Switch: Description and Operation
Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration Description and Operation Calibration Criteria
The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor receives a low reference signal and a 5-volt reference
signal from the electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS). Whenever the brake pedal is applied, the
brake pedal position sensor applies a variable voltage signal to the EHPS through the BPP sensor
signal circuit. Brake pedal position sensor calibration must be performed after the brake pedal
position sensor or EHPS system have been serviced. The calibration procedure will set brake
pedal position sensor home value. This value is used by the EHPS to determine the brake pedal
position and the brake pedal rate. These two outputs are provided to the hybrid control module
(HCM) via GMLAN.
Calibration Procedure
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Important:
Make sure the brake pedal is not depressed before sending BPP sensor calibration command.
Navigate to the Special Functions screen on the scan tool and select BPP Sensor Calibration in
order to perform the brake pedal position sensor calibration.

All Vehicles with Steering Wheel Controls
This bulletin is being issued to provide a recommendation for vehicles with a customer concern of
the radio station tuning changing by itself, volume changing by itself, radio changing by itself, or
radio muting or going silent when driving and turning the steering wheel.
The switches on the right hand side of the steering wheel are easily pressed and may inadvertently
be pressed when turning the steering wheel.
These concerns may be affected by the location of the steering wheel controls.
Recommendation
Do Not Replace The Radio
1. Please determine that the switch controls on the steering wheel are functioning correctly.
2. Ask the customer if their hand was in close proximity to the steering wheel controls when the
condition happened. Explain to the customer that bumping the controls would have caused this
undesired action. Explain to the customer the proper use and function of the steering wheel
controls.

..............................................................................................................................................................
..................................................................................
Condition
Some customers may comment on ABS activation at low speeds, usually below 8 km/h (5 mph).
Upon investigation, the technician will find no DTCs set.
Cause
The cause of this condition may be an increased air gap between the wheel speed sensor and the
hub reluctor ring due to rust and debris built up on the sensor mounting surface.
Correction
Measure AC voltage and clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surfaces.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in the General
Information sub-section of the Service Manual. 2. Disconnect both the front wheel speed sensor
connectors at the frame and harness. 3. Place a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) across the terminals of
each wheel speed sensor connector. 4. Rotate the wheel clockwise approximately one revolution
per second. The minimum reading should be at least 350 ACmV's. If the reading is less
than 350 ACmV's, remove the wheel speed sensor. Refer to the applicable Wheel Speed Sensor
Replacement procedure in the ABS sub-section of the Service Manual.
5. Plug the wheel speed sensor bore in order to prevent debris from falling into the hub during
service. 6. Clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface using a wire brush, sand paper, emery
cloth, scotch brite, or other suitable material. Be sure to
thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor surface. There should be no rust or corrosion.
7. Check the sensor head to determine if it has been warped/distorted due to the corrosion build up
or other causes. Check the mounting surface on
the sensor head for flatness by placing it on the edge of a metal machinists scale or other suitable
straight edge to measure the flatness. Check the sensor for flatness in multiple (minimum 3)
positions/directions. If the sensor head is distorted, replace the sensor.
8. Apply (spray) two thin coats of the specified rust penetrating lubricant (corrosion inhibitor) to the

Condition
Some customers may comment on ABS activation at low speeds, usually below 8 km/h (5 mph).
Upon investigation, the technician will find no DTCs set.
Cause
The cause of this condition may be an increased air gap between the wheel speed sensor and the
hub reluctor ring due to rust and debris built up on the sensor mounting surface.
Correction
Measure AC voltage and clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surfaces.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in the General
Information sub-section of the Service Manual. 2. Disconnect both the front wheel speed sensor
connectors at the frame and harness. 3. Place a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) across the terminals of
each wheel speed sensor connector. 4. Rotate the wheel clockwise approximately one revolution
per second. The minimum reading should be at least 350 ACmV's. If the reading is less
than 350 ACmV's, remove the wheel speed sensor. Refer to the applicable Wheel Speed Sensor
Replacement procedure in the ABS sub-section of the Service Manual.
5. Plug the wheel speed sensor bore in order to prevent debris from falling into the hub during
service. 6. Clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface using a wire brush, sand paper, emery
cloth, scotch brite, or other suitable material. Be sure to
thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor surface. There should be no rust or corrosion.
7. Check the sensor head to determine if it has been warped/distorted due to the corrosion build up
or other causes. Check the mounting surface on
the sensor head for flatness by placing it on the edge of a metal machinists scale or other suitable
straight edge to measure the flatness. Check the sensor for flatness in multiple (minimum 3)
positions/directions. If the sensor head is distorted, replace the sensor.
8. Apply (spray) two thin coats of the specified rust penetrating lubricant (corrosion inhibitor) to the
complete sensor mounting surface on the
bearing hub. Allow to dry for 3-5 minutes between coats. Use ONLY Rust Penetrating Lubricant,
P/N 89022217 (in Canada, P/N 89022218).
9. When the corrosion inhibitor is dry to the touch (about 10 minutes), apply a thin layer of bearing
grease to the hub surface and sensor O-ring prior
to sensor installation. Use ONLY Wheel Bearing Lubricant, P/N 01051344 (in Canada, P/N

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2-wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and a low-reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0.5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the above conditions.
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

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.

Currently, technicians cannot accurately determine the air conditioning (A/C) low pressure switch
open/close pressure point by measuring pressure at the low side service port. This is because the
evaporator is between the low side service port and the A/C low pressure switch. Correlating
pressures measured at the low side service port to actual pressures at the A/C low pressure switch
port is difficult because of the multiple variables that impact pressure drop across the evaporator.
Providing a pressure range that would take into account all these variables would result in a
pressure range that would be too broad to be useful for diagnostic purposes. Kent Moore special
tool GE-47742 will allow technicians to monitor the actual pressures at which the A/C low pressure
switch opens and closes under actual operating conditions.
Technicians are to use the following steps to install and use Kent Moore special tool GE-47742 to
measure A/C low pressure switch opening and closing pressures:
1. Disconnect the wire harness from the A/C low pressure switch. 2. Remove the A/C low pressure
switch from the accumulator. 3. Install the A/C low pressure switch, using the threaded port with an
O-ring, onto special tool GE-47742. 4. Install special tool GE-47742, with the A/C low pressure
switch attached, onto the accumulator.
Important Removing the seal from the A/C low pressure switch wire harness connector is required.
Failure to remove the seal before plugging it into the switch will lead to misdiagnosis. The "plunger
effect" of plugging the connector with a seal into the A/C low pressure switch induces a pressure
on the back side of the switch. This pressure will skew the opening/closing characteristics of the
switch 34-69 kPa (5-10 psi) until the pressure bleeds off. The time required for the connection
induced pressure to bleed off can be 20 minutes or longer.
5. Remove the seal from the A/C low pressure switch wire harness connector. 6. Connect the wire
harness, without the seal, to the A/C low pressure switch. 7. Connect the low side service hose
from the ACR2000(R) or GE-48800 to the service port on special tool GE-47742. 8. Connect a
Tech2(R) to the vehicle. 9. Start the vehicle and maintain an engine speed of 1500 RPM. Set the
HVAC controls as follows:
- Set the A/C control switch to ON.
- Set the mode control switch to A/C and engage recirculation mode.
- Set the blower motor speed to LOW.
- Set the temperature control to full cold.
- Set the auxiliary blower motor speed to LOW. If equipped.
- Set the auxiliary temperature control to full cold. If equipped.
- The vehicle must be operating with no sun load (in the shade).
10. Use the Tech2(R) to determine the A/C low pressure switch status and the ACR2000(R) or
GE-48800 to determine the A/C low side pressure.
Simultaneously monitor the switch status and the pressure at which the A/C low pressure switch
opens and closes. The Tech2(R) will display switch status as "Normal" for Closed and "Low
Pressure" for Open. A properly operating switch should open between 138-172 kPa (20-25 psi)

Conditioning - Diagnose A/C Low Pressure Switch > Page 1198
and close between 275-317 kPa (40-46 psi).
11. Remove special tool GE-47742 after diagnosis is complete. 12. Install a new O-ring on the A/C
low pressure switch port on the accumulator. Lightly coat the new O-ring seal with mineral base
525 viscosity
refrigerant oil.
13. Install the A/C low pressure switch onto the accumulator.
Tighten Tighten the A/C low pressure switch to 6 Nm (44 lb in).
Important Remember to install the seal back onto the A/C low pressure switch wire harness
connector. Failure to replace the seal could result in terminal corrosion.
14. Reconnect the wire harness to the A/C low pressure switch.

Low Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could
damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing. The HVAC control module applies 5 volts
to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch will open when the A/C low side pressure
reaches 165-200 kPa (24-29 psi). This prevents the A/C compressor from operating. The switch
will then close when A/C low pressure side reaches 275-310 kPa (40-45 psi). This enables the A/C
compressor to turn back ON.
The low pressure switch uses refrigerant pressure to open and close a set of electrical contacts.
When A/C request is authorized, the switch is closed and shows normal status. During this state,
the switch will show 0 volts on the A/C low pressure sensor signal circuit. When A/C request is
denied due to a low pressure condition, the switch will be open. During this state, the switch will
show 5 volts on the A/C low pressure sensor signal circuit.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The engine control
module (ECM) sends the fuel level information via the class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster
(IPC). This information is used for the instrument panel (I/P) fuel gage and the low fuel warning
indicator, if applicable. The ECM also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position (APP) system along with the vehicle electronics and components is
used to calculate and control the amount of acceleration and deceleration via fuel injector control.
This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to a throttle
body.
The APP system includes, but is not limited to, the following components :
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor assembly
- The engine control module (ECM)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted
on the accelerator pedal control assembly. The sensor is made up of 3 individual sensors within
one housing. Three separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used in order
to interface the accelerator pedal sensor assembly with the ECM. Each sensor has a unique
functionality to determine pedal position. The ECM uses the APP sensor to determine the amount
of acceleration or deceleration desired by the person driving the vehicle. The APP sensor 1 voltage
should increase as the accelerator pedal is depressed, from below 1.0 volt at 0 pedal travel to
above 2 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 2 voltage should decrease from above 4
volts at 0 pedal travel to below 3.0 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 3 voltage should
decrease from above 3.8 volts at 0 percent pedal travel to below 3.3 volts at 100 percent pedal
travel.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The engine control
module (ECM) sends the fuel level information via the class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster
(IPC). This information is used for the instrument panel (I/P) fuel gage and the low fuel warning
indicator, if applicable. The ECM also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and additional model information and add
graphics. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-011B (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and

A/T - Slow/No Gear Engagement/Engine No Start > Page 1447
Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and additional model information and add
graphics. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-011B (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

Jun > 04 > A/T - Slow/No Gear Engagement/Engine No Start > Page 1457
Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008-2010 model years, update the tire size
information and reference the vehicle tire information label locations. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 01-03-10-010F (Section 03 - Suspension).
GM has developed and matched specific tires for your vehicle. The original equipment tires and
their respective size installed on the vehicle when it was new, were designed to meet General
Motors Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) system rating. GM's exclusive TPC
Spec system considers over a dozen critical specifications that impact the overall performance of
the vehicle.
A truck that has different tires and wheels from the original equipment designed for that vehicle will
have engine power/performance concerns, transmission shift concerns, speedometer registered
speed concerns, cruise control concerns and increased steering effort, especially during parking lot
maneuvers at slow speeds.
The engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM) use engine speed
(RPM) and vehicle speed sensor (VSS) inputs as operational parameters for engine torque,
transmission shifting, cruise control operation and speedometer indicated vehicle speed.
Calibrations for different tire/wheel combinations are not available.
Therefore, changing of tire and/or wheel size should not be undertaken by dealerships or truck
owners.
Proper diagnosis of engine, transmission, speedometer and cruise control concerns MUST begin
with an inspection of tire/wheel size.
Important A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the center pillar
(B-pillar) of the vehicle. With the driver's door open, you will find the label attached below the door
lock post (striker). The label shows the size of the original equipment tires and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures.A vehicle specific Certification/Tire label is found on the rear edge of
the driver's door. The label shows the size of the original equipment tires and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position (APP) system along with the vehicle electronics and components is
used to calculate and control the amount of acceleration and deceleration via fuel injector control.
This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to a throttle
body.
The APP system includes, but is not limited to, the following components :
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor assembly
- The engine control module (ECM)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted
on the accelerator pedal control assembly. The sensor is made up of 3 individual sensors within
one housing. Three separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used in order
to interface the accelerator pedal sensor assembly with the ECM. Each sensor has a unique
functionality to determine pedal position. The ECM uses the APP sensor to determine the amount
of acceleration or deceleration desired by the person driving the vehicle. The APP sensor 1 voltage
should increase as the accelerator pedal is depressed, from below 1.0 volt at 0 pedal travel to
above 2 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 2 voltage should decrease from above 4
volts at 0 pedal travel to below 3.0 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 3 voltage should
decrease from above 3.8 volts at 0 percent pedal travel to below 3.3 volts at 100 percent pedal
travel.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Front End Sensors
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT END SENSORS
The front end sensors are equipped on vehicles to supplement the SIR system performance. The
front end sensors are electronic and are not part of the deployment loops, but instead provide
inputs to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The front end sensors can assist in
determining the severity of some frontal collisions. The SDM uses the input from the front end
sensors to assist in determining the severity of a frontal collision further supporting air bag
deployment. If the SDM determines a deployment is warranted, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the deployment loops deploying the frontal air bags.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Side Impact Sensor (SIS) (Right) With RPO HP2
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (SIS) (RIGHT) WITH RPO HP2
The right side impact sensor (SIS) contains a sensing device which monitors vehicle acceleration
and velocity changes to detect side collisions that are severe enough to warrant disabling the
42-volt system. The SIS is not part of the deployment loop, but instead provides an input to the
sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). When the SDM receives a signal from the SIS that a
collision has occurred, the SDM communicates this over the vehicles communication bus. The
module responsible for the 42-volt system receives this message and disables the 42-volt system.

Impact Sensor: Service and Repair Sensor Replacement Guidelines
SENSOR REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES
The SIR 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. For example, a moderate collision where the front of the vehicle
impacts a tree. If the vehicle has an SIR sensor mounted forward of the radiator, it must be
replaced.
- Replace the sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed.
- Replace the sensor even if it 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 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.

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.

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.

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Page 1670
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Measuring Voltage Drop
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points.

and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 1671
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors
and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 1672
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors
and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 1673
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 1674
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))

and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 1675
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 34142-B 12 V Unpowered Test Lamp
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage.
The J 34142-B 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 1 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 1 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
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
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.
Push to Seat Connectors
PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors
and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 1687
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))

Page 1688
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs
SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors
and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 1691
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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 Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to
determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold
them between thumb and forefinger.
7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place.
- Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.
- Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip.

12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the
existing wires.
13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another
harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to
cover the first piece of tape.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or a provide good electrical connection.
Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except
tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special
requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire
using crimp and seal splice sleeves.
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.

and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 1695
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original.
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC.
Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the
possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool. 7. Place the splice
sleeve in the crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9.
Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop
in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent
the wire from passing through the splice (3).
10. Close the handles of the J 38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until the proper
amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.

IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with 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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 10-03-16-001
Date: July 19, 2010
Subject: TPMS System Service and Re-Learning Sensor IDs
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H3 2010 and Prior Saturn Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with Wheel-Mounted
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 add model years and additional model information and add
graphics. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-011B (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors

Customer Interest: > 02-07-30-011C > Jun > 04 > A/T - Slow/No Gear Engagement/Engine No Start > Page 1728
Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

^ "7" (shifter should be in the Reverse position)
^ "5" (shifter should be in the Drive position)
^ "3" (shifter should be in the Third gear position)
^ "2" (shifter should be in the Second gear position)
^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

This bulletin is being revised to add model years and additional model information and add
graphics. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-011B (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

^ "7" (shifter should be in the Reverse position)
^ "5" (shifter should be in the Drive position)
^ "3" (shifter should be in the Third gear position)
^ "2" (shifter should be in the Second gear position)
^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

9. Remove and discard the neutral assurance bracket.
Important:
Installation of the front shield and rear shields are important. Without proper installation of the
shield, a return repair is probable. Follow all directions as listed on the installation instructions
sheet included in the Switch kit, P/N 29540479.
10. Fit the new shield onto the PNP switch so that it fits securely against the switch. Make sure this
is done before reinstalling the shift lever.
11. Reinstall the shift lever. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, install the nut on
the end of the selector shaft.
Tighten.
Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 lb ft).
12. Connect the wiring harness connectors to the PNP switch.
13. Attach the selector cable to the lever. Check and adjust if needed.
14. Go back to step 4 of the Diagnostics and insure the Tech 2 readings match the shift lever
positions.
Important:
Clear all DTCs before returning the vehicle to the customer.
15. Return the vehicle to the customer.

This bulletin is being revised to update the correction information. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-08-50-016B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that with repeated cycling of the memory seat between the "exit"
and one of the "presets", the position of the seat may "creep" forward or rearward out of expected
adjustment.
Cause
There is a coding deficiency in the software for the memory seat module.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the driver seat module with an updated software calibration. The
previous bulletin stated to use a service calibration that was released with TIS satellite data update
version 4.5. Feedback has proved that calibration to be ineffective in eliminating the memory seat
creep condition. An updated service calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version
6.5 available June 13, 2005. This new calibration has additional memory seat creep protection. As
always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
Important:
After programming is complete, move the seat all the way rearward and down, then bump the seat
slightly forward and up. This position will be just off the end of travel hard stops. Reset both
memory seat exit positions at this position. Having the seat set at just off the hard stops will aid in
reducing the creep condition.

This bulletin is being revised to update the Model and Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 05-04-21-003B (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on intermittent illumination of the Service 4WD light. Upon
investigation, the technician may find DTC C0374 set. The customer may also comment on
intermittent erratic operation of the 4WD or AWD system after driving through rain/snow or simply
going through a car wash.
Cause
The speed sensor signal may have become corrupted. Possible openings in the speed sensor wire
insulation (twisted pairs) can allow water intrusion. Also wire connections contaminated by water
may result in short circuits and erroneous speed sensor readings. This most often occurs on the
rear speed sensor circuit.
Correction
Inspect the wiring harness to the transfer case speed sensors. On Rainier, TrailBlazer, Envoy and
9-7X models, fabricate a replacement speed sensor harness between the C101 connector and the
speed sensors. Completely inspect and test all wiring. Refer to Speed Signal Front Axle Actuator
and Indicators schematic in SI.
Replace the affected twisted pairs. Do not over-twist the two wires in the replacement harness.
Wires should be twisted at a rate of 9 revolutions per foot. Use service connector pack, P/N
88987993 at the speed sensor end and terminal, P/N 15326267, at C101.
Terminal testing tools and service terminals can be found in Terminal Repair Kit J 38125.
Terminals are available from SPX/Kent-Moore.
The smaller transfer case harness splices into the larger chassis harness a few inches in front of
the crossmember. The chassis harness routes along the left side of the frame under the driver door
area. Use nylon tie straps to secure the fabricated harness to the main chassis harness between
the transfer case and C101.
On the full-size pickup and full-size utility models, replace the 2.2 m (88 in) pigtail harness that runs
from the C151 connector under the hood to the transfer case. Use either harness P/N 15832722 or
15224663 depending on vehicle equipment. Refer to Propshaft Speed Sensors Front Axle Actuator
and Transfer Case Shift Control Switch schematic in SI.
Important:
Technicians should verify the integrity of the splice joints after the repair. All splice joints and
connections should seal properly against water or a repeat condition can occur.

Technicians may find that when the transfer case speed sensor wire harness connector is
removed, the connector lock flexes/bends and does not return to the original position. The transfer
case speed sensor wire harness connector then has no locking device. On older vehicles, the
plastic connector retainer becomes brittle and the clip may break as soon as it is flexed. In the past,
the only service fix was to install a wire harness connector service pack, P/N 88987183. This repair
procedure involved splicing a new service connector with an integral connector lock. This
connector service kit is of the same design and was still prone to failure over time.
A new connector service repair kit is now available, P/N 15306187, that is an updated design. This
new kit should be used whenever the speed sensor wire harness connector requires replacement.

Power Window Switch: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Windows and Glass > Power Window
Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1868
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Measuring Voltage Drop
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Windows and Glass > Power Window
Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1869
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Windows and Glass > Power Window
Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1870
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Windows and Glass > Power Window
Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1871
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Windows and Glass > Power Window
Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1872
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Windows and Glass > Power Window
Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1873
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Windows and Glass > Power Window
Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1885
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Windows and Glass > Power Window
Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1886
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Windows and Glass > Power Window
Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1889
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

- 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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to
determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold
them between thumb and forefinger.
7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place.
- Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.
- Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip.

8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool
closes.
Ensure that no strands of wire are cut.
10. Crimp the splice on each end (2).
11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for the solder equipment.

Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1892
12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the
existing wires.
13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another
harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to
cover the first piece of tape.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or a provide good electrical connection.
Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except
tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special
requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire
using crimp and seal splice sleeves.
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.

Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1893
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original.
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC.
Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the
possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool. 7. Place the splice
sleeve in the crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9.
Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop
in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent
the wire from passing through the splice (3).
10. Close the handles of the J 38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until the proper
amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.

Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1894
IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with 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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications
Alignment: Technical Service Bulletins Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications
WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION
Bulletin No.: 05-03-07-009C
Date: December 09, 2010
Subject: Wheel Alignment Specifications, Requirements and Recommendations for GM Vehicles
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
used whenever a wheel alignment is performed.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 1923
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.

Figure 3: Tire Shoulder View Example 2 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Figure 4: Detail Side View of Tire Shoulder Area - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
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.
Important
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 1925
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

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

Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 1927
Important When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear
wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front wheel alignment angles.
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.
If necessary, adjust the wheel alignment to vehicle specification and record the before and after
measurements. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI.
Important Technicians must refer to SI for the correct wheel alignment specifications. SI is the only
source of GM wheel alignment specifications that is kept up-to-date throughout the year.

Alignment: Description and Operation
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 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.
Toe Description
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1936
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 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
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.
Lead/Pull Description
Definition: 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/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^
Tire construction
^ Wheel alignment
^ Unbalanced steering gear
The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1937
Memory Steer Description
Memory steer is when the vehicle wants to lead or pull in the direction the driver previously turned
the vehicle. Additionally, after turning in the opposite direction, the vehicle will want to lead or pull in
that direction.
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
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.

Inspection Procedure
Alignment: Service and Repair Trim Height Inspection Procedure
Trim Height Inspection Procedure
Trim Height Measurements
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause bottoming out 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: 1. Make sure the vehicle is on a level
surface, such as a alignment rack. 2. Remove the alignment rack floating pins. 3. Set the tire
pressures to the pressure shown on the certification label. 4. Check the fuel level. Add additional
weight if necessary to simulate a full tank. 5. Make sure the rear compartment is empty except for
the spare tire. 6. Close the doors and hood.
Z Height Measurement
Important: K models only the Z height must be adjusted before 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 a adjusting arm in order to adjust the Z height
dimension. Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of
suspension components.
1. Important:
All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground. Cross vehicle Z heights should be within 12
mm (0.47 inch) to be considered correct. Place hand on the front bumper and jounce the front of
the vehicle. Make sure that there is at least 38 mm (1.5 inch) of movement while jouncing.
2. Allow the vehicle to settle into position.
3. Measure from the pivot bolt center line (2) down to the lower corner (5) of the steering knuckle
(1) in order to obtain the Z height measurement
(4).
4. Repeat the jouncing operation 2 more times for a total of 3 times. 5. Use the highest and the
lowest measurements to calculate the average height. 6. The true Z height dimension number is
the average of the highest and the lowest measurements. Refer to Trim Height Specifications.
Z Height Adjustment
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Trim Height
Inspection Procedure > Page 1940
1. For vehicles equipped with a torsion bar suspension turn the bolt (1) that contacts the torsion
arm clockwise to raise the and counterclockwise to
lower the height adjustment. One revolution of the bolt (1) into the nut increases the Z height by
approximately 6.0 mm (0.2 inch).
2. For vehicles without torsion bars, replace damaged or worn components as necessary.
D Height Measurement
Important: There are no specified trim heights specifications on leaf spring vehicles because it is
not an adjustable feature. The height of the suspension will depend on the option content of the
vehicle as well as the aftermarket equipment that is placed on the vehicle. The measurements are
used for comparison only and should be within 15 mm with the vehicle at curb and no accessories.
1. With the vehicle on a flat surface, lift upward on the rear bumper 38 mm (1.5 inch). 2. Allow the
vehicle to settle into position.
3. Important:
Measure the metal to metal contact points of the rear axle to the frame on the inboard side of the
leaf springs. Measure the D height by measuring the distance between the bumper bracket and the
top of the rear axle tube.
4. Repeat the jouncing operation 2 more times for a total of 3 times. 5. Use the highest and lowest
measurements to calculate the average height. 6. The true D height dimension number is the
average of the highest and the lowest measurements. 7. If these measurements are out of
specifications, inspect for the following conditions:
^ Sagging front suspension Refer to Front Coil Springs Replacement or Torsion Bar Replacement
in Front Suspension.
^ Sagging rear leaf/coil springs Refer to Leaf Spring Replacement in Rear Suspension.
^ Worn rear suspension components, such as leaf spring bushings Refer to Spring Bushing
Replacement in Rear Suspension.
^ Improper tire inflation Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure Specifications.
^ Improper weight distribution
^ Collision damage

Learn Wheel Alignment
After replacement of the handwheel position sensor, rear wheel position sensor, or rear wheel
steering control module it is necessary to perform the learn wheel alignment procedure.
Alignment Procedure
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
vehicles 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 in Tires and Wheels in
order to determine if the vehicle has a tire lead problem.
Before performing any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, perform the following inspections and
adjustments in order to ensure correct alignment readings: ^
Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear.
^ Inspect the runout of the wheels and the tires.
^ Inspect the wheel bearings for backlash and excessive play.
^ Inspect the ball joints and 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
in Power Steering System.
^ Inspect the struts/shock absorbers for wear, leaks, and any noticeable noises. Refer to Struts or
Shock Absorbers On-Vehicle Testing in Suspension General Diagnosis.
^ Inspect the vehicle trim height. Refer to Trim Height Inspection Procedure in Suspension General
Diagnosis.
^ 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.
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.
4. Important:
When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear wheel
alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front alignment angles. Adjust alignment angles to
vehicle specification, if necessary. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications then perform the learn
alignment procedure.
Learn Wheel Alignment Procedure
1. Turn ignition to ON position, with the engine ON. 2. Install the scan tool. 3. Center the steering
wheel. 4. Lift the rear of the vehicle off the ground ensuring the rear wheels are centered. 5. Go to
the Learn Alignment menu choice in the scan tool. Follow the prompts on the scan tool.
Important: When prompted by the scan tool you must turn the steering wheel a full 90 degrees to
the left and a full 90 degrees to the right and then to center and hold. If this step is not done
properly then it is possible to cause a false DTC for the steering wheel position sensor.
6. Press the continue button. 7. Use the scan tool to clear all rear wheel steering DTCs.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

Subject: Information on the Proper Air Filter for the Duramax(R) Diesel
Models: 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2001-2005 GMC Sierra
with 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2 - RPOs LB7, LLY)
The Duramax(R) air filter, P/N 25332443, is specific to the diesel engine due to the operating
characteristics of a turbo charged diesel engine. The turbo allows for a much greater air volume
rate than a normal aspirated engine. The Duramax(R) diesel air filter is reinforced to eliminate
damage from the increased airflow of the turbo. The reinforcement is visually identified by the five
ribs of epoxy that lies across the pleats of the clean side of the filter.
If the correct air filter is not used, the filter may collapse or be torn in a Duramax(R) application.
This damage will allow dust and dirt to be ingested into the turbo and engine causing serious
damage. This damage is usually identified at the turbo vanes as well as extreme wear in the
cylinder walls of the engine.
There is evidence of gasoline engine air filters being used in the Duaramax(R) application. The 8.1
gas air filter, P/N 25313349, will fit into the air box of the Duramax(R) diesel; however, it does not
have the required reinforcement of the diesel air filter. The 8.1 liter gas engine air filter should
never be used in a Duramax(R) diesel engine.

^ Improved fuel system protection with some premium diesel and B5 biodiesel blends
^ Equivalent coarse water droplet removal efficiency of previous design
^ Greatly improved removal of emulsified water - a major contributor to fuel system issues
Proper fuel filter servicing and the use of clean diesel fuel that is free of water or contaminants are
critical for the longevity of fuel system components of a modern direct injected diesel engine.
Adherence to the fuel filter change interval will help to ensure that the Duramax fuel system will be
protected from contaminants and that the engine will continue to operate as designed. Purchasing
fuel from a high volume fuel retailer increases the chances that the fuel is fresh and of good quality.

Fuel Filter: Service and Repair Fuel System Priming
FUEL SYSTEM PRIMING
IMPORTANT: In order for the DURAMAX diesel engine fuel system to work properly, the fuel lines
must be full of fuel and contain no air. If air gets into the fuel lines, it will be necessary to prime the
fuel system to eliminate the air before operating the vehicle. Air could have entered to system in
one of the following ways:
- The vehicle ran out of fuel.
- The filter was removed for service or replacement.
- The fuel lines were removed or disconnected for servicing.
- The fuel filter water drain cock was opened while the engine was running.
If one or more of the above occurred, air has entered the fuel system and you will need to prime
the system prior to operating the vehicle.
1. Prior to priming the engine, ensure that the following is complete:
- There is fuel in the fuel tank.
- The fuel filter has been installed and properly tightened.
- The fuel lines are properly connected.
- The fuel filter is cool to the touch.
- Any dirt or debris is removed from the fuel filter head and vent valve.
2. Open the vent valve by turning the screw counterclockwise several full turns.

3. Operate the priming pump until a small amount of fuel seeps from the vent valve. allow the pump
to return upwards between pumps. When fuel is
present, the filter is full of fuel and the system should be primed.
4. Close the vent valve. 5. Clean any fuel which accumulated on the fuel filter. 6. Start the engine
and allow it to idle for a few minutes. 7. Check the filter for leaks.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and RPOs. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 05-06-01-018A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Important It should be noted that a chirp type noise on engine shutdown is normal for a diesel
engine due to higher engine compression and the rapid stopping of the crankshaft. No repairs
should be attempted for this condition.
Some customers may comment on an accessory drive belt chirp, squeal, or squeak type noise at
idle, especially on a cold start. The noise may be reduced or go away after the engine warms up.
Cause
Some 2004/2005 Silverado or Sierra trucks, with a 6.6L LLY engine produced before June, 2004,
may have an A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting bracket and power steering rear
mounting bracket that are machined slightly out of specification, causing a misaligned power
steering pump.
If the power steering pump is misaligned, it will force the accessory drive belt to run farther inboard
on the fan pulley. When the belt leaves the fan pulley, the belt will not align properly to the
crankshaft pulley grooves and create a chirp or squeak type noise at the point of interference.
Vehicles built after June 2004 will already have the new A/C compressor/power steering pump
mounting bracket installed, but still may exhibit belt noise caused by the power steering pump rear
mounting bracket.
Correction
Vehicles built prior to June 2004, replace the A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting
bracket.
Vehicles built after June 2004, enlarge the rear power steering pump bracket bolt holes.
1. Follow the published service information (SI) diagnostics for drive belt chirping. The diagnostic
chart for the drive belt chirping will ask to inspect
for a misaligned accessory drive pulley.
Important Remove the top section of the radiator shroud and TCM/cover to gain access to check
alignment and measure the power steering pulley on the power steering pump shaft.
2. Verify that the power steering pulley is properly pressed onto the power steering pump shaft.
Refer to SI for the power steering pulley
replacement. If the pulley needs to be realigned on the power steering pump shaft, follow the
published SI procedures for the power steering pulley replacement.

Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

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.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

INFORMATION
Subject: Information on Serpentine Belt Wear
Models: 2004 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks 2003-2004 and Prior HUMMER H2
All current GM vehicles designed and manufactured in North America were assembled with
serpentine belts that are made with an EPDM material and should last the life of the vehicle. It is
extremely rare to observe any cracks in EPDM belts and it is not expected that they will require
maintenance before 10 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi) of use.
Older style belts, which were manufactured with a chloroprene compound, may exhibit cracks
depending on age. However, the onset of cracking typically signals that the belt is only about
halfway through its usable life.
A good rule of thumb for chloroprene-based belts is that if cracks are observed 3 mm (1/8 in) apart,
ALL AROUND THE BELT, the belt may be reaching the end of its serviceable life and should be
considered a candidate for changing. Small cracks spaced at greater intervals should not be
considered as indicative that the belt needs changing.
Any belt that exhibits chunking should be replaced.

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. There also may be a V-belt style belt used
to drive certain accessory drive components. 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.

Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The chirping noise may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt or the accessory drive
pulleys. In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to spray a small amount
of water onto the drive belt. If spraying water onto the drive belt duplicates the symptom, cleaning
the accessory belt pulleys may be the most probable solution.
A loose or improper installation of a body or suspension component, or other item(s) on the vehicle
may also cause the chirping noise.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Drive Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Drive Belt
Chirping > Page 2139
Steps 3(continued) - 15
The numbers below refer to the steps in the diagnostic table. 2. The chirping 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. Remove the drive belt and operate the engine for a
few seconds, this will verify if the chirping noise is
related to the drive belt or not. With the drive belt removed the cooling fan will not operate and the
engine may overheat. Also Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set when the engine is operated
with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect the drive belt for signs of pilling. Pilling is the small balls, pills or strings in the drive belt
grooves caused by the accumulation of rubber
dust.
6. Misalignment of the accessory drive pulleys may be caused from improper mounting or incorrect
installation of an accessory drive component, or
the pulley may be bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using
a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found, refer to
that accessory drive component for the proper removal and installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a incorrect bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. 12. Inspection of the accessory drive pulleys should include inspecting for
bends, dents, or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive
belt from seating properly in the pulley grooves, or on the smooth surface of the pulley when the
back side of the drive belt is used to drive the pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Excessive Wear
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by incorrect installation or the incorrect drive belt
for the application.
Minor misalignment of the accessory drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will
probably cause the drive belt to make a noise or fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the accessory drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear and may also
make the drive belt fall off.
Test Description
Steps 1 - 6
The numbers below refer to the steps in the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify the drive
belt is correctly installed on all of the accessory drive pulleys. Wear on the drive belt may be
caused by
mis-positioning the drive belt by one groove on a pulleys.
3. 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 the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not contacting any part of the engine or body while the
engine is operating. There should be sufficient
clearance when the accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt should not come in
contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off
Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the accessory drive belt pulleys, this may be caused by a pulley
misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied or released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off. Verify that the accessory drive components are operating properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not maintain the proper tension
on the drive belt.

Steps 3 - 12
The numbers below refer to the steps in 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.
Inspect the drive
belt for cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the accessory drive pulleys may be caused from improper mounting or incorrect
installation of an accessory drive component, or
the pulley may be bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using
a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found, refer to
that accessory drive component for the proper removal and installation procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspection of the accessory drive pulleys should include inspecting for bends, dents, or other
damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive
belt from seating properly in the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the drive belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will also cause the drive belt to fall
off. 7. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a incorrect bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. Missing, loose, or incorrect
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the accessory drive brackets moving under load.
Over tightening the fasteners may cause misalignment of the accessory component brackets.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling
Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to
make rumbling noise.
The drive belt may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt
may be the only repair for the symptom.
If, after replacing the drive belt and completing the diagnostic table, the rumbling is only heard with
the drive belt installed, there might be an accessory drive component failure. Varying the load on
the accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the rumbling
noise.

The numbers below refer to the steps 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 the drive belt is causing the rumbling. Rumbling may be confused with an
internal engine noise due to the similarity in the
description. Operate the engine for a few seconds, this will verify if the rumbling noise is related to
the drive belt or not. With the drive belt removed the cooling fan will not operate and the engine
may overheat. Also Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set when the engine is operated with
the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect the drive belt to ensure that the drive belt is not the cause of 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, this may be seen at the edge
of the belt or felt as a lump in the belt.
5. Small amounts of pilling is a normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe, the
drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper
operation.

Drive Belt Chirping
Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The chirping noise may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt or the accessory drive
pulleys. In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to spray a small amount
of water onto the drive belt. If spraying water onto the drive belt duplicates the symptom, cleaning
the accessory belt pulleys may be the most probable solution.

Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by incorrect installation or the incorrect drive belt
for the application.
Minor misalignment of the accessory drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will
probably cause the drive belt to make a noise or fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the accessory drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear and may also
make the drive belt fall off.
Test Description
Steps 1 - 6
The numbers below refer to the steps in the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify the drive
belt is correctly installed on all of the accessory drive pulleys. Wear on the drive belt may be
caused by
mis-positioning the drive belt by one groove on a pulleys.
3. 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 the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not contacting any part of the engine or body while the
engine is operating. There should be sufficient
clearance when the accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt should not come in
contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.
Drive Belt Falls Off
Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the accessory drive belt pulleys, this may be caused by a pulley
misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied or released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off. Verify that the accessory drive components are operating properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not maintain the proper tension
on the drive belt.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

Subject: Information on the Proper Air Filter for the Duramax(R) Diesel
Models: 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2001-2005 GMC Sierra
with 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2 - RPOs LB7, LLY)
The Duramax(R) air filter, P/N 25332443, is specific to the diesel engine due to the operating
characteristics of a turbo charged diesel engine. The turbo allows for a much greater air volume
rate than a normal aspirated engine. The Duramax(R) diesel air filter is reinforced to eliminate
damage from the increased airflow of the turbo. The reinforcement is visually identified by the five
ribs of epoxy that lies across the pleats of the clean side of the filter.
If the correct air filter is not used, the filter may collapse or be torn in a Duramax(R) application.
This damage will allow dust and dirt to be ingested into the turbo and engine causing serious
damage. This damage is usually identified at the turbo vanes as well as extreme wear in the
cylinder walls of the engine.
There is evidence of gasoline engine air filters being used in the Duaramax(R) application. The 8.1
gas air filter, P/N 25313349, will fit into the air box of the Duramax(R) diesel; however, it does not
have the required reinforcement of the diesel air filter. The 8.1 liter gas engine air filter should
never be used in a Duramax(R) diesel engine.

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.

This bulletin is being revised to provide additional information to the field on fuel filter applications
for the Duramax diesel engine. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-070A (Section
06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important:
It is acceptable to use diesel fuel containing up to 5% biodiesel (B5). Higher concentration (i.e.,
greater than B5) biodiesel-containing fuels or the use of unmodified bio-oils blended into diesel fuel
at any concentration is not recommended and could damage the fuel system and engine. Such
damage would not be covered by your warranty.
A revised fuel filter is released that will service all 2001-2009 Chevrolet and GMC C/K models and
2003-2009 Chevrolet and GMC C4500/5500 Series vehicles with the 6.6L Duramax(TM) Diesel.
The new coalescer filter provides the following benefits / improvements over the existing dual pleat
design:
^ 150-200% increase in service life, depending on contaminant type

^ Improved fuel system protection with some premium diesel and B5 biodiesel blends
^ Equivalent coarse water droplet removal efficiency of previous design
^ Greatly improved removal of emulsified water - a major contributor to fuel system issues
Proper fuel filter servicing and the use of clean diesel fuel that is free of water or contaminants are
critical for the longevity of fuel system components of a modern direct injected diesel engine.
Adherence to the fuel filter change interval will help to ensure that the Duramax fuel system will be
protected from contaminants and that the engine will continue to operate as designed. Purchasing
fuel from a high volume fuel retailer increases the chances that the fuel is fresh and of good quality.

Fuel Filter: Service and Repair Fuel System Priming
FUEL SYSTEM PRIMING
IMPORTANT: In order for the DURAMAX diesel engine fuel system to work properly, the fuel lines
must be full of fuel and contain no air. If air gets into the fuel lines, it will be necessary to prime the
fuel system to eliminate the air before operating the vehicle. Air could have entered to system in
one of the following ways:
- The vehicle ran out of fuel.
- The filter was removed for service or replacement.
- The fuel lines were removed or disconnected for servicing.
- The fuel filter water drain cock was opened while the engine was running.
If one or more of the above occurred, air has entered the fuel system and you will need to prime
the system prior to operating the vehicle.
1. Prior to priming the engine, ensure that the following is complete:
- There is fuel in the fuel tank.
- The fuel filter has been installed and properly tightened.
- The fuel lines are properly connected.
- The fuel filter is cool to the touch.
- Any dirt or debris is removed from the fuel filter head and vent valve.
2. Open the vent valve by turning the screw counterclockwise several full turns.

3. Operate the priming pump until a small amount of fuel seeps from the vent valve. allow the pump
to return upwards between pumps. When fuel is
present, the filter is full of fuel and the system should be primed.
4. Close the vent valve. 5. Clean any fuel which accumulated on the fuel filter. 6. Start the engine
and allow it to idle for a few minutes. 7. Check the filter for leaks.

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).

Bulletin No.: 02-01-38-007C
Date: July 27, 2004
TECHNICAL
Subject: Poor A/C Performance - A/C Will Not Blow Cold Enough (Perform A/C System Checks,
Replace Accumulator if Necessary)
Models: 2002-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2002-2004 GMC Sierra with 6.6L Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2
- RPOs LB7, LLY) and Denso A/C Compressor
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add part numbers for the hose, bracket and insulator to the Parts
Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-01-38-007B (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on less than desirable A/C performance, especially when the
ambient temperature is above 32°C (90°F).
Correction
Perform the following A/C system checks and replace the accumulator with P/N 89018601, if
necessary. This new accumulator requires the accumulator bracket, the accumulator insulator and
the A/C suction hose to be replaced also.
^ Check for A/C system leaks.
^ Check the A/C system for proper refrigerant charge. This requires recovering the refrigerant to
determine charge in system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging in the HVAC
sub-section of the Service Manual.
^ If no leaks were found and the A/C system is charged to specification, replace the accumulator
using the procedure listed below.
If normal diagnostics do not lead to a correction, then perform the following A/C system checks.
1. Re-calibrate the actuators.
2. Inspect the lower A/C condenser deflector for proper installation. The deflector should be
positioned at the lower part of the condenser and extend forward into the top of the front bumper
and below the two fresh air intake holes.
3. Check the engine cooling fan clutch for proper operation.
4. If the vehicle is equipped with a front license plate, inspect for proper installation. If the license
plate bracket is installed upside down, it will block part of the two fresh air intake holes in the
bumper. When the license plate bracket is installed correctly, the writing on the back of the bracket
will be upside down.
Inspect for material between the radiator and condenser. Remove the top plate to confirm that
there is no restriction. A radiator front filled with material will decrease condenser performance.
5. Some improvements have been found by lowering the A/C charge from 0.82 kg (1.8 lbs) to 0.73
kg (1.6 lbs).
6. Check the low pressure cycling switch for proper operation. The low pressure switch opens at
172-234 kPa (25-34 psi) which stops compressor operation and closes when the low side pressure
reaches 276-310 kPa (40-45 psi). This enables the compressor to turn back on.
Important:
Compressor clutch engagement cannot be used to determine the status of the low pressure switch.
The low pressure switch is one of several inputs to the HVAC control module for A/C request
authorization. A/C request is one of several inputs to the powertrain control module (PCM) that
control A/C compressor clutch engagement.
Using a scan tool to monitor low pressure switch status while monitoring the low side pressure with
the ACR 2000 at the service port and watch

the pressure at which the switch opens/closes is imperative to successfully diagnosing the switch.
7. If the A/C performance has not improved after performing the above steps, replace the
accumulator with P/N 89018601, using the procedure listed below. This new accumulator also
requires the accumulator bracket, accumulator insulator and A/C suction hose to be replaced.

Leak detection dye P/N 12378563 (J 29545-6) (in Canada P/N 88900915) may cause
DEX-COOL(R) coolant to appear green in a black vessel making it appear to be conventional
(green) coolant. This may cause a technician to add conventional coolant to a low DEX-COOL(R)
system thus contaminating it. The green DEX-COOL(R) appearance is caused by the color of the
leak detection dye which alters the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant.
A new leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (J 46366) (in Canada P/N 89022220) has been released
that does not alter the appearance of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant. When adding the new leak
detection dye the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant will not change. For detecting leaks on any
system that uses DEX-COOL(R) leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (in Canada P/N 89022220)
should be used. The new leak detection dye can be used with both conventional and
DEX-COOL(R) coolant.

Coolant Reimbursement Policy
General Motors supports the use of recycled engine coolant for warranty repairs/service, providing
a GM approved engine coolant recycling system is used. Recycled coolant will be reimbursed at
the GMSPO dealer price for new coolant plus the appropriate mark-up. When coolant replacement
is required during a warranty repair, it is crucial that only the relative amount of engine coolant
concentrate be charged, not the total diluted volume. In other words: if you are using two gallons of
pre-diluted (50:50) recycled engine coolant to service a vehicle, you may request reimbursement
for one gallon of GM Goodwrench engine coolant concentrate at the dealer price plus the
appropriate warranty parts handling allowance.
Licensed Approved DEX-COOL(R) Providers
Important:
USE OF NON-APPROVED VIRGIN OR RECYCLED DEX-COOL(R) OR DEVIATIONS IN THE
FORM OF ALTERNATE CHEMICALS OR ALTERATION OF EQUIPMENT, WILL VOID THE GM
ENDORSEMENT, MAY DEGRADE COOLANT SYSTEM INTEGRITY AND PLACE THE
COOLING SYSTEM WARRANTY UNDER JEOPARDY.
Shown in Table 1 are the only current licensed and approved providers of DEX-COOL(R). Products
that are advertised as "COMPATIBLE" or "RECOMMENDED" for use with DEX-COOL(R) have not
been tested or approved by General Motors. Non-approved coolants may degrade the

coolant system integrity and will no longer be considered a 5 yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) coolant.
Coolant Removal Services/Recycling
The tables include all coolant recycling processes currently approved by GM. Also included is a
primary phone number and demographic information. Used DEX-COOL(R) can be combined with
used conventional coolant (green) for recycling. Depending on the recycling service and/or
equipment, it is then designated as a conventional 2 yr/30,000 mile (50,000 km) coolant or
DEX-COOL(R) 5 yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) coolant. Recycled coolants as designated in this
bulletin may be used during the vehicle(s) warranty period.
DEX-COOL(R) Recycling
The DEX-COOL(R) recycling service listed in Table 2 has been approved for recycling waste
engine coolants (DEX-COOL) or conventional) to DEX-COOL(R) with 5 yr/150,000 mile (240,000
km) usability. Recycling Fluid Technologies is the only licensed provider of Recycled
DEX-COOL(R) meeting GM6277M specifications and utilizes GM approved inhibitor packages.
This is currently a limited program being monitored by GM Service Operations which will be
expanded as demand increases.
Conventional (Green) Recycling
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Coolant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Cooling System - DEX-COOL(R) Coolant Leak Detection Dye > Page 2421
Processes shown in the Table 3 are capable of recycling waste engine coolants (DEX-COOL(R) or
conventional) to a conventional (green) coolant. Recycling conventional coolant can be
accomplished at your facility by a technician using approved EQUIPMENT (listed by model number
in Table 3), or by an approved coolant recycling SERVICE which may recycle the coolant at your
facility or at an offsite operation. Refer to the table for GM approved coolant recyclers in either of
these two categories. Should you decide to recycle the coolant yourself, strict adherence to the
operating procedures is imperative. Use ONLY the inhibitor chemicals supplied by the respective
(GM approved) recycling equipment manufacturer.
Sealing Tablets
Cooling System Sealing Tablets (Seal Tabs) should not be used as a regular maintenance item
after servicing an engine cooling system. Discoloration of coolant can occur if too many seal tabs
have been inserted into the cooling system. This can occur if seal tabs are repeatedly used over
the service life of a vehicle. Where appropriate, seal tabs may be used if diagnostics fail to repair a
small leak in the cooling system. When a condition appears in which seal tabs may be
recommended, a specific bulletin will be released describing their proper usage.
Water Quality
The integrity of the coolant is dependent upon the quality of DEX-COOL(R) and water.
DEX-COOL(R) is a product that has enhanced protection capability as well as an extended service
interval. These enhanced properties may be jeopardized by combining DEX-COOL(R) with poor
quality water. If you suspect the water in your area of being poor quality, it is recommended you
use distilled or de-ionized water with DEX-COOL(R).
"Pink" DEX-COOL(R)
DEX-COOL(R) is orange in color to distinguish it from other coolants. Due to inconsistencies in the
mixing of the dyes used with DEX-COOL(R), some batches may appear pink after time. The color
shift from orange to pink does not affect the integrity of the coolant, and still maintains the 5
yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) service interval.
Back Service
Only use DEX-COOL(R) if the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R).
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Coolant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Cooling System - DEX-COOL(R) Coolant Leak Detection Dye > Page 2422
Contamination
Mixing conventional green coolant with DEX-COOL(R) will degrade the service interval from 5
yrs./150,000 miles (240,000 km) to 2 yrs./30,000 miles (50,000 km) if left in the contaminated
condition. If contamination occurs, the cooling system must be flushed twice immediately and
re-filled with a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL(R) and clean water in order to preserve the enhanced
properties and extended service interval of DEX-COOL(R).
After 5 years/150,000 miles (240,000 km)
After 5 yrs/150,000 miles (240,000 km), the coolant should be changed, preferably using a coolant
exchanger. If the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R) and has not had problems
with contamination from non-DEX-COOL(R) coolants, then the service interval remains the same,
and the coolant does not need to be changed for another 5 yrs/150,000 miles (240,000 km)
Equipment (Coolant Exchangers)
The preferred method of performing coolant replacement is to use a coolant exchanger. A coolant
exchanger can replace virtually all of the old coolant with new coolant. Coolant exchangers can be
used to perform coolant replacement without spillage, and facilitate easy waste collection. They
can also be used to lower the coolant level in a vehicle to allow for less messy servicing of cooling
system components. It is recommended that you use a coolant exchanger with a vacuum feature
facilitates removing trapped air from the cooling system. This is a substantial time savings over
repeatedly thermo cycling the vehicle and topping-off the radiator. The vacuum feature also allows
venting of a hot system to relieve system pressure. Approved coolant exchangers are available
through the GMDE (General Motors Dealer Equipment) program.
For refilling a cooling system that has been partially or fully drained for repairs other than coolant
replacement, the Vac-N-Fill Coolant Refill Tool (GE-47716) is recommended to facilitate removal of
trapped air from the cooling system during refill.

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 you use the proper coolant, you do not have to add extra inhibitors or additives which
claim to improve the system. These can be harmful.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS / TRANSFER CASES and POWER STEERING
The content of this bulletin does not apply to manual transmissions or transfer cases. Any vehicle
that previously required DEXRON(R)-III for a manual transmission or transfer case should now use
P/N 88861800. This fluid is labeled Manual Transmission and Transfer Case Fluid. Some manual
transmissions and transfer cases require a different fluid. Appropriate references should be
checked when servicing any of these components.
Power Steering Systems should now use P/N 9985010 labeled Power Steering Fluid.
Consult the Parts Catalog, Owner's Manual, or Service Information (SI) for fluid recommendations.
Some of our customers and/or General Motors dealerships/Saturn Retailers may have some
concerns with DEXRON(R)-VI and DEXRON(R)-III Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and
transmission warranty claims. DEXRON(R)-VI is the only approved fluid for warranty repairs for
General Motors transmissions/transaxles requiring DEXRON(R)-III and/or prior DEXRON(R)
transmission fluids (except as noted above). Please remember that the clean oil reservoirs of the
J-45096 - Flushing and Flow Tester machine should be purged of DEXRON(R)-III and filled with
DEXRON(R)-VI for testing, flushing or filling General Motors transmissions/transaxles (except as
noted above).
DEXRON(R)-VI can be used in any proportion in past model vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission/transaxle in place of DEXRON(R)-III (i.e. topping off the fluid in the event of a repair
or fluid change). DEXRON(R)-VI is also compatible with any former version of DEXRON(R) for use
in automatic transmissions/transaxles.
DEXRON(R)-VI ATF
General Motors Powertrain has upgraded to DEXRON(R)-VI ATF with the start of 2006 vehicle
production.
Current and prior automatic transmission models that had used DEXRON(R)-III must now only use
DEXRON(R)-VI.

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 bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

Attention:
DEXRON(R)-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is the only approved fluid for warranty repairs
for General Motors transmissions/transaxles requiring DEXRON(R)-III and/or prior DEXRON(R)
transmission fluids.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-037D (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS / TRANSFER CASES and POWER STEERING
The content of this bulletin does not apply to manual transmissions or transfer cases. Any vehicle
that previously required DEXRON(R)-III for a manual transmission or transfer case should now use
P/N 88861800. This fluid is labeled Manual Transmission and Transfer Case Fluid. Some manual
transmissions and transfer cases require a different fluid. Appropriate references should be
checked when servicing any of these components.
Power Steering Systems should now use P/N 9985010 labeled Power Steering Fluid.
Consult the Parts Catalog, Owner's Manual, or Service Information (SI) for fluid recommendations.
Some of our customers and/or General Motors dealerships/Saturn Retailers may have some
concerns with DEXRON(R)-VI and DEXRON(R)-III Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and
transmission warranty claims. DEXRON(R)-VI is the only approved fluid for warranty repairs for
General Motors transmissions/transaxles requiring DEXRON(R)-III and/or prior DEXRON(R)
transmission fluids (except as noted above). Please remember that the clean oil reservoirs of the
J-45096 - Flushing and Flow Tester machine should be purged of DEXRON(R)-III and filled with
DEXRON(R)-VI for testing, flushing or filling General Motors transmissions/transaxles (except as
noted above).
DEXRON(R)-VI can be used in any proportion in past model vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission/transaxle in place of DEXRON(R)-III (i.e. topping off the fluid in the event of a repair
or fluid change). DEXRON(R)-VI is also compatible with any former version of DEXRON(R) for use
in automatic transmissions/transaxles.
DEXRON(R)-VI ATF
General Motors Powertrain has upgraded to DEXRON(R)-VI ATF with the start of 2006 vehicle
production.
Current and prior automatic transmission models that had used DEXRON(R)-III must now only use
DEXRON(R)-VI.

All 2006 and future model transmissions that use DEXRON(R)-VI are to be serviced ONLY with
DEXRON(R)-VI fluid.
DEXRON(R)-VI is an improvement over DEXRON(R)-III in the following areas:
* These ATF change intervals remain the same as DEXRON(R)-III for the time being.
2006-2008 Transmission Fill and Cooler Flushing
Some new applications of the 6L80 six speed transmission will require the use of the J 45096 Flushing and Flow Tester to accomplish transmission fluid fill. The clean oil reservoir of the
machine should be purged of DEXRON(R)-III and filled with DEXRON(R)-VI.

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

Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.

with Four-Wheel Drive and 9.25" Front Axle Assemblies and Built Prior to April 1, 2004
This bulletin is being revised to update vehicle applications, part numbers and fluid fill information.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-04-19-001A (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Important:
This bulletin is intended for vehicles sold in very cold weather climates, especially those in Alaska
and certain regions of Canada.
Important:
This bulletin DOES NOT apply to vehicles built after April 1, 2004. Vehicles referenced above that
were built after April 1, 2004 were manufactured with front axles containing synthetic axle lubricant
and do not need to have the front axle fluid inspected or changed.
Front axles in the above-listed vehicles built before April 1, 2004 are manufactured with mineral-oil
base axle fluid. Because of the 9.25" front axle assembly's internal design characteristics, there
may be insufficient lubrication flow at very low ambient temperatures (-24°C (-12°F) or below). This
may contribute to premature pinion bearing wear if a vehicle is driven extensively in very low
ambient temperatures.
Important:
Please be certain that PDI personnel know to perform the drain/refill procedure all year round (not
just in the cold weather months). New vehicles that are expected to operate extensively in 4WD in
temperatures below -24°C (-12°F) should have their front axle fluid drained and refilled with
synthetic axle lubricant during PDI or before delivery to the first retail customer.
Follow the Front Drive Axle Lubricant Replacement procedure found in the Service Manual. It is not
necessary to flush the front axle assembly. Use Synthetic Axle Lubricant, P/N 12378261 or P/N
89021677 (Canadian P/N 10953455 or P/N 89021678). Each of these part numbers is the same
axle lubricant, with differences in packaging only. Fill to a level between 6 and 9 mm (0.25 in to
0.375 in) below the bottom of the fill plug.
For vehicles that have the axle lubricant changed, the front axle vent hose connector assembly will
need to be inspected.
Important:
Front axle assemblies with a vent hose connector assembly that is white in color do not need to be
changed.
If the vent hose connector is black in color, it will need to be changed so that the 0-ring seal is
compatible with the synthetic lubricant Install vent connector, P/N 12479390. Follow the Front Drive
Axle Vent Hose Connector Replacement procedure in the Service Manual.

Information on Engine Oil Consumption Guidelines for the 6.6L Duramax Diesel Engine.
All engines require oil to lubricate and protect the load bearing and internal moving parts from wear
including cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings. When a piston moves down its cylinder, a thin film
of oil is left on the cylinder wall. During the combustion process, part of this oil layer is consumed.
As a result, varying rates of oil consumption are accepted as normal in all engines.
Oil Consumption
Oil usage has a direct relationship with the amount of fuel used. The harder an engine works, the
more fuel and oil it will use. Therefore, oil usage as a factor of fuel usage is a more accurate
indicator of acceptable oil consumption levels than vehicle mileage.
The accepted rate of oil consumption for the 6.6L Duramax(TM) Diesel engine is 0.946 liter (1 qt)
within 379 liters (100 gallons) of fuel used. This rate only applies to vehicles under warranty,
maintained in accordance with the appropriate maintenance schedule, driven at legal speeds and
within design intent of the vehicle.
Many factors can affect an owner's concern with oil consumption. Driving habits and vehicle
maintenance vary from owner to owner. Thoroughly evaluate each case before deciding whether
the vehicle in question has abnormal engine oil consumption.
Gasket and External Leaks
Inspect the oil pans, engine covers, and the engine oil cooler for leakage. Inspect the turbocharger
oil lines and fittings for signs of leakage. Inspect the turbocharger outlet pipe for signs of oil,
indicating worn turbocharger shaft bushings or seals. Inspect for oil leakage into the engine
coolant.
Improper Reading of the Oil Level Indicator (Dipstick)
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface to obtain accurate oil level readings. Verify that the
dipstick tube is fully seated in the block. When checking the oil level, make sure the dipstick is
wiped clean before taking an oil level reading and fully depress the dipstick until the shoulder
bottoms out on the dipstick tube. The dipstick should be the proper part number for the
engine/vehicle that is being checked.
Not Waiting Long Enough After Running Engine to Check Oil Level
The vehicle should be allowed to sit for at least 15 minutes, after the engine has been shut off,
before taking an oil level reading to assure the oil has had enough time to drain back into the
crankcase. In order to ensure accurate results, the temperature of the oil should be close to the
same temperature as the last time the oil level was checked.
Improper Oil Fill After an Oil Change
Following an oil change, verify that the proper amount and type of oil was put in the engine and that
the oil level on the dipstick is not above the full mark or below the add marks. Refer to the Owner's
Manual or Service Manual for information on recommended oil quantity, viscosity, and quality.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Engine Oil > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Diesel Engine - Greater Than Expected Oil Consumption > Page 2565
Diesel engines require a CH-4 or CG-4 oil rating.
High Speed or High RPM Driving
Continuous driving at high speeds/high RPMs may increase oil consumption. Because this may not
always be an everyday occurrence, it is hard to determine exactly how much the oil economy will
be affected.
Towing or Heavy Usage
Towing a trailer or hauling additional weight will increase oil consumption. Large frontal area trailers
will further increase the work required from the engine, especially at highway speeds, and thus
increases the rate of oil consumption.
PTO Operation
Operation of a PTO will increase fuel and oil usage, as the PTO driven accessory uses engine
power to operate.
Crankcase Ventilation System
Verify that the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is operating properly. Blockages,
restrictions or damage to the PCV system can result in increased oil use.
Oil Dilution from Condensation
On vehicles that are usually driven short distances, less than 8 km (5 mi), especially in colder
weather, condensation generated from cold engine operation may not get hot enough to evaporate
out of the oil. When this occurs, the dipstick may indicate that the oil level is over-full. Subsequent
driving on a trip of sufficient length to enable normal engine operating temperature for 30 minutes
or more, in order to vaporize excess moisture, may give the customer the impression of excessive
oil consumption.
Engine Temperature
If an engine is run at overheated temperatures (see Owner's Manual or Service Manual) for more
than brief periods, oil will oxidize at a faster than normal rate. In addition, gaskets may distort,
piston rings may stick, and excessive wear may result. verify that all cooling system components
are in proper working order.
Engine Wear
Piston scuffing, excessive piston-to-wall clearance, tapered or out of round cylinders, worn,
damaged or improperly installed valve guides, seals and piston rings will all cause an increase in
oil consumption.
Measurement of Oil Consumption
Engines require a period of time to BREAK IN so that moving parts are properly seated. Therefore,
oil economy should not be tested until the vehicle has accumulated at least 8000 km (5000 mi) and
the oil has been changed for the first time. During initial engine break-in periods before the first oil
change, oil consumption may exceed 1.9 liters (2 quarts) or more per 379 liters (100 gallons) of fuel
used.
1. Verify that the engine has no external leaks. Repair as necessary.
2. Begin oil consumption test after next regularly scheduled oil and filter change. Oil changes
should not be performed during the test.
3. Verify that the engine is at normal operating temperature (see Owner's Manual or Service
Manual).
4. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
5. Wait at least 15 minutes, after the engine is shut off, before checking the oil level to make sure
that most of the oil has had time to drain back into the crankcase.
6. Verify that the oil level is at, but not above, the full mark on the dipstick and that the proper
viscosity and quality oil are being used as recommended in the Owner's Manual.

Bulletin No.: 08-01-38-001
Date: January 25, 2008
INFORMATION
Subject: Information On New GE-48800 CoolTech Refrigerant Recovery/Recharge Equipment
Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to announce the release of GM approved Air Conditioning (A/C)
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging Equipment that meets the new Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standards. The ACR2000 (J-43600) cannot be
manufactured in its current state after December 2007 and will be superseded by GE-48800.
The new J2788 standard does not require that GM Dealers replace their ACR2000 units.
ACR2000's currently in use are very capable of servicing today's refrigerant systems when used
correctly and can continue to be used. Details regarding the new SAE J2788 standard are outlined
in GM Bulletin 07-01-38-004.
Effective February 1 2008, new A/C Refrigerant Recovery/Recharging equipment (P/N GE-48800)
will be released as a required replacement for the previously essential ACR2000 (J-43600). This
equipment is SAE J2788 compliant and meets GM requirements for A/C Refrigerant System
Repairs on all General Motors vehicles, including Hybrid systems with Polyolester (POE)
refrigerant oil. This equipment will not be shipped as an essential tool to GM Dealerships.
In addition, this equipment is Hybrid compliant and designed to prevent oil cross contamination
when servicing Hybrid vehicles with Electric A/C Compressors that use POE refrigerant oil.
The ACR2000 (J-43600) will need to be retrofitted with a J-43600-50 (Hose - ACR2000 Oil Flush
Loop) to be able to perform Hybrid A/C service work. All Hybrid dealers will receive the J-43600-50,
with installation instructions, as a component of the Hybrid essential tool package. Dealerships that
do not sell Hybrids, but may need to service Hybrids, can obtain J-43600-50 from SPX Kent Moore.
Refer to GM Bulletin 08-01-39-001 for the ACR2000 Hose Flush procedure.
The High Voltage (HV) electric A/C compressor used on Two Mode Hybrid vehicles uses a
Polyolester (POE) refrigerant oil instead of a Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) synthetic refrigerant oil.
This is due to the better electrical resistance of the POE oil and its ability to provide HV isolation.
Failure to flush the hoses before adding refrigerant to a Hybrid vehicle with an electric A/C
compressor may result in an unacceptable amount of PAG oil entering the refrigerant system. It
may cause a Battery Energy Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Lost
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC P1AE7) to be set. Additionally, the A/C system warranty will be
voided.
Warranty Submission Requirements
The Electronically Generated Repair Data (snapshot summary) and printer functions have been
eliminated from the GE-48800. The VGA display and temperature probes were eliminated to
reduce equipment costs. As a result, effective immediately the 18 digit "Snapshot/Charge
Summary" code is no longer required for Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant system repairs that are
submitted for warranty reimbursement. The charge summary data from before and after system
repairs will continue to required, but documented on the repair order only. Both high and low
pressures and the recovery and charge amounts should be noted during the repair and entered on
the repair order. If using ACR2000 (J-43600), the "Snapshot/Charge Summary" printouts should
continue to be attached to the shops copy of the repair order.
The labor codes that are affected by this requirement are D3000 through D4500.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY AND RECHARGING
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 43600 ACR 2000 Air Conditioning Service Center
- J 45037 A/C Oil Injector
CAUTION: Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist. Exposure
may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a
from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J
2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work
area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the
refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
- For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around
fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If
R-134a 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.
NOTE: 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.
- To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
- Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the
R-134a A/C system and only 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.
- 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,
recycles, evacuates and recharges A/C refrigerant quickly, accurately and automatically. The unit
has a display screen that contains the function controls and displays prompts that will lead the
technician through the recover, recycle, evacuate and recharge operations. R-134a is recovered
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 for the
correct amount.
A/C REFRIGERANT SYSTEM OIL CHARGE REPLENISHING
If oil was removed from the A/C system during the recovery process or due to component
replacement, the oil must be replenished. Oil can be injected into a charged system using J 45037 .
For the proper quantities of oil to add to the A/C refrigerant system, refer to Refrigerant System
Capacities.

SIR Disabling and Enabling
The SIR Identification Views shown below illustrate the approximate location of all SIR components
available for the vehicle. This will assist in determining the appropriate SIR Disabling and Enabling
for a given service procedure. Refer to See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations/SIR
Zone Identification Views
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
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.
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.
Important: 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.

Concerns with Harbor Freight Tools "Storehouse" Branded Blade Type Fuses
General Motors has become aware of a fuse recall by Harbor Freight Tools/Storehouse for a
variety of aftermarket fuses. In two cases, these fuses have not provided protection for the wiring
system of the vehicles they were customer installed in.
Upon testing the 15 amp version, it was found that the fuse still would not "open" when shorted
directly across the battery terminals.
How to Identify These Fuses
Packed in a 120 piece set, the fuse has a translucent, hard plastic, blue body with the amperage
stamped into the top. There are no white painted numbers on the fuse to indicate amperage. There
are no identifying marks on the fuse to tell who is making it. The fuses are known to be distributed
by Harbor Freight Tools but there may be other marketers, and packaging of this style of fuse. It
would be prudent to replace these fuses if found in a customers vehicle. Likewise, if wiring
overheating is found you should check the fuse panel for the presence of this style of fuse.
All GM dealers should use genuine GM fuses on the vehicles they service. You should also
encourage the use of GM fuses to your customers to assure they are getting the required electrical
system protection. GM has no knowledge of any concerns with other aftermarket fuses. If
additional information becomes available, this bulletin will be updated.

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.

Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-045
Date: June 22, 2004
INFORMATION
Subject: Oil Life Monitoring System - PCM Reset
Models: 2004 All GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Important:
The Oil Life Monitoring System can be found on many General Motor's vehicles prior to 2004.
Refer to SI and/or the Owner's Manual for detailed information.
The purpose of this bulletin is to help technicians identify which vehicles are equipped with the oil
life monitoring system. Although many General Motors vehicles prior to 2004 have been equipped
with the oil life monitoring system, the 2004 model year vehicles were used as a starting point to
validate the system/scan tool functionality.
Customers have come to depend on the Oil Life Monitoring System found on most General Motor's
vehicles to inform them when it's time for an oil change. If for any reason the PCM is replaced, it is
important to access the "Percent of Oil Life Remaining" from the vehicle's current PCM PRIOR to
removing the PCM. This value must be programmed into the new PCM (after it is installed in the
vehicle) by using the scan tool.
Note:
Failure to reprogram the value to the new PCM will result in missed maintenance, which may cause
damage to the engine.
Important:
If the replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will
need to changed at 5,000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.

Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation
GM OIL LIFE SYSTEM
When the "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" light comes on, it means that service is required for your
vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 miles). It is
possible that, if you are driving under the best conditions, the engine oil life system may not
indicate that vehicle service is necessary for over a year. However, your engine oil and filter must
be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset.
If the engine oil life system is ever reset accidentally, you must service your vehicle within 5 000 km
(3,000 miles) since your last service. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is
changed. Refer to GM Oil Life System - Resetting for information on the engine Oil Life System and
resetting the system.
When the "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" light appears, certain services, checks and inspections are
required. Required services are described in the following for "Maintenance I" and "Maintenance
II." Generally, it is recommended that your first service be Maintenance I, your second service be
Maintenance II and that you alternate Maintenance I and Maintenance II thereafter. However, in
some cases, Maintenance II may be required more often.
The engine oil life monitor will indicate when to change the engine oil - usually between 5,000 km
(3,000 miles) and 16,000 km (10,000 miles) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the
"CHANGE OIL SOON" light may be displayed before 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The vehicle must not
be driven more than 16,000 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months without an oil change.
The engine oil life monitor will not detect dust in the oil. If the vehicle is driven in a dusty area, be
sure to change the oil every 5,000 km (3,000 miles) or sooner if the "CHANGE OIL SOON" light is
displayed.

Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair
HOW TO RESET THE CHANGE ENGINE OIL MESSAGE
The GM Oil Life System calculates when to change your engine oil and filter based on vehicle use.
Anytime your oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where you change your oil prior to a "CHANGE ENGINE OIL"
message being turned on, reset the system.
To reset the "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" message, do the following:
Without Driver Information Center (DIC)
1. Turn the ignition key to "RUN" with the engine off. 2. Fully press and release the accelerator
pedal three times within five seconds. If the "OIL LIFE RESET" message flashes for 10 seconds,
the
system is resetting.
3. Turn the key to "LOCK". 4. If the "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" message comes back on when you
start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the
procedure.
With Driver Information Center (DIC)
1. To reset the Oil Life System use the fuel button to reach the "ENGINE OIL LIFE" screen and
then press and hold the "select" button for five
seconds while "ENGINE OIL LIFE" is displayed. "OIL LIFE RESET" will appear on the display for
10 seconds to let you know the system is reset.
WHAT TO DO WITH USED OIL
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may 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. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place
that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask your dealer, a
service station or a local recycling center for help.

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.

wheel or 17-inch diameter aluminum wheel while the road tires have a 17-inch, 18-inch, 20-inch or
22-inch diameter aluminum wheel. Although the spare tire has a different wheel diameter and may
be a different brand, the rolling circumference is nearly identical to the road tires. The size
difference will not cause a concern because the spare and the other tires will travel the same
distance in one revolution.
This combination of non-matching tires is used most often on full-size trucks. These vehicles use a
road tire and wheel combination that may be too large to conveniently fit the storage compartment
space of the vehicle. The customer may not be able to easily remove the spare tire/wheel from the
storage area because of its size and/or weight. A steel spare wheel, rather than an aluminum one,
may be used since the spare is stowed under the vehicle where it is exposed to road and weather
elements. A steel wheel is less likely to incur cosmetic damage while in the stowed position for long
periods of time.
Please provide this information to your customers. Also, remind your customers of the importance
of following the tire maintenance schedule as listed in their Owner Manual. Additional tire care
information can be found by visiting www.gmtiresafety.com or contacting GM toll-free.

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

Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 00-03-10-006F > May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV) > Page 2899
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

Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 00-03-10-006F > May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV) > Page 2900
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
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

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.

Acceptably Prepared (Cleaned-Up) Wheel Surface
6. Once the corrosion has been eliminated, you should coat the repaired area with a commercially
available tire sealant such as Patch Brand Bead
Sealant or equivalent. Commercially available bead sealants are black rubber-like coatings that will
permanently fill and seal the resurfaced bead seat. At 21°C (70°F) ambient temperature, this
sealant will set-up sufficiently for tire mounting in about 10 minutes.Coated and Sealed Bead Seat
7. Remount the tire and install the repaired wheel and tire assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel
Removal and Installation in SI.

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 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

Staining/Pitting/Corrosion > Page 2926
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.

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

longer.
Important 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.
When re-mounting a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in order to
reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.

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.
Lubricants, Grease and Fluids

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 06-03-10-010A > Jun > 10 > Wheels - Changing
Procedures/Precautions > Page 2937
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 Most Important Service You Provide
While the above information is well known, and wheel removal so common, technicians run the risk
of becoming complacent on this very important

service operation. A simple distraction or time constraint that rushes the job may result in personal
injury if the greatest of care is not exercised. Make it a habit to double check your work and to
always side with caution when installing wheels.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 00-03-10-006F > May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire Radial Force
Variation (RFV) > Page 2943
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

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.

information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-003E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a low tire pressure condition.
Diagnosis of the low tire pressure condition indicates an air leak through the cast aluminum wheel.
Cause
Porosity in the cast aluminum wheel may be the cause.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to the wheel casting that may result in an air
leak. For issues related to corrosion of the wheel in service, please refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 08-03-10-006C - Tire Slowly Goes Flat, Tire Air Loss, Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
Illuminated, Aluminum Wheel Bead Seat Corrosion (Clean and Resurface Wheel Bead Seat).
Correction
1. Remove the tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate service
procedure in SI. 2. Locate the leaking area by inflating the tire to 276 kPa (40 psi) and dipping the
tire/wheel assembly in a water bath, or use a spray bottle with soap
and water to locate the specific leak location.
Important
- If the porosity leak is located in the bead area of the aluminum rim (where the tire meets the rim),
the wheel should be replaced.
- If two or more leaks are located on one wheel, the wheel should be replaced.
3. If air bubbles are observed, mark the location.
- If the leak location is on the tire/rubber area, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 04-03-10-001F Tire Puncture Repair Procedures for All Cars and Light Duty Trucks.
- If the leak is located on the aluminum wheel area, continue with the next step.

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
Corrosion

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.

Acceptably Prepared (Cleaned-Up) Wheel Surface
6. Once the corrosion has been eliminated, you should coat the repaired area with a commercially
available tire sealant such as Patch Brand Bead
Sealant or equivalent. Commercially available bead sealants are black rubber-like coatings that will
permanently fill and seal the resurfaced bead seat. At 21°C (70°F) ambient temperature, this
sealant will set-up sufficiently for tire mounting in about 10 minutes.Coated and Sealed Bead Seat
7. Remount the tire and install the repaired wheel and tire assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel
Removal and Installation in SI.
Parts Information
Patch Brand Bead Sealer is available from Myers Tires at 1-800-998-9897 or on the web at
www.myerstiresupply.com. The one-quart size can of sealer will repair about 20 wheels.

Analysis of Returned Wheels
Chrome wheels returned under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for pitting concerns have
recently been evaluated. This condition is usually most severe in the vent (or window) area of the
front wheels. This "pitting" may actually be brake dust that has been allowed to accumulate on the
wheel. The longer this accumulation builds up, the more difficult it is to remove.
Cleaning the Wheels
In all cases, the returned wheels could be cleaned to their original condition using GM Vehicle Care
Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, P/N 10952905). When using this product, you should
confine your treatment to the areas of the wheel that show evidence of the brake dust build-up.
This product is only for use on chromed steel or chromed aluminum wheels.

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 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

Staining/Pitting/Corrosion > Page 2974
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.

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

longer.
Important 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.
When re-mounting a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in order to
reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.

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.

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.
Lubricants, Grease and Fluids
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 06-03-10-010A > Jun > 10 > Wheels - Changing
Procedures/Precautions > Page 2985
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 Most Important Service You Provide
While the above information is well known, and wheel removal so common, technicians run the risk
of becoming complacent on this very important

service operation. A simple distraction or time constraint that rushes the job may result in personal
injury if the greatest of care is not exercised. Make it a habit to double check your work and to
always side with caution when installing wheels.

Analysis of Returned Wheels
Chrome wheels returned under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for pitting concerns have
recently been evaluated. This condition is usually most severe in the vent (or window) area of the
front wheels. This "pitting" may actually be brake dust that has been allowed to accumulate on the
wheel. The longer this accumulation builds up, the more difficult it is to remove.
Cleaning the Wheels
In all cases, the returned wheels could be cleaned to their original condition using GM Vehicle Care
Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, P/N 10952905). When using this product, you should
confine your treatment to the areas of the wheel that show evidence of the brake dust build-up.
This product is only for use on chromed steel or chromed aluminum wheels.

Wheels: Service and Repair Aluminum Wheel Refinishing
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing
A protective clear coating covers the surface of original equipment cast aluminum wheels. A
surface degradation may develop if frequent automatic car wash cleaning wears off the factory
applied protective clear coating. This can happen at some automatic car wash facilities that use
aggressive brushes to clean whitewalls and tires. Once you damage the protective clear coating,
exposure to caustic cleaners and road salt can cause further surface deterioration. Damage to the
protective clear coating is corrected by replacing the damaged wheel. Refinishing is no longer
recommended.

^ Tools Required J 39544-KIT Complete Torque Socket Set
Caution: If penetrating oil gets on the vertical surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or drum it
could cause the wheel to work loose as the vehicle is driven, resulting in loss of control and an
injury accident.
Notice: Never use heat to loosen a tight wheel. It can shorten the life of the wheel, studs, or hub
and bearing assemblies. Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to the specified torque to
avoid bending the wheel or rotor.
Notice: Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to
avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification.
Important: Removing wheels can be difficult because of foreign material or a tight fit between the
wheel center hole and the hub or rotor. Excessive force, such as hammering on the wheel or tire,
can cause damage. Slightly tapping the tire side wall with a rubber mallet is acceptable.
1. ^ Tighten all wheel nuts on the affected wheel.
2. Loosen each wheel nut 2 turns. 3. Rock the vehicle from side to side in order to loosen the
wheel. If this does not loosen the wheel, rock the vehicle front to back applying quick
hard jabs to the brake pedal to loosen the wheel.
4. Repeat this procedure if the wheel does not break free.
Removal Procedure
1. Raise the vehicle. Support the vehicle with suitable safety stands. Refer to Vehicle Lifting. 2.
Remove the wheel center cap.
3. Remove the wheel nuts from the tire and wheel. 4. Mark the location of the tire and wheel to the
hub assembly. 5. Remove the tire and wheel from the vehicle. 6. Clean the wheel nuts, studs and
the wheel and rotor mounting surfaces.
Installation Procedure
Caution: Before installing the wheels, remove any buildup of corrosion on the wheel mounting
surface and brake drum or disc mounting surface by scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels
with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This
can cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, causing loss of control and possibly
personal injury.
Notice: A torque wrench or J 39544 must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to
specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel stud, nuts, or mounting surfaces,
as this can raise the actual torque on the nut without a corresponding torque reading on the torque
wrench. Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in wheel, nut, and/or stud damage.

Some hubcap assemblies on the above-listed vehicles are being returned to the Warranty Parts
Center (WPC) for loose and/or rattle conditions. Some returned hubcaps have the stand-off
insulators removed. Analyses of these parts show no out of specification condition.
Hubcap assemblies are placed in the vehicle by the assembly plant for dealer installation.
Installation is done by threading the six or eight plastic nut caps, which are part of the hubcap
assembly, to the external threads of the wheel (lug) nuts.
If over-tightened, these plastic nut caps will jump threads, as designed, causing a loose or rattle
condition.
Important:
^ DO NOT over-tighten the plastic nut caps.
^ DO NOT use an impact wrench on the plastic nut caps.
^ DO NOT modify or remove the stand-off insulators from the plastic hubcap assembly.
The nut cap system is designed to skip a thread if over-tightened. DO NOT replace the hubcap
assembly if this happens.
Hold hubcap (2) firmly in place on wheel with the plastic wheel nut caps (3) aligned with the steel
wheel nuts (1). Hand snug each nut cap (3) (using a hand held deep socket or torque stick) until
fully seated against the hubcap (2). You should feel the nut cap (3) ratchet against the hubcap (2) a
couple times as the nut cap (3) seats. After all nut caps (3) have been seated, check tightness of
each nut cap (3) using the socket or torque stick and tighten any nut cap (3) that may have
loosened. If a nut cap (3) jumps thread (a design feature to prevent damage) and becomes loose
during tightening, continue to tighten and stop short of thread jump.
Follow the installation instruction sheet that is included in each hubcap package.

This bulletin is being revised to update the parts information in the table and to add an Illustrated
Hub Gallery depicting all wheel hub part numbers called out below for visual identification
purposes. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-03-08-003 (Section 03 - Suspension).
General Motors Vehicle Engineering has introduced a new design Gen III front wheel hub for the
above listed vehicles that replaces the Gen II product.
These Gen II 4x2 and 4x4 applications that were previously serviced by seven part numbers are
now serviced by three Gen III part numbers.
Concerns have been expressed by technicians regarding the use of the new supersessions and
whether the Gen III hubs will properly fit the vehicles being serviced, especially because of visual
and functional differences (splines). This bulletin has been developed to address those concerns.
Please refer to the table above for information on the Gen III replacement part for each Gen II
application. At the end of the bulletin you will find an illustrated "Hub Gallery" with graphic
depictions of both Gen II and replacement style Gen III parts. Using these illustrations you should
be able to identify both the Gen II and Gen III wheel hubs.
Warning
If replacing wheel studs, please refer to the GM Parts Catalog for the correct stud part number for
each application. Different types of studs are used depending on the wheel hub application.
When replacing an older Gen II design 4x2 hub with a new 4x2/4x4 common Gen III hub, it is
acceptable to have a bearing with splines on it for a 4x2 application that previously did not.
However, the older Gen II design 4x4 hubs should NOT be used on a 4x2 vehicle. The Gen II 4x4
hub relies on the tension of the wheel drive shaft joint to hold everything together. The roll form
feature on the inboard side of the new 4x2/4x4 Gen III hub eliminates this concern.
The only hub that is not back serviceable is P/N 15719007 (not pictured) for 1999-2000 C25
applications due to a different hub flange to bearing flange offset.
Important:
Only the new part numbers referenced in this bulletin are interchangeable between the 4x2 and
4x4 applications with the exception of P/N 15719007 (Not Shown). Under no circumstances should
any other 4x4 hub be used in a 4x2 application.

The wheel hubs illustrated above are intended to provide enough visual details to identify subtle
differences between the Gen II and Gen III replacement hubs. The various colors used in the
graphics are not indicative of any difference or feature, but are used to increase the detail and
clarity of the assembly.
The associated part number is listed with each illustration. Please refer to the chart above for the
specific application for each hub.

Please note the following when referring to a specific illustration:
^ When using the illustrations for back to back comparisons of two hubs, the most obvious
differences are visible on the back side of the hubs.
^ The most common area of physical difference are in the shape of the four mounting bosses and
their surrounds.

CAUTION: Batteries produce explosive gases. Batteries contain corrosive acid. Batteries supply
levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns.
Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of personal injury while working near a battery, observe the
following guidelines:
- Always shield your eyes.
- Avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible.
- Do not expose the battery to open flames or sparks.
- Do not allow battery acid to contact the eyes or the skin.

- Get medical help.
NOTE: This vehicle has a 12 volt, negative ground electrical system. Make sure the vehicle or
equipment being used to jump start the engine is also 12 volt, negative ground. Use of any other
type of system will damage the vehicle's electrical components.
This vehicle has a 12-volt positive, negative ground electrical system. Do not try to jump start a
vehicle, if you are unsure of the other vehicle's positive voltage or ground position. The booster
battery and the discharged battery should be treated carefully when using jumper cables.
1. Position the vehicle with the booster battery so that the jumper cables will comfortably reach the
battery of the other vehicle.
- Do not let the 2 vehicles touch.
- Make sure that the jumper cables do not have loose clamps or missing insulation.
2. Perform the following steps on both vehicles:
2.1. Place the automatic transmission in PARK.
2.2. Block the wheels.
2.3. Set the parking brake.
2.4. Turn off all electrical loads that are not needed-Leave the hazard flashers ON.
2.5. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT: Some vehicles have a battery remote positive stud-ALWAYS use the battery remote
positive stud in order to give or to receive a jump start-Consult the vehicle's owner's manual for
proper connections.
3. Attach the end of one jumper cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery. 4. Attach
the other end of the first cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery. 5. Attach one end of
the remaining jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery.
NOTE: Do not connect the negative charger lead to the housings of other vehicle electrical
accessories or equipment. The action of the battery charger may damage such equipment.

9. Using the vehicle's starter motor, rotate or crank the engine for 6 compression strokes, puffs, for
the cylinder being tested.
10. Observe the J 26999 and note the reading as the compression test is being performed. A
normal cylinder reading will be indicated if compression
builds up quickly and evenly to the specified level. An abnormal reading will be indicated if
compression is low on the first compression stroke, starts increasing on the following compression
strokes but does not reach the specified level.
11. Record the compression reading for the cylinder just tested. 12. Disconnect the J 26999 from
the J 26999-20 and remove adapter from the glow plug hole. 13. Repeat steps 8 through 13 for all
remaining cylinders. All 8 cylinders must be tested to obtain valid test results. Record the readings.
14. The minimum compression in any one cylinder is 2069 kPa (300 psi). There should not be
more than 345 kPa (50 psi) difference between a
suspect cylinder and the average compression of all 8 cylinders. ^
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.
^ Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
03-06-93-001C (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Notice:
Before installing a new turbocharger, clean any debris or excessive oil from the charge air cooler
and intake system in order to prevent damage to the new turbocharger or an engine overspeed
condition.
Spun Camshaft Bearing
If a turbocharger performance concern is thought to be caused from a deficiency of engine oil, the
camshaft bearing should be checked. The number 4 camshaft bearing bore feeds the turbocharger
engine oil supply hose. If this camshaft bearing spins in the bore, the turbocharger will be deprived
of engine oil. This will cause a performance concern with the turbocharger. Incorrect diagnosis of
this condition will result in a repeat performance concern with the turbocharger.
Camshaft Bearing Inspection
If the turbocharger has to be replaced, perform the following procedure in order to verify the
condition of the number 4 camshaft bearing before installing a new turbocharger.
1. Remove the turbocharger. Refer to Service Information (SI) procedures for Turbocharger
Replacement.
2. Remove the turbocharger oil supply hose.
3. Visually inspect for correct alignment of the number 4 camshaft bearing oil hole (Refer to
illustration callout 4) through the turbocharger oil supply hole in the block (Refer to illustration
callout 1). The camshaft journal oil groove (Refer to illustration callout 3) should be visible through
the camshaft bearing oil hole (Refer to illustration callout 4).
4. Turn the engine over by hand a 1/2 turn. The camshaft journal oil groove (Refer to illustration
callout 3) should still be visible through the
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Camshaft
Bearing > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Turbocharger Lubrication Issues > Page 3080
camshaft bearing oil hole (Refer to illustration callout 4) as the engine is turned.
5. If the camshaft bearing (Refer to illustration callout 2) has spun, the camshaft bearing oil hole
(Refer to illustration callout 4) will either not be visible at all or it will be misaligned with the
turbocharger oil supply hole during the inspection procedure. In the event of a spun camshaft
bearing, the engine must be replaced.
Restricted Turbocharger Oil Supply Hose
If a lack of oil is suspected, the turbocharger oil supply hose should also be checked for damage.
The turbocharger oil feed line is a high pressure plastic tube that is protected by a stainless steel
braided covering. If it is twisted at all or bent too far during turbocharger removal, the plastic line
may fold and kink. The kink may cause an oil flow restriction. If the plastic pipe does kink, it will not
return back to its normal size and shape. The damage may not be obvious upon inspection
because the braided steel covering will hide the deformity.
LB7 Turbocharger Replacement
During turbocharger removal on the 6.6L LB7 engine, the turbocharger oil feed line can be pulled
directly away from the turbocharger body in a perpendicular fashion. Care must be taken to avoid
excessive bending of the line.
LBZ, LLY or LMM Turbocharger Replacement
During repairs on the 6.6L LBZ, LLY or LMM engine, the EGR cooler does not allow enough
perpendicular movement of the line to clear the turbocharger for removal. However, the line can be
pushed straight forward of the turbocharger with less risk of kinking the line. Assistance may be
required to keep the lines clear of the turbocharger during removal or installation.
Notice:
Do not twist the turbocharger oil supply line. Twisting of the line will result in the collapse and
deformation of the plastic line, restricting oil flow and causing turbocharger performance concerns.

Main Bearing Bolt Length Identification
This bulletin is being published to aid technicians in how to identify the Mid-Year change to the
Main Bearing Bolt Lengths. During the early production of 2006 Duramax(TM) diesel engines, a
design change was made to the bearing cap bolt and bore for increased robustness. This change
includes a 4 mm (0.15 in) longer main bearing cap bolt along with a deeper tapped hole and a
deeper counter bore. The new bolt can be identified by a raised circle formed into the bolt head as
shown in the above illustration.
Note:
Use of the incorrect bolt will result in engine damage. The shorter bolt will not have enough thread
engagement in the newer blocks due to the deeper counter bore, and the longer bolts will bottom
out in the older blocks before achieving the proper clamp load. Measurement of the bolt length is
not a reliable method of identifying the bolt, as the bolts will stretch to a varying degree after
installation. The main bearing cap bolts should not be reused in service.
When performing service work on ANY model year Duramax(TM) engine, the main bearing cap
bolts must be replaced with the same type of bolt that was originally installed. Use the raised circle
identifying mark on the bolt head to determine which bolt to use.
It is possible that a prior year vehicle (2001+) could have the newer block with a deeper counter
bore if it had an engine replacement after the block change was implemented in production. This is
possible because some long block service engines may be built with new production components,
such as engine blocks.
In the event that the raised circle identifying mark on the bolt head cannot be relied upon to
determine the correct bolt usage, the engine block production date/time stamp may be used.

The above engine block graphic illustration shows the location of the block's production date/time
stamp behind the oil cooler. This date and time indicates the beginning of usage for the longer
main bearing cap bolt. Any block built before this time will require the shorter bolt. The production
date and time can be determined as follows:
- 5227 = 2005, 227th day (August 15)
- 1200 = 1200 hours (12:00 pm)

Condition
Some customers may comment on a Duramax(TM) Diesel vehicle with a Service Engine Soon
(SES) light illuminated on the instrument cluster. Some vehicles may have been previously
serviced for this same condition. Technicians may also find the following DTCs set with no concern
found.
^ DTC P0116: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Performance
^ DTC P0181: Fuel Temperature Sensor Performance
Cause
The Fuel Temperature Sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT), and Intake Air Temperature
(IAT) sensors are compared to each other during a cold start to identify a concern with any one of
the sensors. Engine coolant heater usage in ambient temperatures above -18°C (0°F) may trigger
a false DTC P0116 or P0181.
Correction
The diesel supplement to the Owner's Manual advises that the engine coolant heater may be used
below -1 8°C (0°F) to assist with cold starts. However, a customer may wish to plug in the heater
when the overnight temperatures are unknown. A thermostatically controlled engine coolant heater
cord is available for the prevention of false DTCs. This cord incorporates a thermostatic switch that
only conducts below -18°C (0°F).
Follow the steps below for the particular model year vehicle you are working on to ensure that the
correct diagnostics are performed before replacing the engine coolant heater cord.
2001-2002 Vehicles
1. Verify that the updated calibration per Corporate Bulletin Number 02-06-04-058 has been
installed.
2. Follow the published diagnostics in SI.
3. If no concern is found, determine if the customer is using the engine coolant heater above -18°C
(0°F).
4. If the customer is using the engine coolant heater in ambient temperatures above -18°C (0°F),
then replace the original coolant heater cord with the thermostatically controlled engine coolant

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

INFORMATION
Subject: Information on the Proper Air Filter for the Duramax(R) Diesel
Models: 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2001-2005 GMC Sierra
with 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2 - RPOs LB7, LLY)
The Duramax(R) air filter, P/N 25332443, is specific to the diesel engine due to the operating
characteristics of a turbo charged diesel engine. The turbo allows for a much greater air volume
rate than a normal aspirated engine. The Duramax(R) diesel air filter is reinforced to eliminate
damage from the increased airflow of the turbo. The reinforcement is visually identified by the five
ribs of epoxy that lies across the pleats of the clean side of the filter.
If the correct air filter is not used, the filter may collapse or be torn in a Duramax(R) application.
This damage will allow dust and dirt to be ingested into the turbo and engine causing serious
damage. This damage is usually identified at the turbo vanes as well as extreme wear in the
cylinder walls of the engine.
There is evidence of gasoline engine air filters being used in the Duaramax(R) application. The 8.1
gas air filter, P/N 25313349, will fit into the air box of the Duramax(R) diesel; however, it does not
have the required reinforcement of the diesel air filter. The 8.1 liter gas engine air filter should
never be used in a Duramax(R) diesel engine.

with 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel Engine (VINs D, 1, 2 - RPOs LBZ, LB7, LLY)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-01-006B (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important If a cylinder head gasket is found to be absent of thickness grade markings, refer to
Service Bulletin 07-06-01-009 for gasket identification.
A mid-year design change was made to the head gasket of the 2006 Duramax Diesel engine in
December, 2005. This second generation gasket will service all 2001-2006 vehicles, including
those with engines built using first generation gaskets. The second generation gasket will require a
lower head bolt torque angle specification as well as special cleaning methods of the gasket
surfaces.
Gasket Identification
The second generation gasket can be visually identified by its riveted construction, as opposed to
the crimped design of the first generation gasket. Second Generation Head Gasket (Riveted
Construction)
Refer to the above illustration number (1) showing riveted construction. First Generation Head
Gasket (Crimped Construction)
Refer to the above illustration number (1) showing crimped construction.
Special Cleaning Requirements
For 2001-2006 vehicles produced with the first generation head gasket, special attention must be
given to the cleaning of the engine block and cylinder head surfaces when servicing with a second
generation gasket. The crimped areas (1) on the first generation gasket may, over time, allow
corrosion buildup where they contact the block and cylinder head surfaces. The second generation
gasket has raised ribs that seal at these crimped areas (1). A special cleaning procedure is
required to ensure proper sealing.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Cylinder Head Assembly > Cylinder Head Bolts >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Diesel Engine - New Cyl. Head Gasket/Head Bolt Torque > Page
3216
Cleaning Procedure
1. Remove the old head gasket using service manual procedures. Save the gasket for reference
until the repair is completed. 2. Place clean rags in the cylinder bores and pushrod openings in
order to keep out debris. 3. Use the J-28410 or equivalent to carefully clean the gasket sealing
surface of large sealing or corrosion matter. When scraping, take care not to
scratch or gouge the metal surfaces. Do not push the debris into oil, coolant, and combustion
openings or bolt holes.
4. Inspect the gasket sealing surfaces for corrosion, especially in the areas that were in contact
with the crimped tabs of the first generation head
gasket. If corrosion is present, continue with the rest of the steps in this procedure for proper
cleaning. If the sealing surface is sufficiently clean and smooth, use the revised torque specification
listed towards the end of this bulletin and continue with published service manual procedures to
complete the repair.
5. For surfaces that have corrosion or pitting, wrap a piece of flat steel (4"x 2" or larger) with 600
grit wet grade sand paper. Using Moisture
Displacing Lubricant, P/N 88862629 (in Canada, use 89020803) or equivalent, wet sand the block
surface to remove any remaining gasket material or corrosion. Do not use any paper coarser than
600 grit.
Notice
- Do not use any power type sanding devices.
- Do not use a wire brush or wheel to clean gasket surfaces.
- Do not use chemical cleaning agents on gasket surfaces.
6. Take care to keep the sanding block parallel to the block surface and evenly sand the sealing
surface. Some areas of corrosion will still show a
stain. Do not attempt to wet sand these areas down to a shiny metal surface.
7. Change the sanding paper when it becomes clogged. Carefully and frequently wipe the surface,
using a clean cloth each time, to prevent sanding
debris from building up and contaminating the oil and coolant cavities.
8. Clean the bolt threads and holes and remove the rags from the bore cavities and pushrod
openings. 9. Repeat the above cleaning procedure on the cylinder head gasket surface.
10. Clean the engine block and cylinder head gasket surfaces with Brake Parts Cleaner, P/N
88862650 (in Canada, use 88901247) or equivalent, to
remove any traces of oil or debris.
11. Using the revised head bolt torque specification below, reassemble the engine with NEW M12
cylinder head bolts according to service manual
procedures.
Torque Specification Change
The second design head gasket requires a lower torque angle specification for the M12 bolts than
the torque required by the first generation gasket. The M8 bolt torque remains the same for both
designs. The M12 bolts on engines using the second generation head gasket should be torqued
using the angular tightening method to the following specifications:
Important SI will be updated with the revised torque specification.

Bulletin No.: 05-06-01-018B
Date: February 09, 2011
Subject: Accessory Drive Belt Chirp, Squeal or Squeak Type Noise at Cold Idle (Replace A/C
Compressor/Power Steering Pump Mounting Bracket or Enlarge Bracket Bolt Holes)
Models:
2004-2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2006-2010 Chevrolet Express 2004-2010 GMC Sierra 2006-2010
GMC Savana Equipped with 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel Engine (VINs D, 2 - RPOs LBZ, LLY, LMM)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and RPOs. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 05-06-01-018A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Important It should be noted that a chirp type noise on engine shutdown is normal for a diesel
engine due to higher engine compression and the rapid stopping of the crankshaft. No repairs
should be attempted for this condition.
Some customers may comment on an accessory drive belt chirp, squeal, or squeak type noise at
idle, especially on a cold start. The noise may be reduced or go away after the engine warms up.
Cause
Some 2004/2005 Silverado or Sierra trucks, with a 6.6L LLY engine produced before June, 2004,
may have an A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting bracket and power steering rear
mounting bracket that are machined slightly out of specification, causing a misaligned power
steering pump.
If the power steering pump is misaligned, it will force the accessory drive belt to run farther inboard
on the fan pulley. When the belt leaves the fan pulley, the belt will not align properly to the
crankshaft pulley grooves and create a chirp or squeak type noise at the point of interference.
Vehicles built after June 2004 will already have the new A/C compressor/power steering pump
mounting bracket installed, but still may exhibit belt noise caused by the power steering pump rear
mounting bracket.
Correction
Vehicles built prior to June 2004, replace the A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting
bracket.
Vehicles built after June 2004, enlarge the rear power steering pump bracket bolt holes.
1. Follow the published service information (SI) diagnostics for drive belt chirping. The diagnostic
chart for the drive belt chirping will ask to inspect
for a misaligned accessory drive pulley.
Important Remove the top section of the radiator shroud and TCM/cover to gain access to check
alignment and measure the power steering pulley on the power steering pump shaft.
2. Verify that the power steering pulley is properly pressed onto the power steering pump shaft.
Refer to SI for the power steering pulley
replacement. If the pulley needs to be realigned on the power steering pump shaft, follow the
published SI procedures for the power steering pulley replacement.

3. If the noise was not fully eliminated by the procedure in step 2, the power steering pulley may be
adjusted with an allowable maximum variance of
1.0 mm (0.039 in) to the front from the flush position on the shaft to assist in eliminating any
remaining belt noise. Refer to graphic illustration number 1 and number 2. Ensure that the power
steering pump pulley illustration number 1 is flush against the power steering pump shaft illustration
number 2, with an allowable variance of 1.0 mm (0.039 in).
4. If the noise was not fully eliminated by the procedure in step 3, and there are no other concerns
found, follow the published SI diagnostics for
drive belt chirping. Then, if the vehicle was built prior to June 2004 go to step 5. If the vehicle was
built after June 2004, go to step 6.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and RPOs. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 05-06-01-018A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Important It should be noted that a chirp type noise on engine shutdown is normal for a diesel
engine due to higher engine compression and the rapid stopping of the crankshaft. No repairs
should be attempted for this condition.
Some customers may comment on an accessory drive belt chirp, squeal, or squeak type noise at
idle, especially on a cold start. The noise may be reduced or go away after the engine warms up.
Cause
Some 2004/2005 Silverado or Sierra trucks, with a 6.6L LLY engine produced before June, 2004,
may have an A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting bracket and power steering rear
mounting bracket that are machined slightly out of specification, causing a misaligned power
steering pump.
If the power steering pump is misaligned, it will force the accessory drive belt to run farther inboard
on the fan pulley. When the belt leaves the fan pulley, the belt will not align properly to the
crankshaft pulley grooves and create a chirp or squeak type noise at the point of interference.
Vehicles built after June 2004 will already have the new A/C compressor/power steering pump
mounting bracket installed, but still may exhibit belt noise caused by the power steering pump rear
mounting bracket.
Correction
Vehicles built prior to June 2004, replace the A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting
bracket.
Vehicles built after June 2004, enlarge the rear power steering pump bracket bolt holes.
1. Follow the published service information (SI) diagnostics for drive belt chirping. The diagnostic
chart for the drive belt chirping will ask to inspect
for a misaligned accessory drive pulley.
Important Remove the top section of the radiator shroud and TCM/cover to gain access to check
alignment and measure the power steering pulley on the power steering pump shaft.
2. Verify that the power steering pulley is properly pressed onto the power steering pump shaft.
Refer to SI for the power steering pulley
replacement. If the pulley needs to be realigned on the power steering pump shaft, follow the
published SI procedures for the power steering pulley replacement.

3. If the noise was not fully eliminated by the procedure in step 2, the power steering pulley may be
adjusted with an allowable maximum variance of
1.0 mm (0.039 in) to the front from the flush position on the shaft to assist in eliminating any
remaining belt noise. Refer to graphic illustration number 1 and number 2. Ensure that the power
steering pump pulley illustration number 1 is flush against the power steering pump shaft illustration
number 2, with an allowable variance of 1.0 mm (0.039 in).
4. If the noise was not fully eliminated by the procedure in step 3, and there are no other concerns
found, follow the published SI diagnostics for
drive belt chirping. Then, if the vehicle was built prior to June 2004 go to step 5. If the vehicle was
built after June 2004, go to step 6.
5. Vehicles Built Prior to June 2004:
1. Replace the A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting bracket with P/N 97362175. Refer
to graphic illustration number 1. Follow the
published SI procedures for the Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor and Power Steering Pump
Mounting Bracket Replacement.
2. With the new A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting bracket installed, reposition the
power steering pump to gain access to drill
larger holes into the rear mounting bracket using a 14 mm (1/2") drill bit. Drilling the bolt holes
larger will ensure proper alignment of the bracket when installing the bolts. Refer to graphic
illustration number 2.
3. Install the power steering pump to the A/C compressor/power steering pump bracket. Refer to
graphic illustration numbers 4, 2, and 1.
Important Power steering pump front mounting bolts must always be tightened first to ensure
correct pulley alignment.

procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

Models: 2004 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks 2003-2004 and Prior HUMMER H2
All current GM vehicles designed and manufactured in North America were assembled with
serpentine belts that are made with an EPDM material and should last the life of the vehicle. It is
extremely rare to observe any cracks in EPDM belts and it is not expected that they will require
maintenance before 10 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi) of use.
Older style belts, which were manufactured with a chloroprene compound, may exhibit cracks
depending on age. However, the onset of cracking typically signals that the belt is only about
halfway through its usable life.
A good rule of thumb for chloroprene-based belts is that if cracks are observed 3 mm (1/8 in) apart,
ALL AROUND THE BELT, the belt may be reaching the end of its serviceable life and should be
considered a candidate for changing. Small cracks spaced at greater intervals should not be
considered as indicative that the belt needs changing.
Any belt that exhibits chunking should be replaced.

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. There also may be a V-belt style belt used
to drive certain accessory drive components. 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.

Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The chirping noise may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt or the accessory drive
pulleys. In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to spray a small amount
of water onto the drive belt. If spraying water onto the drive belt duplicates the symptom, cleaning
the accessory belt pulleys may be the most probable solution.
A loose or improper installation of a body or suspension component, or other item(s) on the vehicle
may also cause the chirping noise.
Test Description
Steps 1 - 3

Steps 3(continued) - 15
The numbers below refer to the steps in the diagnostic table. 2. The chirping 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. Remove the drive belt and operate the engine for a
few seconds, this will verify if the chirping noise is
related to the drive belt or not. With the drive belt removed the cooling fan will not operate and the
engine may overheat. Also Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set when the engine is operated
with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect the drive belt for signs of pilling. Pilling is the small balls, pills or strings in the drive belt
grooves caused by the accumulation of rubber
dust.
6. Misalignment of the accessory drive pulleys may be caused from improper mounting or incorrect
installation of an accessory drive component, or
the pulley may be bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using
a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found, refer to
that accessory drive component for the proper removal and installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a incorrect bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. 12. Inspection of the accessory drive pulleys should include inspecting for
bends, dents, or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive
belt from seating properly in the pulley grooves, or on the smooth surface of the pulley when the
back side of the drive belt is used to drive the pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Excessive Wear
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by incorrect installation or the incorrect drive belt
for the application.
Minor misalignment of the accessory drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will
probably cause the drive belt to make a noise or fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the accessory drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear and may also
make the drive belt fall off.
Test Description
Steps 1 - 6
The numbers below refer to the steps in the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify the drive
belt is correctly installed on all of the accessory drive pulleys. Wear on the drive belt may be
caused by
mis-positioning the drive belt by one groove on a pulleys.
3. 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 the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not contacting any part of the engine or body while the
engine is operating. There should be sufficient
clearance when the accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt should not come in
contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off
Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the accessory drive belt pulleys, this may be caused by a pulley
misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied or released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off. Verify that the accessory drive components are operating properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not maintain the proper tension
on the drive belt.

condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off.
Inspect the drive
belt for cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the accessory drive pulleys may be caused from improper mounting or incorrect
installation of an accessory drive component, or
the pulley may be bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using
a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found, refer to
that accessory drive component for the proper removal and installation procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspection of the accessory drive pulleys should include inspecting for bends, dents, or other
damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive
belt from seating properly in the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the drive belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will also cause the drive belt to fall
off. 7. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a incorrect bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. Missing, loose, or incorrect
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the accessory drive brackets moving under load.
Over tightening the fasteners may cause misalignment of the accessory component brackets.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling
Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to
make rumbling noise.
The drive belt may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt
may be the only repair for the symptom.
If, after replacing the drive belt and completing the diagnostic table, the rumbling is only heard with
the drive belt installed, there might be an accessory drive component failure. Varying the load on
the accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the rumbling
noise.

4. The drive belt may cause a vibration. While the drive belt is removed this is the best time to
inspect the condition of the drive belt. 6. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility
that a incorrect bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 8. This step should only be performed if
the fan is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the engine cooling fan for bent, twisted, loose, or cracked
blades.
Inspect the fan clutch for smooth operation. Inspect for a bent fan shaft or bent mounting flange.
9. Inspect the water pump drive 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.
10. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put an extra strain on
that accessory drive component causing it to
vibrate.
Drive Belt Whine
Drive Belt Whine Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The drive belt will not cause the whine. If the whine is intermittent, verify that it is not the accessory
drive components by varying their loads, making sure they are operating to their maximum
capacity. An overcharged air conditioning (A/C) system, a power steering system restriction or the
incorrect fluid, or a failing generator are suggested items to inspect.

Steps 3 - 5
The numbers below refer to the steps in the diagnostic table. 3. This test is to verify that the whine
is being caused by the accessory drive components. Remove the drive belt and operate the engine
for a few
seconds, this will verify if the whining noise is related to the accessory drive component. With the
drive belt removed the cooling fan will not operate and the engine may overheat. Also Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set when the engine is operated with the drive belt removed.
4. The inspection should include checking the drive belt tensioner and the drive belt idler pulley
bearings. The drive belt may have to be installed and
the accessory drive components operated separately by varying their loads. Refer to the suspected
accessory drive component for the proper removal and replacement procedure.

Subject: Accessory Drive Belt Chirp, Squeal or Squeak Type Noise at Cold Idle (Replace A/C
Compressor/Power Steering Pump Mounting Bracket or Enlarge Bracket Bolt Holes)
Models:
2004-2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2006-2010 Chevrolet Express 2004-2010 GMC Sierra 2006-2010
GMC Savana Equipped with 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel Engine (VINs D, 2 - RPOs LBZ, LLY, LMM)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and RPOs. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 05-06-01-018A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Important It should be noted that a chirp type noise on engine shutdown is normal for a diesel
engine due to higher engine compression and the rapid stopping of the crankshaft. No repairs
should be attempted for this condition.
Some customers may comment on an accessory drive belt chirp, squeal, or squeak type noise at
idle, especially on a cold start. The noise may be reduced or go away after the engine warms up.
Cause
Some 2004/2005 Silverado or Sierra trucks, with a 6.6L LLY engine produced before June, 2004,
may have an A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting bracket and power steering rear
mounting bracket that are machined slightly out of specification, causing a misaligned power
steering pump.
If the power steering pump is misaligned, it will force the accessory drive belt to run farther inboard
on the fan pulley. When the belt leaves the fan pulley, the belt will not align properly to the
crankshaft pulley grooves and create a chirp or squeak type noise at the point of interference.
Vehicles built after June 2004 will already have the new A/C compressor/power steering pump
mounting bracket installed, but still may exhibit belt noise caused by the power steering pump rear
mounting bracket.
Correction
Vehicles built prior to June 2004, replace the A/C compressor/power steering pump mounting
bracket.
Vehicles built after June 2004, enlarge the rear power steering pump bracket bolt holes.
1. Follow the published service information (SI) diagnostics for drive belt chirping. The diagnostic
chart for the drive belt chirping will ask to inspect
for a misaligned accessory drive pulley.
Important Remove the top section of the radiator shroud and TCM/cover to gain access to check
alignment and measure the power steering pulley on the power steering pump shaft.
2. Verify that the power steering pulley is properly pressed onto the power steering pump shaft.
Refer to SI for the power steering pulley
replacement. If the pulley needs to be realigned on the power steering pump shaft, follow the
published SI procedures for the power steering pulley replacement.

Information on Engine Oil Consumption Guidelines for the 6.6L Duramax Diesel Engine.
All engines require oil to lubricate and protect the load bearing and internal moving parts from wear
including cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings. When a piston moves down its cylinder, a thin film
of oil is left on the cylinder wall. During the combustion process, part of this oil layer is consumed.
As a result, varying rates of oil consumption are accepted as normal in all engines.
Oil Consumption
Oil usage has a direct relationship with the amount of fuel used. The harder an engine works, the
more fuel and oil it will use. Therefore, oil usage as a factor of fuel usage is a more accurate
indicator of acceptable oil consumption levels than vehicle mileage.
The accepted rate of oil consumption for the 6.6L Duramax(TM) Diesel engine is 0.946 liter (1 qt)
within 379 liters (100 gallons) of fuel used. This rate only applies to vehicles under warranty,
maintained in accordance with the appropriate maintenance schedule, driven at legal speeds and
within design intent of the vehicle.
Many factors can affect an owner's concern with oil consumption. Driving habits and vehicle
maintenance vary from owner to owner. Thoroughly evaluate each case before deciding whether
the vehicle in question has abnormal engine oil consumption.
Gasket and External Leaks
Inspect the oil pans, engine covers, and the engine oil cooler for leakage. Inspect the turbocharger
oil lines and fittings for signs of leakage. Inspect the turbocharger outlet pipe for signs of oil,
indicating worn turbocharger shaft bushings or seals. Inspect for oil leakage into the engine
coolant.
Improper Reading of the Oil Level Indicator (Dipstick)
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface to obtain accurate oil level readings. Verify that the
dipstick tube is fully seated in the block. When checking the oil level, make sure the dipstick is
wiped clean before taking an oil level reading and fully depress the dipstick until the shoulder
bottoms out on the dipstick tube. The dipstick should be the proper part number for the
engine/vehicle that is being checked.
Not Waiting Long Enough After Running Engine to Check Oil Level
The vehicle should be allowed to sit for at least 15 minutes, after the engine has been shut off,
before taking an oil level reading to assure the oil has had enough time to drain back into the
crankcase. In order to ensure accurate results, the temperature of the oil should be close to the
same temperature as the last time the oil level was checked.
Improper Oil Fill After an Oil Change
Following an oil change, verify that the proper amount and type of oil was put in the engine and that
the oil level on the dipstick is not above the full mark or below the add marks. Refer to the Owner's
Manual or Service Manual for information on recommended oil quantity, viscosity, and quality.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Engine Oil > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Diesel Engine - Greater Than Expected Oil Consumption > Page 3423
Diesel engines require a CH-4 or CG-4 oil rating.
High Speed or High RPM Driving
Continuous driving at high speeds/high RPMs may increase oil consumption. Because this may not
always be an everyday occurrence, it is hard to determine exactly how much the oil economy will
be affected.
Towing or Heavy Usage
Towing a trailer or hauling additional weight will increase oil consumption. Large frontal area trailers
will further increase the work required from the engine, especially at highway speeds, and thus
increases the rate of oil consumption.
PTO Operation
Operation of a PTO will increase fuel and oil usage, as the PTO driven accessory uses engine
power to operate.
Crankcase Ventilation System
Verify that the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is operating properly. Blockages,
restrictions or damage to the PCV system can result in increased oil use.
Oil Dilution from Condensation
On vehicles that are usually driven short distances, less than 8 km (5 mi), especially in colder
weather, condensation generated from cold engine operation may not get hot enough to evaporate
out of the oil. When this occurs, the dipstick may indicate that the oil level is over-full. Subsequent
driving on a trip of sufficient length to enable normal engine operating temperature for 30 minutes
or more, in order to vaporize excess moisture, may give the customer the impression of excessive
oil consumption.
Engine Temperature
If an engine is run at overheated temperatures (see Owner's Manual or Service Manual) for more
than brief periods, oil will oxidize at a faster than normal rate. In addition, gaskets may distort,
piston rings may stick, and excessive wear may result. verify that all cooling system components
are in proper working order.
Engine Wear
Piston scuffing, excessive piston-to-wall clearance, tapered or out of round cylinders, worn,
damaged or improperly installed valve guides, seals and piston rings will all cause an increase in
oil consumption.
Measurement of Oil Consumption
Engines require a period of time to BREAK IN so that moving parts are properly seated. Therefore,
oil economy should not be tested until the vehicle has accumulated at least 8000 km (5000 mi) and
the oil has been changed for the first time. During initial engine break-in periods before the first oil
change, oil consumption may exceed 1.9 liters (2 quarts) or more per 379 liters (100 gallons) of fuel
used.
1. Verify that the engine has no external leaks. Repair as necessary.
2. Begin oil consumption test after next regularly scheduled oil and filter change. Oil changes
should not be performed during the test.
3. Verify that the engine is at normal operating temperature (see Owner's Manual or Service
Manual).
4. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
5. Wait at least 15 minutes, after the engine is shut off, before checking the oil level to make sure
that most of the oil has had time to drain back into the crankcase.
6. Verify that the oil level is at, but not above, the full mark on the dipstick and that the proper
viscosity and quality oil are being used as recommended in the Owner's Manual.

7. Dealer should record the vehicle mileage, date and engine hours at the start of the test on the
Oil Consumption Worksheet shown.
8. Ask the customer to verify and record the date, odometer, oil level, fuel added, and engine
hours, each time the vehicle is fueled, following steps 3-5 and return the vehicle to the dealership if
the oil level is found at or below the add mark, 0.946 liter (1 qt) low, if possible. The dealer will add
oil to return the oil level to full. If the oil level remains above the add mark, the customer should
continue to operate the vehicle and verify the engine oil level until either the oil level drops to or
below the add mark or at least 4800 km (3000 mi) has accumulated since the test began before
returning to the dealership for a final evaluation.
9. If the final evaluation shows that the engine uses more than 0.946 liter (1 qt) in 379 liters (100
gallons) of fuel used, follow the published symptom diagnostics as described in the appropriate
Service Manual. If the oil consumption test shows that the engine uses less than 0.946 liter (1 qt) in
379 liters (100 gallons) of fuel used, explain to the customer that their engine meets the guidelines
for oil consumption.

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).

Notice:
Before installing a new turbocharger, clean any debris or excessive oil from the charge air cooler
and intake system in order to prevent damage to the new turbocharger or an engine overspeed
condition.
Spun Camshaft Bearing
If a turbocharger performance concern is thought to be caused from a deficiency of engine oil, the
camshaft bearing should be checked. The number 4 camshaft bearing bore feeds the turbocharger
engine oil supply hose. If this camshaft bearing spins in the bore, the turbocharger will be deprived
of engine oil. This will cause a performance concern with the turbocharger. Incorrect diagnosis of
this condition will result in a repeat performance concern with the turbocharger.
Camshaft Bearing Inspection
If the turbocharger has to be replaced, perform the following procedure in order to verify the
condition of the number 4 camshaft bearing before installing a new turbocharger.
1. Remove the turbocharger. Refer to Service Information (SI) procedures for Turbocharger
Replacement.
2. Remove the turbocharger oil supply hose.
3. Visually inspect for correct alignment of the number 4 camshaft bearing oil hole (Refer to
illustration callout 4) through the turbocharger oil supply hole in the block (Refer to illustration
callout 1). The camshaft journal oil groove (Refer to illustration callout 3) should be visible through
the camshaft bearing oil hole (Refer to illustration callout 4).
4. Turn the engine over by hand a 1/2 turn. The camshaft journal oil groove (Refer to illustration

camshaft bearing oil hole (Refer to illustration callout 4) as the engine is turned.
5. If the camshaft bearing (Refer to illustration callout 2) has spun, the camshaft bearing oil hole
(Refer to illustration callout 4) will either not be visible at all or it will be misaligned with the
turbocharger oil supply hole during the inspection procedure. In the event of a spun camshaft
bearing, the engine must be replaced.
Restricted Turbocharger Oil Supply Hose
If a lack of oil is suspected, the turbocharger oil supply hose should also be checked for damage.
The turbocharger oil feed line is a high pressure plastic tube that is protected by a stainless steel
braided covering. If it is twisted at all or bent too far during turbocharger removal, the plastic line
may fold and kink. The kink may cause an oil flow restriction. If the plastic pipe does kink, it will not
return back to its normal size and shape. The damage may not be obvious upon inspection
because the braided steel covering will hide the deformity.
LB7 Turbocharger Replacement
During turbocharger removal on the 6.6L LB7 engine, the turbocharger oil feed line can be pulled
directly away from the turbocharger body in a perpendicular fashion. Care must be taken to avoid
excessive bending of the line.
LBZ, LLY or LMM Turbocharger Replacement
During repairs on the 6.6L LBZ, LLY or LMM engine, the EGR cooler does not allow enough
perpendicular movement of the line to clear the turbocharger for removal. However, the line can be
pushed straight forward of the turbocharger with less risk of kinking the line. Assistance may be
required to keep the lines clear of the turbocharger during removal or installation.
Notice:
Do not twist the turbocharger oil supply line. Twisting of the line will result in the collapse and
deformation of the plastic line, restricting oil flow and causing turbocharger performance concerns.

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
2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
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.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-01-006B (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important If a cylinder head gasket is found to be absent of thickness grade markings, refer to
Service Bulletin 07-06-01-009 for gasket identification.
A mid-year design change was made to the head gasket of the 2006 Duramax Diesel engine in
December, 2005. This second generation gasket will service all 2001-2006 vehicles, including
those with engines built using first generation gaskets. The second generation gasket will require a
lower head bolt torque angle specification as well as special cleaning methods of the gasket
surfaces.
Gasket Identification
The second generation gasket can be visually identified by its riveted construction, as opposed to
the crimped design of the first generation gasket. Second Generation Head Gasket (Riveted
Construction)
Refer to the above illustration number (1) showing riveted construction. First Generation Head
Gasket (Crimped Construction)
Refer to the above illustration number (1) showing crimped construction.
Special Cleaning Requirements
For 2001-2006 vehicles produced with the first generation head gasket, special attention must be
given to the cleaning of the engine block and cylinder head surfaces when servicing with a second
generation gasket. The crimped areas (1) on the first generation gasket may, over time, allow
corrosion buildup where they contact the block and cylinder head surfaces. The second generation
gasket has raised ribs that seal at these crimped areas (1). A special cleaning procedure is
required to ensure proper sealing.

Page 3566
Cleaning Procedure
1. Remove the old head gasket using service manual procedures. Save the gasket for reference
until the repair is completed. 2. Place clean rags in the cylinder bores and pushrod openings in
order to keep out debris. 3. Use the J-28410 or equivalent to carefully clean the gasket sealing
surface of large sealing or corrosion matter. When scraping, take care not to
scratch or gouge the metal surfaces. Do not push the debris into oil, coolant, and combustion
openings or bolt holes.
4. Inspect the gasket sealing surfaces for corrosion, especially in the areas that were in contact
with the crimped tabs of the first generation head
gasket. If corrosion is present, continue with the rest of the steps in this procedure for proper
cleaning. If the sealing surface is sufficiently clean and smooth, use the revised torque specification
listed towards the end of this bulletin and continue with published service manual procedures to
complete the repair.
5. For surfaces that have corrosion or pitting, wrap a piece of flat steel (4"x 2" or larger) with 600
grit wet grade sand paper. Using Moisture
Displacing Lubricant, P/N 88862629 (in Canada, use 89020803) or equivalent, wet sand the block
surface to remove any remaining gasket material or corrosion. Do not use any paper coarser than
600 grit.
Notice
- Do not use any power type sanding devices.
- Do not use a wire brush or wheel to clean gasket surfaces.
- Do not use chemical cleaning agents on gasket surfaces.
6. Take care to keep the sanding block parallel to the block surface and evenly sand the sealing
surface. Some areas of corrosion will still show a
stain. Do not attempt to wet sand these areas down to a shiny metal surface.
7. Change the sanding paper when it becomes clogged. Carefully and frequently wipe the surface,
using a clean cloth each time, to prevent sanding
debris from building up and contaminating the oil and coolant cavities.
8. Clean the bolt threads and holes and remove the rags from the bore cavities and pushrod
openings. 9. Repeat the above cleaning procedure on the cylinder head gasket surface.
10. Clean the engine block and cylinder head gasket surfaces with Brake Parts Cleaner, P/N
88862650 (in Canada, use 88901247) or equivalent, to
remove any traces of oil or debris.
11. Using the revised head bolt torque specification below, reassemble the engine with NEW M12
cylinder head bolts according to service manual
procedures.
Torque Specification Change
The second design head gasket requires a lower torque angle specification for the M12 bolts than
the torque required by the first generation gasket. The M8 bolt torque remains the same for both
designs. The M12 bolts on engines using the second generation head gasket should be torqued
using the angular tightening method to the following specifications:
Important SI will be updated with the revised torque specification.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

Subject: Information on the Proper Air Filter for the Duramax(R) Diesel
Models: 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2001-2005 GMC Sierra
with 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2 - RPOs LB7, LLY)
The Duramax(R) air filter, P/N 25332443, is specific to the diesel engine due to the operating
characteristics of a turbo charged diesel engine. The turbo allows for a much greater air volume
rate than a normal aspirated engine. The Duramax(R) diesel air filter is reinforced to eliminate
damage from the increased airflow of the turbo. The reinforcement is visually identified by the five
ribs of epoxy that lies across the pleats of the clean side of the filter.
If the correct air filter is not used, the filter may collapse or be torn in a Duramax(R) application.
This damage will allow dust and dirt to be ingested into the turbo and engine causing serious
damage. This damage is usually identified at the turbo vanes as well as extreme wear in the
cylinder walls of the engine.
There is evidence of gasoline engine air filters being used in the Duaramax(R) application. The 8.1
gas air filter, P/N 25313349, will fit into the air box of the Duramax(R) diesel; however, it does not
have the required reinforcement of the diesel air filter. The 8.1 liter gas engine air filter should
never be used in a Duramax(R) diesel engine.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Fuel
Filter > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel System - Improved Fuel Filter Design > Page 3699
^ Improved fuel system protection with some premium diesel and B5 biodiesel blends
^ Equivalent coarse water droplet removal efficiency of previous design
^ Greatly improved removal of emulsified water - a major contributor to fuel system issues
Proper fuel filter servicing and the use of clean diesel fuel that is free of water or contaminants are
critical for the longevity of fuel system components of a modern direct injected diesel engine.
Adherence to the fuel filter change interval will help to ensure that the Duramax fuel system will be
protected from contaminants and that the engine will continue to operate as designed. Purchasing
fuel from a high volume fuel retailer increases the chances that the fuel is fresh and of good quality.

Fuel Filter: Service and Repair Fuel System Priming
FUEL SYSTEM PRIMING
IMPORTANT: In order for the DURAMAX diesel engine fuel system to work properly, the fuel lines
must be full of fuel and contain no air. If air gets into the fuel lines, it will be necessary to prime the
fuel system to eliminate the air before operating the vehicle. Air could have entered to system in
one of the following ways:
- The vehicle ran out of fuel.
- The filter was removed for service or replacement.
- The fuel lines were removed or disconnected for servicing.
- The fuel filter water drain cock was opened while the engine was running.
If one or more of the above occurred, air has entered the fuel system and you will need to prime
the system prior to operating the vehicle.
1. Prior to priming the engine, ensure that the following is complete:
- There is fuel in the fuel tank.
- The fuel filter has been installed and properly tightened.
- The fuel lines are properly connected.
- The fuel filter is cool to the touch.
- Any dirt or debris is removed from the fuel filter head and vent valve.
2. Open the vent valve by turning the screw counterclockwise several full turns.

3. Operate the priming pump until a small amount of fuel seeps from the vent valve. allow the pump
to return upwards between pumps. When fuel is
present, the filter is full of fuel and the system should be primed.
4. Close the vent valve. 5. Clean any fuel which accumulated on the fuel filter. 6. Start the engine
and allow it to idle for a few minutes. 7. Check the filter for leaks.

Leak detection dye P/N 12378563 (J 29545-6) (in Canada P/N 88900915) may cause
DEX-COOL(R) coolant to appear green in a black vessel making it appear to be conventional
(green) coolant. This may cause a technician to add conventional coolant to a low DEX-COOL(R)
system thus contaminating it. The green DEX-COOL(R) appearance is caused by the color of the
leak detection dye which alters the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant.
A new leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (J 46366) (in Canada P/N 89022220) has been released
that does not alter the appearance of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant. When adding the new leak
detection dye the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant will not change. For detecting leaks on any
system that uses DEX-COOL(R) leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (in Canada P/N 89022220)
should be used. The new leak detection dye can be used with both conventional and
DEX-COOL(R) coolant.

Coolant Reimbursement Policy
General Motors supports the use of recycled engine coolant for warranty repairs/service, providing
a GM approved engine coolant recycling system is used. Recycled coolant will be reimbursed at
the GMSPO dealer price for new coolant plus the appropriate mark-up. When coolant replacement
is required during a warranty repair, it is crucial that only the relative amount of engine coolant
concentrate be charged, not the total diluted volume. In other words: if you are using two gallons of
pre-diluted (50:50) recycled engine coolant to service a vehicle, you may request reimbursement
for one gallon of GM Goodwrench engine coolant concentrate at the dealer price plus the
appropriate warranty parts handling allowance.
Licensed Approved DEX-COOL(R) Providers
Important:
USE OF NON-APPROVED VIRGIN OR RECYCLED DEX-COOL(R) OR DEVIATIONS IN THE
FORM OF ALTERNATE CHEMICALS OR ALTERATION OF EQUIPMENT, WILL VOID THE GM
ENDORSEMENT, MAY DEGRADE COOLANT SYSTEM INTEGRITY AND PLACE THE
COOLING SYSTEM WARRANTY UNDER JEOPARDY.
Shown in Table 1 are the only current licensed and approved providers of DEX-COOL(R). Products
that are advertised as "COMPATIBLE" or "RECOMMENDED" for use with DEX-COOL(R) have not
been tested or approved by General Motors. Non-approved coolants may degrade the
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))

Technical Service Bulletins > Cooling System - DEX-COOL(R) Coolant Leak Detection Dye > Page 3739
coolant system integrity and will no longer be considered a 5 yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) coolant.
Coolant Removal Services/Recycling
The tables include all coolant recycling processes currently approved by GM. Also included is a
primary phone number and demographic information. Used DEX-COOL(R) can be combined with
used conventional coolant (green) for recycling. Depending on the recycling service and/or
equipment, it is then designated as a conventional 2 yr/30,000 mile (50,000 km) coolant or
DEX-COOL(R) 5 yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) coolant. Recycled coolants as designated in this
bulletin may be used during the vehicle(s) warranty period.
DEX-COOL(R) Recycling
The DEX-COOL(R) recycling service listed in Table 2 has been approved for recycling waste
engine coolants (DEX-COOL) or conventional) to DEX-COOL(R) with 5 yr/150,000 mile (240,000
km) usability. Recycling Fluid Technologies is the only licensed provider of Recycled
DEX-COOL(R) meeting GM6277M specifications and utilizes GM approved inhibitor packages.
This is currently a limited program being monitored by GM Service Operations which will be
expanded as demand increases.
Conventional (Green) Recycling
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Coolant > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Cooling System - DEX-COOL(R) Coolant Leak Detection Dye > Page 3740
Processes shown in the Table 3 are capable of recycling waste engine coolants (DEX-COOL(R) or
conventional) to a conventional (green) coolant. Recycling conventional coolant can be
accomplished at your facility by a technician using approved EQUIPMENT (listed by model number
in Table 3), or by an approved coolant recycling SERVICE which may recycle the coolant at your
facility or at an offsite operation. Refer to the table for GM approved coolant recyclers in either of
these two categories. Should you decide to recycle the coolant yourself, strict adherence to the
operating procedures is imperative. Use ONLY the inhibitor chemicals supplied by the respective
(GM approved) recycling equipment manufacturer.
Sealing Tablets
Cooling System Sealing Tablets (Seal Tabs) should not be used as a regular maintenance item
after servicing an engine cooling system. Discoloration of coolant can occur if too many seal tabs
have been inserted into the cooling system. This can occur if seal tabs are repeatedly used over
the service life of a vehicle. Where appropriate, seal tabs may be used if diagnostics fail to repair a
small leak in the cooling system. When a condition appears in which seal tabs may be
recommended, a specific bulletin will be released describing their proper usage.
Water Quality
The integrity of the coolant is dependent upon the quality of DEX-COOL(R) and water.
DEX-COOL(R) is a product that has enhanced protection capability as well as an extended service
interval. These enhanced properties may be jeopardized by combining DEX-COOL(R) with poor
quality water. If you suspect the water in your area of being poor quality, it is recommended you
use distilled or de-ionized water with DEX-COOL(R).
"Pink" DEX-COOL(R)
DEX-COOL(R) is orange in color to distinguish it from other coolants. Due to inconsistencies in the
mixing of the dyes used with DEX-COOL(R), some batches may appear pink after time. The color
shift from orange to pink does not affect the integrity of the coolant, and still maintains the 5
yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) service interval.
Back Service
Only use DEX-COOL(R) if the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R).
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Coolant > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Cooling System - DEX-COOL(R) Coolant Leak Detection Dye > Page 3741
Contamination
Mixing conventional green coolant with DEX-COOL(R) will degrade the service interval from 5
yrs./150,000 miles (240,000 km) to 2 yrs./30,000 miles (50,000 km) if left in the contaminated
condition. If contamination occurs, the cooling system must be flushed twice immediately and
re-filled with a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL(R) and clean water in order to preserve the enhanced
properties and extended service interval of DEX-COOL(R).
After 5 years/150,000 miles (240,000 km)
After 5 yrs/150,000 miles (240,000 km), the coolant should be changed, preferably using a coolant
exchanger. If the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R) and has not had problems
with contamination from non-DEX-COOL(R) coolants, then the service interval remains the same,
and the coolant does not need to be changed for another 5 yrs/150,000 miles (240,000 km)
Equipment (Coolant Exchangers)
The preferred method of performing coolant replacement is to use a coolant exchanger. A coolant
exchanger can replace virtually all of the old coolant with new coolant. Coolant exchangers can be
used to perform coolant replacement without spillage, and facilitate easy waste collection. They
can also be used to lower the coolant level in a vehicle to allow for less messy servicing of cooling
system components. It is recommended that you use a coolant exchanger with a vacuum feature
facilitates removing trapped air from the cooling system. This is a substantial time savings over
repeatedly thermo cycling the vehicle and topping-off the radiator. The vacuum feature also allows
venting of a hot system to relieve system pressure. Approved coolant exchangers are available
through the GMDE (General Motors Dealer Equipment) program.
For refilling a cooling system that has been partially or fully drained for repairs other than coolant
replacement, the Vac-N-Fill Coolant Refill Tool (GE-47716) is recommended to facilitate removal of
trapped air from the cooling system during refill.

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 you use the proper coolant, you do not have to add extra inhibitors or additives which
claim to improve the system. These can be harmful.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

TECHNICAL
Subject: Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1172 or P2636, Fuel Gauge Reads Empty, Service
Engine Soon (SES) Light On (Relocate Auxiliary Fuel Tank Vent Hose)
Models: 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado (Cab Chassis Models Only) 2001-2005 GMC Sierra (Cab

with Auxiliary Fuel Tank
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to clarify the difference between the auxiliary fuel tank balance hose
and vent hose. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-04-008 (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the SES light comes on and the fuel gauge reads empty.
when This may occur when the vehicle is parked on an incline with the engine running.
Diagnosis with a scan tool may reveal a DTC P1172 and/or P2636.
Cause
Important:
A similar condition may occur if the vehicle is fueled with the engine running AND the rear tank is
fueled first. The engine must be shut off (as required by law) during vehicle refueling.
The auxiliary fuel tank vent hose is located in the same "T" connection on the main tank vent hose
as the auxiliary tank balance hose. During fuel transfer, the fuel is pumped out of the auxiliary tank
to the main tank via the balance hose. The fuel is then sucked back into the auxiliary tank via the
vent hose rather then dumping the fuel into the main tank. When the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not detect a fluid level transfer between the main tank and the auxiliary tank, the PCM
shuts off the auxiliary tank pump and the fuel gauge goes to empty.
Correction
Follow the service procedure below to correct this condition.
1. Depending on the body upfitter, it may be necessary to raise the vehicle in order to gain access
to the auxiliary tank balance hose.
2. Depending on the body upfitter, it may be necessary to remove the left rear tire/wheel
assemblies in order to gain access to the auxiliary tank balance hose.

Subject: Information On Aluminum Heater Core and/or Radiator Replacement
Models: 2005 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2005
HUMMER H2
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 05-06-02-001 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important:
2004-05 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX-COOL(R). Refer to the
flushing procedure explained later in this bulletin.
The following information should be utilized when servicing aluminum heater core and/or radiators
on repeat visits. A replacement may be necessary because erosion, corrosion, or insufficient
inhibitor levels may cause damage to the heater core, radiator or water pump. A coolant check
should be performed whenever a heater core, radiator, or water pump is replaced. The following
procedures/ inspections should be done to verify proper coolant effectiveness.
Caution:
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 under pressure if the radiator cap or surge
tank cap is removed while the engine and radiator are still hot.
Important:
If the vehicle's coolant is low, drained out, or the customer has repeatedly added coolant or water
to the system, then the system should be completely flushed using the procedure explained later in
this bulletin.
Technician Diagnosis
^ Verify coolant concentration. A 50% coolant/water solution ensures proper freeze and corrosion
protection. Inhibitor levels cannot be easily measured in the field, but can be indirectly done by the
measurement of coolant concentration. This must be done by using a Refractometer J 23688
(Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale), or equivalent, coolant tester. The Refractometer
uses a minimal amount of coolant that can be taken from the coolant recovery reservoir, radiator or
the engine block. Inexpensive gravity float testers (floating balls) will not completely analyze the
coolant concentration fully and should not be used. The concentration levels should be between
50% and 65% coolant concentrate. This mixture will have a freeze point protection of -34 degrees
Fahrenheit (-37 degrees Celsius). If the concentration is below 50%, the cooling system must be
flushed.
^ Inspect the coolant flow restrictor if the vehicle is equipped with one. Refer to Service Information
(SI) and/or the appropriate Service Manual for component location and condition for operation.
^ Verify that no electrolysis is present in the cooling system. This electrolysis test can be performed
before or after the system has been repaired. Use a digital voltmeter set to 12 volts. Attach one test
lead to the negative battery post and insert the other test lead into the radiator coolant, making sure
the lead does not touch the filler neck or core. Any voltage reading over 0.3 volts indicates that
stray current is finding its way into the coolant. Electrolysis is often an intermittent condition that
occurs when a device or accessory that is mounted to the radiator is energized. This type of current
could be caused from a poorly grounded cooling fan or some other accessory and can be verified
by watching the volt meter and turning on and off various accessories or engage the starter motor.
Before using one of the following flush procedures, the coolant recovery reservoir must be
removed, drained, cleaned and reinstalled before refilling the system.
Notice:
^ Using coolant other than DEX‐COOL(R) 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(R) (silicate free) coolant in your vehicle.
^ 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.

Technical Service Bulletins > Cooling System, A/C - Aluminum Heater Cores/Radiators > Page 3855
Flushing Procedures using DEX-COOL(R)
Important:
The following procedure recommends refilling the system with DEX-COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in
Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M. This coolant is orange in color and has a
service interval of 5 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi). However, when used on vehicles built prior
to the introduction of DEX-COOL(R), maintenance intervals will remain the same as specified in the
Owner's Manual.
^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM
Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions.
^ If approved cooling system flush and fill machine is not available, drain the coolant and dispose of
properly following the draining procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system
using clear, drinkable water and run the vehicle until the thermostat opens. Repeat and run the
vehicle three (3) times to totally remove the old coolant or until the drained coolant is almost clear.
Once the system is completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with
DEX‐COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M,
following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual.
If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% DEX-COOL(R),
P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M. Then slowly add clear,
drinkable water (preferably distilled) to the system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached
the base of the radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and reverify the coolant level. If necessary, add
clean water to restore the coolant to the appropriate level.
Once the system is refilled, reverify the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688
(Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. The concentration
levels should be between 50% and 65%.
Flushing Procedures using Conventional Silicated (Green Colored) Coolant
Important:
2004-2005 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX‐COOL(R).
The Aveo and Wave are filled with conventional, silicated engine coolant that is blue in color.
Silicated coolants are typically green in color and are required to be drained, flushed and refilled
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The Aveo and Wave are to be serviced with conventional, silicated
coolant. Use P/N 12378560 (1 gal) (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 (1 L). Refer to the Owner's
Manual or Service Information (SI) for further information on OEM coolant.
Important:
Do not mix the OEM orange colored DEX-COOL(R) coolant with green colored coolant when
adding coolant to the system or when servicing the vehicle's cooling system. Mixing the orange and
green colored coolants will produce a brown coolant which may be a customer dissatisfier and will
not extend the service interval to that of DEX-COOL(R). Conventional silicated coolants offered by
GM Service and Parts Operations are green in color.
^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM
Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions.
^ If approved cooling systems flush and fill machine is not available, drain coolant and dispose of
properly following the draining procedures in appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system using
clear, drinkable water and run vehicle until thermostat opens. Repeat and run vehicle three (3)
times to totally remove old coolant or until drained coolant is almost clear. Once the system is
completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with a good quality
ethylene glycol base engine coolant, P/N 12378560, 1 gal (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 1 L),
conforming to GM specification 1825M, or recycled coolant conforming to GM specification 1825M,
following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual.
If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% good quality
ethylene glycol base (green colored) engine coolant, P/N 12378560 1 gal., (in Canada, use P/N
88862159 1 L) conforming to GM specification 1825M. Then slowly add clear, drinkable water
(preferably distilled) to system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached the base of the
radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and recheck coolant level. If necessary, add clean water to
restore coolant to the appropriate level.
Once the system is refilled, recheck the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688
(Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. Concentration levels
should be between 50% and 65%.

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.

PPS sensor harness is located under the front passenger seat. This harness may be pinched
between the seat frame and the track/riser.
Correction
Locate the PPS sensor (1) and inspect the harness for proper routing. If the harness is pinched
between the seat frame and the track/riser, use the procedure listed below to repair wire(s).
1. Move the front passenger seat to the full rearward and full tilt up position.
2. Loosen the seat frame to track/riser nut and remove the harness.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the correction information. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-08-50-016B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that with repeated cycling of the memory seat between the "exit"
and one of the "presets", the position of the seat may "creep" forward or rearward out of expected
adjustment.
Cause
There is a coding deficiency in the software for the memory seat module.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the driver seat module with an updated software calibration. The
previous bulletin stated to use a service calibration that was released with TIS satellite data update
version 4.5. Feedback has proved that calibration to be ineffective in eliminating the memory seat
creep condition. An updated service calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version
6.5 available June 13, 2005. This new calibration has additional memory seat creep protection. As
always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
Important:
After programming is complete, move the seat all the way rearward and down, then bump the seat
slightly forward and up. This position will be just off the end of travel hard stops. Reset both
memory seat exit positions at this position. Having the seat set at just off the hard stops will aid in
reducing the creep condition.

Attention:
This Service Bulletin DOES NOT include Mid-Size Utilities such as Buick Rainier, Chevrolet
TrailBlazer Models, GMC Envoy Models or Oldsmobile Bravada. Refer to Service Bulletin
02-02-35-006A or newer for Mid-Size Utilities.
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add diagnostic information (refer to Diagnostic Tips) to check the
lower steering column bearing as a potential source of the noise. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-02-35-003M (Section 02-Steering).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a clunk-type noise coming from under the hood that also can be
felt in the steering wheel. These conditions may be more noticeable when turning at low speeds on
rough road surfaces.
Diagnostic Tips
Use the information below to help diagnose the source of the noise.
^ The lower steering column bearing may create the same noise as the intermediate shaft. Before
replacing the I-shaft, verify the noise isn't being caused by movement from the lower steering
column bearing. Check the bearing for movement by pushing up and down on the I-shaft where it
attaches to the steering column.
^ Frame Snap and/or Popping Type Noise - A frame snap or popping type noise can be duplicated
on rough or smooth road surfaces with steering wheel input to the left or the right. This type of
noise can be HEARD and is typically louder with the windows rolled down. For additional
information refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-08-61-002F or newer - Snap/Popping Type
Noise Coming from Front of Vehicle (Remove Front Crossmember Change Fastener Orientation).
^ Intermediate Shaft Clunk - Intermediate shaft clunk is heard and FELT in the steering wheel
and/or steering column area typically while driving on rough road surfaces with steering wheel
input.
Correction
Important:
^ I-shaft P/N 19153614 has been designed to replace previous designed dampened and
non-dampened I-shafts. The physical difference in the yoke size will accommodate all vehicles
listed in this bulletin.
^ Due to the design of the new I-shaft, it is not possible to lubricate/grease the I-shaft.
Replace the steering column upper intermediate shaft with an improved design shaft that will
eliminate the clunk noise using the procedure listed below.

Body Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4118
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Measuring Voltage Drop
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4119
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4120
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4121
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4122
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4123
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage.
The J 34142-B 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 1 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 1 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
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
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.
Push to Seat Connectors

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4135
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4136
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4139
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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 Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to
determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold
them between thumb and forefinger.
7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place.
- Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.
- Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip.

12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the
existing wires.
13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another
harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to
cover the first piece of tape.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or a provide good electrical connection.
Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except
tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special
requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire
using crimp and seal splice sleeves.
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4143
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original.
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC.
Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the
possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool. 7. Place the splice
sleeve in the crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9.
Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop
in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent
the wire from passing through the splice (3).
10. Close the handles of the J 38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until the proper
amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.

IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with 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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The body control module (BCM) monitors several inputs in order to arm and disarm the CTD
system. The BCM controls the alarm function outputs. When the BCM detects an unauthorized
entry (any door opened), the BCM applies ground to the horn, the park lamp and the headlamp
relays. The BCM will send messages to the security telltale in the instrument cluster through the
Class 2 serial data link. The BCM has the following 8 basic modes for operating the CTD system.
The more detailed descriptions are below.
- Off state
- Idle state
- Disarmed state
- Ready-to-arm state
- Arm initiated state
- Arm delay state
- Armed state
- Alarm state
The BCM has the following 6 discrete inputs in order to monitor the CTD system:
- Ignition 1
- Driver door latch (door jamb) switch
- Passenger door latch (door jamb) switch
- Door lock relay
- Door key switch
- Passenger door unlock relay
The BCM applies ground once per second for approximately 2 minutes, or until a valid input to
disarm the system is received by the BCM.
The Body Control Module (BCM) contains the theft deterrent system logic. The BCM reads the
Passlock(TM) data from the Passlock(TM) sensor. If the Passlock(TM) data is correct, the BCM will
pass theft. The BCM will then transmit the fuel continue password to the VCM/PCM.
During the tamper mode the vehicle may start. The vehicle will then stall. If the BCM receives the
wrong Passlock(TM) data, the VTD will immediately go into the tamper mode. The tamper mode
will lock-out the vehicle fuel injectors for 10 minutes. The SECURITY indicator will flash while the
VTD is in the tamper mode.
If the Passlock(TM) sensor sends a correct password to the BCM when the ignition is in the ON
position, the BCM will send a fuel enable signal to the VCM/PCM. The VCM/PCM will not disable
the fuel due to any BCM message for the remainder of the ignition cycle.

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

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4177
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.

Caution
Customers should be informed if a hard part failure is observed in the engine, transmission,
transfer case and/or other driveline components, it is likely that powertrain components were
weakened to the point of premature failure, while subjected to the higher stresses from Aftermarket
Power-Up Devices. Failures associated with the installation of Aftermarket Power-Up Devices,
which have been verified, are not covered under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty. In the
majority of these cases, the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM) (in Canada, Warranty Manager)
should be contacted and the remaining portion of the powertrain portion of the New Vehicle
Warranty blocked. GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty
claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage.
General Motors Position On Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Important General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that,
when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
04-06-04-054A or newer - Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Important For further information on aftermarket power-up kits, refer to February 2006 Emerging
Issues Course Number 10206.02D. In Canada, information on aftermarket power-up kits was
covered in the April 2006 TAC TALK program.
Aftermarket power-up devices are non-approved by General Motors. These devices are usually
piggy-backed in the main engine harness or remain connected to the diagnostic connector to
upload the calibration to the ECM. Recent warranty reviews of returned engines show engine
breakdown or non-function due to power-up devices that are utilized for increased horsepower and
torque. The following information will assist technicians in identifying overpower engine breakdown
or non-function due to aftermarket power-up devices vs. non overpower engine breakdown or
non-function.
Non-GM parts can alter the design of the vehicle. GM dealers need to be aware of the quality of
parts being installed on vehicles. If failure occurs as a result of installation of sub-par parts,
warranty coverage may be denied. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A or newer Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Installed Power-Up Kit
Aftermarket power-up kits have become a very popular add on for performance-minded customers.
These devices can add horsepower and torque and can add additional stress to the engine. These
aftermarket calibrations take the Duramax(TM) powertrain outside of its design torque and
horsepower rating. They do this by altering air/fuel ratios and injector timing, resulting in excessive
cylinder pressure and temperature. When these calibrated parameters are altered, it will upset the
design balance and can lead to a reduction of engine life expectancy. Generally, in inspection of
Duramax(TM) engine failure due to power-up failures, two or more cylinders will be affected.
Installed Power-Up Kit
- Once installed, the calibration may mask itself with the factory original calibration ID and may
remain the same. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006F or newer - Information on

- A Tech 2(R) will not positively enable you to identify the use of a power-up device.
- Some companies that offer power-up devices claim increases of 150 or more horsepower and
300 or more lb/ft pounds of torque.
- A vehicle that is used to the power-up device potential 100% of the time will see earlier engine
wear and breakdown.
- A vehicle that takes advantage of additional power, but on a less frequent basis, may not see
premature engine wear and breakdown until later in the engine's life.
- A vehicle not pushed to its limits of the power-up device often may not encounter premature wear
and breakdown until after the engine is out of warranty.
Duramax(TM) Powertrain Horsepower / Torque Ratings
The following horsepower and torque increase over the past years required new internal
components to accommodate the increase.
- LB7 - 300 hp with 520 ft/lb of torque for model years 2000-2004
- LLY - 310 hp with 605 ft/lb of torque for model years 2004-2008
- LBZ - 360 hp with 650 ft/lb of torque for model year 2006-2008
- LMM - 365 hp with 660 ft/lb of torque for model year 2007-2009
LBZ Improvements
To reliably achieve an increase in 50 horsepower with 45 ft/lb torque, the Duramax (TM) diesel had
to be revised in many areas. A few of the revisions on the 2006 LBZ were:
- New pistons with a revised compression ratio.
- Wrist pins that are larger in diameter.
- Connecting rods with added material to increase the I section strength.
- Engine block and machining changes
- Cylinder heads
Duramax(TM) Life Expectancy
The Duramax(TM) 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel Engine is sold with a warranty of 100,000 miles/160,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) has been tested to survive upwards of 200,000 miles/320,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) powertrain is designed for reliability, peak horsepower and torque
within its design limits. When a customer installs a power-up device, it drastically reduces the
mileage ratings.
Important Cylinder Wall Spotting (commonly referred to leopard spots) is from the induction
hardening process of the top 1/3 of the cylinder wall. This is normal for the Duramax (TM) Diesel.
Identifying Fuel Related Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Aftermarket companies have developed a performance pressure relief fuel valve for Duramax(TM)
diesel engines. Refer to above graphic illustration. The performance pressure relief fuel valve
attaches to the fuel rail in place of the OEM valve and will not allow any fuel return to the tank,
giving 100% of the fuel to be available for additional engine performance. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may set the following DTCs:
- DTC P1093 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Low During Power Enrichment
- DTC P0087 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Too Low

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4180
Aftermarket companies have developed a replacement performance/economy fuel injector nozzle.
Refer to above illustration. The performance/economy fuel injector nozzles replace the OEM fuel
injector nozzles. The aftermarket companies claim increased horsepower, improved fuel
atomization, lower exhaust gas temperatures and increase fuel economy. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may cause internal engine damage to the pistons
and fuel injector nozzles.
Identifying Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
When premature wear and breakdown is encountered due to an aftermarket power-up device, it
has some very specific characteristics to the internal engine components. The following list will
assist in identifying these characteristics as you tear down the engine.
- Pistons will be cracked in the lip area, or a hole in the pistons.
- Pistons can also be melted on the lip of the combustion bowl, or the top of the pistons can be
melted.
- Crosshatch will be polished off the cylinder wall in the major thrust face of cylinder below ring belt
travel.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4181
- Piston pin bore will show signs of scoring, the wrist pins will be discolored, and can have oil
coking on them. The connecting rod bushing surface will have accelerated wear. The above
illustration shows a connecting rod bushing.
- Oil coking on the underside of the piston between the wrist pin bosses.
- Signs of bearing fretting will also be noticed on the connecting rod and main bearing caps. Refer
to the above illustration for fretting of main bearing cap 1 and back side of connection rod bearing
2.
- Excessive heat in engine compartment caused by overpower device. Refer to above illustration
(1).
Non Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
The following pictures show results of overheat, overspeed, low/no oil pressure or injector
breakdown and how they differ from aftermarket power-up device premature wear and breakdown.
Engine Overheat
Overheat can be caused by a loss of coolant or a general cooling system failure. Some of the
indicators of overheat are:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4182
- Melted pistons.
- Head gasket breakdown or non-function.
- Warped cylinder heads.
- Crankshaft and connecting rod discolored.
Engine Overspeed Causes
If an engine has been run faster than design capability (redline), and has caused damage as a
result, it may be a result of one of the following conditions:
- Leaking or failed turbocharger (TC) oil seals.
- Oil evident in the intake runners and compressor side of the TC.
- Starting fluid use or alternative fuel added to the engine such as ether.
Engine Overspeed Results
The following are indicators that an overspeed event took place:
- Valve train damage.
- Pushrods that are bent (4).
- Broken valve bridge buttons after cylinder head removal (2).
- Rocker arm tip damage (1).
- Dry or rusted cylinders from the use of ether, propane or nitrous oxide.
- Piston to valve contact.
- Cam gear pin shear.
Lack of Oil Pressure
Lack of lubrication causes rapid bearing wear or bearing to seize.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4183
Bearing failure. Spun main bearings.
Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown Due to Improper Function of Fuel Injector
A fuel injector may fracture a piston or melt a piston but the damage will be limited to that cylinder
only and all other pistons and cylinder walls are OK. In some cases hydraulic lock will occur on the
suspected cylinder with an over-fueling fuel injector. Hydraulic lock on the suspected cylinder will
cause a bent connecting rod. This can be verified with piston protrusion measurements.
2007-2010 RPO LMM Only Turbocharger DTC P003A Set
General Motors has identified a turbocharger (TC) failure mode involving Power-Up Kits that
causes soot leakage and DTC P003A to be set. The Power-Up Kits create an overtemperature
condition from the increased exhaust gas temperatures that results in a permanent and excessive
turbine housing distortion at the TC case halves.
1. A technician may observe one or more of the following conditions:
- DTC P003A being set as Current or in History.
- An unusual odor emanating from the TC due to an overtemperature condition.
- Soot leaking and accumulating at the V-band clamp that secures the TC case halves together.
- Limited or unresponsive travel when Commanding the TC Vane Pos. Ctrl. Solenoid ON and OFF
with a scan tool.
2. If DTC P003A is found as Current or in History, OR there is evidence of soot leakage (1) in the
area of the V-band clamp (1), then technicians
MUST verify if the engine control module (ECM) has a Power-Up Kit aftermarket calibration
installed or an aftermarket hardware device has been installed. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
08-06-04-006F or newer for the calibration verification information and procedures.
How to Handle a Suspect Engine Failure Due to a Power-Up Device
Dealers should not automatically decline warranty assistance on engine failures due to the fact that
a power-up device or modification is evident or suspected. The technician must identify that the
failure is due to a power-up device by teardown analysis and diagnosis of the engine components.
The following steps should be taken if an engine failure occurs and it is suspected that the
modification or addition of a power-up device maybe the cause of the engine failure. If unclear of
this process or direction feel free to contact your Fixed Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty
Manager) for further support.
1. The technician should use proper engine diagnostics to lead him/her to the failed engine
components. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List
should be followed and if it is determined that at least three of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check
List items match the engine component failures then it can be decided that the failure is not a
warrantable claim.
2. Engine failures that meet at least three criteria of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List are
considered failures that are not manufacturer's
defects in workmanship or materials.
3. The dealership should contact the PQC, open a case to review the findings and make the final
decision on warranty coverage. The Fixed
Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty Manager) should be notified of the PQC decision.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4184
4. Denied claims should be documented as follows:
1. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List completed with the technicians detailed written
findings of the diagnosis on the repair order and
retained in the repair order file.
2. Photographs of the failed parts should be retained in the repair order file.
5. The customer should be advised that the failure of their engine was not due to a manufacturer's
defect in workmanship or materials and therefore
the warranty claim is denied on this failure.
Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List
Important Print and use this aftermarket power-up kit check list when performing an engine
disassembly investigation of overpower engine breakdown or non-function. Retain a copy of this
checklist and photographs of the failed parts in the repair order file.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Passlock Function
VEHICLE/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The VCM/PCM communicates with the BCM over the Class 2 serial data line. When the BCM
determines a no start condition, it sends a Class 2 serial data password to the VCM/PCM in order
to disable the fuel injection system. If the BCM receives the expected voltage from the
Passlock(TM) sensor, the BCM sends a class 2 serial data password to the VCM/PCM in order to
enable the fuel injection system. The VCM/PCM then allows the vehicle to start correctly. If the
Class 2 serial data password from the BCM to the VCM/PCM is not within the Vehicle Security
Status Message, the fuel injectors will shut OFF during a start attempt. The SECURITY telltale will
be illuminated for 10 minutes. If the VCM/PCM does not receive the same password from the BCM
as the last learned one, the vehicle will start and then stalls due to the Fuel Lockout.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Engine Control Module (ECM)
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) processes the various input information. The ECM sends the
necessary electrical responses to control fuel delivery.
The input information has an interrelation to more than one output. One failed input can affect more
than one systems operation.
Diagnostic System Check - Computers and Control Systems The Diagnostic System Check Computers and Control Systems is an organized approach to identify a problem caused by an
electronic engine control system malfunction.
This diagnostic check must be the starting point for any driveability complaint diagnosis. The
diagnostic directs the technician to the next logical step in diagnosing the complaint.
Use the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions list for a comparison after fulfilling the following items: Complete the Diagnostic System Check-Computers and Control Systems.
- Confirm that the on-board diagnostics are functioning properly.
- Confirm there are no diagnostic trouble codes.
The Engine Scan Tool Definitions are an average of display values recorded from normal operating
vehicles. The definitions intend to represent what a normal functioning system should display.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a scan tool that displays faulty data. Report the problem to the
manufacturer. Using a malfunctioning scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts
replacement. Use only the parameters listed in the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions for
diagnosis. When a scan tool reads other parameters, General Motors recommends not using the
values for use in diagnosis. For more description on the values and the use of the scan tool to
diagnose the ECM inputs, refer to the applicable diagnostic file. When all the values are within the
range illustrated in the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions, refer to Symptoms - Computers and
Control Systems.
Control Module Communications The control module system has a computer, the engine control
module (ECM), to control fuel delivery, timing, and some emission control systems. The control
module system monitors a number of engine and vehicle functions and controls the following
operations through the fuel injection control module (FICM): Fuel rail pressure
- Fuel injector
- Fuel injector pulse width
The diesel ECM, located in the engine compartment, is the control center of the control module
system. The engine control module used on the electronic fuel injected 6.6L diesel is referred to as
a ECM.
The ECM constantly looks at the information from various sensors, and controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance. The ECM performs the diagnostic function of the system. The ECM can
recognize operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL. Service Engine Soon, and store
one or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which identify the problem areas to aid the technician
in making repairs. See the specific diagnosis procedure for more information.
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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Passlock Function > Page 4203
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.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment Any equipment installed on a vehicle after
leaving the factory that connects to the electrical or vacuum systems of the vehicle defines
aftermarket (Add-On) electrical and vacuum equipment. The vehicle design makes no allowances
for this type of equipment.
NOTE: -
Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on vacuum
equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
- Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at the
battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
The add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include any equipment which is not connected to
the electrical system of the vehicle such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step
in diagnosing any powertrain problem is to eliminate all of the aftermarket electrical equipment from
the vehicle. After this is done, if the problem still exists, diagnose the problem in the normal
manner.
Computers and Control Systems Information The driveability and emissions information describes
the function and operation of the control module. The emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and
repair of problems related to the system.
Engine Components, Wiring Diagrams, and Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables: The Component Locations
- The Wiring Diagrams
- The Control Module Terminal End View and Terminal Definitions
- The Diagnostic System Check - Computers and Control Systems
- The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables
The Component System includes the following items: The component and circuit description
- The On-vehicle service for each subsystem
- The Functional checks with the diagnostic tables
- How To Use Electrical Systems Diagnostic Information
The DTCs also contain the diagnostic support information containing the circuit or the system
information, and helpful diagnostic information.
Wiring Harness Service The control module harness electrically connects the control module to the
various solenoids, switches, and sensors in the vehicle engine compartment and passenger
compartment.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Passlock Function > Page 4204
Replace the wire harnesses with the proper part number replacement. When splicing signal wires
into a harness, use the wiring that has high temperature insulation.
Consider the low amperage and voltage levels utilized in the powertrain control systems. Make the
best possible bond at all splices. Use rosin-core solder in these areas.
Molded-on connectors require complete replacement of the connector. Splice a new connector into
the harness. Replacement connectors and terminals are listed in Group 8.965 in the Standard
Parts Catalog.
Connectors and Terminals In order to prevent shorting between opposite terminals, use care when
probing a connector and when replacing terminals. Damage to the components could result.
Always use jumper wires between connectors for circuit checking.
Never probe through the Weather-Pack seals.
The J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit , or the equivalent, contains an assortment of flexible
connectors used in order to probe the terminals during the diagnosis. The fuse remover and the
BT-8616 Test Tool, or the equivalent, is used for removing a fuse and to adapt the fuse holder to a
meter for diagnosis.
Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight because oxidation or terminal misalignment are
hidden by the connectors. Merely wiggling a connector on a sensor or in the wiring harness may
temporarily correct the open circuit. Oxidized or loose connections may cause intermittent
problems.
Be certain the type of connector and terminal before making any connector or terminal repair.
Weather-Pack and Com-Pack III terminals look similar, but are serviced differently.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) 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.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
- To prevent internal ECM damage, the ignition switch must be OFF when disconnecting or
connecting power to the ECM.
- Remove any debris from the ECM connector surfaces before servicing the ECM. Inspect the ECM
module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the ECM. Ensure that the gaskets are
installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant intrusion into the ECM.
- The replacement ECM must programmed.
- It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programed
with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100%. If the replacement module
is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at
5000km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.
1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine
oil life.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 3. Disconnect the ECM electrical connectors (2).
4. Release the ECM cover retaining tabs. 5. Remove the ECM cover from the bracket. 6. Remove
the ECM cover.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position (APP) system along with the vehicle electronics and components is
used to calculate and control the amount of acceleration and deceleration via fuel injector control.
This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to a throttle
body.
The APP system includes, but is not limited to, the following components :
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor assembly
- The engine control module (ECM)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted
on the accelerator pedal control assembly. The sensor is made up of 3 individual sensors within
one housing. Three separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used in order
to interface the accelerator pedal sensor assembly with the ECM. Each sensor has a unique
functionality to determine pedal position. The ECM uses the APP sensor to determine the amount
of acceleration or deceleration desired by the person driving the vehicle. The APP sensor 1 voltage
should increase as the accelerator pedal is depressed, from below 1.0 volt at 0 pedal travel to
above 2 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 2 voltage should decrease from above 4
volts at 0 pedal travel to below 3.0 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 3 voltage should
decrease from above 3.8 volts at 0 percent pedal travel to below 3.3 volts at 100 percent pedal
travel.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The engine control
module (ECM) sends the fuel level information via the class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster
(IPC). This information is used for the instrument panel (I/P) fuel gage and the low fuel warning
indicator, if applicable. The ECM also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

A/T - Slow/No Gear Engagement/Engine No Start > Page 4307
Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008-2010 model years, update the tire size
information and reference the vehicle tire information label locations. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 01-03-10-010F (Section 03 - Suspension).
GM has developed and matched specific tires for your vehicle. The original equipment tires and
their respective size installed on the vehicle when it was new, were designed to meet General
Motors Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) system rating. GM's exclusive TPC
Spec system considers over a dozen critical specifications that impact the overall performance of
the vehicle.
A truck that has different tires and wheels from the original equipment designed for that vehicle will
have engine power/performance concerns, transmission shift concerns, speedometer registered
speed concerns, cruise control concerns and increased steering effort, especially during parking lot
maneuvers at slow speeds.
The engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM) use engine speed
(RPM) and vehicle speed sensor (VSS) inputs as operational parameters for engine torque,
transmission shifting, cruise control operation and speedometer indicated vehicle speed.
Calibrations for different tire/wheel combinations are not available.
Therefore, changing of tire and/or wheel size should not be undertaken by dealerships or truck
owners.
Proper diagnosis of engine, transmission, speedometer and cruise control concerns MUST begin
with an inspection of tire/wheel size.
Important A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the center pillar
(B-pillar) of the vehicle. With the driver's door open, you will find the label attached below the door
lock post (striker). The label shows the size of the original equipment tires and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures.A vehicle specific Certification/Tire label is found on the rear edge of
the driver's door. The label shows the size of the original equipment tires and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position (APP) system along with the vehicle electronics and components is
used to calculate and control the amount of acceleration and deceleration via fuel injector control.
This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to a throttle
body.
The APP system includes, but is not limited to, the following components :
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor assembly
- The engine control module (ECM)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted
on the accelerator pedal control assembly. The sensor is made up of 3 individual sensors within
one housing. Three separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used in order
to interface the accelerator pedal sensor assembly with the ECM. Each sensor has a unique
functionality to determine pedal position. The ECM uses the APP sensor to determine the amount
of acceleration or deceleration desired by the person driving the vehicle. The APP sensor 1 voltage
should increase as the accelerator pedal is depressed, from below 1.0 volt at 0 pedal travel to
above 2 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 2 voltage should decrease from above 4
volts at 0 pedal travel to below 3.0 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 3 voltage should
decrease from above 3.8 volts at 0 percent pedal travel to below 3.3 volts at 100 percent pedal
travel.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

Subject: Information on the Proper Air Filter for the Duramax(R) Diesel
Models: 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2001-2005 GMC Sierra
with 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2 - RPOs LB7, LLY)
The Duramax(R) air filter, P/N 25332443, is specific to the diesel engine due to the operating
characteristics of a turbo charged diesel engine. The turbo allows for a much greater air volume
rate than a normal aspirated engine. The Duramax(R) diesel air filter is reinforced to eliminate
damage from the increased airflow of the turbo. The reinforcement is visually identified by the five
ribs of epoxy that lies across the pleats of the clean side of the filter.
If the correct air filter is not used, the filter may collapse or be torn in a Duramax(R) application.
This damage will allow dust and dirt to be ingested into the turbo and engine causing serious
damage. This damage is usually identified at the turbo vanes as well as extreme wear in the
cylinder walls of the engine.
There is evidence of gasoline engine air filters being used in the Duaramax(R) application. The 8.1
gas air filter, P/N 25313349, will fit into the air box of the Duramax(R) diesel; however, it does not
have the required reinforcement of the diesel air filter. The 8.1 liter gas engine air filter should
never be used in a Duramax(R) diesel engine.

Important:
It is acceptable to use diesel fuel containing up to 5% biodiesel (B5). Higher concentration (i.e.,
greater than B5) biodiesel-containing fuels or the use of unmodified bio-oils blended into diesel fuel
at any concentration is not recommended and could damage the fuel system and engine. Such
damage would not be covered by your warranty.

2003-2009 Chevrolet and GMC C4500/5500 Series vehicles with the 6.6L Duramax(TM) Diesel.
The new coalescer filter provides the following benefits / improvements over the existing dual pleat
design:
^ 150-200% increase in service life, depending on contaminant type

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Fuel Filter >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel System - Improved Fuel Filter Design > Page 4515
^ Improved fuel system protection with some premium diesel and B5 biodiesel blends
^ Equivalent coarse water droplet removal efficiency of previous design
^ Greatly improved removal of emulsified water - a major contributor to fuel system issues
Proper fuel filter servicing and the use of clean diesel fuel that is free of water or contaminants are
critical for the longevity of fuel system components of a modern direct injected diesel engine.
Adherence to the fuel filter change interval will help to ensure that the Duramax fuel system will be
protected from contaminants and that the engine will continue to operate as designed. Purchasing
fuel from a high volume fuel retailer increases the chances that the fuel is fresh and of good quality.

Fuel Filter: Service and Repair Fuel System Priming
FUEL SYSTEM PRIMING
IMPORTANT: In order for the DURAMAX diesel engine fuel system to work properly, the fuel lines
must be full of fuel and contain no air. If air gets into the fuel lines, it will be necessary to prime the
fuel system to eliminate the air before operating the vehicle. Air could have entered to system in
one of the following ways:
- The vehicle ran out of fuel.
- The filter was removed for service or replacement.
- The fuel lines were removed or disconnected for servicing.
- The fuel filter water drain cock was opened while the engine was running.
If one or more of the above occurred, air has entered the fuel system and you will need to prime
the system prior to operating the vehicle.
1. Prior to priming the engine, ensure that the following is complete:
- There is fuel in the fuel tank.
- The fuel filter has been installed and properly tightened.
- The fuel lines are properly connected.
- The fuel filter is cool to the touch.
- Any dirt or debris is removed from the fuel filter head and vent valve.
2. Open the vent valve by turning the screw counterclockwise several full turns.

3. Operate the priming pump until a small amount of fuel seeps from the vent valve. allow the pump
to return upwards between pumps. When fuel is
present, the filter is full of fuel and the system should be primed.
4. Close the vent valve. 5. Clean any fuel which accumulated on the fuel filter. 6. Start the engine
and allow it to idle for a few minutes. 7. Check the filter for leaks.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position (APP) system along with the vehicle electronics and components is
used to calculate and control the amount of acceleration and deceleration via fuel injector control.
This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to a throttle
body.
The APP system includes, but is not limited to, the following components :
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor assembly
- The engine control module (ECM)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted
on the accelerator pedal control assembly. The sensor is made up of 3 individual sensors within
one housing. Three separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used in order
to interface the accelerator pedal sensor assembly with the ECM. Each sensor has a unique
functionality to determine pedal position. The ECM uses the APP sensor to determine the amount
of acceleration or deceleration desired by the person driving the vehicle. The APP sensor 1 voltage
should increase as the accelerator pedal is depressed, from below 1.0 volt at 0 pedal travel to
above 2 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 2 voltage should decrease from above 4
volts at 0 pedal travel to below 3.0 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 3 voltage should
decrease from above 3.8 volts at 0 percent pedal travel to below 3.3 volts at 100 percent pedal
travel.

Body Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4596
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM
to autorange to an appropriate range.

NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.

Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4598
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4599
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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

- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4601
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4613
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4614
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs
SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4616
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4617
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4618
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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 Clips

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The body control module (BCM) monitors several inputs in order to arm and disarm the CTD
system. The BCM controls the alarm function outputs. When the BCM detects an unauthorized
entry (any door opened), the BCM applies ground to the horn, the park lamp and the headlamp
relays. The BCM will send messages to the security telltale in the instrument cluster through the
Class 2 serial data link. The BCM has the following 8 basic modes for operating the CTD system.
The more detailed descriptions are below.
- Off state
- Idle state
- Disarmed state
- Ready-to-arm state
- Arm initiated state
- Arm delay state
- Armed state
- Alarm state
The BCM has the following 6 discrete inputs in order to monitor the CTD system:
- Ignition 1
- Driver door latch (door jamb) switch
- Passenger door latch (door jamb) switch
- Door lock relay
- Door key switch
- Passenger door unlock relay
The BCM applies ground once per second for approximately 2 minutes, or until a valid input to
disarm the system is received by the BCM.
The Body Control Module (BCM) contains the theft deterrent system logic. The BCM reads the
Passlock(TM) data from the Passlock(TM) sensor. If the Passlock(TM) data is correct, the BCM will
pass theft. The BCM will then transmit the fuel continue password to the VCM/PCM.
During the tamper mode the vehicle may start. The vehicle will then stall. If the BCM receives the
wrong Passlock(TM) data, the VTD will immediately go into the tamper mode. The tamper mode
will lock-out the vehicle fuel injectors for 10 minutes. The SECURITY indicator will flash while the
VTD is in the tamper mode.
If the Passlock(TM) sensor sends a correct password to the BCM when the ignition is in the ON
position, the BCM will send a fuel enable signal to the VCM/PCM. The VCM/PCM will not disable
the fuel due to any BCM message for the remainder of the ignition cycle.

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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4689
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.

Caution
Customers should be informed if a hard part failure is observed in the engine, transmission,
transfer case and/or other driveline components, it is likely that powertrain components were
weakened to the point of premature failure, while subjected to the higher stresses from Aftermarket
Power-Up Devices. Failures associated with the installation of Aftermarket Power-Up Devices,
which have been verified, are not covered under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty. In the
majority of these cases, the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM) (in Canada, Warranty Manager)
should be contacted and the remaining portion of the powertrain portion of the New Vehicle
Warranty blocked. GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty
claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage.
General Motors Position On Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Important General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that,
when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
04-06-04-054A or newer - Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Important For further information on aftermarket power-up kits, refer to February 2006 Emerging
Issues Course Number 10206.02D. In Canada, information on aftermarket power-up kits was
covered in the April 2006 TAC TALK program.
Aftermarket power-up devices are non-approved by General Motors. These devices are usually
piggy-backed in the main engine harness or remain connected to the diagnostic connector to
upload the calibration to the ECM. Recent warranty reviews of returned engines show engine
breakdown or non-function due to power-up devices that are utilized for increased horsepower and
torque. The following information will assist technicians in identifying overpower engine breakdown
or non-function due to aftermarket power-up devices vs. non overpower engine breakdown or
non-function.
Non-GM parts can alter the design of the vehicle. GM dealers need to be aware of the quality of
parts being installed on vehicles. If failure occurs as a result of installation of sub-par parts,
warranty coverage may be denied. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A or newer Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Installed Power-Up Kit
Aftermarket power-up kits have become a very popular add on for performance-minded customers.
These devices can add horsepower and torque and can add additional stress to the engine. These
aftermarket calibrations take the Duramax(TM) powertrain outside of its design torque and
horsepower rating. They do this by altering air/fuel ratios and injector timing, resulting in excessive
cylinder pressure and temperature. When these calibrated parameters are altered, it will upset the
design balance and can lead to a reduction of engine life expectancy. Generally, in inspection of
Duramax(TM) engine failure due to power-up failures, two or more cylinders will be affected.
Installed Power-Up Kit
- Once installed, the calibration may mask itself with the factory original calibration ID and may
remain the same. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006F or newer - Information on
Identifying Non-GM Calibration Usage for LMM Duramax(TM) Diesel Engine.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4691
- A Tech 2(R) will not positively enable you to identify the use of a power-up device.
- Some companies that offer power-up devices claim increases of 150 or more horsepower and
300 or more lb/ft pounds of torque.
- A vehicle that is used to the power-up device potential 100% of the time will see earlier engine
wear and breakdown.
- A vehicle that takes advantage of additional power, but on a less frequent basis, may not see
premature engine wear and breakdown until later in the engine's life.
- A vehicle not pushed to its limits of the power-up device often may not encounter premature wear
and breakdown until after the engine is out of warranty.
Duramax(TM) Powertrain Horsepower / Torque Ratings
The following horsepower and torque increase over the past years required new internal
components to accommodate the increase.
- LB7 - 300 hp with 520 ft/lb of torque for model years 2000-2004
- LLY - 310 hp with 605 ft/lb of torque for model years 2004-2008
- LBZ - 360 hp with 650 ft/lb of torque for model year 2006-2008
- LMM - 365 hp with 660 ft/lb of torque for model year 2007-2009
LBZ Improvements
To reliably achieve an increase in 50 horsepower with 45 ft/lb torque, the Duramax (TM) diesel had
to be revised in many areas. A few of the revisions on the 2006 LBZ were:
- New pistons with a revised compression ratio.
- Wrist pins that are larger in diameter.
- Connecting rods with added material to increase the I section strength.
- Engine block and machining changes
- Cylinder heads
Duramax(TM) Life Expectancy
The Duramax(TM) 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel Engine is sold with a warranty of 100,000 miles/160,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) has been tested to survive upwards of 200,000 miles/320,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) powertrain is designed for reliability, peak horsepower and torque
within its design limits. When a customer installs a power-up device, it drastically reduces the
mileage ratings.
Important Cylinder Wall Spotting (commonly referred to leopard spots) is from the induction
hardening process of the top 1/3 of the cylinder wall. This is normal for the Duramax (TM) Diesel.
Identifying Fuel Related Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Aftermarket companies have developed a performance pressure relief fuel valve for Duramax(TM)
diesel engines. Refer to above graphic illustration. The performance pressure relief fuel valve
attaches to the fuel rail in place of the OEM valve and will not allow any fuel return to the tank,
giving 100% of the fuel to be available for additional engine performance. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may set the following DTCs:
- DTC P1093 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Low During Power Enrichment
- DTC P0087 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Too Low

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4692
Aftermarket companies have developed a replacement performance/economy fuel injector nozzle.
Refer to above illustration. The performance/economy fuel injector nozzles replace the OEM fuel
injector nozzles. The aftermarket companies claim increased horsepower, improved fuel
atomization, lower exhaust gas temperatures and increase fuel economy. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may cause internal engine damage to the pistons
and fuel injector nozzles.
Identifying Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
When premature wear and breakdown is encountered due to an aftermarket power-up device, it
has some very specific characteristics to the internal engine components. The following list will
assist in identifying these characteristics as you tear down the engine.
- Pistons will be cracked in the lip area, or a hole in the pistons.
- Pistons can also be melted on the lip of the combustion bowl, or the top of the pistons can be
melted.
- Crosshatch will be polished off the cylinder wall in the major thrust face of cylinder below ring belt
travel.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4693
- Piston pin bore will show signs of scoring, the wrist pins will be discolored, and can have oil
coking on them. The connecting rod bushing surface will have accelerated wear. The above
illustration shows a connecting rod bushing.
- Oil coking on the underside of the piston between the wrist pin bosses.
- Signs of bearing fretting will also be noticed on the connecting rod and main bearing caps. Refer
to the above illustration for fretting of main bearing cap 1 and back side of connection rod bearing
2.
- Excessive heat in engine compartment caused by overpower device. Refer to above illustration
(1).
Non Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
The following pictures show results of overheat, overspeed, low/no oil pressure or injector
breakdown and how they differ from aftermarket power-up device premature wear and breakdown.
Engine Overheat
Overheat can be caused by a loss of coolant or a general cooling system failure. Some of the
indicators of overheat are:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4694
- Melted pistons.
- Head gasket breakdown or non-function.
- Warped cylinder heads.
- Crankshaft and connecting rod discolored.
Engine Overspeed Causes
If an engine has been run faster than design capability (redline), and has caused damage as a
result, it may be a result of one of the following conditions:
- Leaking or failed turbocharger (TC) oil seals.
- Oil evident in the intake runners and compressor side of the TC.
- Starting fluid use or alternative fuel added to the engine such as ether.
Engine Overspeed Results
The following are indicators that an overspeed event took place:
- Valve train damage.
- Pushrods that are bent (4).
- Broken valve bridge buttons after cylinder head removal (2).
- Rocker arm tip damage (1).
- Dry or rusted cylinders from the use of ether, propane or nitrous oxide.
- Piston to valve contact.
- Cam gear pin shear.
Lack of Oil Pressure
Lack of lubrication causes rapid bearing wear or bearing to seize.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4695
Bearing failure. Spun main bearings.
Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown Due to Improper Function of Fuel Injector
A fuel injector may fracture a piston or melt a piston but the damage will be limited to that cylinder
only and all other pistons and cylinder walls are OK. In some cases hydraulic lock will occur on the
suspected cylinder with an over-fueling fuel injector. Hydraulic lock on the suspected cylinder will
cause a bent connecting rod. This can be verified with piston protrusion measurements.
2007-2010 RPO LMM Only Turbocharger DTC P003A Set
General Motors has identified a turbocharger (TC) failure mode involving Power-Up Kits that
causes soot leakage and DTC P003A to be set. The Power-Up Kits create an overtemperature
condition from the increased exhaust gas temperatures that results in a permanent and excessive
turbine housing distortion at the TC case halves.
1. A technician may observe one or more of the following conditions:
- DTC P003A being set as Current or in History.
- An unusual odor emanating from the TC due to an overtemperature condition.
- Soot leaking and accumulating at the V-band clamp that secures the TC case halves together.
- Limited or unresponsive travel when Commanding the TC Vane Pos. Ctrl. Solenoid ON and OFF
with a scan tool.
2. If DTC P003A is found as Current or in History, OR there is evidence of soot leakage (1) in the
area of the V-band clamp (1), then technicians
MUST verify if the engine control module (ECM) has a Power-Up Kit aftermarket calibration
installed or an aftermarket hardware device has been installed. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
08-06-04-006F or newer for the calibration verification information and procedures.
How to Handle a Suspect Engine Failure Due to a Power-Up Device
Dealers should not automatically decline warranty assistance on engine failures due to the fact that
a power-up device or modification is evident or suspected. The technician must identify that the
failure is due to a power-up device by teardown analysis and diagnosis of the engine components.
The following steps should be taken if an engine failure occurs and it is suspected that the
modification or addition of a power-up device maybe the cause of the engine failure. If unclear of
this process or direction feel free to contact your Fixed Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty
Manager) for further support.
1. The technician should use proper engine diagnostics to lead him/her to the failed engine
components. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List
should be followed and if it is determined that at least three of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check
List items match the engine component failures then it can be decided that the failure is not a
warrantable claim.
2. Engine failures that meet at least three criteria of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List are
considered failures that are not manufacturer's
defects in workmanship or materials.
3. The dealership should contact the PQC, open a case to review the findings and make the final
decision on warranty coverage. The Fixed
Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty Manager) should be notified of the PQC decision.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4696
4. Denied claims should be documented as follows:
1. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List completed with the technicians detailed written
findings of the diagnosis on the repair order and
retained in the repair order file.
2. Photographs of the failed parts should be retained in the repair order file.
5. The customer should be advised that the failure of their engine was not due to a manufacturer's
defect in workmanship or materials and therefore
the warranty claim is denied on this failure.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Passlock Function
VEHICLE/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The VCM/PCM communicates with the BCM over the Class 2 serial data line. When the BCM
determines a no start condition, it sends a Class 2 serial data password to the VCM/PCM in order
to disable the fuel injection system. If the BCM receives the expected voltage from the
Passlock(TM) sensor, the BCM sends a class 2 serial data password to the VCM/PCM in order to
enable the fuel injection system. The VCM/PCM then allows the vehicle to start correctly. If the
Class 2 serial data password from the BCM to the VCM/PCM is not within the Vehicle Security
Status Message, the fuel injectors will shut OFF during a start attempt. The SECURITY telltale will
be illuminated for 10 minutes. If the VCM/PCM does not receive the same password from the BCM
as the last learned one, the vehicle will start and then stalls due to the Fuel Lockout.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Engine Control Module (ECM)
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) processes the various input information. The ECM sends the
necessary electrical responses to control fuel delivery.
The input information has an interrelation to more than one output. One failed input can affect more
than one systems operation.
Diagnostic System Check - Computers and Control Systems The Diagnostic System Check Computers and Control Systems is an organized approach to identify a problem caused by an
electronic engine control system malfunction.
This diagnostic check must be the starting point for any driveability complaint diagnosis. The
diagnostic directs the technician to the next logical step in diagnosing the complaint.
Use the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions list for a comparison after fulfilling the following items: Complete the Diagnostic System Check-Computers and Control Systems.
- Confirm that the on-board diagnostics are functioning properly.
- Confirm there are no diagnostic trouble codes.
The Engine Scan Tool Definitions are an average of display values recorded from normal operating
vehicles. The definitions intend to represent what a normal functioning system should display.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a scan tool that displays faulty data. Report the problem to the
manufacturer. Using a malfunctioning scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts
replacement. Use only the parameters listed in the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions for
diagnosis. When a scan tool reads other parameters, General Motors recommends not using the
values for use in diagnosis. For more description on the values and the use of the scan tool to
diagnose the ECM inputs, refer to the applicable diagnostic file. When all the values are within the
range illustrated in the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions, refer to Symptoms - Computers and
Control Systems.
Control Module Communications The control module system has a computer, the engine control
module (ECM), to control fuel delivery, timing, and some emission control systems. The control
module system monitors a number of engine and vehicle functions and controls the following
operations through the fuel injection control module (FICM): Fuel rail pressure
- Fuel injector
- Fuel injector pulse width
The diesel ECM, located in the engine compartment, is the control center of the control module
system. The engine control module used on the electronic fuel injected 6.6L diesel is referred to as
a ECM.
The ECM constantly looks at the information from various sensors, and controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance. The ECM performs the diagnostic function of the system. The ECM can
recognize operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL. Service Engine Soon, and store
one or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which identify the problem areas to aid the technician
in making repairs. See the specific diagnosis procedure for more information.
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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Passlock Function > Page 4715
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.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment Any equipment installed on a vehicle after
leaving the factory that connects to the electrical or vacuum systems of the vehicle defines
aftermarket (Add-On) electrical and vacuum equipment. The vehicle design makes no allowances
for this type of equipment.
NOTE: Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on vacuum
equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
- Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at the
battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
The add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include any equipment which is not connected to
the electrical system of the vehicle such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step
in diagnosing any powertrain problem is to eliminate all of the aftermarket electrical equipment from
the vehicle. After this is done, if the problem still exists, diagnose the problem in the normal
manner.
Computers and Control Systems Information The driveability and emissions information describes
the function and operation of the control module. The emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and
repair of problems related to the system.
Engine Components, Wiring Diagrams, and Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables: The Component Locations
- The Wiring Diagrams
- The Control Module Terminal End View and Terminal Definitions
- The Diagnostic System Check - Computers and Control Systems
- The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables
The Component System includes the following items: The component and circuit description
- The On-vehicle service for each subsystem
- The Functional checks with the diagnostic tables
- How To Use Electrical Systems Diagnostic Information
The DTCs also contain the diagnostic support information containing the circuit or the system
information, and helpful diagnostic information.
Wiring Harness Service The control module harness electrically connects the control module to the
various solenoids, switches, and sensors in the vehicle engine compartment and passenger
compartment.

Replace the wire harnesses with the proper part number replacement. When splicing signal wires
into a harness, use the wiring that has high temperature insulation.
Consider the low amperage and voltage levels utilized in the powertrain control systems. Make the
best possible bond at all splices. Use rosin-core solder in these areas.
Molded-on connectors require complete replacement of the connector. Splice a new connector into
the harness. Replacement connectors and terminals are listed in Group 8.965 in the Standard
Parts Catalog.
Connectors and Terminals In order to prevent shorting between opposite terminals, use care when
probing a connector and when replacing terminals. Damage to the components could result.
Always use jumper wires between connectors for circuit checking.
Never probe through the Weather-Pack seals.
The J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit , or the equivalent, contains an assortment of flexible
connectors used in order to probe the terminals during the diagnosis. The fuse remover and the
BT-8616 Test Tool, or the equivalent, is used for removing a fuse and to adapt the fuse holder to a
meter for diagnosis.
Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight because oxidation or terminal misalignment are
hidden by the connectors. Merely wiggling a connector on a sensor or in the wiring harness may
temporarily correct the open circuit. Oxidized or loose connections may cause intermittent
problems.
Be certain the type of connector and terminal before making any connector or terminal repair.
Weather-Pack and Com-Pack III terminals look similar, but are serviced differently.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) 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.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
- To prevent internal ECM damage, the ignition switch must be OFF when disconnecting or
connecting power to the ECM.
- Remove any debris from the ECM connector surfaces before servicing the ECM. Inspect the ECM
module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the ECM. Ensure that the gaskets are
installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant intrusion into the ECM.
- The replacement ECM must programmed.
- It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programed
with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100%. If the replacement module
is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at
5000km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.
1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine
oil life.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The engine control
module (ECM) sends the fuel level information via the class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster
(IPC). This information is used for the instrument panel (I/P) fuel gage and the low fuel warning
indicator, if applicable. The ECM also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

Information Bus: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4784
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Measuring Voltage Drop
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points.

1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4786
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4787
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4788
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4801
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4802
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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.

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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4805
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4806
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

Information Bus: Description and Operation
DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The serial data communication among the control modules is performed through multiple serial
data communication links. The class 2 serial data line is always present. The high speed GMLAN
or controller area network (CAN) may be present for different vehicle options. The data link
connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the modules on class 2 or high speed
GMLAN serial data lines. In order for the scan tool to communicate with the modules on high speed
GMLAN link, a CANdi module is needed. The CANdi module behaves as an interface between the
scan tool and the high speed GMLAN data link. The CAN is used for functional communication
only, among the modules connected to it.
DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a standardized 16 cavity connector. Connector design and
location is dictated by an industry wide standard, and is required to provide the following: Scan tool power battery positive voltage at terminal 16
- Scan tool power ground at terminal 4
- Common signal ground at terminal 5
- Class 2 signal at terminal 2
- High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) at terminal 6
- High speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) at terminal 14
CLASS 2 SERIAL DATA LINE
lass 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an average of 10.4 kbps. This value is an
average, class 2 uses a variable pulse width modulation to carry data and depending on the
message it may operate faster or slower. The bus will float at a nominal 7.0 volts during normal
operation. Each module can pull this lower during the transmission. The bus is not at battery
positive voltage or ground potential during normal operation. When the ignition switch is in RUN,
each module communicating on the class 2 serial data line sends a state of health (SOH) message
every 2 seconds to ensure that the module is operating properly. When a module stops
communicating on the class 2 serial data line, for example if the module loses power or ground, the
SOH message it normally sends on the data line every 2 seconds disappears. Other modules on
the class 2 serial data line, which expect to receive that SOH message, detect its absence; those
modules in turn set an internal DTC associated with the loss of SOH of the non-communicating
module. The DTC is unique to the module which is not communicating, for example, when the
inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) SOH message disappears, several
modules set DTC U1088. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not normally represent a failure
of the module that set it.
The class 2 serial data line on this vehicle is a star configuration. The powertrain control module
(PCM) has an additional class 2 serial data circuit to body control module (BCM). If one of the class
2 serial data circuits to the PCM opens, communication will not be interrupted. The following
modules communicate on the class 2 serial data line: The audio amplifier (early production)- Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and Operation in
Radio, Stereo and Compact Disc for more information.
- The body control module (BCM)
- The digital radio receiver (DRR)
- The driver door module (DDM)
- The driver seat module (DSM)
- The electronic brake control module (EBCM)
- The front passenger door control module (FPDM)
- The HVAC control module
- The hybrid control module (HCM), for PHT
- The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
- The instrument panel cluster (IPC)
- The powertrain control module (PCM)
- The radio
- The rear seat audio (RSA) controller
- The rear seat entertainment (RSE) assembly, w/U42
- The rear wheel steering control module (RWSCM)
- The remote playback device. CD player (CDX), w/U1S
- The transfer case shift control module (TCSCM), w/4WD
- The transmission control module (TCM), w/Allison Transmission
- The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM), w/UE1
The class 2 serial data line allows a scan tool to communicate with these modules for testing
purposes, checking for DTCs, and to activate/enable/disable functions. These class 2 serial data
circuits are bussed together via two splice packs: SP205.Located behind the I/P near the headlamp switch connector.
- SP207.Located in the I/P harness.
Refer to Data Link Communications Component Views.
CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) SERIAL DATA LINE W/6.6L ENGINE
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Page 4826
The controller area network (CAN) serial data line does not communicate with the scan tool via the
DLC. CAN serial data information is interpreted by the modules that are on the class 2 also, and
transmitted to the scan tool. The following modules communicate on the CAN serial data line: The engine control module (ECM)
- The transmission control module (TCM)
- The fuel injection control module (FICM)
- The glow plug control module, w/LLY
The CAN serial data line, based on J1939 SAE standard, is high speed serial data bus used to
communicate information among the modules. Typical data-transmission speeds must be high
enough to ensure that the required real-time response is maintained.
The addressing scheme employed with CAN assigns a label to every message, with each message
receiving a unique identifier. The identifier classifies the content of the message. Each module
processes only those messages whose identifiers are stored in the module's acceptance list. This
is CAN's form of message filtering.
The identifier labels both the data content and the priority of the message being sent. Each module
can begin transmitting its most important data as soon as the bus is unoccupied. When more than
one module starts to transmit simultaneously, the message with the highest priority is assigned first
access. A module responds to failure to gain access by automatically switching to receive mode,
the module then repeats the transmission attempt as soon as the bus is free again.
HIGH SPEED GMLAN SERIAL DATA LINE (PHT)
The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the high speed GMLAN
serial data circuit through the CANdi module. The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires
that allow speed up to 500 Kbps. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is
internal to the ECM and the other is internal to the ESCM. The resistors are used to reduce noise
on the high speed GMLAN bus 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. The idle level which is approximately 2.5
volts is considered a recessive transmitted data and is interpreted as a logic 1. Driving the lines to
their extremes adds 1 volt to high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and subtracts 1 volt from high
speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) wire. This dominant state is interpreted as a logic 0. GMLAN
network management supports selective start up and is based on virtual networks. A virtual
network is a collection of signals started in response to a vehicle event. The starting of a virtual
network signifies that a particular aspect of the vehicles's functionality has been requested. A
virtual network is supported by virtual devices which represents a collection of signals owned by a
single physical device. So, any physical device can have one or more virtual devices. The signal
supervision is the process of determining whether an expected signal is being received or not.
Failsofting is the ability to substitute a signal with a default value or a default algorithm, in the
absence of a valid signal. Some messages are also interpreted as a 'heartbeat' of a virtual device.
If such a signal is lost, the application will set a no communication code against the respective
virtual device. This code is mapped as a code against the physical device. Note that a loss of serial
data DTC does not normally represent a failure of the module that set it.
The powertrain control module (PCM) and hybrid control module (HCM) are functionally
communicating on both class 2 and high speed GMLAN data links. However the diagnostic
communication of the above modules with the scan tool is performed on class 2 data link only. All
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) set by the high speed GMLAN modules, including HCM, are
reported by the PCM on class 2. Data displaying, output controls and programming of the control
modules connected to high speed GMLAN only, is performed through high speed GMLAN link.
The GMLAN serial data communications circuit is in a linear topology. The following modules are
connected to the link, in order from DLC to the end of the linear configuration: The energy storage control module (ESCM)
- The starter/generator control module (SGCM)
- The electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS)
- The hybrid control module (HCM)
- The powertrain control module (PCM)

- The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
- The transmission control module (TCM)
- The transfer case shift control module (TCSCM)
- The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
3. The following DTCs may be retrieved with a history status, but are not the cause of the present
condition.
- U1300
- U1301
- U1305
6. A state of health DTC with a history status may be present along with a U1000 or U1255 code
having a current status. This indicates that the
malfunction occurred when the ignition was ON.
7. Data link connector terminals 2 and 5 provide the connection to the class 2 serial data circuit and
the signal ground circuit respectively.
10. A poor connection at DLC terminal of the splice pack SP205 would cause this condition but will
not set a DTC. 11. An open or a short in the class 2 serial data circuit between the DLC and splice
pack SP205 will prevent the scan tool from communicating with
any module. This condition will not set a DTC.
13. This test isolates the BCM class 2 serial data circuits. 16. The BCM detects that the ignition is
ON and sends the appropriate power mode message to the other modules. Therefore, the BCM
must remain
connected to the DLC for any other module to communicate with the scan tool. This test isolates
the splice pack SP207 serial data circuits.
21. This test isolates the rest of the splice pack SP205 serial data circuits. 25. If there are no
current DTCs that begin with a "U", the communication malfunction has been repaired. 26. The
communication malfunction may have prevented diagnosis of the customer complaint.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
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.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2012 model year and update information.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-07-30-001B (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a small red fluid/oil leak during cold weather. Upon further
investigation, the technician may find a small fluid leak in the area at the back of the transmission
by the vent.
Cause
This condition may be caused by fluid being discharged out the transmission vent due to a low
transmission fluid fill. During extreme cold weather, (approximately -25°C (-15°F or colder), low
fluid fill can cause the transmission pump to ingest air which can aerate the fluid and push some
fluid out the vent.
Correction
On 2001 through 2012 models, verify the transmission is full of fluid. Follow the SI fluid checking
procedure to PROPERLY check the transmission fluid level using the Hot Check Procedure.
Important Ensure that the fluid level is at the top of the HOT band when the transmission fluid
temperature is 79°C (175°F). Refer to SI Document ID# 2408059 for the proper fluid level checking
procedure.
Note
Only on 2001-2004 models, replace the transmission fluid indicator (dipstick) with a new vented
indicator, P/N 15794381.

Body Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4901
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM
to autorange to an appropriate range.

Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4903
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4904
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4905
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4906
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Instructions > Page 4917
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.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
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. Insure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4918
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4919
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs
SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4922
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Instructions > Page 4923
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The body control module (BCM) monitors several inputs in order to arm and disarm the CTD
system. The BCM controls the alarm function outputs. When the BCM detects an unauthorized
entry (any door opened), the BCM applies ground to the horn, the park lamp and the headlamp
relays. The BCM will send messages to the security telltale in the instrument cluster through the
Class 2 serial data link. The BCM has the following 8 basic modes for operating the CTD system.
The more detailed descriptions are below.
- Off state
- Idle state
- Disarmed state
- Ready-to-arm state
- Arm initiated state
- Arm delay state
- Armed state
- Alarm state
The BCM has the following 6 discrete inputs in order to monitor the CTD system:
- Ignition 1
- Driver door latch (door jamb) switch
- Passenger door latch (door jamb) switch
- Door lock relay
- Door key switch
- Passenger door unlock relay
The BCM applies ground once per second for approximately 2 minutes, or until a valid input to
disarm the system is received by the BCM.
The Body Control Module (BCM) contains the theft deterrent system logic. The BCM reads the
Passlock(TM) data from the Passlock(TM) sensor. If the Passlock(TM) data is correct, the BCM will
pass theft. The BCM will then transmit the fuel continue password to the VCM/PCM.
During the tamper mode the vehicle may start. The vehicle will then stall. If the BCM receives the
wrong Passlock(TM) data, the VTD will immediately go into the tamper mode. The tamper mode
will lock-out the vehicle fuel injectors for 10 minutes. The SECURITY indicator will flash while the
VTD is in the tamper mode.
If the Passlock(TM) sensor sends a correct password to the BCM when the ignition is in the ON
position, the BCM will send a fuel enable signal to the VCM/PCM. The VCM/PCM will not disable
the fuel due to any BCM message for the remainder of the ignition cycle.

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

Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4960
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.

Caution
Customers should be informed if a hard part failure is observed in the engine, transmission,
transfer case and/or other driveline components, it is likely that powertrain components were
weakened to the point of premature failure, while subjected to the higher stresses from Aftermarket
Power-Up Devices. Failures associated with the installation of Aftermarket Power-Up Devices,
which have been verified, are not covered under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty. In the
majority of these cases, the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM) (in Canada, Warranty Manager)
should be contacted and the remaining portion of the powertrain portion of the New Vehicle
Warranty blocked. GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty
claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage.
General Motors Position On Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Important General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that,
when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
04-06-04-054A or newer - Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Important For further information on aftermarket power-up kits, refer to February 2006 Emerging
Issues Course Number 10206.02D. In Canada, information on aftermarket power-up kits was
covered in the April 2006 TAC TALK program.
Aftermarket power-up devices are non-approved by General Motors. These devices are usually
piggy-backed in the main engine harness or remain connected to the diagnostic connector to
upload the calibration to the ECM. Recent warranty reviews of returned engines show engine
breakdown or non-function due to power-up devices that are utilized for increased horsepower and
torque. The following information will assist technicians in identifying overpower engine breakdown
or non-function due to aftermarket power-up devices vs. non overpower engine breakdown or
non-function.
Non-GM parts can alter the design of the vehicle. GM dealers need to be aware of the quality of
parts being installed on vehicles. If failure occurs as a result of installation of sub-par parts,
warranty coverage may be denied. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A or newer Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Installed Power-Up Kit
Aftermarket power-up kits have become a very popular add on for performance-minded customers.
These devices can add horsepower and torque and can add additional stress to the engine. These
aftermarket calibrations take the Duramax(TM) powertrain outside of its design torque and
horsepower rating. They do this by altering air/fuel ratios and injector timing, resulting in excessive
cylinder pressure and temperature. When these calibrated parameters are altered, it will upset the
design balance and can lead to a reduction of engine life expectancy. Generally, in inspection of
Duramax(TM) engine failure due to power-up failures, two or more cylinders will be affected.
Installed Power-Up Kit
- Once installed, the calibration may mask itself with the factory original calibration ID and may
remain the same. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006F or newer - Information on
Identifying Non-GM Calibration Usage for LMM Duramax(TM) Diesel Engine.

Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4962
- A Tech 2(R) will not positively enable you to identify the use of a power-up device.
- Some companies that offer power-up devices claim increases of 150 or more horsepower and
300 or more lb/ft pounds of torque.
- A vehicle that is used to the power-up device potential 100% of the time will see earlier engine
wear and breakdown.
- A vehicle that takes advantage of additional power, but on a less frequent basis, may not see
premature engine wear and breakdown until later in the engine's life.
- A vehicle not pushed to its limits of the power-up device often may not encounter premature wear
and breakdown until after the engine is out of warranty.
Duramax(TM) Powertrain Horsepower / Torque Ratings
The following horsepower and torque increase over the past years required new internal
components to accommodate the increase.
- LB7 - 300 hp with 520 ft/lb of torque for model years 2000-2004
- LLY - 310 hp with 605 ft/lb of torque for model years 2004-2008
- LBZ - 360 hp with 650 ft/lb of torque for model year 2006-2008
- LMM - 365 hp with 660 ft/lb of torque for model year 2007-2009
LBZ Improvements
To reliably achieve an increase in 50 horsepower with 45 ft/lb torque, the Duramax (TM) diesel had
to be revised in many areas. A few of the revisions on the 2006 LBZ were:
- New pistons with a revised compression ratio.
- Wrist pins that are larger in diameter.
- Connecting rods with added material to increase the I section strength.
- Engine block and machining changes
- Cylinder heads
Duramax(TM) Life Expectancy
The Duramax(TM) 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel Engine is sold with a warranty of 100,000 miles/160,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) has been tested to survive upwards of 200,000 miles/320,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) powertrain is designed for reliability, peak horsepower and torque
within its design limits. When a customer installs a power-up device, it drastically reduces the
mileage ratings.
Important Cylinder Wall Spotting (commonly referred to leopard spots) is from the induction
hardening process of the top 1/3 of the cylinder wall. This is normal for the Duramax (TM) Diesel.
Identifying Fuel Related Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Aftermarket companies have developed a performance pressure relief fuel valve for Duramax(TM)
diesel engines. Refer to above graphic illustration. The performance pressure relief fuel valve
attaches to the fuel rail in place of the OEM valve and will not allow any fuel return to the tank,
giving 100% of the fuel to be available for additional engine performance. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may set the following DTCs:
- DTC P1093 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Low During Power Enrichment
- DTC P0087 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Too Low

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine
Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4963
Aftermarket companies have developed a replacement performance/economy fuel injector nozzle.
Refer to above illustration. The performance/economy fuel injector nozzles replace the OEM fuel
injector nozzles. The aftermarket companies claim increased horsepower, improved fuel
atomization, lower exhaust gas temperatures and increase fuel economy. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may cause internal engine damage to the pistons
and fuel injector nozzles.
Identifying Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
When premature wear and breakdown is encountered due to an aftermarket power-up device, it
has some very specific characteristics to the internal engine components. The following list will
assist in identifying these characteristics as you tear down the engine.
- Pistons will be cracked in the lip area, or a hole in the pistons.
- Pistons can also be melted on the lip of the combustion bowl, or the top of the pistons can be
melted.
- Crosshatch will be polished off the cylinder wall in the major thrust face of cylinder below ring belt
travel.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine
Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4964
- Piston pin bore will show signs of scoring, the wrist pins will be discolored, and can have oil
coking on them. The connecting rod bushing surface will have accelerated wear. The above
illustration shows a connecting rod bushing.
- Oil coking on the underside of the piston between the wrist pin bosses.
- Signs of bearing fretting will also be noticed on the connecting rod and main bearing caps. Refer
to the above illustration for fretting of main bearing cap 1 and back side of connection rod bearing
2.
- Excessive heat in engine compartment caused by overpower device. Refer to above illustration
(1).
Non Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
The following pictures show results of overheat, overspeed, low/no oil pressure or injector
breakdown and how they differ from aftermarket power-up device premature wear and breakdown.
Engine Overheat
Overheat can be caused by a loss of coolant or a general cooling system failure. Some of the
indicators of overheat are:

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine
Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4965
- Melted pistons.
- Head gasket breakdown or non-function.
- Warped cylinder heads.
- Crankshaft and connecting rod discolored.
Engine Overspeed Causes
If an engine has been run faster than design capability (redline), and has caused damage as a
result, it may be a result of one of the following conditions:
- Leaking or failed turbocharger (TC) oil seals.
- Oil evident in the intake runners and compressor side of the TC.
- Starting fluid use or alternative fuel added to the engine such as ether.
Engine Overspeed Results
The following are indicators that an overspeed event took place:
- Valve train damage.
- Pushrods that are bent (4).
- Broken valve bridge buttons after cylinder head removal (2).
- Rocker arm tip damage (1).
- Dry or rusted cylinders from the use of ether, propane or nitrous oxide.
- Piston to valve contact.
- Cam gear pin shear.
Lack of Oil Pressure
Lack of lubrication causes rapid bearing wear or bearing to seize.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine
Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4966
Bearing failure. Spun main bearings.
Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown Due to Improper Function of Fuel Injector
A fuel injector may fracture a piston or melt a piston but the damage will be limited to that cylinder
only and all other pistons and cylinder walls are OK. In some cases hydraulic lock will occur on the
suspected cylinder with an over-fueling fuel injector. Hydraulic lock on the suspected cylinder will
cause a bent connecting rod. This can be verified with piston protrusion measurements.
2007-2010 RPO LMM Only Turbocharger DTC P003A Set
General Motors has identified a turbocharger (TC) failure mode involving Power-Up Kits that
causes soot leakage and DTC P003A to be set. The Power-Up Kits create an overtemperature
condition from the increased exhaust gas temperatures that results in a permanent and excessive
turbine housing distortion at the TC case halves.
1. A technician may observe one or more of the following conditions:
- DTC P003A being set as Current or in History.
- An unusual odor emanating from the TC due to an overtemperature condition.
- Soot leaking and accumulating at the V-band clamp that secures the TC case halves together.
- Limited or unresponsive travel when Commanding the TC Vane Pos. Ctrl. Solenoid ON and OFF
with a scan tool.
2. If DTC P003A is found as Current or in History, OR there is evidence of soot leakage (1) in the
area of the V-band clamp (1), then technicians
MUST verify if the engine control module (ECM) has a Power-Up Kit aftermarket calibration
installed or an aftermarket hardware device has been installed. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
08-06-04-006F or newer for the calibration verification information and procedures.
How to Handle a Suspect Engine Failure Due to a Power-Up Device
Dealers should not automatically decline warranty assistance on engine failures due to the fact that
a power-up device or modification is evident or suspected. The technician must identify that the
failure is due to a power-up device by teardown analysis and diagnosis of the engine components.
The following steps should be taken if an engine failure occurs and it is suspected that the
modification or addition of a power-up device maybe the cause of the engine failure. If unclear of
this process or direction feel free to contact your Fixed Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty
Manager) for further support.
1. The technician should use proper engine diagnostics to lead him/her to the failed engine
components. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List
should be followed and if it is determined that at least three of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check
List items match the engine component failures then it can be decided that the failure is not a
warrantable claim.
2. Engine failures that meet at least three criteria of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List are
considered failures that are not manufacturer's
defects in workmanship or materials.
3. The dealership should contact the PQC, open a case to review the findings and make the final
decision on warranty coverage. The Fixed
Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty Manager) should be notified of the PQC decision.

Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage > Page 4967
4. Denied claims should be documented as follows:
1. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List completed with the technicians detailed written
findings of the diagnosis on the repair order and
retained in the repair order file.
2. Photographs of the failed parts should be retained in the repair order file.
5. The customer should be advised that the failure of their engine was not due to a manufacturer's
defect in workmanship or materials and therefore
the warranty claim is denied on this failure.
Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List
Important Print and use this aftermarket power-up kit check list when performing an engine
disassembly investigation of overpower engine breakdown or non-function. Retain a copy of this
checklist and photographs of the failed parts in the repair order file.

Passlock Function
Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Passlock Function
VEHICLE/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The VCM/PCM communicates with the BCM over the Class 2 serial data line. When the BCM
determines a no start condition, it sends a Class 2 serial data password to the VCM/PCM in order
to disable the fuel injection system. If the BCM receives the expected voltage from the
Passlock(TM) sensor, the BCM sends a class 2 serial data password to the VCM/PCM in order to
enable the fuel injection system. The VCM/PCM then allows the vehicle to start correctly. If the
Class 2 serial data password from the BCM to the VCM/PCM is not within the Vehicle Security
Status Message, the fuel injectors will shut OFF during a start attempt. The SECURITY telltale will
be illuminated for 10 minutes. If the VCM/PCM does not receive the same password from the BCM
as the last learned one, the vehicle will start and then stalls due to the Fuel Lockout.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Engine Control Module (ECM)
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) processes the various input information. The ECM sends the
necessary electrical responses to control fuel delivery.
The input information has an interrelation to more than one output. One failed input can affect more
than one systems operation.
Diagnostic System Check - Computers and Control Systems The Diagnostic System Check Computers and Control Systems is an organized approach to identify a problem caused by an
electronic engine control system malfunction.
This diagnostic check must be the starting point for any driveability complaint diagnosis. The
diagnostic directs the technician to the next logical step in diagnosing the complaint.
Use the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions list for a comparison after fulfilling the following items: Complete the Diagnostic System Check-Computers and Control Systems.
- Confirm that the on-board diagnostics are functioning properly.
- Confirm there are no diagnostic trouble codes.
The Engine Scan Tool Definitions are an average of display values recorded from normal operating
vehicles. The definitions intend to represent what a normal functioning system should display.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a scan tool that displays faulty data. Report the problem to the
manufacturer. Using a malfunctioning scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts
replacement. Use only the parameters listed in the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions for
diagnosis. When a scan tool reads other parameters, General Motors recommends not using the
values for use in diagnosis. For more description on the values and the use of the scan tool to
diagnose the ECM inputs, refer to the applicable diagnostic file. When all the values are within the
range illustrated in the Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions, refer to Symptoms - Computers and
Control Systems.
Control Module Communications The control module system has a computer, the engine control
module (ECM), to control fuel delivery, timing, and some emission control systems. The control
module system monitors a number of engine and vehicle functions and controls the following
operations through the fuel injection control module (FICM): Fuel rail pressure
- Fuel injector
- Fuel injector pulse width
The diesel ECM, located in the engine compartment, is the control center of the control module
system. The engine control module used on the electronic fuel injected 6.6L diesel is referred to as
a ECM.
The ECM constantly looks at the information from various sensors, and controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance. The ECM performs the diagnostic function of the system. The ECM can
recognize operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL. Service Engine Soon, and store
one or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which identify the problem areas to aid the technician
in making repairs. See the specific diagnosis procedure for more information.
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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Passlock Function > Page 4986
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.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment Any equipment installed on a vehicle after
leaving the factory that connects to the electrical or vacuum systems of the vehicle defines
aftermarket (Add-On) electrical and vacuum equipment. The vehicle design makes no allowances
for this type of equipment.
NOTE: -
Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on vacuum
equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
- Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at the
battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
The add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include any equipment which is not connected to
the electrical system of the vehicle such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step
in diagnosing any powertrain problem is to eliminate all of the aftermarket electrical equipment from
the vehicle. After this is done, if the problem still exists, diagnose the problem in the normal
manner.
Computers and Control Systems Information The driveability and emissions information describes
the function and operation of the control module. The emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and
repair of problems related to the system.
Engine Components, Wiring Diagrams, and Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables: The Component Locations
- The Wiring Diagrams
- The Control Module Terminal End View and Terminal Definitions
- The Diagnostic System Check - Computers and Control Systems
- The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables
The Component System includes the following items: The component and circuit description
- The On-vehicle service for each subsystem
- The Functional checks with the diagnostic tables
- How To Use Electrical Systems Diagnostic Information
The DTCs also contain the diagnostic support information containing the circuit or the system
information, and helpful diagnostic information.
Wiring Harness Service The control module harness electrically connects the control module to the
various solenoids, switches, and sensors in the vehicle engine compartment and passenger
compartment.

Passlock Function > Page 4987
Replace the wire harnesses with the proper part number replacement. When splicing signal wires
into a harness, use the wiring that has high temperature insulation.
Consider the low amperage and voltage levels utilized in the powertrain control systems. Make the
best possible bond at all splices. Use rosin-core solder in these areas.
Molded-on connectors require complete replacement of the connector. Splice a new connector into
the harness. Replacement connectors and terminals are listed in Group 8.965 in the Standard
Parts Catalog.
Connectors and Terminals In order to prevent shorting between opposite terminals, use care when
probing a connector and when replacing terminals. Damage to the components could result.
Always use jumper wires between connectors for circuit checking.
Never probe through the Weather-Pack seals.
The J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit , or the equivalent, contains an assortment of flexible
connectors used in order to probe the terminals during the diagnosis. The fuse remover and the
BT-8616 Test Tool, or the equivalent, is used for removing a fuse and to adapt the fuse holder to a
meter for diagnosis.
Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight because oxidation or terminal misalignment are
hidden by the connectors. Merely wiggling a connector on a sensor or in the wiring harness may
temporarily correct the open circuit. Oxidized or loose connections may cause intermittent
problems.
Be certain the type of connector and terminal before making any connector or terminal repair.
Weather-Pack and Com-Pack III terminals look similar, but are serviced differently.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) 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.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
- To prevent internal ECM damage, the ignition switch must be OFF when disconnecting or
connecting power to the ECM.
- Remove any debris from the ECM connector surfaces before servicing the ECM. Inspect the ECM
module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the ECM. Ensure that the gaskets are
installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant intrusion into the ECM.
- The replacement ECM must programmed.
- It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programed
with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100%. If the replacement module
is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at
5000km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.
1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position (APP) system along with the vehicle electronics and components is
used to calculate and control the amount of acceleration and deceleration via fuel injector control.
This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to a throttle
body.
The APP system includes, but is not limited to, the following components :
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor assembly
- The engine control module (ECM)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted
on the accelerator pedal control assembly. The sensor is made up of 3 individual sensors within
one housing. Three separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used in order
to interface the accelerator pedal sensor assembly with the ECM. Each sensor has a unique
functionality to determine pedal position. The ECM uses the APP sensor to determine the amount
of acceleration or deceleration desired by the person driving the vehicle. The APP sensor 1 voltage
should increase as the accelerator pedal is depressed, from below 1.0 volt at 0 pedal travel to
above 2 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 2 voltage should decrease from above 4
volts at 0 pedal travel to below 3.0 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 3 voltage should
decrease from above 3.8 volts at 0 percent pedal travel to below 3.3 volts at 100 percent pedal
travel.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The engine control
module (ECM) sends the fuel level information via the class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster
(IPC). This information is used for the instrument panel (I/P) fuel gage and the low fuel warning
indicator, if applicable. The ECM also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

^ "7" (shifter should be in the Reverse position)
^ "5" (shifter should be in the Drive position)
^ "3" (shifter should be in the Third gear position)
^ "2" (shifter should be in the Second gear position)
^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

9. Remove and discard the neutral assurance bracket.
Important:
Installation of the front shield and rear shields are important. Without proper installation of the
shield, a return repair is probable. Follow all directions as listed on the installation instructions
sheet included in the Switch kit, P/N 29540479.
10. Fit the new shield onto the PNP switch so that it fits securely against the switch. Make sure this
is done before reinstalling the shift lever.
11. Reinstall the shift lever. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, install the nut on
the end of the selector shaft.
Tighten.
Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 lb ft).
12. Connect the wiring harness connectors to the PNP switch.
13. Attach the selector cable to the lever. Check and adjust if needed.
14. Go back to step 4 of the Diagnostics and insure the Tech 2 readings match the shift lever
positions.

wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).

^ "2" (shifter should be in the Second gear position)
^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

The reaction sun gear (673) may not hold inside the reaction sun shell (670).
Correction
Important:
There are FOUR distinct groups of vehicles and repair procedures involved. Vehicles built in the
2001 model year and prior that make use of a reaction shaft to shell thrust washer:
^ The sun shell can be identified by four square holes used to retain the thrust washer. Use
reaction sun shell P/N 24228345, reaction carrier to shell thrust washer (699B) P/N 8642202 and
reaction sun gear shell thrust washer (674) P/N 8642331er (674) P/N 8642331along with the
appropriate seals and washers listed below.
^ Vehicles built in the 2001 model year and prior that have had previous service to the reaction sun
shell: It is possible that some 2001 and prior model year vehicles have had previous service to the
reaction sun shell. At the time of service, these vehicles may have been updated with a Reaction
Sun Shell Kit (Refer to Service Bulletin 020730003) without four square holes to retain the thrust
washer. If it is found in a 2001 model year and prior vehicles that the reaction sun shell DOES NOT
have four square holes to retain the thrust washer, these vehicles must be serviced with P/Ns
24229825 (674), 24217328 and 8642331 along with the appropriate seals and washers listed
below.
^ Vehicles built in the 2001 model year and later that make use of a reaction shaft to shell thrust
bearing: The sun shell can be identified by no holes to retain the thrust washer. Use reaction sun
shell, P/N 24229825, reaction carrier shaft to shell thrust bearing (669A), P/N 24217328 and
reaction sun gear shell thrust washer (674), P/N 8642331 along with the appropriate seals and
washers listed below.
^ Vehicles built from November, 2001 through June, 2002: These vehicles should have the reaction
carrier shaft replaced when the sun shell is replaced. Use shell kit P/N 24229853, which contains a
sun shell (670), a reaction carrier shaft (666), a reaction carrier shaft to shell thrust bearing (669A)
and a reaction sun gear shell thrust washer (674). The appropriate seals and washers listed below
should also be used.
When servicing the transmission as a result of this condition, the transmission oil cooler and lines
MUST be flushed. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-052.
Follow the service procedure below for diagnosis and correction of the no reverse, no second, no
forth condition.
Important:
If metallic debris is found on the transmission magnet, the transmission must be completely
disassembled and cleaned. Metallic debris is defined as broken parts and pieces of internal
transmission components. This should not be confused with typical "normal" fine particles found on
all transmission magnets. Failure to properly clean the transmission case and internal components
may lead to additional repeat repairs.
1. Remove the transmission oil pan and inspect the magnet in the bottom of the pan for metal
debris. Refer to SI Document ID # 825141.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008-2010 model years, update the tire size
information and reference the vehicle tire information label locations. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 01-03-10-010F (Section 03 - Suspension).
GM has developed and matched specific tires for your vehicle. The original equipment tires and
their respective size installed on the vehicle when it was new, were designed to meet General
Motors Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) system rating. GM's exclusive TPC
Spec system considers over a dozen critical specifications that impact the overall performance of
the vehicle.
A truck that has different tires and wheels from the original equipment designed for that vehicle will
have engine power/performance concerns, transmission shift concerns, speedometer registered
speed concerns, cruise control concerns and increased steering effort, especially during parking lot
maneuvers at slow speeds.
The engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM) use engine speed
(RPM) and vehicle speed sensor (VSS) inputs as operational parameters for engine torque,
transmission shifting, cruise control operation and speedometer indicated vehicle speed.
Calibrations for different tire/wheel combinations are not available.
Therefore, changing of tire and/or wheel size should not be undertaken by dealerships or truck
owners.
Proper diagnosis of engine, transmission, speedometer and cruise control concerns MUST begin
with an inspection of tire/wheel size.
Important A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the center pillar
(B-pillar) of the vehicle. With the driver's door open, you will find the label attached below the door
lock post (striker). The label shows the size of the original equipment tires and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures.A vehicle specific Certification/Tire label is found on the rear edge of
the driver's door. The label shows the size of the original equipment tires and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and additional model information and add
graphics. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-011B (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

Switch/Sensor: > 02-07-30-011C > Jun > 04 > A/T - Slow/No Gear Engagement/Engine No Start > Page 5150
Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

^ "7" (shifter should be in the Reverse position)
^ "5" (shifter should be in the Drive position)
^ "3" (shifter should be in the Third gear position)
^ "2" (shifter should be in the Second gear position)
^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

9. Remove and discard the neutral assurance bracket.
Important:
Installation of the front shield and rear shields are important. Without proper installation of the
shield, a return repair is probable. Follow all directions as listed on the installation instructions
sheet included in the Switch kit, P/N 29540479.
10. Fit the new shield onto the PNP switch so that it fits securely against the switch. Make sure this
is done before reinstalling the shift lever.
11. Reinstall the shift lever. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, install the nut on
the end of the selector shaft.
Tighten.
Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 lb ft).
12. Connect the wiring harness connectors to the PNP switch.
13. Attach the selector cable to the lever. Check and adjust if needed.
14. Go back to step 4 of the Diagnostics and insure the Tech 2 readings match the shift lever
positions.
Important:
Clear all DTCs before returning the vehicle to the customer.
15. Return the vehicle to the customer.

now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

9. Remove and discard the neutral assurance bracket.
Important:
Installation of the front shield and rear shields are important. Without proper installation of the
shield, a return repair is probable. Follow all directions as listed on the installation instructions
sheet included in the Switch kit, P/N 29540479.
10. Fit the new shield onto the PNP switch so that it fits securely against the switch. Make sure this
is done before reinstalling the shift lever.
11. Reinstall the shift lever. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, install the nut on
the end of the selector shaft.
Tighten.
Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 lb ft).
12. Connect the wiring harness connectors to the PNP switch.
13. Attach the selector cable to the lever. Check and adjust if needed.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008-2010 model years, update the tire size
information and reference the vehicle tire information label locations. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 01-03-10-010F (Section 03 - Suspension).
GM has developed and matched specific tires for your vehicle. The original equipment tires and
their respective size installed on the vehicle when it was new, were designed to meet General
Motors Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) system rating. GM's exclusive TPC
Spec system considers over a dozen critical specifications that impact the overall performance of
the vehicle.
A truck that has different tires and wheels from the original equipment designed for that vehicle will
have engine power/performance concerns, transmission shift concerns, speedometer registered
speed concerns, cruise control concerns and increased steering effort, especially during parking lot
maneuvers at slow speeds.
The engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM) use engine speed
(RPM) and vehicle speed sensor (VSS) inputs as operational parameters for engine torque,
transmission shifting, cruise control operation and speedometer indicated vehicle speed.
Calibrations for different tire/wheel combinations are not available.
Therefore, changing of tire and/or wheel size should not be undertaken by dealerships or truck
owners.
Proper diagnosis of engine, transmission, speedometer and cruise control concerns MUST begin
with an inspection of tire/wheel size.
Important A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the center pillar
(B-pillar) of the vehicle. With the driver's door open, you will find the label attached below the door
lock post (striker). The label shows the size of the original equipment tires and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures.A vehicle specific Certification/Tire label is found on the rear edge of
the driver's door. The label shows the size of the original equipment tires and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position (APP) system along with the vehicle electronics and components is
used to calculate and control the amount of acceleration and deceleration via fuel injector control.
This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to a throttle
body.
The APP system includes, but is not limited to, the following components :
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor assembly
- The engine control module (ECM)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted
on the accelerator pedal control assembly. The sensor is made up of 3 individual sensors within
one housing. Three separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used in order
to interface the accelerator pedal sensor assembly with the ECM. Each sensor has a unique
functionality to determine pedal position. The ECM uses the APP sensor to determine the amount
of acceleration or deceleration desired by the person driving the vehicle. The APP sensor 1 voltage
should increase as the accelerator pedal is depressed, from below 1.0 volt at 0 pedal travel to
above 2 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 2 voltage should decrease from above 4
volts at 0 pedal travel to below 3.0 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 3 voltage should
decrease from above 3.8 volts at 0 percent pedal travel to below 3.3 volts at 100 percent pedal
travel.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

Subject: Information on the Proper Air Filter for the Duramax(R) Diesel
Models: 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2001-2005 GMC Sierra
with 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2 - RPOs LB7, LLY)
The Duramax(R) air filter, P/N 25332443, is specific to the diesel engine due to the operating
characteristics of a turbo charged diesel engine. The turbo allows for a much greater air volume
rate than a normal aspirated engine. The Duramax(R) diesel air filter is reinforced to eliminate
damage from the increased airflow of the turbo. The reinforcement is visually identified by the five
ribs of epoxy that lies across the pleats of the clean side of the filter.
If the correct air filter is not used, the filter may collapse or be torn in a Duramax(R) application.
This damage will allow dust and dirt to be ingested into the turbo and engine causing serious
damage. This damage is usually identified at the turbo vanes as well as extreme wear in the
cylinder walls of the engine.
There is evidence of gasoline engine air filters being used in the Duaramax(R) application. The 8.1
gas air filter, P/N 25313349, will fit into the air box of the Duramax(R) diesel; however, it does not
have the required reinforcement of the diesel air filter. The 8.1 liter gas engine air filter should
never be used in a Duramax(R) diesel engine.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP
Fuel Injection Pump
The fuel injection pump is a mechanical high pressure pump. The fuel injection pump is located
below the intake manifold. Fuel is pumped from the fuel tank to the fuel rails at a specified
pressure. Fuel pressure is regulated by a valve on the inlet of the fuel pump, controlled by the
ECM. Excess fuel from the fuel injection pump returns to the fuel tank through the fuel return pipe
and a fuel cooler.

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,

Subject: Information on Diesel Fuel Requirements - Service Engine Soon (SES) Indicator ON, Loss
of Power, Filter Life Percentage Low as a Result of Fuel Filter Plugged/Incorrect Fuel Grade
Models: 2001-2008 Chevrolet Express, Silverado 2001-2008 GMC Savana, Sierra
with 6.6L Duramax(TM) Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2, D, 6 -- RPOs LB7, LLY, LB7, LMM)
Attention:
This bulletin indicates a fuel quality concern that is NOT covered under the new vehicle warranty. If
a vehicle exhibits this condition due to poor fuel quality issues, please give a copy of this bulletin to
the customer. You should also review the fuel requirements below so that the customer will have
an understanding of the proper fuels available.
This bulletin is being issued to inform dealers of the proper diesel fuel use requirements.
If vehicle concerns related to low rail pressure are experienced and if the Filter Life Percentage is
low and/or the DTC indicates a plugged filter, a restricted fuel filter is the most likely cause or
contributor to the condition. Filter/fuel supply restriction should be confirmed by measuring the
vacuum at the schrader valve/service port. Vacuum readings of 6 in Hg or greater at idle indicate a
restricted filter which is in need of service and may be the root cause or a contributor to the
conditions being experienced. When the filter is changed and vacuum readings are reduced to a
normal range of 2-3 in-Hg, fuel filter restriction cause is confirmed.
If the fuel filter is found restricted before its expected replacement interval, the cause may be use of
contaminated/dirty fuel, improper fuel, or out of specification fuel. Fuel removed from the filter, lines
or tank that is not clear and bright in color (clouded) confirm fuel quality concerns. When concerns
are encountered in cold operation, the fuel should be inspected in a cold condition.
If the filter can is removed (using a suitable filter cutter), the filter pleat block may be inspected for
indications of possible causes of premature plugging. A pleat block with the presence of deposits
on the walls and bottom of the filter may indicate use of contaminated or degraded fuel or a filter
that has been run significantly beyond its service interval. The presence of significant sediment
and/or rust in the can are also signs of the presence of excessive water or contamination. A "slimy"
coating on the pleat block filter may indicate the use of an out of specification biodiesel or
unapproved bio-fuel (raw vegetable oil, cooking oil, unprocessed oils, etc.).
^ Diesel fuel containing biodiesel in concentrations greater than 5% (B5) is NOT allowable and may
contribute to fuel system concerns. Initial use of biodiesel and particularly higher blends may
contribute to premature filter plugging from loosening normal levels of gums and varnish on tank,
lines, and fuel system components.
^ Biodiesel blends have higher clouding/filter plugging temperatures than base diesel fuels and
must be blended for an acceptable clouding performance during cold operation. Fuel suppliers are
expected to provide both normal and biodiesel fuels blended properly for the climatic conditions of
the region of sale and time of year. Use of "summer" blends in cold seasons due to extended fuel
or vehicle storage can result in filter restriction.
^ Biodiesel blends that are stored for extended periods of time, particularly if stored at warm
temperature, may deteriorate (oxidize) and contribute to fuel system corrosion and/or filter
restriction.
^ The finding of significant water in the filter/water separator, particularly immediately following a
tank fill-up, may indicate the introduction of out of specification fuel. The presence of water in diesel
fuel storage can support biological growth in diesel fuel which can lead to premature filter plugging.
Engine or fuel system repairs resulting from the use of improper fuel, including concentrations of
biodiesel that exceed 5%, are NOT covered under the terms of the new vehicle warranty.
Restricted fuel filters causing engine/vehicle performance conditions should be paid by the
customer and the vehicle fuel requirements reviewed with the vehicle operator.
Fuel Requirements
Notice:
Never use home heating oil or gasoline in your vehicle's diesel engine. They can cause engine
damage.

The emission control system requires the use of diesel fuel with ultra low-sulfur (0.0015% by
weight, or 15 ppm, maximum) content. Both Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and Low Sulfur Diesel fuels are
available in the United States and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel is available in Canada. However,
only higher sulfur diesel fuel is available in Mexico.
At a minimum, the diesel fuel you use should meet the latest version of ASTM specification D 975
(Grades No. 2-D or No. 1-D S15 commonly known as Ultra Low Sulfur diesel) in the United States.
In addition, the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) has identified properties of an improved
diesel fuel for better engine performance and durability. Diesel fuels corresponding to the EMA
Consensus Position - Joint EMA/TMC Pump Grade Specification for Premium Diesel Fuel, could
provide better starting, less noise, and better vehicle performance. If there are questions about the
fuel you are using, contact your fuel supplier.
In the United States, for best results use No. 2-D diesel fuel year-round (above and below freezing
conditions) as oil companies blend No. 2-D fuel to address climate differences. No. 1-D diesel fuel
can be used in very cold temperatures (when it stays below 0°F or -18°C); however, it will produce
a power and fuel economy loss. Avoid the use of No. 1-D diesel fuel in warm or hot climates. It can
result in stalling, poor starting when the engine is hot, and could damage the fuel injection system.
Because of the cleansing properties of biodiesel, switching from straight diesel to a biodiesel blend
can prematurely restrict the fuel filter with normal deposits in the fuel system. A fuel filter
replacement might be required sooner than the recommended interval.
What Fuels to Use - Canada
The emission control system requires the use of diesel fuel with ultra low-sulfur (0.0015% by
weight, or 15 ppm, maximum) content. Both Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and Low Sulfur Diesel fuels are
available in the United States and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel is available in Canada.
At a minimum, the diesel fuel you use should meet the latest version of specification
CAN/CGSB-3.517 (ULS) in Canada. In addition, the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) has
identified properties of an improved diesel fuel for better engine performance and durability (EMA
Consensus Position - Joint EMA/TMC Pump Grade Specification for Premium Diesel Fuel). Diesel
fuels corresponding to the EMA description could provide better starting, less noise, and better
vehicle performance. If there are questions about the fuel you are using, contact your fuel supplier.
Canadian fuels are blended for seasonal changes. Diesel Type "A" fuel is blended for better cold
weather starting (below 0°F or -18°C); however, you might notice some power and fuel economy
loss. If Type "A" fuel is used in warmer temperatures, stalling and hard starting may occur. Diesel
Type "B" fuel is blended for temperatures above 0°F (-18°C).
Biodiesel Fuels
It is acceptable to use diesel fuel containing up to 5% biodiesel (B5), but the final blended fuel must
meet the same specification, ASTM D 975 (Grades No. 2-D or No. 1 -D S15 commonly known as
Ultra Low Sulfur diesel), as other fuels used in your vehicle, and the biodiesel used for making this
fuel must meet the latest version of ASTM specification D 6751. Biodiesel is produced from
vegetable oils or animal fat that have been chemically modified to reduce the possibility of damage
to the fuel system and engine. Higher concentration (i.e. greater than B5) biodiesel-containing fuels
or the use of unmodified bio-oils blended into diesel fuel at any concentration is not recommended
and could damage the fuel system and engine. Such damage would not be covered by your
warranty. If there are questions about the biodiesel-containing fuels you are using, contact your fuel
supplier.

This bulletin is being revised to add RPO LBZ. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number

The use of diesel fuel additives is not required or recommended for the 6.5L diesel or the 6.6L
Duramax(R) Diesel engine under normal conditions. The filtering system is designed to block water
and contaminants without the use of additives. However, some customers may desire to use fuel
additives to improve the characteristics of available diesel fuels.
Water Emulsifiers and Demulsifiers
If the customer desires to use a fuel additive, care must be taken in its selection. There are two
common methods that fuel additives use to cope with water in the fuel.
One method is through demulsification of water in the fuel. This method causes water particles to
combine together to form larger particles, which drop out of suspension. This allows the fuel
filter/water separator to separate the water from the fuel as it is designed to.
The other method of coping with water in the fuel is through emulsification. This method, often
using alcohol as the emulsifier, keeps water particles suspended in the fuel. Emulsification of water
in the fuel can allow water to get past the fuel filter/water separator, in most cases causing damage
to the fuel system. Only alcohol free water demulsifiers should be used in General Motors diesel
engines. GM Diesel Fuel Conditioner(R), P/N 88861009 (in Canada, 88861038) or both *Racor
Power Shot Plus® and *Stanadyne(R) diesel fuel additives are alcohol free and utilize water
demulsifiers to cope with water in the fuel. Other brands may be available in different areas; be
sure that they clearly state that they are alcohol free demulsifiers before use.
*We believe these sources and their products to be reliable. General Motors does not endorse,
indicate any preference for or assume any responsibility for the products from these firms or for any
such items which may be available from other sources.
Common Diesel Fuel Concerns
Fuel Waxing/Icing
Fuel distributors blend # 1 and # 2 diesel fuels for seasonal requirements in a particular region. No
other blending of fuels is recommended. However, a customer may desire to use a winter fuel
additive to prevent fuel waxing or icing during extreme cold snaps. If a winter fuel additive is to be
used, it should not contain alcohol or other water emulsifiers that may compromise the water
removal effectiveness of the fuel filtering system.
Bacteria and Fungi Growth
Bacteria and fungi growth can occur in diesel fuel when there is water present, especially during
warmer weather. The best prevention against bacteria and fungi growth is to use clean fuel that is
free of water. There are diesel fuel biocides available that are designed to kill bacterial growth in
the fuel system. However, the dead bacteria can still cause blockages throughout the fuel system.
If bacterial growth is found in the fuel system, the proper method of removal is to flush the fuel
system using Service Manual procedures, replace the fuel filter element and refill the tank with
clean diesel fuel. If a customer desires to use a biocide after flushing the fuel system, it should not
contain alcohol or other water emulsifiers.
Low Cetane Number
The cetane number is one indicator of a diesel fuel's ability to ignite. There are many indicators of
overall fuel quality such as cleanliness, specific gravity, volatility, viscosity, detergency, corrosion
inhibiting abilities, and lubricity. Increasing the cetane number alone is not a fix for poor quality fuel.
Additionally, increasing the cetane number beyond the engine's requirements will not increase
performance. However, the cetane number of diesel fuel is not always consistent and some
customers may desire to use a cetane improver to ensure full performance of their engine. If such
an additive is to be used, it must not contain alcohol or other water emulsifiers.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel System - TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline (Canada) > Page 5404
Poor Lubricity
The 6.5L diesel and the 6.6L Duramax(R) Diesel engines are designed to operate on today's low
sulfur fuel without the use of additives. A fuel additive designed to increase lubricity is not a fix for
poor quality or contaminated fuel, but some customers may desire to use a lubricity additive to aid
in the longevity of their fuel system components. If such an additive is to be used, it must not
contain alcohol or other water emulsifiers.
Fuel Source Issue
If a vehicle is properly maintained but has fuel contamination issues, consider obtaining fuel from a
different source. Purchasing fuel from a high volume fuel retailer increases the chance that the fuel
is fresh and of good quality.

Some fuel companies may be putting warning labels on their diesel fuel pumps. The warning labels
will describe the sulfur content of the fuel. It will also advise customers not to use a 500 ppm sulfur
fuel in a 2007 or later vehicle. Refer to the graphic illustration above.
At this time, customers may find more than one type No. 2 diesel fuel available:
^ LSD (low sulfur diesel fuel) is diesel fuel with 500 ppm sulfur content.
^ ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel fuel) has a sulfur content of 15 ppm or lower.
^ Off Road Fuel with a 500 ppm or higher sulfur content

All fuel companies will start transitions to ULSD (15 ppm sulfur max) in mid-2006. Refineries in the
U.S. and Canada are required to start producing ULSD on June 1. U.S. and Canadian supply
terminals must be converted to ULSD by September 1 and retail stations must be converted by
October 15.
In the U.S., both LSD (500 ppm sulfur) and ULSD (15 ppm sulfur) will be available. However, the
EPA's own pre-compliance reports indicate that 95% of on-road diesel fuel will meet the 15 ppm
standard on a nationwide basis. All LSD (500 ppm sulfur) and Off Road Fuels (greater than 500
ppm sulfur) must be segregated and clearly marked. In Canada, only 15 ppm on-road diesel fuel
will be available nationwide by October 15th.
Below is a description of GM vehicles and proper fuel usage:
In January of 2007, a new 6.6L Duramax(TM) Diesel (RPO LMM-eighth digit of the VIN is a 6) will
be released. This 6.6 LMM engine must use the ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel) fuel. The 2007 LMM
diesel equipped vehicles will require the use of ULSD for proper operation of the emission control
system. These vehicles will be labeled "ULSD Required". The vehicles will be labeled in two
locations (per regulation) near the fuel filler and on the IP. The Owner's Manual and diesel
supplement will have several instances/sections that define proper fuel use.
Important:
Off Road Fuels should not be used in any General Motors highway use vehicles.
All other Light and Medium Duty 6.2L, 6.5L, and 6.6L RPO codes LB7, LBZ, and LLY diesel
engines (including 2007 model year LBZ and LLY) can use either the LSF (low sulfur diesel) or
ULSF (ultra low sulfur) diesel fuels.

Fuel: Specifications
WHAT FUEL TO USE IN THE U.S.
In the United States, for best results use Number 2-D diesel fuel year-round (above and below
freezing conditions) as oil companies blend Number 2-D fuel to address climate differences.
Number 1-D diesel fuel may be used in very cold temperatures (when it stays below 0°F or -18°C);
however, it will produce a power and fuel economy loss. Avoid the use of Number 1-D diesel fuel in
warm or hot climates. It may result in stalling, poor starting when the engine is hot and may
damage the fuel injection system.
At a minimum, the diesel fuel you use should meet specifications ASTM D975-02 (Grade Low
Sulfur) in the United States. In addition, the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) has identified
properties of an improved diesel fuel for better engine performance and durability. Diesel fuels
corresponding to the EMA Recommended Guideline on Premium Diesel Fuel (FQP-1A) could
provide better starting, less noise and better vehicle performance. If there are questions about the
fuel you are using, contact your fuel supplier.
It is acceptable to use diesel fuel containing up to 5% biodiesel (B5), but the final blended fuel must
meet the same specification, ASTM D975-02 (Grade Low Sulfur), as other fuels used in your
vehicle, and the biodiesel used for making this fuel must meet the ASTM D6751-02 specification.
Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils or animal fat that have been chemically modified to
reduce the possibility of damage to your fuel system and engine. Higher concentration (i.e., greater
than B5) biodiesel-containing fuels or the use of unmodified bio-oils blended into diesel fuel at any
concentration is not recommended and could damage your fuel system and engine. Such damage
would not be covered by your warranty. If there are questions about the biodiesel-containing fuels
you are using, contact your fuel supplier.
Diesel fuel may foam when you fill your tank. This can cause the automatic pump nozzle to shut
off, even though your tank is not full. If this happens, just wait for the foaming to stop and then
continue to fill your tank.
CAUTION: Heat coming from the engine may cause the fuel to expand and force the fuel out of
your tank. If something ignites the fuel, a fire could start and people could be burned. To help avoid
this, fill your fuel tank only until the automatic nozzle shuts off. Do not try to "top it off."
WHAT FUEL TO USE IN CANADA
Canadian fuels are blended for seasonal changes. Diesel Type "A" fuel is blended for better cold
weather starting (below 0°F or -18°C); however, you may notice some power and fuel economy
loss. If Type "A" fuel is used in warmer temperatures, stalling and hard starting may occur. Diesel
Type "B" fuel is blended for temperatures above 0°F (-18°C). The emission control system requires
the use of diesel fuel with low-sulfur (0.05% by weight) content. Both low- and higher-sulfur fuels
will be available in Canada. Only low-sulfur diesel fuels are available in the United States. It is
important that diesel-powered trucks are refueled only with low-sulfur fuel. Use of fuels with
higher-sulfur content will affect the function of the emission components and may cause reduced
performance, excessive smoke and unpleasant odor.
At a minimum, the diesel fuel you use should meet specifications CAN/CGSB-3.517-2000 (Low
Sulfur Diesel) in Canada. In addition, the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) has identified
properties of an improved diesel fuel for better engine performance and durability (FQP-1A). Diesel
fuels corresponding to the EMA description could provide better starting, less noise and better
vehicle performance. If there are questions about the fuel you are using, contact your fuel supplier.
It is acceptable to use diesel fuel containing up to 5% biodiesel (B5), but the final blended fuel must
meet the same specification, CAN/CGSB--3.517-2000 (Low Sulfur Diesel) in Canada, as other
fuels used in your vehicle, and the biodiesel used for making this fuel must meet the ASTM
D6751-02 specification. Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils or animal fat that have been
chemically modified to reduce the possibility of damage to your fuel system and engine. Higher
concentration (i.e., greater than B5) biodiesel-containing fuels or the use of unmodified bio-oils
blended into diesel fuel at any concentration is not recommended and could damage your fuel
system and engine. Such damage would not be covered by your warranty. If there are questions
about the biodiesel-containing fuels you are using, contact your fuel supplier.
WATER IN FUEL
CAUTION: Diesel fuel containing water is still flammable. You could be burned. If you ever try to
drain water from your fuel, keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from the mixture.
NOTICE: If there is water in your diesel fuel and the weather is warm or humid, fungus and bacteria
can grow in the fuel. They can damage your fuel system. A diesel fuel biocide can be used to
sterilize your fuel system. However, your fuel system may still need to be cleaned.
If your fuel tank needs to be purged to remove water. Improper purging can damage your fuel
system.
Sometimes, water can be pumped into your fuel tank along with your diesel fuel. This can happen if
a service station doesn't regularly inspect and clean its fuel tanks, or if it gets contaminated fuel
from its suppliers.
If this happens, a "WATER IN FUEL" message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
If it does, the water must be drained.

Fuel: Testing and Inspection
CONTAMINANTS-IN-FUEL DIAGNOSIS
Fungi and other microorganisms can survive and multiply in diesel fuel if water is present. The
fungi can be present in any part of the fuel handling system. These fungi grow into long strings and
will form into large globules. The growths appear slimy and are usually black, green, or brown. The
fungi may grow anywhere in the fuel but are most plentiful where diesel fuel and water meet. As the
fuel is agitated, when service station tanks are being filled, fungi are distributed throughout the tank
and may be pumped into a vehicle.
Fungi use the fuel as their main energy supply and need only trace amounts of water and minerals.
As they grow and multiply, they change fuel into water, sludge, acids, and products of metabolism.
The most common symptom is fuel filter plugging, however various metal fuel system components
including fuel sender assembly, pipes, fuel injectors, and fuel injection pump can corrode.
CAUTION: Avoid physical contact with the biocides in order to avoid personal injury.
If fungi have caused fuel system contamination, use a diesel fuel biocide to sterilize the fuel
system. Do not exceed the dosage recommended on the label. Discontinue the use of a biocide
when towing a trailer. It is permissible to have biocide in the fuel when starting to tow, but do not
add any biocide while towing.
Steam cleaning may be necessary if most of the fungus growth cannot be removed with biocides.
The presence of water or gasoline in diesel fuel may also cause injection pump and fuel injector
damage.
This procedure checks for the presence of water and gasoline in diesel fuel that may cause fuel
injection pump and fuel injector damage.
Remove and inspect the fuel filter.
- If water, gasoline or fungi/bacteria are not present, end the inspection.
- If water or fungi/bacteria are present, go to Cleaning Water from the Fuel System. Refer to Fuel
System Cleaning.
- If gasoline is present, go to Cleaning Gasoline from the Fuel System. Refer to Fuel System
Cleaning.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-070B
Date: March 02, 2009
Subject: Information on Improved Fuel Filter for 6.6L Duramax(TM) Diesel Engine
Models: 2001-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2003-2009 Chevrolet Kodiak 2006-2009 Chevrolet
Express 2001-2009 GMC Sierra 2003-2009 GMC TopKick 2006-2009 GMC Sierra
Equipped with 6.6L Duramax(TM) Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2, D, 6 - RPOs LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM)
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to provide additional information to the field on fuel filter applications
for the Duramax diesel engine. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-070A (Section
06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important:
It is acceptable to use diesel fuel containing up to 5% biodiesel (B5). Higher concentration (i.e.,
greater than B5) biodiesel-containing fuels or the use of unmodified bio-oils blended into diesel fuel
at any concentration is not recommended and could damage the fuel system and engine. Such
damage would not be covered by your warranty.
A revised fuel filter is released that will service all 2001-2009 Chevrolet and GMC C/K models and
2003-2009 Chevrolet and GMC C4500/5500 Series vehicles with the 6.6L Duramax(TM) Diesel.
The new coalescer filter provides the following benefits / improvements over the existing dual pleat
design:
^ 150-200% increase in service life, depending on contaminant type
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Filter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel System - Improved Fuel Filter Design > Page 5438
^ Improved fuel system protection with some premium diesel and B5 biodiesel blends
^ Equivalent coarse water droplet removal efficiency of previous design
^ Greatly improved removal of emulsified water - a major contributor to fuel system issues
Proper fuel filter servicing and the use of clean diesel fuel that is free of water or contaminants are
critical for the longevity of fuel system components of a modern direct injected diesel engine.
Adherence to the fuel filter change interval will help to ensure that the Duramax fuel system will be
protected from contaminants and that the engine will continue to operate as designed. Purchasing
fuel from a high volume fuel retailer increases the chances that the fuel is fresh and of good quality.

Fuel Filter: Service and Repair Fuel System Priming
FUEL SYSTEM PRIMING
IMPORTANT: In order for the DURAMAX diesel engine fuel system to work properly, the fuel lines
must be full of fuel and contain no air. If air gets into the fuel lines, it will be necessary to prime the
fuel system to eliminate the air before operating the vehicle. Air could have entered to system in
one of the following ways:
- The vehicle ran out of fuel.
- The filter was removed for service or replacement.
- The fuel lines were removed or disconnected for servicing.
- The fuel filter water drain cock was opened while the engine was running.
If one or more of the above occurred, air has entered the fuel system and you will need to prime
the system prior to operating the vehicle.
1. Prior to priming the engine, ensure that the following is complete:
- There is fuel in the fuel tank.
- The fuel filter has been installed and properly tightened.
- The fuel lines are properly connected.
- The fuel filter is cool to the touch.
- Any dirt or debris is removed from the fuel filter head and vent valve.
2. Open the vent valve by turning the screw counterclockwise several full turns.

3. Operate the priming pump until a small amount of fuel seeps from the vent valve. allow the pump
to return upwards between pumps. When fuel is
present, the filter is full of fuel and the system should be primed.
4. Close the vent valve. 5. Clean any fuel which accumulated on the fuel filter. 6. Start the engine
and allow it to idle for a few minutes. 7. Check the filter for leaks.

Subject: Revised DTC P0090
Models: 2004-2005 Chevrolet Kodiak, Silverado 2004-2005 GMC Sierra, TopKick with 6.6L Diesel
Engine (VIN 2 - RPO LLY)
This bulletin is being issued to revise DTC P0090 in the Engine Controls sub-section of the Service
Manual. Please replace the current information in the Service Manual with the following
information.
The following information has been updated within SI. If you are using a paper version of this
Service Manual, please make a reference to this bulletin on the affected page.
DTC P0090
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) supplies power and ground to the fuel rail pressure (FRP)
regulator. The ECM monitors current on the circuits to detect a failure. If the current is outside of
the expected range, DTC P0090 will set. DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic supports the following DTC:
DTC P0090 Fuel Pressure Regulator Control Circuit Conditions for Running the DTC
^ The ignition is ON.
^ The commanded FRP regulator current is between 400-1,500 mA. Conditions for Setting the DTC
The FRP regulator circuit current is not between 50-1,600 mA. Action Take When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and
fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control
module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
^ A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or
any other emission related diagnostic.
^ clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
There are no driveability concerns associated with the FRP regulator unless a DTC is present. The
most likely cause of this DTC is a sticking FRP regulator.
If the fuel system pressure is actually too high, a fuel knock and smoke condition will exist.

Fuel Pressure Regulator: Testing and Inspection
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR DIAGNOSIS
The Fuel Pressure Regulator graphing procedure offers valuable information on regulator
performance by comparing desired and actual fuel rail pressure. An almost perfect comparison
between actual rail pressure and desired rail pressure is found on a fairly new, low mileage engine.
A minor ripple is acceptable behavior for the fuel rail pressure regulator and is seen on high
mileage engines. A 'shark tooth' fluctuation in actual fuel rail pressure indicates a sticking pressure
regulator.
1. Set up the following Min/Max ranges for graphing the fuel rail pressure on the scan tool.
- Engine Speed Min/Max range is 0-1,000 RPM.
- Actual Fuel Rail Pressure Min/Max range is 1-160 MPa.
- Desired Fuel Rail Pressure Min/Max is 1-160 MPa.
2. Start and idle the engine. 3. Observe the live plot for sharp changes or shark tooth pattern in the
Actual Fuel Rail Pressure while performing the following actions:
- Idling the engine
- Shifting the transmission from Park to Drive and back to Park
- Turning the steering from left stop position to right stop position
- Turning the air conditioning ON and OFF

inlet and damage the fuel injector.
6. Immediately after removal of the lower valve cover, use a vacuum source to remove any
contamination in the fuel injector inlet (1).
Fuel Injector Cleaning and Inspection
Notice The fuel injector must be cleaned with the proper cleaning equipment. DO NOT use
abrasive cleaning methods such as a metallic brush to remove deposits. Cleaning an injector with
improper tools may damage the fuel injector.
1. Use a soft bristle non-metallic brush and fuel injector cleaner, P/N 88861802 (in Canada, P/N
88861804), or equivalent, to remove any deposits
from the nozzle tip (1) and the copper washer sealing area (2) before reinstallation.
2. Inspect the fuel injector nozzle tip (1) for cracks, dents, or other damage. 3. Inspect the nozzle
tip (1) for any signs of discoloration (dark yellow, tan, or blue) due to excessive heat.
Note For information on injector bore cleaning, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-04-067 Information on New Essential Tool EN-47909 Injector Bore Cleaning Kit for 6.6L Duramax(TM)
Diesel Engine.
‹› If any damage is found replace the fuel injector. Clean the fuel injector bore BEFORE installing
the new fuel injector.
4. Clean the fuel injector high-pressure lines by performing the following steps:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Rail > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel System - Fuel Injector Service Information > Page 5565
5. Inspect the fuel injector high-pressure line for excessive corrosion, scale or rust to the sealing
surface as shown.
Notice Medium size media glass beads have a cleaning and peening action and do not remove
metal. They do not have the quick abrasive action of sharp edged media. Glass beads clean rust,
scale and corrosion from metal parts without any damage.
6. Use an Abrasive Blasting Cabinet, P/N 624-AST-SBC1, (to order, call GM Dealer Equipment), or
equivalent, with a medium size media glass
beads to clean the high pressure lines and fittings.
Important Black plastic electrical tape or equivalent will protect the fittings outside coating from
being removed with the media. This must be done to ALL sixteen high pressure fittings.
7. Install black plastic electrical tape or equivalent on both of the fittings (1) as shown.
8. When using an Abrasive Blasting Cabinet or equivalent, make sure you only clean the inside of
the fittings (2) and as much of the fitting threads as
possible as shown.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Rail > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel System - Fuel Injector Service Information > Page 5566
9. Use pipe cleaners (1) to block the ends of the high pressure lines so the abrasive blasting glass
beads will not contaminate the inside of the pipes.
Before removing the pipe cleaners, clean them by using regulated compressed air to blow any
debris and/or media glass beads from the pipe cleaners.
10. There may be some area of the fitting or line that the glass beads did not clean very well.
Disregard any surface that did not clean up as long as the
area of the fitting is clean at the bite edge or sealing surface. Refer to the above illustration (1).
Replace any suspect high pressure line if the glass beads cannot remove corrosion, scale or rust
from the sealing surfaces and/or pitting or any other damage that is found.
11. After cleaning all of the fuel injector high-pressure line fittings with the glass beads, clean by
using compressed air to blow any debris and/or
media glass beads from inside and outside of all the fittings and lines. Afterwards, wash thoroughly
with All Purpose Parts Cleaner, P/N 88862650 (in Canada, P/N 88901247, Brake Parts Cleaner) or
equivalent. Repeat this process until all of the debris and/or media glass beads have been
removed from the fittings and lines.
Fuel Injector Installation
Install the fuel injectors and lines using published service procedures in SI.
Notice
Ensure proper torquing of the fuel injector line fittings (1, 2). An under-torqued fuel injector line will
not seal properly and an over-torqued fuel injector line may damage the fuel injector fitting. An
improperly sealed or damaged fuel injector line or fuel injector fitting may cause a fuel leak.
Inspection For Fuel Leaks Into the Engine After Repair
1. Run the engine at idle for 10 minutes. Inspect for external fuel leaks while the engine is running.
2. Stop the engine and wait 10 minutes, then check the engine oil level. This will be the initial oil
level. 3. Run the engine at idle for 5 minutes while commanding the fuel pressure to 160 MPa using
a scan tool. 4. Stop the engine and wait 10 minutes, then check the oil level.
‹› If the engine oil level is more than 4.7 mm (3/16 in) above the initial oil level, refer to Fuel Leak
Diagnosis (Inside of Engine), and Fuel in
Engine Oil procedures in the Engine Controls and Engine Mechanical sections respectively in SI.
‹› If the engine oil level is less than 4.7 mm (3/16 in) above the initial oil level, the repair is
complete.

Fuel Rail: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLIES
The left and right fuel rail assemblies attach to the cylinder heads. The fuel rail assemblies
distribute pressurized fuel to the fuel injectors through the fuel lines.
The fuel rail assemblies consists of the following components:
- The fuel rail pressure sensor in the right fuel rail
- The fuel pressure relief valve in the left fuel rail
The fuel rail pressure sensor gives the engine control module (ECM) an indication of fuel pressure.
The ECM uses this information to regulate fuel pressure, by commanding the fuel pressure
regulator open or closed on the inlet of the fuel injection pump.
The fuel pressure relief valve opens only to prevent excessive pressure in the event of a
malfunction. Fuel from the fuel pressure relief valve is returned to the fuel tank.

Fuel Return Line: Description and Operation
FUEL FEED AND RETURN PIPES
The fuel feed pipe carries fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel injector control module. The fuel return
pipe carries fuel from the fuel rail assemblies back to the fuel tank. The fuel pipes consist of 2
sections: The rear fuel pipe assemblies are located from the top of the fuel tank to the chassis fuel pipes.
The rear fuel pipes are constructed of steel with sections of rubber hose covered with braiding.
- The chassis fuel pipes are located under the vehicle and connect the rear fuel pipes to the fuel rail
pipes. These pipes are constructed of steel with sections of rubber hose covered with braiding.
FUEL INJECTORS AND RETURN LINES
A fuel injector is a solenoid device, controlled by the fuel injection control module (FICM), that
meters pressurized fuel to a single engine cylinder. The engine control module (ECM) energizes
the low-impedance injector solenoid to open a normally closed valve. Fuel pressure is released
from above the fuel injector pintle, and is returned to the fuel tank through the fuel return lines. The
difference in fuel pressure above and below the pintle causes the pintle to open. Fuel from the fuel
injector tip is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber on the compression stroke of the
engine.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The engine control
module (ECM) sends the fuel level information via the class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster

when This may occur when the vehicle is parked on an incline with the engine running.
Diagnosis with a scan tool may reveal a DTC P1172 and/or P2636.
Cause
Important:
A similar condition may occur if the vehicle is fueled with the engine running AND the rear tank is
fueled first. The engine must be shut off (as required by law) during vehicle refueling.
The auxiliary fuel tank vent hose is located in the same "T" connection on the main tank vent hose
as the auxiliary tank balance hose. During fuel transfer, the fuel is pumped out of the auxiliary tank
to the main tank via the balance hose. The fuel is then sucked back into the auxiliary tank via the
vent hose rather then dumping the fuel into the main tank. When the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not detect a fluid level transfer between the main tank and the auxiliary tank, the PCM
shuts off the auxiliary tank pump and the fuel gauge goes to empty.
Correction
Follow the service procedure below to correct this condition.
1. Depending on the body upfitter, it may be necessary to raise the vehicle in order to gain access
to the auxiliary tank balance hose.
2. Depending on the body upfitter, it may be necessary to remove the left rear tire/wheel

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position (APP) system along with the vehicle electronics and components is
used to calculate and control the amount of acceleration and deceleration via fuel injector control.
This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to a throttle
body.
The APP system includes, but is not limited to, the following components :
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor assembly
- The engine control module (ECM)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted
on the accelerator pedal control assembly. The sensor is made up of 3 individual sensors within
one housing. Three separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used in order
to interface the accelerator pedal sensor assembly with the ECM. Each sensor has a unique
functionality to determine pedal position. The ECM uses the APP sensor to determine the amount
of acceleration or deceleration desired by the person driving the vehicle. The APP sensor 1 voltage
should increase as the accelerator pedal is depressed, from below 1.0 volt at 0 pedal travel to
above 2 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 2 voltage should decrease from above 4
volts at 0 pedal travel to below 3.0 volts at 100 percent pedal travel. APP sensor 3 voltage should
decrease from above 3.8 volts at 0 percent pedal travel to below 3.3 volts at 100 percent pedal
travel.

with 6.6L Duramax(TM) V8 Diesel Engine (VINs D, 1, 2, 6 RPOs LBZ, LB7, LLY, LMM)
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
03-06-93-001C (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Notice:
Before installing a new turbocharger, clean any debris or excessive oil from the charge air cooler
and intake system in order to prevent damage to the new turbocharger or an engine overspeed
condition.
Spun Camshaft Bearing
If a turbocharger performance concern is thought to be caused from a deficiency of engine oil, the
camshaft bearing should be checked. The number 4 camshaft bearing bore feeds the turbocharger
engine oil supply hose. If this camshaft bearing spins in the bore, the turbocharger will be deprived
of engine oil. This will cause a performance concern with the turbocharger. Incorrect diagnosis of
this condition will result in a repeat performance concern with the turbocharger.
Camshaft Bearing Inspection
If the turbocharger has to be replaced, perform the following procedure in order to verify the
condition of the number 4 camshaft bearing before installing a new turbocharger.
1. Remove the turbocharger. Refer to Service Information (SI) procedures for Turbocharger
Replacement.
2. Remove the turbocharger oil supply hose.
3. Visually inspect for correct alignment of the number 4 camshaft bearing oil hole (Refer to
illustration callout 4) through the turbocharger oil supply hole in the block (Refer to illustration
callout 1). The camshaft journal oil groove (Refer to illustration callout 3) should be visible through
the camshaft bearing oil hole (Refer to illustration callout 4).
4. Turn the engine over by hand a 1/2 turn. The camshaft journal oil groove (Refer to illustration
callout 3) should still be visible through the
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Turbocharger > Oil Line,
Turbocharger > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Turbocharger Lubrication Issues > Page
5757
camshaft bearing oil hole (Refer to illustration callout 4) as the engine is turned.
5. If the camshaft bearing (Refer to illustration callout 2) has spun, the camshaft bearing oil hole
(Refer to illustration callout 4) will either not be visible at all or it will be misaligned with the
turbocharger oil supply hole during the inspection procedure. In the event of a spun camshaft
bearing, the engine must be replaced.
Restricted Turbocharger Oil Supply Hose
If a lack of oil is suspected, the turbocharger oil supply hose should also be checked for damage.
The turbocharger oil feed line is a high pressure plastic tube that is protected by a stainless steel
braided covering. If it is twisted at all or bent too far during turbocharger removal, the plastic line
may fold and kink. The kink may cause an oil flow restriction. If the plastic pipe does kink, it will not
return back to its normal size and shape. The damage may not be obvious upon inspection
because the braided steel covering will hide the deformity.
LB7 Turbocharger Replacement
During turbocharger removal on the 6.6L LB7 engine, the turbocharger oil feed line can be pulled
directly away from the turbocharger body in a perpendicular fashion. Care must be taken to avoid
excessive bending of the line.
LBZ, LLY or LMM Turbocharger Replacement
During repairs on the 6.6L LBZ, LLY or LMM engine, the EGR cooler does not allow enough
perpendicular movement of the line to clear the turbocharger for removal. However, the line can be
pushed straight forward of the turbocharger with less risk of kinking the line. Assistance may be
required to keep the lines clear of the turbocharger during removal or installation.
Notice:
Do not twist the turbocharger oil supply line. Twisting of the line will result in the collapse and
deformation of the plastic line, restricting oil flow and causing turbocharger performance concerns.

IGNITION RELAY DIAGNOSIS
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The EDU/IGN 1 relay is normally an open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by
spring tension. When the ignition switch is turned to the Run or Start position, current will flow
through the relay coil. A wire connected to the other end of the relay coil completes the path to
ground through the engine control module (ECM). The electromagnetic field created by the relay
coil overcomes the spring tension and moves the armature, allowing the contacts to close. The
closed relay contacts allow current to flow from the battery to the following fuses: The ECM RPV fuse
- The EDU fuse
When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, the electromagnetic field collapses. This
action allows the spring tension to move the armature away from the relay contacts, which
interrupts current flow to the fuses.
If the EDU/IGN 1 relay fails to close, the engine will crank but will not run. The class 2
communications will be available with the use of a scan tool.
The EDU/IGN 1 relay table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged.

bulletin cancels and supersedes Bulletin Number 03-04-21-006. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Numbers 02-04-21-006D and 03-04-21-006 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the 4WD/AWD indicator lights on the selector switch do not
work, or the 4WD/AWD system may be inoperative and/or the service 4WD light is illuminated. The
condition is typically intermittent and always occurs at key-up. Upon investigation, the technician
may find DTC C0550 set.
Cause
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) has not received the wake-up call during key-up and
has remained in the "sleep mode".
When the TCCM is in the "sleep mode", it will not communicate with the class II bus or the Tech
2(R).
Correction
1. Try to communicate with the TCCM. If no communication, go to step 2. If communication is
possible, go to step 5.
2. Remove the underhood (ATCM or TREC) TCCM fuse.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Reinstall the fuse. The module should wake up and communicate with the Tech 2(R).
5. Check for codes in the TCCM. If a C0550 is found current or in history with or without other
codes, replace the module and go to step 6.
6. Reprogram the TCCM with the latest TIS software using normal SPS procedures.
7. Verify operation and that no codes are present.
Important:
For the 2002 model year, the TCCM must be replaced and reprogrammed.

INFORMATION
Subject: Guidelines for Replacement of Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)
Models: 2005 and Prior Light Duty Trucks
with New Venture Gear (NVG) Transfer Case (RPOs NP1, NP4, NP8)
Dealers are replacing the TCCM unnecessarily.
Dealers are replacing the TCCM with codes stored in HISTORY only. The TCCM does not have a
current fault condition when tested.
Parts reviewed at the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) have a 75% No Trouble Found (NTF) rate.
The only two legitimate reasons to replace the TCCM are:
^ Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C0550
^ NO Communication with a scan tool.
DTC C0550
This DTC indicates that the module has an internal fault and should be replaced.
No Communication
^ The no communication conditions referenced here are also caused by a module internal fault to a
point where the module physically will not talk. A technician cannot pull DTCs from the module
because it will not communicate. The module is electrically dead.
^ No communication is not to be confused with a U1026 code. This code tells the technician that
the module may still be functioning but is temporarily off line. This code may be set by the
Instrument Panel (IP) or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) against the TCCM. The technician
needs to figure out why the module went off line. These are typically caused by connection
concerns. There is no need to replace a TCCM for a U1026 DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
^ When diagnosing a transfer case electrical control system, ALWAYS check power and ground
wiring first.
^ Test the connections for intermittent or poor connections, complete plug insertion, bent pins,
pushed out terminals and water contamination.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Control Module: > 05-04-21-002 > Mar > 05 >
Drivetrain - Transfer Case Control Module Replacement > Page 5914
Pay particular attention to the terminal connections at the module. Spread or open terminal
connections may create an intermittent contact. Do a pin drag test. Refer to the terminal testing
information in the table shown.
^ After repairs are complete, ALWAYS clear DTCs from the module prior to a system function test.
If codes are not cleared first, the system will not function after repair. The technician may
erroneously think that the system is still down and that further repairs are needed.
Warranty
Dealers who unnecessarily replace the TCCM that are found to have No Trouble Found (NTF) at
the WPC will be returned to the AVM (Area Service Manager), or the DSM (District Service
Manager) in Canada, through the Regional Feedback Process and may be charged back for the
repair through the WINS system.

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.

CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5954
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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

Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5956
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5957
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5958
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5959
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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: 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks

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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Micro-Pack 100W Connectors
MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5969
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5970
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.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
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. Insure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5971
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5972
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs
SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5975
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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.

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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection 4L60/4L60-E/4L65-E Transmission
Tow/Haul Switch/Indicator Always On or Inoperative
Circuit Description
Tow/haul mode enables the operator to achieve enhanced shift performance when towing or
hauling a load. When tow/haul mode is selected, the tow/haul switch input signal to the body
control module (BCM) is momentarily toggled to zero volts. This signals the powertrain control
module (PCM) to extend the length of time between upshifts and increase transmission line
pressure. Cycling the tow/haul switch again disables tow/haul mode and returns the transmission to
a normal shift pattern.
Diagnostic Aids
If the electrical circuit tests are OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a
mechanical/hydraulic condition that prevents tow/haul operation. Refer to Symptoms - Automatic
Transmission.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and additional model information and add
graphics. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-011B (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

Jun > 04 > A/T - Slow/No Gear Engagement/Engine No Start > Page 6012
Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

Jun > 04 > A/T - Slow/No Gear Engagement/Engine No Start > Page 6013
^ "7" (shifter should be in the Reverse position)
^ "5" (shifter should be in the Drive position)
^ "3" (shifter should be in the Third gear position)
^ "2" (shifter should be in the Second gear position)
^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

9. Remove and discard the neutral assurance bracket.
Important:
Installation of the front shield and rear shields are important. Without proper installation of the
shield, a return repair is probable. Follow all directions as listed on the installation instructions
sheet included in the Switch kit, P/N 29540479.
10. Fit the new shield onto the PNP switch so that it fits securely against the switch. Make sure this
is done before reinstalling the shift lever.
11. Reinstall the shift lever. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, install the nut on
the end of the selector shaft.
Tighten.
Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 lb ft).
12. Connect the wiring harness connectors to the PNP switch.
13. Attach the selector cable to the lever. Check and adjust if needed.
14. Go back to step 4 of the Diagnostics and insure the Tech 2 readings match the shift lever
positions.
Important:
Clear all DTCs before returning the vehicle to the customer.
15. Return the vehicle to the customer.

^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

Important:
Installation of the front shield and rear shields are important. Without proper installation of the
shield, a return repair is probable. Follow all directions as listed on the installation instructions
sheet included in the Switch kit, P/N 29540479.
10. Fit the new shield onto the PNP switch so that it fits securely against the switch. Make sure this
is done before reinstalling the shift lever.
11. Reinstall the shift lever. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, install the nut on
the end of the selector shaft.
Tighten.
Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 lb ft).
12. Connect the wiring harness connectors to the PNP switch.
13. Attach the selector cable to the lever. Check and adjust if needed.

This bulletin is being revised to update the Model and Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 05-04-21-003B (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on intermittent illumination of the Service 4WD light. Upon
investigation, the technician may find DTC C0374 set. The customer may also comment on
intermittent erratic operation of the 4WD or AWD system after driving through rain/snow or simply
going through a car wash.
Cause
The speed sensor signal may have become corrupted. Possible openings in the speed sensor wire
insulation (twisted pairs) can allow water intrusion. Also wire connections contaminated by water
may result in short circuits and erroneous speed sensor readings. This most often occurs on the
rear speed sensor circuit.
Correction
Inspect the wiring harness to the transfer case speed sensors. On Rainier, TrailBlazer, Envoy and
9-7X models, fabricate a replacement speed sensor harness between the C101 connector and the
speed sensors. Completely inspect and test all wiring. Refer to Speed Signal Front Axle Actuator
and Indicators schematic in SI.
Replace the affected twisted pairs. Do not over-twist the two wires in the replacement harness.
Wires should be twisted at a rate of 9 revolutions per foot. Use service connector pack, P/N
88987993 at the speed sensor end and terminal, P/N 15326267, at C101.
Terminal testing tools and service terminals can be found in Terminal Repair Kit J 38125.
Terminals are available from SPX/Kent-Moore.
The smaller transfer case harness splices into the larger chassis harness a few inches in front of
the crossmember. The chassis harness routes along the left side of the frame under the driver door
area. Use nylon tie straps to secure the fabricated harness to the main chassis harness between
the transfer case and C101.
On the full-size pickup and full-size utility models, replace the 2.2 m (88 in) pigtail harness that runs
from the C151 connector under the hood to the transfer case. Use either harness P/N 15832722 or
15224663 depending on vehicle equipment. Refer to Propshaft Speed Sensors Front Axle Actuator
and Transfer Case Shift Control Switch schematic in SI.
Important:
Technicians should verify the integrity of the splice joints after the repair. All splice joints and
connections should seal properly against water or a repeat condition can occur.

Technicians may find that when the transfer case speed sensor wire harness connector is
removed, the connector lock flexes/bends and does not return to the original position. The transfer
case speed sensor wire harness connector then has no locking device. On older vehicles, the
plastic connector retainer becomes brittle and the clip may break as soon as it is flexed. In the past,
the only service fix was to install a wire harness connector service pack, P/N 88987183. This repair
procedure involved splicing a new service connector with an integral connector lock. This
connector service kit is of the same design and was still prone to failure over time.
A new connector service repair kit is now available, P/N 15306187, that is an updated design. This

SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS (REPROGRAM POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE {PCM})
Models: 2004-05 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CHASSIS CAB, SUBURBAN, AVALANCHE 2004-05
GMC SIERRA CHASSIS CAB, YUKON XL
EQUIPPED WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS
Purpose
This bulletin provides information about installing new Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software
and calibration on certain involved 2004-05 Chevrolet Silverado chassis cab, Suburban,
Avalanche; GMC Sierra chassis cab and Yukon XL model trucks, equipped with dual fuel tanks.
The revised calibration includes OBD system improvements that affect the fuel level sender
diagnostics that should be installed as soon as practical. Install the new calibration on all affected
vehicles identified in this bulletin, including vehicles in new dealer inventory and any vehicles that
return for service, for any reason, during the applicable 8 year / 80,000 mile (130,000 km) emission
controller warranty coverage period. To verify if an updated calibration is required, refer to the
following procedure in this bulletin.
Parts Information
Do not attempt to order the calibration number from GMSPO. The calibration numbers are
programmed into Control Modules via a Techline Tech 2 scan tool and the Techline Information
System (TIS) 2000 terminal with the calibration update. Use data version 8.0 for 2006 or later,
broadcast to dealers on August 6, 2006 or TIS 2 Web version 8.0 for 2006 (website version of TIS);
and on TIS DVD version 8.0 / 2006 or later, mailed to dealers beginning August 23, 2006. If you
cannot access the calibration, call the Techline Customer Support Center and it will be provided.
Service Procedure
The "Required Field Actions" section of the GM Vehicle Inquiry System (GMVIS) must be checked
to determine if a specific vehicle requires this action. If GMVIS indicates that System Software
Upgrade 06535 remains 'open' and PCM reprogramming has not taken place otherwise after the
TIS Broadcast or DVD availability dates identified in this bulletin, reprogram the PCM using a Tech
2 scan tool with the calibration update from Techline Information System (TIS) 2000.
Tech 2(R) Remote Programming Method for PCM
Note:
Before reprogramming, please check the battery condition to prevent a reprogramming error of any
of the modules due to battery discharge. Battery voltage must be between 12 and 16 volts during
reprogramming. If the vehicle battery is not fully charged, use jumper cables from an additional
battery. Be sure to turn off or disable any system that may put a load on the battery, such as
automatic head lamps, daytime running lights, interior lights, heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) system, radio, engine cooling fan, etc. A programming failure or control
module damage may occur if battery voltage guidelines are not observed.
The ignition switch must be in the proper position. The Tech 2(R) prompts you to turn ON the
ignition, with the engine OFF. DO NOT change the position of the ignition switch during the
programming procedure, unless instructed to do so.
Make certain all tool connections are secure, including the following components and circuits:
^ The RS-232 communication cable port
^ The connection at the data link connector (DLC)
^ The voltage supply circuits
DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the
programming procedure, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
DO NOT turn OFF the ignition if the programming procedure is interrupted or unsuccessful. Ensure
that all control module and DLC connections

the sensors. Engine coolant heater usage in ambient temperatures above -18°C (0°F) may trigger
a false DTC P0116 or P0181.
Correction
The diesel supplement to the Owner's Manual advises that the engine coolant heater may be used
below -1 8°C (0°F) to assist with cold starts. However, a customer may wish to plug in the heater
when the overnight temperatures are unknown. A thermostatically controlled engine coolant heater
cord is available for the prevention of false DTCs. This cord incorporates a thermostatic switch that
only conducts below -18°C (0°F).
Follow the steps below for the particular model year vehicle you are working on to ensure that the
correct diagnostics are performed before replacing the engine coolant heater cord.
2001-2002 Vehicles
1. Verify that the updated calibration per Corporate Bulletin Number 02-06-04-058 has been
installed.
2. Follow the published diagnostics in SI.
3. If no concern is found, determine if the customer is using the engine coolant heater above -18°C
(0°F).
4. If the customer is using the engine coolant heater in ambient temperatures above -18°C (0°F),
then replace the original coolant heater cord with the thermostatically controlled engine coolant
heater cord, GM P/N 10369173.
2003-2006 Vehicles
1. Verify that the latest calibration has been installed.
2. Follow the published diagnostics in SI.
3. If no concern is found, determine if the customer is using the engine coolant heater above -18°C

discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-01-007E (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Caution
Customers should be informed if a hard part failure is observed in the engine, transmission,
transfer case and/or other driveline components, it is likely that powertrain components were
weakened to the point of premature failure, while subjected to the higher stresses from Aftermarket
Power-Up Devices. Failures associated with the installation of Aftermarket Power-Up Devices,
which have been verified, are not covered under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty. In the
majority of these cases, the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM) (in Canada, Warranty Manager)
should be contacted and the remaining portion of the powertrain portion of the New Vehicle
Warranty blocked. GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty
claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage.
General Motors Position On Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Important General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that,
when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
04-06-04-054A or newer - Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Important For further information on aftermarket power-up kits, refer to February 2006 Emerging
Issues Course Number 10206.02D. In Canada, information on aftermarket power-up kits was
covered in the April 2006 TAC TALK program.
Aftermarket power-up devices are non-approved by General Motors. These devices are usually
piggy-backed in the main engine harness or remain connected to the diagnostic connector to
upload the calibration to the ECM. Recent warranty reviews of returned engines show engine
breakdown or non-function due to power-up devices that are utilized for increased horsepower and
torque. The following information will assist technicians in identifying overpower engine breakdown
or non-function due to aftermarket power-up devices vs. non overpower engine breakdown or
non-function.
Non-GM parts can alter the design of the vehicle. GM dealers need to be aware of the quality of
parts being installed on vehicles. If failure occurs as a result of installation of sub-par parts,
warranty coverage may be denied. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A or newer Warranty Admin. - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket).
Installed Power-Up Kit
Aftermarket power-up kits have become a very popular add on for performance-minded customers.
These devices can add horsepower and torque and can add additional stress to the engine. These
aftermarket calibrations take the Duramax(TM) powertrain outside of its design torque and
horsepower rating. They do this by altering air/fuel ratios and injector timing, resulting in excessive
cylinder pressure and temperature. When these calibrated parameters are altered, it will upset the
design balance and can lead to a reduction of engine life expectancy. Generally, in inspection of
Duramax(TM) engine failure due to power-up failures, two or more cylinders will be affected.
Installed Power-Up Kit
- Once installed, the calibration may mask itself with the factory original calibration ID and may
remain the same. Refer to Service Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006F or newer - Information on
Identifying Non-GM Calibration Usage for LMM Duramax(TM) Diesel Engine.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 06-06-01-007F > Mar > 10 > Diesel Engine Damage Due To Power-Up Devices > Page 6139
- A Tech 2(R) will not positively enable you to identify the use of a power-up device.
- Some companies that offer power-up devices claim increases of 150 or more horsepower and
300 or more lb/ft pounds of torque.
- A vehicle that is used to the power-up device potential 100% of the time will see earlier engine
wear and breakdown.
- A vehicle that takes advantage of additional power, but on a less frequent basis, may not see
premature engine wear and breakdown until later in the engine's life.
- A vehicle not pushed to its limits of the power-up device often may not encounter premature wear
and breakdown until after the engine is out of warranty.
Duramax(TM) Powertrain Horsepower / Torque Ratings
The following horsepower and torque increase over the past years required new internal
components to accommodate the increase.
- LB7 - 300 hp with 520 ft/lb of torque for model years 2000-2004
- LLY - 310 hp with 605 ft/lb of torque for model years 2004-2008
- LBZ - 360 hp with 650 ft/lb of torque for model year 2006-2008
- LMM - 365 hp with 660 ft/lb of torque for model year 2007-2009
LBZ Improvements
To reliably achieve an increase in 50 horsepower with 45 ft/lb torque, the Duramax (TM) diesel had
to be revised in many areas. A few of the revisions on the 2006 LBZ were:
- New pistons with a revised compression ratio.
- Wrist pins that are larger in diameter.
- Connecting rods with added material to increase the I section strength.
- Engine block and machining changes
- Cylinder heads
Duramax(TM) Life Expectancy
The Duramax(TM) 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel Engine is sold with a warranty of 100,000 miles/160,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) has been tested to survive upwards of 200,000 miles/320,000
kilometers. The Duramax(TM) powertrain is designed for reliability, peak horsepower and torque
within its design limits. When a customer installs a power-up device, it drastically reduces the
mileage ratings.
Important Cylinder Wall Spotting (commonly referred to leopard spots) is from the induction
hardening process of the top 1/3 of the cylinder wall. This is normal for the Duramax (TM) Diesel.
Identifying Fuel Related Aftermarket Power-Up Devices
Aftermarket companies have developed a performance pressure relief fuel valve for Duramax(TM)
diesel engines. Refer to above graphic illustration. The performance pressure relief fuel valve
attaches to the fuel rail in place of the OEM valve and will not allow any fuel return to the tank,
giving 100% of the fuel to be available for additional engine performance. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may set the following DTCs:
- DTC P1093 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Low During Power Enrichment
- DTC P0087 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Too Low

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 06-06-01-007F > Mar > 10 > Diesel Engine Damage Due To Power-Up Devices > Page 6140
Aftermarket companies have developed a replacement performance/economy fuel injector nozzle.
Refer to above illustration. The performance/economy fuel injector nozzles replace the OEM fuel
injector nozzles. The aftermarket companies claim increased horsepower, improved fuel
atomization, lower exhaust gas temperatures and increase fuel economy. This may cause
additional fuel related driveability concerns and may cause internal engine damage to the pistons
and fuel injector nozzles.
Identifying Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
When premature wear and breakdown is encountered due to an aftermarket power-up device, it
has some very specific characteristics to the internal engine components. The following list will
assist in identifying these characteristics as you tear down the engine.
- Pistons will be cracked in the lip area, or a hole in the pistons.
- Pistons can also be melted on the lip of the combustion bowl, or the top of the pistons can be
melted.
- Crosshatch will be polished off the cylinder wall in the major thrust face of cylinder below ring belt
travel.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 06-06-01-007F > Mar > 10 > Diesel Engine Damage Due To Power-Up Devices > Page 6141
- Piston pin bore will show signs of scoring, the wrist pins will be discolored, and can have oil
coking on them. The connecting rod bushing surface will have accelerated wear. The above
illustration shows a connecting rod bushing.
- Oil coking on the underside of the piston between the wrist pin bosses.
- Signs of bearing fretting will also be noticed on the connecting rod and main bearing caps. Refer
to the above illustration for fretting of main bearing cap 1 and back side of connection rod bearing
2.
- Excessive heat in engine compartment caused by overpower device. Refer to above illustration
(1).
Non Overpower Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown
The following pictures show results of overheat, overspeed, low/no oil pressure or injector
breakdown and how they differ from aftermarket power-up device premature wear and breakdown.
Engine Overheat
Overheat can be caused by a loss of coolant or a general cooling system failure. Some of the
indicators of overheat are:

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 06-06-01-007F > Mar > 10 > Diesel Engine Damage Due To Power-Up Devices > Page 6142
- Melted pistons.
- Head gasket breakdown or non-function.
- Warped cylinder heads.
- Crankshaft and connecting rod discolored.
Engine Overspeed Causes
If an engine has been run faster than design capability (redline), and has caused damage as a
result, it may be a result of one of the following conditions:
- Leaking or failed turbocharger (TC) oil seals.
- Oil evident in the intake runners and compressor side of the TC.
- Starting fluid use or alternative fuel added to the engine such as ether.
Engine Overspeed Results
The following are indicators that an overspeed event took place:
- Valve train damage.
- Pushrods that are bent (4).
- Broken valve bridge buttons after cylinder head removal (2).
- Rocker arm tip damage (1).
- Dry or rusted cylinders from the use of ether, propane or nitrous oxide.
- Piston to valve contact.
- Cam gear pin shear.
Lack of Oil Pressure
Lack of lubrication causes rapid bearing wear or bearing to seize.

Bearing failure. Spun main bearings.
Engine Premature Wear and Breakdown Due to Improper Function of Fuel Injector
A fuel injector may fracture a piston or melt a piston but the damage will be limited to that cylinder
only and all other pistons and cylinder walls are OK. In some cases hydraulic lock will occur on the
suspected cylinder with an over-fueling fuel injector. Hydraulic lock on the suspected cylinder will
cause a bent connecting rod. This can be verified with piston protrusion measurements.
2007-2010 RPO LMM Only Turbocharger DTC P003A Set
General Motors has identified a turbocharger (TC) failure mode involving Power-Up Kits that
causes soot leakage and DTC P003A to be set. The Power-Up Kits create an overtemperature
condition from the increased exhaust gas temperatures that results in a permanent and excessive
turbine housing distortion at the TC case halves.
1. A technician may observe one or more of the following conditions:
- DTC P003A being set as Current or in History.
- An unusual odor emanating from the TC due to an overtemperature condition.
- Soot leaking and accumulating at the V-band clamp that secures the TC case halves together.
- Limited or unresponsive travel when Commanding the TC Vane Pos. Ctrl. Solenoid ON and OFF
with a scan tool.
2. If DTC P003A is found as Current or in History, OR there is evidence of soot leakage (1) in the
area of the V-band clamp (1), then technicians
MUST verify if the engine control module (ECM) has a Power-Up Kit aftermarket calibration
installed or an aftermarket hardware device has been installed. Refer to Service Bulletin Number
08-06-04-006F or newer for the calibration verification information and procedures.
How to Handle a Suspect Engine Failure Due to a Power-Up Device
Dealers should not automatically decline warranty assistance on engine failures due to the fact that
a power-up device or modification is evident or suspected. The technician must identify that the
failure is due to a power-up device by teardown analysis and diagnosis of the engine components.
The following steps should be taken if an engine failure occurs and it is suspected that the
modification or addition of a power-up device maybe the cause of the engine failure. If unclear of
this process or direction feel free to contact your Fixed Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty
Manager) for further support.
1. The technician should use proper engine diagnostics to lead him/her to the failed engine
components. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List
should be followed and if it is determined that at least three of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check
List items match the engine component failures then it can be decided that the failure is not a
warrantable claim.
2. Engine failures that meet at least three criteria of the Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List are
considered failures that are not manufacturer's
defects in workmanship or materials.
3. The dealership should contact the PQC, open a case to review the findings and make the final
decision on warranty coverage. The Fixed
Operations Manager (in Canada, Warranty Manager) should be notified of the PQC decision.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 06-06-01-007F > Mar > 10 > Diesel Engine Damage Due To Power-Up Devices > Page 6144
4. Denied claims should be documented as follows:
1. The Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List completed with the technicians detailed written
findings of the diagnosis on the repair order and
retained in the repair order file.
2. Photographs of the failed parts should be retained in the repair order file.
5. The customer should be advised that the failure of their engine was not due to a manufacturer's
defect in workmanship or materials and therefore
the warranty claim is denied on this failure.
Aftermarket Power-Up Kit Check List
Important Print and use this aftermarket power-up kit check list when performing an engine
disassembly investigation of overpower engine breakdown or non-function. Retain a copy of this
checklist and photographs of the failed parts in the repair order file.

Purpose
This bulletin provides information about installing new Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software
and calibration on certain involved 2004-05 Chevrolet Silverado chassis cab, Suburban,
Avalanche; GMC Sierra chassis cab and Yukon XL model trucks, equipped with dual fuel tanks.
The revised calibration includes OBD system improvements that affect the fuel level sender
diagnostics that should be installed as soon as practical. Install the new calibration on all affected
vehicles identified in this bulletin, including vehicles in new dealer inventory and any vehicles that
return for service, for any reason, during the applicable 8 year / 80,000 mile (130,000 km) emission
controller warranty coverage period. To verify if an updated calibration is required, refer to the
following procedure in this bulletin.
Parts Information
Do not attempt to order the calibration number from GMSPO. The calibration numbers are
programmed into Control Modules via a Techline Tech 2 scan tool and the Techline Information
System (TIS) 2000 terminal with the calibration update. Use data version 8.0 for 2006 or later,
broadcast to dealers on August 6, 2006 or TIS 2 Web version 8.0 for 2006 (website version of TIS);
and on TIS DVD version 8.0 / 2006 or later, mailed to dealers beginning August 23, 2006. If you
cannot access the calibration, call the Techline Customer Support Center and it will be provided.
Service Procedure
The "Required Field Actions" section of the GM Vehicle Inquiry System (GMVIS) must be checked
to determine if a specific vehicle requires this action. If GMVIS indicates that System Software
Upgrade 06535 remains 'open' and PCM reprogramming has not taken place otherwise after the
TIS Broadcast or DVD availability dates identified in this bulletin, reprogram the PCM using a Tech
2 scan tool with the calibration update from Techline Information System (TIS) 2000.
Tech 2(R) Remote Programming Method for PCM
Note:
Before reprogramming, please check the battery condition to prevent a reprogramming error of any
of the modules due to battery discharge. Battery voltage must be between 12 and 16 volts during
reprogramming. If the vehicle battery is not fully charged, use jumper cables from an additional
battery. Be sure to turn off or disable any system that may put a load on the battery, such as
automatic head lamps, daytime running lights, interior lights, heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) system, radio, engine cooling fan, etc. A programming failure or control
module damage may occur if battery voltage guidelines are not observed.
The ignition switch must be in the proper position. The Tech 2(R) prompts you to turn ON the
ignition, with the engine OFF. DO NOT change the position of the ignition switch during the
programming procedure, unless instructed to do so.
Make certain all tool connections are secure, including the following components and circuits:
^ The RS-232 communication cable port
^ The connection at the data link connector (DLC)
^ The voltage supply circuits
DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the
programming procedure, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
DO NOT turn OFF the ignition if the programming procedure is interrupted or unsuccessful. Ensure
that all control module and DLC connections

P0785, P0787, P0973, P0976, P1860, P2761, P2764 and P2769 may be set depending on the
vehicle.
Cause
The most likely cause of this condition may be a loss of voltage to the transmission solenoid power
supply circuit. This condition may also be the result of an incorrect installation of an aftermarket
electronic device such as a remote starter or alarm system.
Correction
Important:
If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket electronic device and the DTCs are being set when
the device is being used, verify that the appropriate fuse is being supplied battery voltage during
operation. If voltage is not present at this fuse, these DTCs will be set due to lack of voltage at the
solenoids. This condition is most likely to occur with an incorrectly installed remote starting system.
If this is the case, refer the customer to the installer of the system for corrections. ANY REPAIRS
DUE TO AFTERMARKET INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES IS A NON-WARRANTABLE ITEM.
1. With the ignition switch in the RUN position, test for battery voltage at the circuit fuse in the
transmission solenoid power supply circuit. Refer to the appropriate SI Document for the
transmission solenoid power supply circuit information.
2. If battery voltage is present at the fuse, inspect the ignition voltage circuit between the fuse and
the transmission for possible opens.
3. If battery voltage is not present at the fuse, test for continuity between the fuse and the ignition
switch. If NO continuity is between the fuse and the ignition switch, repair the open in that circuit.
4. If you have continuity between the fuse and the ignition switch, the most likely cause is the
ignition switch. Replace the ignition switch using the appropriate Ignition Switch Replacement
procedure in SI. Refer to group number 2.188 of the parts catalog for part description and usage of
the ignition switch.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the Corvette and GTO models and to include the 4L65-E
transmission. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-025 (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a transmission leak, inoperative 2nd/4th gear, slipping 3rd/4th
gear or no movement due to excess fluid loss.
Cause
This condition normally occurs at low mileage, usually under 1,600 km (1,000 mi), and investigation
may show that the servo cover is loose or that the transmission case is cracked or broken at the
servo bore.
This condition may be caused by a servo cover retaining ring that did not retain the servo cover.
The servo retaining ring design was changed for the 2004 MY from round wire to wire with two flat
faces.
In mid-April, 2004, the retaining ring design did revert back to a round design in production.
It is possible that the transmission case may crack at the servo cover area due to the retaining ring
being incorrectly seated.
Correction
Important:
^ In mid-April, 2004, the retaining ring design did revert back to a round design in production.
^ If the transmission fluid level has lowered due to loss of fluid, it is possible that damaged 3/4
clutches will result.
^ A cracked or broken case may usually be repaired at a significantly lower cost than transmission
assembly replacement by replacing the case and any damaged clutches or bands.
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Inspect the transmission case around the servo cover for signs of cracks or damage to the case.
^ If the transmission case is cracked or damaged, replace the transmission case. Refer to the
appropriate SI Document for Transmission Case Replacement.
^ If the servo cover is leaking and the case is not damaged, continue with the next step.
3. Remove the front exhaust pipe assembly. Refer to the appropriate SI Document.
4. Remove the heat shield if equipped. Refer to the appropriate SI Document.
5. Clean the servo cover area with Brake Clean and shop air.

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Brake Switch - TCC >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6324
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Measuring Voltage Drop
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6325
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Brake Switch - TCC >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6326
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Brake Switch - TCC >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6327
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Brake Switch - TCC >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6328
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Brake Switch - TCC >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6329
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Brake Switch - TCC >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6341
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Brake Switch - TCC >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6342
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Brake Switch - TCC >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6345
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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 Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to
determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold
them between thumb and forefinger.
7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place.
- Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.
- Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip.

- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool. 7. Place the splice
sleeve in the crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9.
Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop
in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent
the wire from passing through the splice (3).
10. Close the handles of the J 38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until the proper
amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2012 model year and update information.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-07-30-001B (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a small red fluid/oil leak during cold weather. Upon further
investigation, the technician may find a small fluid leak in the area at the back of the transmission
by the vent.
Cause
This condition may be caused by fluid being discharged out the transmission vent due to a low
transmission fluid fill. During extreme cold weather, (approximately -25°C (-15°F or colder), low
fluid fill can cause the transmission pump to ingest air which can aerate the fluid and push some
fluid out the vent.
Correction
On 2001 through 2012 models, verify the transmission is full of fluid. Follow the SI fluid checking
procedure to PROPERLY check the transmission fluid level using the Hot Check Procedure.
Important Ensure that the fluid level is at the top of the HOT band when the transmission fluid
temperature is 79°C (175°F). Refer to SI Document ID# 2408059 for the proper fluid level checking
procedure.
Note
Only on 2001-2004 models, replace the transmission fluid indicator (dipstick) with a new vented
indicator, P/N 15794381.

case. The complete design was implemented in three phases.
The first phase, beginning in September 2002, relocated the machining of the oil pump 0-ring seal
groove in the pump body. The 0-ring seal groove moved 1.6 mm (0.62 in) inward on the pump body
in order to place the sealing surface deeper into the case bore. The relocated pump body groove
can be identified by measuring the groove location. Pump bodies that measure 2.3 mm (0.09 in)
from the machined surface to the groove opening have the relocated 0-ring seal groove. Pump
bodies that measure 3.9 mm (0.15 in) are prior to September 2002 design.

The first phase also machined a case chamfer leading into the pump bore (2). The chamfer is
designed to help eliminate possible 0-ring seal damage during pump installation.
Phase two modified the case casting and the chamfer into the pump bore. The casting change left
additional material in the surrounding pump bore to allow deeper bore machining in order to create
the necessary sealing surface for a new pump seal design. The leading surface into the pump bore
was also machined with a modified chamfer (1).

Phase three will eliminate the oil pump body 0-ring seal groove and the 0-ring seal. Beginning
March 2004, a new stamped carrier molded rubber seal (2) will be used to seal the pump assembly
to the transmission case.
The pump sealing surface is now the outer diameter of the pump and the inner diameter (1) of the
transmission case bore. Unlike the current 0-ring seal, which is installed on the oil pump body, the
new seal is installed after the pump assembly is properly positioned and torqued in place. Seating
the seal is accomplished when the torque converter housing is installed, which presses the seal (3)
into position between the pump and the case bore (1).
As a result of the modified casting and the deeper pump bore machining, the area between the oil
pan mounting surface and the pump bore has decreased. Because of the reduced material in this
area (1) it is necessary to use the shorter oil pan attaching bolts (2). Early pan bolts (3), before
November 2002, should not be used with the modified case design, since they are 1.0 mm (0.39 in)
longer and could deform the chamfer surface (4).

When Servicing transmissions with the new seal design, use the following precautions:
^ The outer diameter of the pump assembly and case bore must be clean and free of burrs or
raised surfaces. Be aware of sharp edges that could damage the seal during installation.
^ The seal should be clean and dry before installation. It does not require lubrication for installation.
^ The seal should be inspected prior to installation for obvious damage.
^ It is preferable to hand-start the seal positioning the seal evenly around the case bore before
installing the torque converter housing.
^ The seal can be easily removed by prying it out, typical of a pressed-on seal.
^ The seal may be reused, however a thorough inspection must be performed. Inspect the seal for
the following conditions:
^ Distortion of the metal carrier or separation from the rubber seal.
^ A cut, deformed, or damaged seal.
^ Refer to the appropriate unit repair information in SI for seal removal and installation procedures.

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.

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.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the vehicle has no movement when the transmission is shifted
to DRIVE or THIRD position, but there is normal operation when it is shifted to SECOND, FIRST or

Cause
This condition may be caused by a damaged forward sprag assembly (642).
Correction
When inspecting the sprag, it is important to test the sprag for proper operation by holding the outer
race (644) with one hand while rotating the input sun gear (640) with the other hand. The sun gear
should rotate only in the counterclockwise direction with the input sun gear facing upward. If the
sprag rotates in both directions or will not rotate in either direction, the sprag elements should be
inspected by removing one of the sprag assembly retaining rings (643). Refer to SI Unit Repair
section for forward clutch sprag disassembly procedures.
If the sprag is found to be damaged, make repairs to the transmission as necessary. A new forward
roller clutch sprag assembly is now available from GMSPO.

with 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E or 4L70E Automatic Transmission (RPOs MD8, M30, M32, M33 or M70)
Condition
Some customers may comment that the vehicle has no movement when the transmission is shifted
to DRIVE or THIRD position, but there is normal operation when it is shifted to SECOND, FIRST or
REVERSE position.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a damaged forward sprag assembly (642).
Correction
When inspecting the sprag, it is important to test the sprag for proper operation by holding the outer
race (644) with one hand while rotating the input sun gear (640) with the other hand. The sun gear
should rotate only in the counterclockwise direction with the input sun gear facing upward. If the
sprag rotates in both directions or will not rotate in either direction, the sprag elements should be
inspected by removing one of the sprag assembly retaining rings (643). Refer to SI Unit Repair
section for forward clutch sprag disassembly procedures.
If the sprag is found to be damaged, make repairs to the transmission as necessary. A new forward
roller clutch sprag assembly is now available from GMSPO.

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.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2012 model year and update information.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-07-30-001B (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a small red fluid/oil leak during cold weather. Upon further
investigation, the technician may find a small fluid leak in the area at the back of the transmission
by the vent.
Cause
This condition may be caused by fluid being discharged out the transmission vent due to a low
transmission fluid fill. During extreme cold weather, (approximately -25°C (-15°F or colder), low
fluid fill can cause the transmission pump to ingest air which can aerate the fluid and push some
fluid out the vent.
Correction
On 2001 through 2012 models, verify the transmission is full of fluid. Follow the SI fluid checking
procedure to PROPERLY check the transmission fluid level using the Hot Check Procedure.
Important Ensure that the fluid level is at the top of the HOT band when the transmission fluid
temperature is 79°C (175°F). Refer to SI Document ID# 2408059 for the proper fluid level checking
procedure.
Note
Only on 2001-2004 models, replace the transmission fluid indicator (dipstick) with a new vented
indicator, P/N 15794381.

Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

Number 04-07-30-037D (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS / TRANSFER CASES and POWER STEERING
The content of this bulletin does not apply to manual transmissions or transfer cases. Any vehicle
that previously required DEXRON(R)-III for a manual transmission or transfer case should now use
P/N 88861800. This fluid is labeled Manual Transmission and Transfer Case Fluid. Some manual
transmissions and transfer cases require a different fluid. Appropriate references should be
checked when servicing any of these components.
Power Steering Systems should now use P/N 9985010 labeled Power Steering Fluid.
Consult the Parts Catalog, Owner's Manual, or Service Information (SI) for fluid recommendations.
Some of our customers and/or General Motors dealerships/Saturn Retailers may have some
concerns with DEXRON(R)-VI and DEXRON(R)-III Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and
transmission warranty claims. DEXRON(R)-VI is the only approved fluid for warranty repairs for
General Motors transmissions/transaxles requiring DEXRON(R)-III and/or prior DEXRON(R)
transmission fluids (except as noted above). Please remember that the clean oil reservoirs of the
J-45096 - Flushing and Flow Tester machine should be purged of DEXRON(R)-III and filled with
DEXRON(R)-VI for testing, flushing or filling General Motors transmissions/transaxles (except as
noted above).
DEXRON(R)-VI can be used in any proportion in past model vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission/transaxle in place of DEXRON(R)-III (i.e. topping off the fluid in the event of a repair
or fluid change). DEXRON(R)-VI is also compatible with any former version of DEXRON(R) for use
in automatic transmissions/transaxles.
DEXRON(R)-VI ATF
General Motors Powertrain has upgraded to DEXRON(R)-VI ATF with the start of 2006 vehicle
production.
Current and prior automatic transmission models that had used DEXRON(R)-III must now only use
DEXRON(R)-VI.

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.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

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 bulletin is being revised to update the Parts Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-017A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Effective with Julian date 4019 (January 19, 2004), the 4T65E transaxle cases and cooler fittings
have changed and are not interchangeable with past models. The technician may find that when
replacing the inlet or outlet transmission cooler lines, the new lines cannot be connected to the
transmission.
A change to the transmission cooler line fittings was implemented in production on February 1,
2004. The cooler line fittings were changed to a design with a longer lead in pilot (1). The cooler
line fittings with the longer lead in pilot will not fit on models built before February 1, 2004.
The longer lead in pilot fittings (1) (9/16-18 UNF) have replaced the shorter lead in pilot fittings (2)
(3/8-18 NPSF w/check ball & 1/4-18 NPSF).
If the transmission cooler lines will not connect, then replace them with the following cooler line
fittings as appropriate with the older, shorter lead in pilot design:
^ For vehicles built prior to February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Inlet Hose, P/N
20793004.
^ For vehicles built after February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Inlet Hose, second
design P/N 15264588.
^ For vehicles built prior to February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Outlet Hose, P/N
20793005.
^ For vehicles built after February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Outlet Hose, second
design P/N 15264589.

The torque specification has changed for the fittings to case. The torque has changed from 38 Nm
(28 lb ft) to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten the new cooler fittings to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
The converter drain back check ball (420C) has been removed from the cooler line fitting and is
now located in the channel plate.
If you get a concern of no movement in the morning or after sitting for several hours, the cooler
check ball should be inspected.
The best way to determine where the check ball is located is to look at the cooler line fittings. The
old fittings are different sizes (3/8-18 NPSF & 1/4-18 NPSF) and would contain the cooler check
ball. The new fittings are the same size as each other (9/16-18 UNF) and do not have a cooler
check ball.

A new transmission oil pan magnet, P/N 29535617, was released for service. The current square
transmission oil pan magnet may become saturated with normal ferrous sediment and the Pressure
Control Solenoid (PCS) is now collecting ferrous sediment, making it vary from design. For a given
current the PCS electromagnet is stronger, causing the line pressure to be less than needed.
When checking PCS line pressure (refer to Line Pressure Check in SI) and it shows that the line
pressure is lower than required (refer to Current-Amps/Line Pressure Chart in SI), for a given
current at the PCS or the transmission oil pan was removed (for either normal maintenance or
warranty service), only then should the transmission oil pan magnet be upgraded.
1. Remove and discard the original square transmission oil pan magnet and install a new one in the
current location (See graphics below for the
correct application).
2. Install the second new transmission oil pan magnet in the following location as shown in the

Subject: Oil Pump Assembly Seal and Transmission Case Change
Models: 2002-2004 Cars and Light Duty Trucks with 4L60-E or 4L65-E Automatic Transmissions
(RPOs M30, M32 or M33)
An improved oil pump to case seal design has been made to the 4L60-E/4L65-E transmission. The
new design affects the oil pump, the oil pump seal, the transmission pan bolts and the transmission
case. The complete design was implemented in three phases.
The first phase, beginning in September 2002, relocated the machining of the oil pump 0-ring seal
groove in the pump body. The 0-ring seal groove moved 1.6 mm (0.62 in) inward on the pump body
in order to place the sealing surface deeper into the case bore. The relocated pump body groove
can be identified by measuring the groove location. Pump bodies that measure 2.3 mm (0.09 in)
from the machined surface to the groove opening have the relocated 0-ring seal groove. Pump
bodies that measure 3.9 mm (0.15 in) are prior to September 2002 design.

The first phase also machined a case chamfer leading into the pump bore (2). The chamfer is
designed to help eliminate possible 0-ring seal damage during pump installation.
Phase two modified the case casting and the chamfer into the pump bore. The casting change left
additional material in the surrounding pump bore to allow deeper bore machining in order to create
the necessary sealing surface for a new pump seal design. The leading surface into the pump bore
was also machined with a modified chamfer (1).

Phase three will eliminate the oil pump body 0-ring seal groove and the 0-ring seal. Beginning
March 2004, a new stamped carrier molded rubber seal (2) will be used to seal the pump assembly
to the transmission case.
The pump sealing surface is now the outer diameter of the pump and the inner diameter (1) of the
transmission case bore. Unlike the current 0-ring seal, which is installed on the oil pump body, the
new seal is installed after the pump assembly is properly positioned and torqued in place. Seating
the seal is accomplished when the torque converter housing is installed, which presses the seal (3)
into position between the pump and the case bore (1).
As a result of the modified casting and the deeper pump bore machining, the area between the oil
pan mounting surface and the pump bore has decreased. Because of the reduced material in this
area (1) it is necessary to use the shorter oil pan attaching bolts (2). Early pan bolts (3), before
November 2002, should not be used with the modified case design, since they are 1.0 mm (0.39 in)
longer and could deform the chamfer surface (4).

When Servicing transmissions with the new seal design, use the following precautions:
^ The outer diameter of the pump assembly and case bore must be clean and free of burrs or
raised surfaces. Be aware of sharp edges that could damage the seal during installation.
^ The seal should be clean and dry before installation. It does not require lubrication for installation.
^ The seal should be inspected prior to installation for obvious damage.
^ It is preferable to hand-start the seal positioning the seal evenly around the case bore before
installing the torque converter housing.
^ The seal can be easily removed by prying it out, typical of a pressed-on seal.
^ The seal may be reused, however a thorough inspection must be performed. Inspect the seal for
the following conditions:
^ Distortion of the metal carrier or separation from the rubber seal.
^ A cut, deformed, or damaged seal.
^ Refer to the appropriate unit repair information in SI for seal removal and installation procedures.

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.

Subject: Oil Pump Assembly Seal and Transmission Case Change
Models: 2002-2004 Cars and Light Duty Trucks with 4L60-E or 4L65-E Automatic Transmissions
(RPOs M30, M32 or M33)
An improved oil pump to case seal design has been made to the 4L60-E/4L65-E transmission. The
new design affects the oil pump, the oil pump seal, the transmission pan bolts and the transmission
case. The complete design was implemented in three phases.
The first phase, beginning in September 2002, relocated the machining of the oil pump 0-ring seal
groove in the pump body. The 0-ring seal groove moved 1.6 mm (0.62 in) inward on the pump body
in order to place the sealing surface deeper into the case bore. The relocated pump body groove
can be identified by measuring the groove location. Pump bodies that measure 2.3 mm (0.09 in)
from the machined surface to the groove opening have the relocated 0-ring seal groove. Pump
bodies that measure 3.9 mm (0.15 in) are prior to September 2002 design.

The first phase also machined a case chamfer leading into the pump bore (2). The chamfer is
designed to help eliminate possible 0-ring seal damage during pump installation.
Phase two modified the case casting and the chamfer into the pump bore. The casting change left
additional material in the surrounding pump bore to allow deeper bore machining in order to create
the necessary sealing surface for a new pump seal design. The leading surface into the pump bore
was also machined with a modified chamfer (1).

Phase three will eliminate the oil pump body 0-ring seal groove and the 0-ring seal. Beginning
March 2004, a new stamped carrier molded rubber seal (2) will be used to seal the pump assembly
to the transmission case.
The pump sealing surface is now the outer diameter of the pump and the inner diameter (1) of the
transmission case bore. Unlike the current 0-ring seal, which is installed on the oil pump body, the
new seal is installed after the pump assembly is properly positioned and torqued in place. Seating
the seal is accomplished when the torque converter housing is installed, which presses the seal (3)
into position between the pump and the case bore (1).
As a result of the modified casting and the deeper pump bore machining, the area between the oil
pan mounting surface and the pump bore has decreased. Because of the reduced material in this
area (1) it is necessary to use the shorter oil pan attaching bolts (2). Early pan bolts (3), before
November 2002, should not be used with the modified case design, since they are 1.0 mm (0.39 in)
longer and could deform the chamfer surface (4).

When Servicing transmissions with the new seal design, use the following precautions:
^ The outer diameter of the pump assembly and case bore must be clean and free of burrs or
raised surfaces. Be aware of sharp edges that could damage the seal during installation.
^ The seal should be clean and dry before installation. It does not require lubrication for installation.
^ The seal should be inspected prior to installation for obvious damage.
^ It is preferable to hand-start the seal positioning the seal evenly around the case bore before
installing the torque converter housing.
^ The seal can be easily removed by prying it out, typical of a pressed-on seal.
^ The seal may be reused, however a thorough inspection must be performed. Inspect the seal for
the following conditions:
^ Distortion of the metal carrier or separation from the rubber seal.
^ A cut, deformed, or damaged seal.
^ Refer to the appropriate unit repair information in SI for seal removal and installation procedures.

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6777
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency

Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6779
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6780
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6781
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6782
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks

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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.

Micro-Pack 100W Connectors
MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
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. Insure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the
terminal.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6794
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6795
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs
SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6798
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection 4L60/4L60-E/4L65-E Transmission
Tow/Haul Switch/Indicator Always On or Inoperative
Circuit Description
Tow/haul mode enables the operator to achieve enhanced shift performance when towing or
hauling a load. When tow/haul mode is selected, the tow/haul switch input signal to the body
control module (BCM) is momentarily toggled to zero volts. This signals the powertrain control
module (PCM) to extend the length of time between upshifts and increase transmission line
pressure. Cycling the tow/haul switch again disables tow/haul mode and returns the transmission to
a normal shift pattern.
Diagnostic Aids
If the electrical circuit tests are OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a
mechanical/hydraulic condition that prevents tow/haul operation. Refer to Symptoms - Automatic
Transmission.

This bulletin is being revised to add model years and additional model information and add
graphics. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-011B (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)

^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-63-003
Date: November 26, 2008
Subject: Hood Hinge Pivot Hole Too Large On Some Replacement Fenders
Models: 1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic 2001-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe
1999-2007 GMC Sierra Classic 2001-2006 GMC Yukon Models
Technicians installing GMSPO service replacement fenders may find that the fender side hood
hinge pivot bolt attachment hole is too large (12 mm).
The hood hinge pivot bolt attachment hole on some service fenders may be too large (12 mm),
causing improper retention of the pivot bolt. To correct this condition, add a M8 X 32 mm O.D. X 2
mm thick washer between the hinge halves on the inboard side of the fender side hood hinge. This
will provide the proper surface for the shoulder of the pivot bolt to contact as it is tightened. Refer to
the illustration above.

The reaction sun gear (673) may not hold inside the reaction sun shell (670).
Correction
Important:
There are FOUR distinct groups of vehicles and repair procedures involved. Vehicles built in the
2001 model year and prior that make use of a reaction shaft to shell thrust washer:
^ The sun shell can be identified by four square holes used to retain the thrust washer. Use
reaction sun shell P/N 24228345, reaction carrier to shell thrust washer (699B) P/N 8642202 and
reaction sun gear shell thrust washer (674) P/N 8642331er (674) P/N 8642331along with the
appropriate seals and washers listed below.
^ Vehicles built in the 2001 model year and prior that have had previous service to the reaction sun
shell: It is possible that some 2001 and prior model year vehicles have had previous service to the
reaction sun shell. At the time of service, these vehicles may have been updated with a Reaction
Sun Shell Kit (Refer to Service Bulletin 020730003) without four square holes to retain the thrust
washer. If it is found in a 2001 model year and prior vehicles that the reaction sun shell DOES NOT
have four square holes to retain the thrust washer, these vehicles must be serviced with P/Ns
24229825 (674), 24217328 and 8642331 along with the appropriate seals and washers listed
below.
^ Vehicles built in the 2001 model year and later that make use of a reaction shaft to shell thrust
bearing: The sun shell can be identified by no holes to retain the thrust washer. Use reaction sun
shell, P/N 24229825, reaction carrier shaft to shell thrust bearing (669A), P/N 24217328 and
reaction sun gear shell thrust washer (674), P/N 8642331 along with the appropriate seals and
washers listed below.
^ Vehicles built from November, 2001 through June, 2002: These vehicles should have the reaction
carrier shaft replaced when the sun shell is replaced. Use shell kit P/N 24229853, which contains a
sun shell (670), a reaction carrier shaft (666), a reaction carrier shaft to shell thrust bearing (669A)
and a reaction sun gear shell thrust washer (674). The appropriate seals and washers listed below
should also be used.
When servicing the transmission as a result of this condition, the transmission oil cooler and lines
MUST be flushed. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-052.
Follow the service procedure below for diagnosis and correction of the no reverse, no second, no
forth condition.

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

through the cooler.
^ Converter bearing noise determined by noise from the bell housing area in Drive or Reverse at
idle. The noise is gone in Neutral and Park.
^ If silicon from the viscous clutch is found in the lower pan (4T80-E ONLY).

This bulletin is being revised to update the Parts Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-07-30-017A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Effective with Julian date 4019 (January 19, 2004), the 4T65E transaxle cases and cooler fittings
have changed and are not interchangeable with past models. The technician may find that when
replacing the inlet or outlet transmission cooler lines, the new lines cannot be connected to the
transmission.
A change to the transmission cooler line fittings was implemented in production on February 1,
2004. The cooler line fittings were changed to a design with a longer lead in pilot (1). The cooler
line fittings with the longer lead in pilot will not fit on models built before February 1, 2004.
The longer lead in pilot fittings (1) (9/16-18 UNF) have replaced the shorter lead in pilot fittings (2)
(3/8-18 NPSF w/check ball & 1/4-18 NPSF).
If the transmission cooler lines will not connect, then replace them with the following cooler line
fittings as appropriate with the older, shorter lead in pilot design:
^ For vehicles built prior to February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Inlet Hose, P/N
20793004.
^ For vehicles built after February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Inlet Hose, second
design P/N 15264588.
^ For vehicles built prior to February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Outlet Hose, P/N
20793005.
^ For vehicles built after February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Outlet Hose, second
design P/N 15264589.

The torque specification has changed for the fittings to case. The torque has changed from 38 Nm
(28 lb ft) to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten the new cooler fittings to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
The converter drain back check ball (420C) has been removed from the cooler line fitting and is
now located in the channel plate.
If you get a concern of no movement in the morning or after sitting for several hours, the cooler
check ball should be inspected.
The best way to determine where the check ball is located is to look at the cooler line fittings. The
old fittings are different sizes (3/8-18 NPSF & 1/4-18 NPSF) and would contain the cooler check
ball. The new fittings are the same size as each other (9/16-18 UNF) and do not have a cooler
check ball.

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

each repair.
With the ATF in a tightly sealed container, place the container in a tub of hot water for a period of
time. Then pour the ATF into the reservoir. This method works best with a low fluid level in the
reservoir.
Place the Transflow(R) machine in the direct sunlight with the cabinet door open to expose the
reservoir to the rays of the warm sun.
Flush / Flow Test Procedure
Important All labor operations that include removal of the transmission from the vehicle and require
the transmission oil pan or transmission side cover to be removed include labor time to flush the
transmission oil cooler system.
Refer to SI for Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flushing and Flow Test J 45096 for the
appropriate procedure.
Important The J 45096 can be used to flush the transmission oil cooler system on an Allison
equipped vehicle, but the flow meter should not be utilized. Refer to SI for Automatic Transmission
Oil Cooler Flushing and Flow Test J 45096 for the appropriate flow check procedure.
Machine Displays
After completion of the flush and flow test, the following information is to be recorded on the repair
order. This information is displayed on the Transmission Cooling System Service Tool, J 45096,
Transflow(R) machine when the dial is in the code position.

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.

Circuit Description
Tow/haul mode enables the operator to achieve enhanced shift performance when towing or
hauling a load. When tow/haul mode is selected, the tow/haul switch input signal to the body
control module (BCM) is momentarily toggled to zero volts. This signals the powertrain control
module (PCM) to extend the length of time between upshifts and increase transmission line
pressure. Cycling the tow/haul switch again disables tow/haul mode and returns the transmission to
a normal shift pattern.
Diagnostic Aids
If the electrical circuit tests are OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a
mechanical/hydraulic condition that prevents tow/haul operation. Refer to Symptoms - Automatic

Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.

Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.

Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)

Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
An illuminated MIL where DTC P0757 is found as a history code in the PCM or TCM.
No 3rd and 4th gear.
The transmission does not shift correctly.
The transmission feels like it shifts to Neutral or a loss of drive occurs.
The vehicle free wheels above 48 km/h (30 mph). High RPM needed to overcome the free
wheeling.

Chips or debris plugging the bleed orifice of the 2-3 shift solenoid (367). This will cause the
transmission to stay in 2nd gear when 3rd gear is commanded and return to 1st gear when 4th
gear is commanded.
A 2-3 shift valve (368) or 2-3 shuttle valve (369) that is stuck, restricted and/or hung-up in its bore.
This condition may also be an indication of a damaged 2-4 band or 3-4 clutches. This clutch
damage may generate debris causing the 2-3 shift valve line-up to stick in the valve body bore and
set DTC P0757.
Correction
Inspect the condition of the transmission fluid for signs of overheat or a burnt odor. If either is
noted, the transmission should be disassembled for further investigation and repaired as needed.
Inspect the inside of the oil pan for signs of clutch friction material. A small amount of friction
material in the bottom of the pan is normal. If a large amount of clutch material is noted in the fluid
or bottom pan, the transmission should be disassembled for further investigation and repaired as
needed.
Inspect and clean the 2-3 shift valve (368), the 2-3 shuttle valve (369) and the valve bore of
debris/metal chips.
Inspect and clean the 2-3 shift solenoid (367B) opening of debris/metal chips. While inspecting the
2-3 shift solenoid (367B), look for a screen over the solenoid opening. If the solenoid DOES NOT
have a screen, replace the solenoid. All current GMSPO stock shift solenoids have a screen over
the solenoid opening.
If clutch debris is found, it is also very important to inspect the pressure control (PC) solenoid valve
fluid screens. Clean or replace the PC solenoid as necessary. It is also important to flush and flow
check the transmission oil cooler using J 45096. Refer to SI "Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler
Flushing and Flow Test" for the procedure.
Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for additional diagnostic information and service
procedures.
Warranty Information
For repairs performed under warranty, use the applicable published labor code and information.

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.

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.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update model years, add additional models and add additional
diagnostic information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-002D (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:
^ The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is ON.
^ The transmission is defaulted to second gear (4L80/85-E).
^ The transmission is defaulted to third gear (4L60/65-E).
^ The instrument cluster is inoperative.
Upon investigation, one or all of the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0740, P0753, P0758,
P0785, P0787, P0973, P0976, P1860, P2761, P2764 and P2769 may be set depending on the
vehicle.
Cause
The most likely cause of this condition may be a loss of voltage to the transmission solenoid power
supply circuit. This condition may also be the result of an incorrect installation of an aftermarket
electronic device such as a remote starter or alarm system.
Correction
Important:
If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket electronic device and the DTCs are being set when
the device is being used, verify that the appropriate fuse is being supplied battery voltage during
operation. If voltage is not present at this fuse, these DTCs will be set due to lack of voltage at the
solenoids. This condition is most likely to occur with an incorrectly installed remote starting system.
If this is the case, refer the customer to the installer of the system for corrections. ANY REPAIRS
DUE TO AFTERMARKET INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES IS A NON-WARRANTABLE ITEM.
1. With the ignition switch in the RUN position, test for battery voltage at the circuit fuse in the
transmission solenoid power supply circuit. Refer to the appropriate SI Document for the
transmission solenoid power supply circuit information.
2. If battery voltage is present at the fuse, inspect the ignition voltage circuit between the fuse and
the transmission for possible opens.
3. If battery voltage is not present at the fuse, test for continuity between the fuse and the ignition
switch. If NO continuity is between the fuse and the ignition switch, repair the open in that circuit.
4. If you have continuity between the fuse and the ignition switch, the most likely cause is the
ignition switch. Replace the ignition switch using the appropriate Ignition Switch Replacement
procedure in SI. Refer to group number 2.188 of the parts catalog for part description and usage of
the ignition switch.

Models: 2001-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2001-2004 GMC Sierra with 6.0L, 6.6L or 8.1L Engine
This bulletin is being issued to add the Clutch Pressure Plate Adjustment (Off-Vehicle (6.0L, 6.6L,
8.1L only)) procedure to the Clutch sub-section of the Service Manual.
The following information has been updated within SI. If you are using a paper version of this
Service Manual, please make a reference to this bulletin on the affected page.
Clutch Pressure Plate Adjustment (Off-Vehicle (6.0L, 6.6L, 8.1L Only))
Important:
^ Use the following procedure when replacing ONLY the clutch disc. The self adjusting clutch
pressure plate/cover assembly must be "reset" back to the "unworn" position in order to work
properly. Failure to "reset" the cover assembly results in the inability to achieve full clutch release
and clutch slippage under full torque.
^ The 6.6L engine uses a "potted" style flywheel and the cover stamping is much shorter to
accommodate the flywheel. As a result, to "reset" this clutch, the cover MUST be evenly supported
at all six bolt holes in order to keep from bending the cover and to unload the adjuster ring allowing
the clutch to be "reset."
1. Place the clutch pressure plate and disc, flange side down, on a press.
2. Compress the pressure plate diaphragm spring fingers until tension is released from the stepped
adjusting ring.
3. Using 2 screwdrivers or other suitable tools, place them against 2 of the 3 stepped adjusting ring
tension spring stops (1), just ahead of the adjusting ring tension springs.

4. Using the screwdrivers, rotate the stepped adjusting ring counterclockwise (compressing the
tension springs) until the adjusting ring steps are fully adjusted out, then continue to hold in
position.
5. Release the press pressure from the pressure plate diaphragm spring fingers.
6. Release the adjusting ring tension spring stops.
7. Remove the pressure plate and disc from the press.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-07-30-043 (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). This bulletin is being issued to better
explain how the Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control (formerly known as Brake Transmission
Shift Interlock (BTSI)) feature is intended to operate. Revised wording regarding the shift lock
control system began appearing in the Owner Manuals beginning with the 2004 model year.
The shift lock control feature was intended to prevent drivers from shifting out of Park with the
vehicle running without the brakes applied. However, if the ignition switch is in the Accessory
(ACC) position, it may be possible on some vehicles to move the shift lever out of Park WITHOUT
first activating the brake.
The shift lock control system is ONLY active when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ON position.
This means that when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ON position, the shift lever cannot be
moved out of the Park position without activating the brake.
Some owners may feel that the shift lock control system prevents an unattended child from moving
the vehicle. Please stress to owners, as stated in the Owner Manual, that children should NEVER
be left unattended in a vehicle, even if the ignition key has been removed from the vehicle.

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.

with Four-Wheel Drive and 9.25" Front Axle Assemblies and Built Prior to April 1, 2004
This bulletin is being revised to update vehicle applications, part numbers and fluid fill information.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-04-19-001A (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Important:
This bulletin is intended for vehicles sold in very cold weather climates, especially those in Alaska
and certain regions of Canada.
Important:
This bulletin DOES NOT apply to vehicles built after April 1, 2004. Vehicles referenced above that
were built after April 1, 2004 were manufactured with front axles containing synthetic axle lubricant
and do not need to have the front axle fluid inspected or changed.
Front axles in the above-listed vehicles built before April 1, 2004 are manufactured with mineral-oil
base axle fluid. Because of the 9.25" front axle assembly's internal design characteristics, there
may be insufficient lubrication flow at very low ambient temperatures (-24°C (-12°F) or below). This
may contribute to premature pinion bearing wear if a vehicle is driven extensively in very low
ambient temperatures.
Important:
Please be certain that PDI personnel know to perform the drain/refill procedure all year round (not
just in the cold weather months). New vehicles that are expected to operate extensively in 4WD in
temperatures below -24°C (-12°F) should have their front axle fluid drained and refilled with
synthetic axle lubricant during PDI or before delivery to the first retail customer.
Follow the Front Drive Axle Lubricant Replacement procedure found in the Service Manual. It is not
necessary to flush the front axle assembly. Use Synthetic Axle Lubricant, P/N 12378261 or P/N
89021677 (Canadian P/N 10953455 or P/N 89021678). Each of these part numbers is the same
axle lubricant, with differences in packaging only. Fill to a level between 6 and 9 mm (0.25 in to
0.375 in) below the bottom of the fill plug.
For vehicles that have the axle lubricant changed, the front axle vent hose connector assembly will
need to be inspected.
Important:
Front axle assemblies with a vent hose connector assembly that is white in color do not need to be
changed.
If the vent hose connector is black in color, it will need to be changed so that the 0-ring seal is
compatible with the synthetic lubricant Install vent connector, P/N 12479390. Follow the Front Drive
Axle Vent Hose Connector Replacement procedure in the Service Manual.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the parts information in the table and to add an Illustrated
Hub Gallery depicting all wheel hub part numbers called out below for visual identification
purposes. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-03-08-003 (Section 03 - Suspension).
General Motors Vehicle Engineering has introduced a new design Gen III front wheel hub for the
above listed vehicles that replaces the Gen II product.
These Gen II 4x2 and 4x4 applications that were previously serviced by seven part numbers are
now serviced by three Gen III part numbers.
Concerns have been expressed by technicians regarding the use of the new supersessions and
whether the Gen III hubs will properly fit the vehicles being serviced, especially because of visual
and functional differences (splines). This bulletin has been developed to address those concerns.
Please refer to the table above for information on the Gen III replacement part for each Gen II
application. At the end of the bulletin you will find an illustrated "Hub Gallery" with graphic
depictions of both Gen II and replacement style Gen III parts. Using these illustrations you should
be able to identify both the Gen II and Gen III wheel hubs.
Warning
If replacing wheel studs, please refer to the GM Parts Catalog for the correct stud part number for
each application. Different types of studs are used depending on the wheel hub application.
When replacing an older Gen II design 4x2 hub with a new 4x2/4x4 common Gen III hub, it is
acceptable to have a bearing with splines on it for a 4x2 application that previously did not.
However, the older Gen II design 4x4 hubs should NOT be used on a 4x2 vehicle. The Gen II 4x4
hub relies on the tension of the wheel drive shaft joint to hold everything together. The roll form
feature on the inboard side of the new 4x2/4x4 Gen III hub eliminates this concern.
The only hub that is not back serviceable is P/N 15719007 (not pictured) for 1999-2000 C25
applications due to a different hub flange to bearing flange offset.
Important:
Only the new part numbers referenced in this bulletin are interchangeable between the 4x2 and
4x4 applications with the exception of P/N 15719007 (Not Shown). Under no circumstances should
any other 4x4 hub be used in a 4x2 application.

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.

Disassembly Procedure
1. Support the propeller shaft in a line horizontal with the table of a press.
Notice: Never clamp propeller shaft tubing in a vise. Clamping could dent or deform the tube
causing an imbalance or unsafe condition. Always clamp on one of the yokes and support the shaft
horizontally. Avoid damaging the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may damage the bushing or cut
the lip seal.
2. Mark the propeller shaft as to which end is the transmission end and which end goes to the rear
axle.
3. Place the universal joint so that the lower ear of the yoke is supported on a 30 mm (1 1/8 inch)
socket.
4. In order to shear the plastic retaining ring on the bearing cup, place J 9522-3 on the open
horizontal bearing cups. Press the lower bearing cup out
of the yoke ear.
5. If you do not completely remove the bearing cup, lift the cross and insert J 9522-5 between the
seal and the bearing cup you are removing.
Continue to press the bearing cup out of the yoke.
6. Rotate the propeller shaft. Press the opposite bearing cup out of the yoke. 7. Mark the
orientation of the slip yoke to the tube for proper reassembly. 8. Remove the cross from the yoke.
9. Remove the remaining universal joint parts from the yoke. If you are replacing the front universal
joint, remove the bearing cups in the slip yoke in
the same manner.
10. Inspect the retaining ring grooves for plastic. 11. Inspect the bearing cup bores in the yoke ears
for burrs or imperfections. 12. Clean the remains of the sheared plastic bearing retainers from the
grooves in the yoke. 13. The sheared plastic may prevent the bearing cups from pressing into
place and thus prevent the bearing retainers from properly seating.
Assembly Procedure
1. Remove the bearing cups from the universal joint.

Disassembly Procedure
Notice: Never clamp propeller shaft tubing in a vise. Clamping could dent or deform the tube
causing an imbalance or unsafe condition. Always clamp on one of the yokes and support the shaft
horizontally. Avoid damaging the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may damage the bushing or cut
the lip seal.
1. Support the propeller shaft in a line horizontal with the table of a press. 2. Mark the propeller
shaft in order to show which end connects to the transmission and which end goes to the rear axle.
3. Disassemble the snap rings by pinching the ends together with a pair of pliers. 4. If the ring does
not readily snap out of the groove in the yoke, tap the end of the cup lightly in order to relieve the
pressure from the ring.
5. Place the universal joint so that the lower ear of the yoke is supported on a 30 mm (1-1/8 inch)
hex head socket or a 27 mm (1-1/16 inch) socket.
6. Place J 9522-3 on the open horizontal bearing cups. Press the lower bearing cup out of the yoke
ear. 7. If you do not completely remove the bearing cup, lift the cross and insert J 9522-5 between
the seal and the bearing cup you are removing.
Continue pressing the bearing cup out of the yoke.
8. Rotate the propeller shaft . Press the opposite bearing cup out of the yoke. 9. Mark the
orientation of the slip yoke to the tube for proper reassembly.
10. Remove the cross from the yoke. 11. Remove the remaining universal joint parts from the yoke.
12. If you are replacing the front universal joint, remove the bearing cups in the slip yoke in the
same manner. 13. Inspect the retaining ring grooves for dirt, corrosion, or pieces of the old ring. 14.
Inspect the bearing cup bores for burrs or imperfections. 15. Clean the retaining ring grooves.
Corrosion, dirt, rust, or pieces of the old retaining ring may prevent the bearing cups from pressing
into place or
prevent the bearing retainers from properly seating.
Assembly Procedure
1. Remove the bearing cups from the universal joint.

2. Assemble 1 bearing cup part way into 1 side of the yoke. Turn the yoke ear toward the bottom.
3. Assemble the cross into the yoke so that the trunnion seats freely into the bearing cup.
4. With the trunnion seated in the bearing cup, press the bearing cup into the yoke until the bearing
cup is flush with the yoke ear. 5. Install the opposite bearing cup part way into the yoke ear. 6.
Ensure that the trunnions start straight and true into both bearing cups. 7. Press the opposite
bearing cup into the yoke ear while working the cross all the time in order to inspect for free
unbinding movement of the
trunnions in the bearing cups.
8. Press the bearing cup into the yoke until the bearing cup retainer groove is visible over the top of
the bearing cup.
Important: If there seems to be a hang up or binding, stop pressing. Inspect the needle bearings for
misalignment in the bearing cup.
9. Assemble the bearing retainer in the retainer groove.
10. Continue pressing until both retainers can be snapped into place.

This bulletin is being revised to clarify steps 10 and 11 and the illustration in step 10 of the
procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-036C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that while towing a trailer, or if the vehicle is loaded on a long
upgrade climb and high ambient temperatures, the Driver Information Center states Engine Coolant
Hot, the engine overheats and there is a loss of power and air conditioning.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following possibilities:
Installation of an aftermarket grille.
A plugged charge air cooler.
Fan clutch not operating properly.
Drive belt slip.
An overfilled transmission.
Turbocharger not operating properly.
A plugged air filter.
Correction
Inspect the following areas FIRST.
Inspect for changes to the air intake area or for aftermarket grille accessories. Make sure all air
dams are in place and not modified. Remove any aftermarket grille or accessories that may restrict
air flow.
Visually inspect the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) to insure that it is not plugged externally. Use the
Special Tool J 46091 to ensure that all pipe connections are properly sealed and the CAC does not
have a leak.
Monitor the fan clutch operation and complete SI Diagnostics for Fan Clutch Diagnosis. If the fan
seems to be cycling on and off when the engine RPMs are above 2800, this could indicate a belt
slip condition.
Monitor the actual and desired turbo vane position to verify that the turbocharger is performing
properly.
Inspect the transmission fluid level. An overfilled transmission can add to heat levels in the cooling
system.
Inspect the air induction system. Ensure that the filter is in good condition and is properly installed.

Power Take-Off: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Power Take-Off > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7754
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Measuring Voltage Drop
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Power Take-Off > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7755
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Power Take-Off > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7756
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Power Take-Off > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7757
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Power Take-Off > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7758
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Power Take-Off > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7759
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 34142-B 12 V Unpowered Test Lamp
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage.
The J 34142-B 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 1 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 1 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
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Power Take-Off > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7771
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Power Take-Off > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7772
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Power Take-Off > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7775
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to
determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold
them between thumb and forefinger.
7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place.

3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original.
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC.
Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the
possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool. 7. Place the splice
sleeve in the crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9.
Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop
in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent
the wire from passing through the splice (3).
10. Close the handles of the J 38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until the proper
amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.

IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with 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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Power Take-Off: Description and Operation
POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The PTO is an Upfitter integrated system that allows the user to create an auxiliary power source
that will drive either a hydraulic pump or a generator. When the operator requests PTO the PTO
switch will be turned ON and the engine RPM will go to a default standby speed. The operator will
then press and release the PTO switch to SET and the PTO solenoid will engage. Turning the PTO
switch to OFF or pressing the brake pedal will turn the PTO off.
The PTO system is integrated with the Cruise Control system and Computers and Control
Systems. The PTO system utilizes the following parts:
- PTO Switch
- Cruise Control Multi-Function Switch
- PTO Relay
- PTO Solenoid
- PCM with 8.1L gasoline only
- ECM with 6.6L diesel only
- TAC Module with 8.1L gasoline only
- TAC Motor with 8.1L gasoline only
Voltage will be supplied at all times through the Fog Lamp fuse to the secondary side of the PTO
Relay. When the operator turns the ignition switch to RUN, voltage will be supplied through the
Cruise fuse to the open PTO switch.
When the PTO switch is turned ON voltage will be present through the primary side of the PTO
Relay and at the PCM. If the PCM sees all of the requirements for PTO engagement the PCM will
send a Class 2 signal to the TAC Module. The TAC Module will use the TAC Motor to increase the
engine RPM to the standby speed. When the PTO switch is turned to the SET position and
released the PCM will ground the primary side of the PTO Relay. Current will flow through the coil
in the PTO Relay and close the normally open contacts. This will allow current to flow to the PTO
Solenoid and eventually to ground.
In the event that any of the PTO requirements are no longer met then the PCM or TAC will return
the engine RPM to idle and turn the PTO Solenoid off.
MODES OF OPERATION
PTO - Preset Mode (Factory Default Setting)
The PTO preset mode is used for stationary applications. PTO will remain engaged while mobile in
the preset mode however PTO Preset 1 and PTO Preset 2 speed controls will be inoperative. The
engine RPM will also return to normal. This mode provides a default standby speed of 800 or 850
RPM depending on the engine and transmission combination. This mode also provides 2 default
PTO control speeds: PTO Preset 1 of 1250 RPM and PTO Preset 2 of 1700 RPM. Please note that
the standby speed is not to be used as a PTO control speed. Vehicles not equipped with cruise
control will not have the resume speed capability.

PTO Preset Mode Function Chart
PTO Preset Mode Function Chart
PTO - Variable Mode
The PTO speed control mode is used for both stationary and mobile applications. This mode allows
PTO to be controlled in a fashion similar to cruise control. The operator is able to hold an engine
RPM between 800 and 2200 with the SET switch on the cruise stock or the PTO switch. The
operator can "tap up" to increase engine speed in 100 RPM increments with the RESUME switch.
The operator may also "tap down" to decrease engine speed with either SET switch on the cruise
control multifunction switch or the PTO switch. Vehicles not equipped with cruise control will not
have the "tap up" capability.

PTO - Variable Mode Function Chart
PTO COMPONENTS
PTO Switch The PTO Switch is mounted in the center of the Instrument Panel. The PTO Switch
has three positions: OFF, ON and SET. When the PTO switch is in ON voltage will be present on
the PTO On Switch Signal circuit at the relay and the PCM. When the switch is held to the SET
position, voltage will be present on the PTO Engage Signal circuit at the PCM. The PTO indicator
light is integral with the switch and will illuminate when the switch is turned ON. The presence of
the indicator being on does not mean that the PTO Solenoid is engaged. The Cruise Control
Multi-Function Switch may be used in conjunction with the PTO Switch. Illumination of the switch is
provided through the dimming circuit and controlled in part by internal switch logic.
Cruise Control Multi-Function Switch The operation of the PTO system may be through the function
control switches located on the multifunction turn signal lever. The cruise control function control
switches includes the ON/OFF, SET/COAST, and R/A. The switch assembly provides driver control
of the PTO as well as the cruise control system. The SET/COAST and R/A switches may be used
to increase and decrease engine RPM in increments of 100 RPM. See the chart below for
recommended speeds.
PTO Relay The PTO Relay is located on the side of the underhood fuse block. The secondary side
of the relay is supplied with voltage at all times through the Fog Lamp fuse. The PTO switch
controls the voltage to the primary side of the PTO relay while the PCM controls the ground.
PTO Solenoid The solenoid is an upfitter supplied part and is replaceable on most PTOs. The PTO
solenoid is used on clutch activated PTOs. The PTO relay supplies the solenoid with voltage when
the relay is energized.
PCM The powertrain control module (PCM) is the control center of the PTO system. Applications
with a 6.6L diesel use an ECM. The PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. To
engage the PTO, the PCM must see the following conditions: PTO switch is ON
- Engine must be running
- Transmission must be in PARK or NEUTRAL
- Park Brake must be set for manual transmission only
- Vehicle speed must be zero in Preset Mode only
- Brake or Clutch must not be depressed
The PCM constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls
the systems that affect vehicle performance. The PCM also performs a diagnostic test on the
Electronic Throttle Control system.
TAC Module The TAC module is the control center for the electronic throttle system. The TAC
module and the PCM communicate through a dedicated redundant serial data circuit. The TAC
module and the PCM monitor the commanded throttle position and compare the commanded
position to the actual throttle position. This is accomplished by monitoring the APP and the throttle
position (TP) sensor. These 2 values must be within a calibrated value of each other or a DTC may
be set. The TAC module also monitors each individual circuit of the TP sensor and the APP to
verify proper operation. The TAC

module commands the TAC motor to increase or decrease the engine RPM.
TAC Motor The TAC motor is part of the throttle body and controls the positions of the throttle. The
motor is bi-directional and is controlled by the TAC module. The TAC motor increases or decreases
the engine RPM.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the Power Take-Off (PTO) switch is turned to the ON position and all PTO engage
conditions are met, the engine RPM should increase to the standby speed. When the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) receives the signal from the PTO switch the PCM will send a signal to the
Throttle Actuator Control Module (TAC). The TAC module controls the TAC motor which changes
the position of the throttle. Communications between the two modules is monitored and checked
for accuracy by the PCM. DTCs may be recorded in the event of the failure. The 6.6L diesel engine
does not have a TAC system and the engine RPM is strictly controlled by the ECM and the Fuel
Injection Control Module.

POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) DOES NOT ENGAGE
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This symptom table aids in the diagnosis of a failed power take-off (PTO) solenoid engagement.
This diagnostic does not expose a mechanical condition with the PTO itself. Voltage is supplied at
all times through the cruise fuse to the secondary side of the relay. When the relay is energized,
the contacts close and current is allowed to flow to the PTO solenoid. The solenoid has its own
external ground. When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, voltage is present at the PTO
switch. When the PTO switch is in the ON position, voltage is present at the coil of the relay and at
the PCM. If the PCM sees all of the conditions necessary to engage the solenoid, the PCM
grounds the primary circuit of the relay.

bulletin cancels and supersedes Bulletin Number 03-04-21-006. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Numbers 02-04-21-006D and 03-04-21-006 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the 4WD/AWD indicator lights on the selector switch do not
work, or the 4WD/AWD system may be inoperative and/or the service 4WD light is illuminated. The
condition is typically intermittent and always occurs at key-up. Upon investigation, the technician
may find DTC C0550 set.
Cause
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) has not received the wake-up call during key-up and
has remained in the "sleep mode".
When the TCCM is in the "sleep mode", it will not communicate with the class II bus or the Tech
2(R).
Correction
1. Try to communicate with the TCCM. If no communication, go to step 2. If communication is
possible, go to step 5.
2. Remove the underhood (ATCM or TREC) TCCM fuse.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Reinstall the fuse. The module should wake up and communicate with the Tech 2(R).
5. Check for codes in the TCCM. If a C0550 is found current or in history with or without other
codes, replace the module and go to step 6.
6. Reprogram the TCCM with the latest TIS software using normal SPS procedures.
7. Verify operation and that no codes are present.
Important:
For the 2002 model year, the TCCM must be replaced and reprogrammed.

INFORMATION
Subject: Guidelines for Replacement of Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)
Models: 2005 and Prior Light Duty Trucks
with New Venture Gear (NVG) Transfer Case (RPOs NP1, NP4, NP8)
Dealers are replacing the TCCM unnecessarily.
Dealers are replacing the TCCM with codes stored in HISTORY only. The TCCM does not have a
current fault condition when tested.
Parts reviewed at the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) have a 75% No Trouble Found (NTF) rate.
The only two legitimate reasons to replace the TCCM are:
^ Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C0550
^ NO Communication with a scan tool.
DTC C0550
This DTC indicates that the module has an internal fault and should be replaced.
No Communication
^ The no communication conditions referenced here are also caused by a module internal fault to a
point where the module physically will not talk. A technician cannot pull DTCs from the module
because it will not communicate. The module is electrically dead.
^ No communication is not to be confused with a U1026 code. This code tells the technician that
the module may still be functioning but is temporarily off line. This code may be set by the
Instrument Panel (IP) or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) against the TCCM. The technician
needs to figure out why the module went off line. These are typically caused by connection
concerns. There is no need to replace a TCCM for a U1026 DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
^ When diagnosing a transfer case electrical control system, ALWAYS check power and ground
wiring first.
^ Test the connections for intermittent or poor connections, complete plug insertion, bent pins,
pushed out terminals and water contamination.

Replacement > Page 7837
Pay particular attention to the terminal connections at the module. Spread or open terminal
connections may create an intermittent contact. Do a pin drag test. Refer to the terminal testing
information in the table shown.
^ After repairs are complete, ALWAYS clear DTCs from the module prior to a system function test.
If codes are not cleared first, the system will not function after repair. The technician may
erroneously think that the system is still down and that further repairs are needed.
Warranty
Dealers who unnecessarily replace the TCCM that are found to have No Trouble Found (NTF) at
the WPC will be returned to the AVM (Area Service Manager), or the DSM (District Service
Manager) in Canada, through the Regional Feedback Process and may be charged back for the
repair through the WINS system.

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Instructions > Page 7877
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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

Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 7879
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 7880
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 7881
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 7882
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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: 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
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.

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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.

3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

Micro-Pack 100W Connectors
MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

Instructions > Page 7892
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 7893
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.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
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. Insure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 7894
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 7895
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs
SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 7898
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection 4L60/4L60-E/4L65-E Transmission
Tow/Haul Switch/Indicator Always On or Inoperative
Circuit Description
Tow/haul mode enables the operator to achieve enhanced shift performance when towing or
hauling a load. When tow/haul mode is selected, the tow/haul switch input signal to the body
control module (BCM) is momentarily toggled to zero volts. This signals the powertrain control
module (PCM) to extend the length of time between upshifts and increase transmission line
pressure. Cycling the tow/haul switch again disables tow/haul mode and returns the transmission to
a normal shift pattern.
Diagnostic Aids
If the electrical circuit tests are OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a
mechanical/hydraulic condition that prevents tow/haul operation. Refer to Symptoms - Automatic
Transmission.

This bulletin is being revised to add model years and additional model information and add
graphics. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-011B (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

Engagement/Engine No Start > Page 7935
Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

^ "7" (shifter should be in the Reverse position)
^ "5" (shifter should be in the Drive position)
^ "3" (shifter should be in the Third gear position)

^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

9. Remove and discard the neutral assurance bracket.
Important:
Installation of the front shield and rear shields are important. Without proper installation of the
shield, a return repair is probable. Follow all directions as listed on the installation instructions
sheet included in the Switch kit, P/N 29540479.
10. Fit the new shield onto the PNP switch so that it fits securely against the switch. Make sure this
is done before reinstalling the shift lever.
11. Reinstall the shift lever. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, install the nut on
the end of the selector shaft.
Tighten.
Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 lb ft).
12. Connect the wiring harness connectors to the PNP switch.
13. Attach the selector cable to the lever. Check and adjust if needed.
14. Go back to step 4 of the Diagnostics and insure the Tech 2 readings match the shift lever
positions.
Important:
Clear all DTCs before returning the vehicle to the customer.
15. Return the vehicle to the customer.

A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

Important:
Installation of the front shield and rear shields are important. Without proper installation of the
shield, a return repair is probable. Follow all directions as listed on the installation instructions
sheet included in the Switch kit, P/N 29540479.
10. Fit the new shield onto the PNP switch so that it fits securely against the switch. Make sure this
is done before reinstalling the shift lever.
11. Reinstall the shift lever. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, install the nut on
the end of the selector shaft.
Tighten.
Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 lb ft).
12. Connect the wiring harness connectors to the PNP switch.
13. Attach the selector cable to the lever. Check and adjust if needed.
14. Go back to step 4 of the Diagnostics and insure the Tech 2 readings match the shift lever
positions.

This bulletin is being revised to update the Model and Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 05-04-21-003B (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on intermittent illumination of the Service 4WD light. Upon
investigation, the technician may find DTC C0374 set. The customer may also comment on
intermittent erratic operation of the 4WD or AWD system after driving through rain/snow or simply
going through a car wash.
Cause
The speed sensor signal may have become corrupted. Possible openings in the speed sensor wire
insulation (twisted pairs) can allow water intrusion. Also wire connections contaminated by water
may result in short circuits and erroneous speed sensor readings. This most often occurs on the
rear speed sensor circuit.
Correction
Inspect the wiring harness to the transfer case speed sensors. On Rainier, TrailBlazer, Envoy and
9-7X models, fabricate a replacement speed sensor harness between the C101 connector and the
speed sensors. Completely inspect and test all wiring. Refer to Speed Signal Front Axle Actuator
and Indicators schematic in SI.
Replace the affected twisted pairs. Do not over-twist the two wires in the replacement harness.
Wires should be twisted at a rate of 9 revolutions per foot. Use service connector pack, P/N
88987993 at the speed sensor end and terminal, P/N 15326267, at C101.
Terminal testing tools and service terminals can be found in Terminal Repair Kit J 38125.
Terminals are available from SPX/Kent-Moore.
The smaller transfer case harness splices into the larger chassis harness a few inches in front of
the crossmember. The chassis harness routes along the left side of the frame under the driver door
area. Use nylon tie straps to secure the fabricated harness to the main chassis harness between
the transfer case and C101.
On the full-size pickup and full-size utility models, replace the 2.2 m (88 in) pigtail harness that runs
from the C151 connector under the hood to the transfer case. Use either harness P/N 15832722 or
15224663 depending on vehicle equipment. Refer to Propshaft Speed Sensors Front Axle Actuator
and Transfer Case Shift Control Switch schematic in SI.
Important:
Technicians should verify the integrity of the splice joints after the repair. All splice joints and
connections should seal properly against water or a repeat condition can occur.

with Four-Wheel Drive or All-Wheel Drive
Technicians may find that when the transfer case speed sensor wire harness connector is
removed, the connector lock flexes/bends and does not return to the original position. The transfer
case speed sensor wire harness connector then has no locking device. On older vehicles, the
plastic connector retainer becomes brittle and the clip may break as soon as it is flexed. In the past,
the only service fix was to install a wire harness connector service pack, P/N 88987183. This repair
procedure involved splicing a new service connector with an integral connector lock. This
connector service kit is of the same design and was still prone to failure over time.
A new connector service repair kit is now available, P/N 15306187, that is an updated design. This
new kit should be used whenever the speed sensor wire harness connector requires replacement.

Subject: Poor A/C Performance - A/C Will Not Blow Cold Enough (Perform A/C System Checks,
Replace Accumulator if Necessary)
Models: 2002-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2002-2004 GMC Sierra with 6.6L Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add part numbers for the hose, bracket and insulator to the Parts
Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-01-38-007B (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on less than desirable A/C performance, especially when the
ambient temperature is above 32°C (90°F).
Correction
Perform the following A/C system checks and replace the accumulator with P/N 89018601, if
necessary. This new accumulator requires the accumulator bracket, the accumulator insulator and
the A/C suction hose to be replaced also.
^ Check for A/C system leaks.
^ Check the A/C system for proper refrigerant charge. This requires recovering the refrigerant to
determine charge in system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging in the HVAC
sub-section of the Service Manual.
^ If no leaks were found and the A/C system is charged to specification, replace the accumulator
using the procedure listed below.
If normal diagnostics do not lead to a correction, then perform the following A/C system checks.
1. Re-calibrate the actuators.
2. Inspect the lower A/C condenser deflector for proper installation. The deflector should be
positioned at the lower part of the condenser and extend forward into the top of the front bumper
and below the two fresh air intake holes.
3. Check the engine cooling fan clutch for proper operation.
4. If the vehicle is equipped with a front license plate, inspect for proper installation. If the license
plate bracket is installed upside down, it will block part of the two fresh air intake holes in the
bumper. When the license plate bracket is installed correctly, the writing on the back of the bracket
will be upside down.
Inspect for material between the radiator and condenser. Remove the top plate to confirm that
there is no restriction. A radiator front filled with material will decrease condenser performance.
5. Some improvements have been found by lowering the A/C charge from 0.82 kg (1.8 lbs) to 0.73
kg (1.6 lbs).
6. Check the low pressure cycling switch for proper operation. The low pressure switch opens at
172-234 kPa (25-34 psi) which stops compressor operation and closes when the low side pressure
reaches 276-310 kPa (40-45 psi). This enables the compressor to turn back on.
Important:
Compressor clutch engagement cannot be used to determine the status of the low pressure switch.
The low pressure switch is one of several inputs to the HVAC control module for A/C request
authorization. A/C request is one of several inputs to the powertrain control module (PCM) that
control A/C compressor clutch engagement.

Numbers 02-04-21-006D and 03-04-21-006 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the 4WD/AWD indicator lights on the selector switch do not
work, or the 4WD/AWD system may be inoperative and/or the service 4WD light is illuminated. The
condition is typically intermittent and always occurs at key-up. Upon investigation, the technician
may find DTC C0550 set.
Cause
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) has not received the wake-up call during key-up and
has remained in the "sleep mode".
When the TCCM is in the "sleep mode", it will not communicate with the class II bus or the Tech
2(R).
Correction
1. Try to communicate with the TCCM. If no communication, go to step 2. If communication is
possible, go to step 5.
2. Remove the underhood (ATCM or TREC) TCCM fuse.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Reinstall the fuse. The module should wake up and communicate with the Tech 2(R).
5. Check for codes in the TCCM. If a C0550 is found current or in history with or without other
codes, replace the module and go to step 6.
6. Reprogram the TCCM with the latest TIS software using normal SPS procedures.
7. Verify operation and that no codes are present.
Important:
For the 2002 model year, the TCCM must be replaced and reprogrammed.

INFORMATION
Subject: Guidelines for Replacement of Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)
Models: 2005 and Prior Light Duty Trucks
with New Venture Gear (NVG) Transfer Case (RPOs NP1, NP4, NP8)
Dealers are replacing the TCCM unnecessarily.
Dealers are replacing the TCCM with codes stored in HISTORY only. The TCCM does not have a
current fault condition when tested.
Parts reviewed at the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) have a 75% No Trouble Found (NTF) rate.
The only two legitimate reasons to replace the TCCM are:
^ Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C0550
^ NO Communication with a scan tool.
DTC C0550
This DTC indicates that the module has an internal fault and should be replaced.
No Communication
^ The no communication conditions referenced here are also caused by a module internal fault to a
point where the module physically will not talk. A technician cannot pull DTCs from the module
because it will not communicate. The module is electrically dead.
^ No communication is not to be confused with a U1026 code. This code tells the technician that
the module may still be functioning but is temporarily off line. This code may be set by the
Instrument Panel (IP) or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) against the TCCM. The technician
needs to figure out why the module went off line. These are typically caused by connection
concerns. There is no need to replace a TCCM for a U1026 DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
^ When diagnosing a transfer case electrical control system, ALWAYS check power and ground
wiring first.
^ Test the connections for intermittent or poor connections, complete plug insertion, bent pins,
pushed out terminals and water contamination.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 05-04-21-002 > Mar > 05 >
Drivetrain - Transfer Case Control Module Replacement > Page 8099
Pay particular attention to the terminal connections at the module. Spread or open terminal
connections may create an intermittent contact. Do a pin drag test. Refer to the terminal testing
information in the table shown.
^ After repairs are complete, ALWAYS clear DTCs from the module prior to a system function test.
If codes are not cleared first, the system will not function after repair. The technician may
erroneously think that the system is still down and that further repairs are needed.
Warranty
Dealers who unnecessarily replace the TCCM that are found to have No Trouble Found (NTF) at
the WPC will be returned to the AVM (Area Service Manager), or the DSM (District Service
Manager) in Canada, through the Regional Feedback Process and may be charged back for the
repair through the WINS system.

Cause
This condition may be caused by a loose connection at the display monitor cable connectors.
These connectors are located at the lower rear part of both front seats. Two cables are routed to
the display monitor in each seat.
Correction
A number of headrest monitors have been replaced under warranty and in many cases, no trouble
was found by the supplier when these units were

Correction
Replace the rear drive shaft slip yoke with a new nickel-plated slip yoke. See the parts table below.
Follow the service procedure below.
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. Reference mark the propeller shaft to the pinion flange connection.
Important:
Do not pound on the propeller shaft yoke ears. Never pry or place any tool between a yoke and a
universal joint.
3. Remove the bolts and the yoke retainers from the pinion flange.
4. Slide the propeller shaft forward and out of the rear pinion flange.
5. Lower the rear of the propeller shaft and pull the driveshaft out of the transfer case.
Note:
Never clamp propeller shaft tubing in a vise. Clamping could dent or deform the tube causing an
imbalance or unsafe condition. Always clamp on one of the yokes and support the shaft
horizontally. Avoid damaging the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may damage the bushing or cut
the lip seal.
6. Support the propeller shaft in a line horizontal with the table of a press.
Important:
Remove the front slip yoke and the universal joint together. The new nickel-plated slip yoke comes
with a new universal joint.
7. Disassemble the snap rings by pinching the ends together with a pair of pliers.
8. If the ring does not readily snap out of the groove in the yoke, tap the end of the cup lightly in
order to relieve the pressure from the ring.
9. Place the universal joint so that the lower ear of the yoke is supported on a 30 mm (1-1/8 in) hex
head socket or a 27 mm (1-1/16 in) socket.

10. Place the J 9522-3 on the open horizontal bearing cups. Press the lower bearing cup out of the
yoke ear.
11. If you do not completely remove the bearing cup, lift the cross and insert the J 9522-5 between
the seal and the bearing cup you are removing. Continue pressing the bearing cup out of the yoke.
12. Rotate the propeller shaft. Press the opposite bearing cup out of the drive shaft yoke.
13. Remove the old slip yoke and universal joint.
14. Inspect the retaining ring grooves for dirt, corrosion, or pieces of the old ring.
15. Inspect the bearing cup bores for burrs or imperfections.
16. Clean the retaining ring grooves. Corrosion, dirt, rust, or pieces of the old retaining ring may
prevent the bearing cups from pressing into place or prevent the bearing retainers from properly
seating.
17. Install the new nickel-plated slip yoke and universal joint. See parts table below for parts
information.
18. Remove the bearing cups from the universal joint.
19. Assemble one bearing cup part way into one side of the yoke. Turn the yoke ear toward the
bottom.
20. Assemble the cross into the yoke so that the trunnion seats freely into the bearing cup.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 01-04-17-004B > Jan > 05 > Driveline Bump/Clunk/Squawking Noises > Page 8170
21. With the trunnion seated in the bearing cup, press the bearing cup into the yoke until the
bearing cup is flush with the yoke ear.
22. Install the opposite bearing cup part way into the yoke ear.
23. Ensure that the trunnions start straight and true into both bearing cups.
24. Press the opposite bearing cup into the yoke ear while working the cross all the time in order to
inspect for free unbinding movement of the trunnions in the bearing cups.
Important:
If there seems to be a hang up or binding, stop pressing. Inspect the needle bearings for
misalignment in the bearing cup.
25. Press the bearing cup into the yoke until the bearing cup retainer groove is visible over the top
of the bearing cup.
26. Assemble the bearing retainer in the retainer groove.
27. Continue pressing until both retainers can be snapped into place.
28. If the retainer is difficult to seat, the yoke can be sprung slightly with a firm blow from a
soft-faced dead blow hammer.
29. It may be necessary to lubricate the snap ring with a slight amount of chassis grease so that
the snap ring seats in the bearing cup groove.
30. Install the slip yoke onto the output shaft in the transfer case.
31. Align the reference marks on the pinion flange and the propeller shaft.
32. Install the yoke retainers and bolts.

Subject: Clunk, Bump or Squawk when Vehicle Comes to Complete Stop or Accelerating from
Complete Stop (Replace Rear Drive Shaft Nickel-Plated Slip Yoke)
Models
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add Cadillac Escalade (Old Style) to the Models section. Please
discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-04-17-004A (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a clunk, bump or squawk noise when the vehicle comes to a
stop or when accelerating from a complete stop.
Cause
A slip/stick condition between the transfer case output shaft and the driveshaft slip yoke may cause
this condition.
Diagnostic Tips
There are several resources in the electronic Service Information System which can provide the
technician with information on diagnosis and repair of clunk conditions, and fix the customer's
vehicle right the first time without unnecessary parts replacement. Some of the documents
available in SI include:

Correction
Replace the rear drive shaft slip yoke with a new nickel-plated slip yoke. See the parts table below.
Follow the service procedure below.
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. Reference mark the propeller shaft to the pinion flange connection.
Important:
Do not pound on the propeller shaft yoke ears. Never pry or place any tool between a yoke and a
universal joint.
3. Remove the bolts and the yoke retainers from the pinion flange.
4. Slide the propeller shaft forward and out of the rear pinion flange.
5. Lower the rear of the propeller shaft and pull the driveshaft out of the transfer case.
Note:
Never clamp propeller shaft tubing in a vise. Clamping could dent or deform the tube causing an
imbalance or unsafe condition. Always clamp on one of the yokes and support the shaft
horizontally. Avoid damaging the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may damage the bushing or cut
the lip seal.
6. Support the propeller shaft in a line horizontal with the table of a press.
Important:
Remove the front slip yoke and the universal joint together. The new nickel-plated slip yoke comes
with a new universal joint.
7. Disassemble the snap rings by pinching the ends together with a pair of pliers.
8. If the ring does not readily snap out of the groove in the yoke, tap the end of the cup lightly in
order to relieve the pressure from the ring.
9. Place the universal joint so that the lower ear of the yoke is supported on a 30 mm (1-1/8 in) hex
head socket or a 27 mm (1-1/16 in) socket.

10. Place the J 9522-3 on the open horizontal bearing cups. Press the lower bearing cup out of the
yoke ear.
11. If you do not completely remove the bearing cup, lift the cross and insert the J 9522-5 between
the seal and the bearing cup you are removing. Continue pressing the bearing cup out of the yoke.
12. Rotate the propeller shaft. Press the opposite bearing cup out of the drive shaft yoke.
13. Remove the old slip yoke and universal joint.
14. Inspect the retaining ring grooves for dirt, corrosion, or pieces of the old ring.
15. Inspect the bearing cup bores for burrs or imperfections.
16. Clean the retaining ring grooves. Corrosion, dirt, rust, or pieces of the old retaining ring may
prevent the bearing cups from pressing into place or prevent the bearing retainers from properly
seating.
17. Install the new nickel-plated slip yoke and universal joint. See parts table below for parts
information.
18. Remove the bearing cups from the universal joint.
19. Assemble one bearing cup part way into one side of the yoke. Turn the yoke ear toward the
bottom.
20. Assemble the cross into the yoke so that the trunnion seats freely into the bearing cup.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 01-04-17-004B > Jan > 05 > Driveline Bump/Clunk/Squawking Noises > Page 8185
21. With the trunnion seated in the bearing cup, press the bearing cup into the yoke until the
bearing cup is flush with the yoke ear.
22. Install the opposite bearing cup part way into the yoke ear.
23. Ensure that the trunnions start straight and true into both bearing cups.
24. Press the opposite bearing cup into the yoke ear while working the cross all the time in order to
inspect for free unbinding movement of the trunnions in the bearing cups.
Important:
If there seems to be a hang up or binding, stop pressing. Inspect the needle bearings for
misalignment in the bearing cup.
25. Press the bearing cup into the yoke until the bearing cup retainer groove is visible over the top
of the bearing cup.
26. Assemble the bearing retainer in the retainer groove.
27. Continue pressing until both retainers can be snapped into place.
28. If the retainer is difficult to seat, the yoke can be sprung slightly with a firm blow from a
soft-faced dead blow hammer.
29. It may be necessary to lubricate the snap ring with a slight amount of chassis grease so that
the snap ring seats in the bearing cup groove.
30. Install the slip yoke onto the output shaft in the transfer case.
31. Align the reference marks on the pinion flange and the propeller shaft.
32. Install the yoke retainers and bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the yoke retainer bolts to 25 N.m (19 lb ft).
33. Lower the vehicle.

Cause
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) has not received the wake-up call during key-up and
has remained in the "sleep mode".
When the TCCM is in the "sleep mode", it will not communicate with the class II bus or the Tech
2(R).
Correction
1. Try to communicate with the TCCM. If no communication, go to step 2. If communication is
possible, go to step 5.
2. Remove the underhood (ATCM or TREC) TCCM fuse.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Reinstall the fuse. The module should wake up and communicate with the Tech 2(R).
5. Check for codes in the TCCM. If a C0550 is found current or in history with or without other
codes, replace the module and go to step 6.
6. Reprogram the TCCM with the latest TIS software using normal SPS procedures.
7. Verify operation and that no codes are present.
Important:
For the 2002 model year, the TCCM must be replaced and reprogrammed.

INFORMATION
Subject: Guidelines for Replacement of Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)
Models: 2005 and Prior Light Duty Trucks
with New Venture Gear (NVG) Transfer Case (RPOs NP1, NP4, NP8)
Dealers are replacing the TCCM unnecessarily.
Dealers are replacing the TCCM with codes stored in HISTORY only. The TCCM does not have a
current fault condition when tested.
Parts reviewed at the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) have a 75% No Trouble Found (NTF) rate.
The only two legitimate reasons to replace the TCCM are:
^ Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C0550
^ NO Communication with a scan tool.
DTC C0550
This DTC indicates that the module has an internal fault and should be replaced.
No Communication
^ The no communication conditions referenced here are also caused by a module internal fault to a
point where the module physically will not talk. A technician cannot pull DTCs from the module
because it will not communicate. The module is electrically dead.
^ No communication is not to be confused with a U1026 code. This code tells the technician that
the module may still be functioning but is temporarily off line. This code may be set by the
Instrument Panel (IP) or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) against the TCCM. The technician
needs to figure out why the module went off line. These are typically caused by connection
concerns. There is no need to replace a TCCM for a U1026 DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
^ When diagnosing a transfer case electrical control system, ALWAYS check power and ground
wiring first.
^ Test the connections for intermittent or poor connections, complete plug insertion, bent pins,
pushed out terminals and water contamination.

Control Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: >
05-04-21-002 > Mar > 05 > Drivetrain - Transfer Case Control Module Replacement > Page 8227
Pay particular attention to the terminal connections at the module. Spread or open terminal
connections may create an intermittent contact. Do a pin drag test. Refer to the terminal testing
information in the table shown.
^ After repairs are complete, ALWAYS clear DTCs from the module prior to a system function test.
If codes are not cleared first, the system will not function after repair. The technician may
erroneously think that the system is still down and that further repairs are needed.
Warranty
Dealers who unnecessarily replace the TCCM that are found to have No Trouble Found (NTF) at
the WPC will be returned to the AVM (Area Service Manager), or the DSM (District Service
Manager) in Canada, through the Regional Feedback Process and may be charged back for the
repair through the WINS system.

Power Steering Pump: All Technical Service Bulletins Recall 04V045000: Possible Hydro-Boost
Defect
DEFECT: Certain sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and passenger vans fail to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Passenger Car Brake Systems."
Some of these vehicles were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief
valve bore. Consequently, the valve O-ring seal may fracture. Steering efforts may be slightly
increased while braking or parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal may also
require an increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same vehicle deceleration.
REMEDY: Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. The manufacturer has reported that
owner notification is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2004. Owners may contact
Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339; Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; GMC at 1-866-996-9463; or Hummer at
1-866-486-6376.

This bulletin is being revised to update the Model and Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 05-04-21-003B (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on intermittent illumination of the Service 4WD light. Upon
investigation, the technician may find DTC C0374 set. The customer may also comment on
intermittent erratic operation of the 4WD or AWD system after driving through rain/snow or simply
going through a car wash.
Cause
The speed sensor signal may have become corrupted. Possible openings in the speed sensor wire
insulation (twisted pairs) can allow water intrusion. Also wire connections contaminated by water
may result in short circuits and erroneous speed sensor readings. This most often occurs on the
rear speed sensor circuit.
Correction
Inspect the wiring harness to the transfer case speed sensors. On Rainier, TrailBlazer, Envoy and
9-7X models, fabricate a replacement speed sensor harness between the C101 connector and the
speed sensors. Completely inspect and test all wiring. Refer to Speed Signal Front Axle Actuator
and Indicators schematic in SI.
Replace the affected twisted pairs. Do not over-twist the two wires in the replacement harness.
Wires should be twisted at a rate of 9 revolutions per foot. Use service connector pack, P/N
88987993 at the speed sensor end and terminal, P/N 15326267, at C101.
Terminal testing tools and service terminals can be found in Terminal Repair Kit J 38125.
Terminals are available from SPX/Kent-Moore.
The smaller transfer case harness splices into the larger chassis harness a few inches in front of
the crossmember. The chassis harness routes along the left side of the frame under the driver door
area. Use nylon tie straps to secure the fabricated harness to the main chassis harness between
the transfer case and C101.
On the full-size pickup and full-size utility models, replace the 2.2 m (88 in) pigtail harness that runs
from the C151 connector under the hood to the transfer case. Use either harness P/N 15832722 or
15224663 depending on vehicle equipment. Refer to Propshaft Speed Sensors Front Axle Actuator
and Transfer Case Shift Control Switch schematic in SI.
Important:
Technicians should verify the integrity of the splice joints after the repair. All splice joints and
connections should seal properly against water or a repeat condition can occur.

Technicians may find that when the transfer case speed sensor wire harness connector is
removed, the connector lock flexes/bends and does not return to the original position. The transfer
case speed sensor wire harness connector then has no locking device. On older vehicles, the
plastic connector retainer becomes brittle and the clip may break as soon as it is flexed. In the past,
the only service fix was to install a wire harness connector service pack, P/N 88987183. This repair
procedure involved splicing a new service connector with an integral connector lock. This
connector service kit is of the same design and was still prone to failure over time.
A new connector service repair kit is now available, P/N 15306187, that is an updated design. This
new kit should be used whenever the speed sensor wire harness connector requires replacement.

Correction
Replace the rear drive shaft slip yoke with a new nickel-plated slip yoke. See the parts table below.
Follow the service procedure below.
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. Reference mark the propeller shaft to the pinion flange connection.
Important:
Do not pound on the propeller shaft yoke ears. Never pry or place any tool between a yoke and a
universal joint.
3. Remove the bolts and the yoke retainers from the pinion flange.
4. Slide the propeller shaft forward and out of the rear pinion flange.
5. Lower the rear of the propeller shaft and pull the driveshaft out of the transfer case.
Note:
Never clamp propeller shaft tubing in a vise. Clamping could dent or deform the tube causing an
imbalance or unsafe condition. Always clamp on one of the yokes and support the shaft
horizontally. Avoid damaging the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may damage the bushing or cut
the lip seal.
6. Support the propeller shaft in a line horizontal with the table of a press.
Important:
Remove the front slip yoke and the universal joint together. The new nickel-plated slip yoke comes
with a new universal joint.
7. Disassemble the snap rings by pinching the ends together with a pair of pliers.
8. If the ring does not readily snap out of the groove in the yoke, tap the end of the cup lightly in
order to relieve the pressure from the ring.
9. Place the universal joint so that the lower ear of the yoke is supported on a 30 mm (1-1/8 in) hex
head socket or a 27 mm (1-1/16 in) socket.

7. Disassemble the snap rings by pinching the ends together with a pair of pliers.
8. If the ring does not readily snap out of the groove in the yoke, tap the end of the cup lightly in
order to relieve the pressure from the ring.
9. Place the universal joint so that the lower ear of the yoke is supported on a 30 mm (1-1/8 in) hex
head socket or a 27 mm (1-1/16 in) socket.

10. Place the J 9522-3 on the open horizontal bearing cups. Press the lower bearing cup out of the
yoke ear.
11. If you do not completely remove the bearing cup, lift the cross and insert the J 9522-5 between
the seal and the bearing cup you are removing. Continue pressing the bearing cup out of the yoke.
12. Rotate the propeller shaft. Press the opposite bearing cup out of the drive shaft yoke.
13. Remove the old slip yoke and universal joint.
14. Inspect the retaining ring grooves for dirt, corrosion, or pieces of the old ring.
15. Inspect the bearing cup bores for burrs or imperfections.
16. Clean the retaining ring grooves. Corrosion, dirt, rust, or pieces of the old retaining ring may
prevent the bearing cups from pressing into place or prevent the bearing retainers from properly
seating.
17. Install the new nickel-plated slip yoke and universal joint. See parts table below for parts
information.
18. Remove the bearing cups from the universal joint.
19. Assemble one bearing cup part way into one side of the yoke. Turn the yoke ear toward the
bottom.
20. Assemble the cross into the yoke so that the trunnion seats freely into the bearing cup.

This bulletin is being revised to update the Model and Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 05-04-21-003B (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on intermittent illumination of the Service 4WD light. Upon
investigation, the technician may find DTC C0374 set. The customer may also comment on
intermittent erratic operation of the 4WD or AWD system after driving through rain/snow or simply
going through a car wash.
Cause
The speed sensor signal may have become corrupted. Possible openings in the speed sensor wire
insulation (twisted pairs) can allow water intrusion. Also wire connections contaminated by water
may result in short circuits and erroneous speed sensor readings. This most often occurs on the
rear speed sensor circuit.
Correction
Inspect the wiring harness to the transfer case speed sensors. On Rainier, TrailBlazer, Envoy and
9-7X models, fabricate a replacement speed sensor harness between the C101 connector and the
speed sensors. Completely inspect and test all wiring. Refer to Speed Signal Front Axle Actuator
and Indicators schematic in SI.
Replace the affected twisted pairs. Do not over-twist the two wires in the replacement harness.
Wires should be twisted at a rate of 9 revolutions per foot. Use service connector pack, P/N
88987993 at the speed sensor end and terminal, P/N 15326267, at C101.
Terminal testing tools and service terminals can be found in Terminal Repair Kit J 38125.
Terminals are available from SPX/Kent-Moore.
The smaller transfer case harness splices into the larger chassis harness a few inches in front of
the crossmember. The chassis harness routes along the left side of the frame under the driver door
area. Use nylon tie straps to secure the fabricated harness to the main chassis harness between
the transfer case and C101.
On the full-size pickup and full-size utility models, replace the 2.2 m (88 in) pigtail harness that runs
from the C151 connector under the hood to the transfer case. Use either harness P/N 15832722 or
15224663 depending on vehicle equipment. Refer to Propshaft Speed Sensors Front Axle Actuator
and Transfer Case Shift Control Switch schematic in SI.
Important:
Technicians should verify the integrity of the splice joints after the repair. All splice joints and
connections should seal properly against water or a repeat condition can occur.

Technicians may find that when the transfer case speed sensor wire harness connector is
removed, the connector lock flexes/bends and does not return to the original position. The transfer
case speed sensor wire harness connector then has no locking device. On older vehicles, the
plastic connector retainer becomes brittle and the clip may break as soon as it is flexed. In the past,
the only service fix was to install a wire harness connector service pack, P/N 88987183. This repair
procedure involved splicing a new service connector with an integral connector lock. This
connector service kit is of the same design and was still prone to failure over time.
A new connector service repair kit is now available, P/N 15306187, that is an updated design. This
new kit should be used whenever the speed sensor wire harness connector requires replacement.

Numbers 02-04-21-006D and 03-04-21-006 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the 4WD/AWD indicator lights on the selector switch do not
work, or the 4WD/AWD system may be inoperative and/or the service 4WD light is illuminated. The
condition is typically intermittent and always occurs at key-up. Upon investigation, the technician
may find DTC C0550 set.
Cause
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) has not received the wake-up call during key-up and
has remained in the "sleep mode".
When the TCCM is in the "sleep mode", it will not communicate with the class II bus or the Tech
2(R).
Correction
1. Try to communicate with the TCCM. If no communication, go to step 2. If communication is
possible, go to step 5.
2. Remove the underhood (ATCM or TREC) TCCM fuse.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Reinstall the fuse. The module should wake up and communicate with the Tech 2(R).
5. Check for codes in the TCCM. If a C0550 is found current or in history with or without other
codes, replace the module and go to step 6.
6. Reprogram the TCCM with the latest TIS software using normal SPS procedures.
7. Verify operation and that no codes are present.
Important:
For the 2002 model year, the TCCM must be replaced and reprogrammed.

INFORMATION
Subject: Guidelines for Replacement of Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)
Models: 2005 and Prior Light Duty Trucks
with New Venture Gear (NVG) Transfer Case (RPOs NP1, NP4, NP8)
Dealers are replacing the TCCM unnecessarily.
Dealers are replacing the TCCM with codes stored in HISTORY only. The TCCM does not have a
current fault condition when tested.
Parts reviewed at the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) have a 75% No Trouble Found (NTF) rate.
The only two legitimate reasons to replace the TCCM are:
^ Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C0550
^ NO Communication with a scan tool.
DTC C0550
This DTC indicates that the module has an internal fault and should be replaced.
No Communication
^ The no communication conditions referenced here are also caused by a module internal fault to a
point where the module physically will not talk. A technician cannot pull DTCs from the module
because it will not communicate. The module is electrically dead.
^ No communication is not to be confused with a U1026 code. This code tells the technician that
the module may still be functioning but is temporarily off line. This code may be set by the
Instrument Panel (IP) or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) against the TCCM. The technician
needs to figure out why the module went off line. These are typically caused by connection
concerns. There is no need to replace a TCCM for a U1026 DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
^ When diagnosing a transfer case electrical control system, ALWAYS check power and ground
wiring first.
^ Test the connections for intermittent or poor connections, complete plug insertion, bent pins,
pushed out terminals and water contamination.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Control Module: > 05-04-21-002 > Mar > 05 >
Drivetrain - Transfer Case Control Module Replacement > Page 8490
Pay particular attention to the terminal connections at the module. Spread or open terminal
connections may create an intermittent contact. Do a pin drag test. Refer to the terminal testing
information in the table shown.
^ After repairs are complete, ALWAYS clear DTCs from the module prior to a system function test.
If codes are not cleared first, the system will not function after repair. The technician may
erroneously think that the system is still down and that further repairs are needed.
Warranty
Dealers who unnecessarily replace the TCCM that are found to have No Trouble Found (NTF) at
the WPC will be returned to the AVM (Area Service Manager), or the DSM (District Service
Manager) in Canada, through the Regional Feedback Process and may be charged back for the
repair through the WINS system.

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8530
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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.

1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8532
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8533
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8534
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8535
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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 Connector Test Adapters
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
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.

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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.

MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8547
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8548
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8551
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the
possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool. 7. Place the splice
sleeve in the crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9.
Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop
in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent
the wire from passing through the splice (3).
10. Close the handles of the J 38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until the proper
amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.

IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with 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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection 4L60/4L60-E/4L65-E Transmission
Tow/Haul Switch/Indicator Always On or Inoperative
Circuit Description
Tow/haul mode enables the operator to achieve enhanced shift performance when towing or
hauling a load. When tow/haul mode is selected, the tow/haul switch input signal to the body
control module (BCM) is momentarily toggled to zero volts. This signals the powertrain control
module (PCM) to extend the length of time between upshifts and increase transmission line
pressure. Cycling the tow/haul switch again disables tow/haul mode and returns the transmission to
a normal shift pattern.
Diagnostic Aids
If the electrical circuit tests are OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a
mechanical/hydraulic condition that prevents tow/haul operation. Refer to Symptoms - Automatic
Transmission.

This bulletin is being revised to add model years and additional model information and add
graphics. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-011B (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions.
^ The PRNDL display is flashing.
^ The engine will not start.
^ The "Service Engine Soon" Indicator lamp is illuminated.
^ The transmission does not shift properly.
^ The vehicle will not move, transmission will not engage.
Cause
Moisture contamination within the Park Neutral Position (PNP) Switch may cause this condition.
This is sometimes referred to as the Neutral Start Back-up (NSBU) Switch. On a left turn, water
spray from the left front tire is directed directly at this switch. Proper installation of the "Front
Shield" and "Rear Shield" are essential for proper repairs.
Technician Diagnosis
This bulletin ONLY applies to vehicles equipped with a two connector PNP switch as shown above.
A complete and through diagnosis must be performed by a qualified electrical technician to
determine the cause and avoid needless replacement of good components.

Engagement/Engine No Start > Page 8588
Important:
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and or the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) should NOT
be replaced unless properly diagnosed. They are probably not the cause of the concern. It is often
assumed the module is the cause of the concern when, in fact, it is another component or the
wiring between the components that causes the concern.
Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).
^ "8" (shifter should be in the Park position)

^ "7" (shifter should be in the Reverse position)
^ "5" (shifter should be in the Drive position)
^ "3" (shifter should be in the Third gear position)
^ "2" (shifter should be in the Second gear position)
^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

9. Remove and discard the neutral assurance bracket.
Important:
Installation of the front shield and rear shields are important. Without proper installation of the
shield, a return repair is probable. Follow all directions as listed on the installation instructions
sheet included in the Switch kit, P/N 29540479.
10. Fit the new shield onto the PNP switch so that it fits securely against the switch. Make sure this
is done before reinstalling the shift lever.
11. Reinstall the shift lever. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, install the nut on
the end of the selector shaft.
Tighten.
Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 lb ft).
12. Connect the wiring harness connectors to the PNP switch.
13. Attach the selector cable to the lever. Check and adjust if needed.
14. Go back to step 4 of the Diagnostics and insure the Tech 2 readings match the shift lever
positions.
Important:
Clear all DTCs before returning the vehicle to the customer.
15. Return the vehicle to the customer.

Important:
Remember, everything starts with a properly operating Neutral Start Back Up (NSBU) switch. The
NSBU switch has been incorporated into what is now called the Park Neutral Position (PNP)
switch. If the PNP switch does not provide the proper voltage signal to the module indicating the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the module will not allow the starter operation. After the
engine is started, and the shift lever is moved to either Reverse or one of the drive positions, the
range selected portion of the PNP switch portion provides a voltage input to the module as to what
range the driver has manually selected for transmission operation. The module then controls
pressures, shift points and other transmission functions based on the voltage input received from
the range portion of the PNP switch.
The technician may find one or more of the following conditions. The list of these conditions does
not imply any type of frequency or order. They are random events and may occur in any order.
^ DTC P0708, Neutral start/backup (PNP or NSBU) switch
^ DTC P0847, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0872, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P0875, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1711, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC P1713, Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM)
^ DTC U1000, Serial Data Communications
^ Blank PRNDL Display
^ Flashing PRNDL Display
^ Slow or No Engagement of Automatic Transmission
Blank PRNDL Display
A blank PRNDL display may indicate a condition with the PNP switch and/or one or more of the
four signal circuits from the PNP to the TCM.
1. Pin A, Circuit 771 (BLK/WHT)
2. Pin B, Circuit 773 (GRA)
3. Pin C, Circuit 776 (WHT)
4. Pin D, Circuit 772 (YEL)
Or, a blank PRNDL display may also occur if an out of line condition exists with the Serial Data
Circuit (CKT 2470, yellow wire) from the TCM to Splice Pack 205.
Diagnostic Tip
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle.
2. Power up the Tech 2(R).
3. Does the Tech 2(R) communicate with the TCM? If not, inspect the serial data circuit, CKT 2470
(Yellow wire), between the TCM and Splice Pack 205. Specifically inspect connector C106, a five
terminal connector located below the left side underhood bussed electrical center, directly beneath
the red battery cable terminal connection. Perform a mating terminal pull test on all of the terminals
in this connector. Repair as required.
4. Observe the Gear Selected screen on the scan tool. The following values should be shown on
the Tech 2(R) display and the vehicle's instrument panel cluster (if equipped with the I/P display).

^ "1" (shifter should be in the First gear position)
^ "0" (shifter should be in the Neutral Position)
If the Gear Selected display does not match the shifter position in the vehicle, diagnose using one
of the following methods.
^ Obtain a new PNP switch kit, P/N 29540479, from the Parts Department.
^ 0.1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the original transmission mounted PNP switch.
^ 0.2. Connect the new switch to the wiring connector.
^ 0.3. Return to Step # 4 above and observe the display as you rotate the switch. If all positions
indicate properly, refer to the Correction section below.
^ Use the DTC P0708 diagnostic chart in Service Information (SI) under
Transmission/Transaxle/Automatic Transmission
- Allison. Reference SI Document ID # 769549 for the wiring schematic for this symptom.
The PNP switch, as referenced in SI, is known as the NSBU switch in the Parts information. It is
now serviced with a Park Neutral Position Switch Kit, P/N 29540479.
Flashing PRNDL Display
A flashing PRNDL display may be the result of incorrect sensor inputs or transmission abuse
protection modes being received by the TCM. The following are some of these conditions:
^ The transfer case is/was in Neutral.
^ The transfer case is/was shifted into Neutral when the vehicle is moving.
^ A decrease of the input turbine speed was not detected when the gear selector was moved into
any gear.
^ A low transmission fluid level.
^ A misadjusted PNP/NSBU switch.
^ Turbine input speed or output speed sensor failure.
^ Failures of the shift solenoids to route the transmission oil to the proper clutch assemblies within
the transmission.
^ Failures of the transmission clutch packs (C1 or C5 for first gear, C3 or C5 for Reverse).
^ Failure to detect proper line pressures when a gear range is selected, which may be the result of
normal maintenance such as a transmission fluid change having been completed, or the
transmission pan was removed for a filter replacement or other type service.
Transmission abuse protection modes are encountered when a customer performs one of the
following types of maneuvers:
^ Shifting from Neutral to Drive/Reverse when the engine RPM is greater than 1400 RPM.
^ Shifting from Drive to Reverse when the throttle position (TPS) is greater than 25%, such as
rocking the vehicle when stuck in an attempt to free the vehicle.
^ When the transmission output speed is greater than 300 RPM from attempted changes in
direction such as Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse or Neutral to Reverse shifts.
When the TCM encounters any one of the above conditions, the TCM will flash the PRNDL and
default the transmission to Neutral. A flashing

PRNDL indicates something is/was incorrect. The transmission may need the attention of a
qualified service technician.
Correction
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PNP switch.
2. Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
3. With a wrench keeping the shift lever from rotating, remove the nut from the end of the selector
shaft.
4. Use a file to remove any burrs or raised metal where the selector lever was seated against the
shoulder of the selector shaft.
Important:
If the old PNP switch will not slide from the selector shaft without the effort, the selector shaft may
need to be filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the
new switch onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
5. Remove the two bolts that attach the PNP switch and remove the switch by sliding it outward
over the selector shaft.
6. Make sure the selector shaft is in the N (neutral) position (using a wrench on the selector shaft
flats, rotate the shaft to its furthest clockwise position and then rotate counterclockwise two
detents).
Important:
If the new PNP switch will not slide onto the selector shaft easily, the selector shaft may need to be
filed to remove flaring on the end of the selector shaft. This is important, installing the new switch
onto a selector shaft that has damage will cause damage to the new PNP switch.
7. Slide the new PNP switch over the selector shaft with the neutral assurance bracket 920 facing
outward and maintaining the correct PNP switch orientation to the selector shaft. Install and hand
tighten the two PNP switch attaching bolts so that the PNP switch and bracket may be rotated
within the adjusting slots with some effort.
8. While holding the neutral assurance bracket in engagement with the PNP switch, tighten the two
bolts that attach the PNP switch to the transmission case.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 27 N.m (20 lb ft).

Remote Control: Description and Operation Steering Wheel Controls
STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS
Some audio functions are available using the steering wheel controls. The steering wheel controls
consist of multiple momentary contact switches that connect a series of resistors. When a steering
wheel control button is pressed, a specific resistance value is noted by the body control module
(BCM). This results in a generated voltage, unique to the particular button. The BCM alerts the
radio that the button has been pressed, and the radio responds, just as if the corresponding radio
front panel button had been pressed.

This bulletin is being revised to update the Model and Warranty Information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 05-04-21-003B (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on intermittent illumination of the Service 4WD light. Upon
investigation, the technician may find DTC C0374 set. The customer may also comment on
intermittent erratic operation of the 4WD or AWD system after driving through rain/snow or simply
going through a car wash.
Cause
The speed sensor signal may have become corrupted. Possible openings in the speed sensor wire
insulation (twisted pairs) can allow water intrusion. Also wire connections contaminated by water
may result in short circuits and erroneous speed sensor readings. This most often occurs on the
rear speed sensor circuit.
Correction
Inspect the wiring harness to the transfer case speed sensors. On Rainier, TrailBlazer, Envoy and
9-7X models, fabricate a replacement speed sensor harness between the C101 connector and the
speed sensors. Completely inspect and test all wiring. Refer to Speed Signal Front Axle Actuator
and Indicators schematic in SI.
Replace the affected twisted pairs. Do not over-twist the two wires in the replacement harness.
Wires should be twisted at a rate of 9 revolutions per foot. Use service connector pack, P/N
88987993 at the speed sensor end and terminal, P/N 15326267, at C101.
Terminal testing tools and service terminals can be found in Terminal Repair Kit J 38125.
Terminals are available from SPX/Kent-Moore.
The smaller transfer case harness splices into the larger chassis harness a few inches in front of
the crossmember. The chassis harness routes along the left side of the frame under the driver door
area. Use nylon tie straps to secure the fabricated harness to the main chassis harness between
the transfer case and C101.
On the full-size pickup and full-size utility models, replace the 2.2 m (88 in) pigtail harness that runs
from the C151 connector under the hood to the transfer case. Use either harness P/N 15832722 or
15224663 depending on vehicle equipment. Refer to Propshaft Speed Sensors Front Axle Actuator
and Transfer Case Shift Control Switch schematic in SI.
Important:
Technicians should verify the integrity of the splice joints after the repair. All splice joints and
connections should seal properly against water or a repeat condition can occur.

Technicians may find that when the transfer case speed sensor wire harness connector is
removed, the connector lock flexes/bends and does not return to the original position. The transfer
case speed sensor wire harness connector then has no locking device. On older vehicles, the
plastic connector retainer becomes brittle and the clip may break as soon as it is flexed. In the past,
the only service fix was to install a wire harness connector service pack, P/N 88987183. This repair
procedure involved splicing a new service connector with an integral connector lock. This
connector service kit is of the same design and was still prone to failure over time.
A new connector service repair kit is now available, P/N 15306187, that is an updated design. This
new kit should be used whenever the speed sensor wire harness connector requires replacement.

..............................................................................................................................................................
..................................................................................
Condition
Some customers may comment on ABS activation at low speeds, usually below 8 km/h (5 mph).
Upon investigation, the technician will find no DTCs set.
Cause
The cause of this condition may be an increased air gap between the wheel speed sensor and the
hub reluctor ring due to rust and debris built up on the sensor mounting surface.
Correction
Measure AC voltage and clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surfaces.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in the General
Information sub-section of the Service Manual. 2. Disconnect both the front wheel speed sensor
connectors at the frame and harness. 3. Place a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) across the terminals of
each wheel speed sensor connector. 4. Rotate the wheel clockwise approximately one revolution
per second. The minimum reading should be at least 350 ACmV's. If the reading is less
than 350 ACmV's, remove the wheel speed sensor. Refer to the applicable Wheel Speed Sensor
Replacement procedure in the ABS sub-section of the Service Manual.
5. Plug the wheel speed sensor bore in order to prevent debris from falling into the hub during
service. 6. Clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface using a wire brush, sand paper, emery
cloth, scotch brite, or other suitable material. Be sure to
thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor surface. There should be no rust or corrosion.
7. Check the sensor head to determine if it has been warped/distorted due to the corrosion build up
or other causes. Check the mounting surface on
the sensor head for flatness by placing it on the edge of a metal machinists scale or other suitable
straight edge to measure the flatness. Check the sensor for flatness in multiple (minimum 3)
positions/directions. If the sensor head is distorted, replace the sensor.
8. Apply (spray) two thin coats of the specified rust penetrating lubricant (corrosion inhibitor) to the
complete sensor mounting surface on the
bearing hub. Allow to dry for 3-5 minutes between coats. Use ONLY Rust Penetrating Lubricant,
P/N 89022217 (in Canada, P/N 89022218).
9. When the corrosion inhibitor is dry to the touch (about 10 minutes), apply a thin layer of bearing
grease to the hub surface and sensor O-ring prior
to sensor installation. Use ONLY Wheel Bearing Lubricant, P/N 01051344 (in Canada, P/N
993037).
10. Install either the original sensor or a new one in the hub. Ensure that the sensor is seated flush
against the hub. Refer to the applicable Wheel
Speed Sensor Replacement procedure in the ABS sub-section of the Service Manual.
11. Place the DVM across the sensor terminals and recheck the voltage while rotating the wheel.
The voltage should now read at least 350 ACmV's.

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.

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.

GM Brake Service Procedure
GM BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the wheel and caliper.
2. Measure rotor thickness. In order to determine if the rotor can be refinished, do the following
steps:
Important
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 8875
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).
Important
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 8876
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 8877
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).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 8878
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.

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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 8880
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.
Brake Rotor Clean-Up Procedure
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 8881
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.
Key Points - Frequently Asked Questions
KEY POINTS - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Q: How do on-car lathes react to Axle Float? Does the play affect the machining of the rotor,
either surface finish or LRO?
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 8882
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 8883
- 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

Burnishing Pads and Rotors
Caution: Refer to Road Test Caution in Service Precautions.
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).
Important: 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.

Removal Procedure
1. Notice:
Any new rotor must have the protective coating removed from the friction surfaces before being
placed in service. Remove the protective coating using denatured alcohol or an equivalent, and
wipe the surface clean with clean cloths. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other oil base solvents
which may leave an oily residue. This residue is damaging to the brake lining and is flammable.
Raise and support the vehicle. Refer Vehicle Lifting
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. 3. Remove the front wheel hub extension, dual wheel
vehicles only. 1. Insert a drift or large screwdriver through the brake caliper into one of the brake
rotor vanes in order to prevent the rotor from turning. 2. Mark the relationship of the front wheel hub
extension to the hub. 3. Remove the front wheel hub extension bolts. 4. Remove the front wheel
hub extension from the vehicle. It may be necessary to tap around the perimeter of the hub
extension with a rubber mallet
to loosen it from the hub.
4. Mark the relationship of the rotor to the hub. 5. Install a C-clamp over the body of the brake
caliper, with the C-clamp ends against the rear of the caliper body and the outboard disc brake
pad.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Service and Repair > Burnishing Pads and Rotors > Page 8890
6. Slowly tighten the C-clamp until the pistons are pushed into the caliper bores enough to remove
the caliper from the pads. 7. Remove the C-clamp from the caliper.
8. Notice:
Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from
its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in
this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause
damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak. Remove the brake caliper and
brake caliper bracket as an assembly and support with heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent. DO
NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
9. Remove the rotor retaining push nuts from the wheel studs, if applicable.
10. It may be necessary to strike the end of the hub or the rotor with a dead blow hammer to
separate the rotor from the hub.
11. Remove the rotor. 12. If the rotor is difficult to remove due to corrosion in the hub area use the
following procedure to remove the rotor, 25 and 35 series only.
1. Clean all the surface areas and the threaded holes of contamination. 2. Generously apply
penetrating oil or the equivalent to the hub/rotor area. 3. Insert two M10 x 1.5 bolts or jack screws
into the threaded holes of the rotor. 4. Tighten both bolts evenly to force the rotor from the hub.
Installation Procedure
1. Important:
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. Use the J 42450-A to clean all rust and contaminants from the mating surface of
the hub flange.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Service and Repair > Burnishing Pads and Rotors > Page 8891
2. Use the J 41013 to clean all rust and contaminants from the inside diameter of the hat section of
the brake rotor to prevent any foreign material
from getting between the brake rotor and the hub flange.
3. Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no
foreign particles or debris remaining.
4. Important:
If the rotor was removed using the jack screw method you must ensure that the hub flange is free
of nicks or marks caused by this procedure. Remove all raised nicks or marks before installing the
rotor. Align the rotor to its original position on the hub (if applicable) and install the rotor.
5. If the brake rotor was removed and installed as part of a brake system repair, measure the
assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor to
ensure optimum performance of the disc brakes. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout
(LRO) Measurement.
6. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement exceeds the specification, bring the LRO to
within specifications. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout (LRO) Correction.
7. Install the caliper and caliper bracket assembly. 8. Perform the following procedure before
installing the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts. 1. Remove all traces of the original adhesive
patch. 2. Clean the threads of the bolt with brake parts cleaner or the equivalent and allow to dry. 3.
Apply Threadlocker GM P/N 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) to the threads of the bolt.
9. Notice:
Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Install the caliper bracket mounting bolts. ^
Tighten the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts to 175 Nm (121 ft. lbs.) (15 Series).
^ Tighten the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts to 300 Nm (221 ft. lbs.) (25 and 35 Series).

brake caliper mounting bracket as an assembly and support with heavy mechanic's wire or
equivalent. DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
13. Remove the rotor retaining push nuts from the wheel studs, if applicable. 14. It may be
necessary to strike the end of the hub or the rotor with a dead blow hammer to separate the rotor
from the hub.
15. Remove the rotor by slowly turning the rotor while pulling the rotor away from the axle.
Installation Procedure
1. Important:
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. Use the J 42450-A to clean all rust and contaminants from the mating surface of
the hub flange.
2. Use the J 41013 to clean all rust and contaminants from the inside diameter of the hat section of
the brake rotor to prevent any foreign material
from getting between the brake rotor and the hub flange.
3. Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no
foreign particles or debris remaining. 4. Align the rotor to its original position on the hub, if
applicable.

Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout (LRO) Correction
Important: ^
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.
^ 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 (LRO) 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. ^
Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout (LRO) Correction - Indexing 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 inch). Indexing is used to achieve the best
possible match of high spots to low spots between related components.
^ Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout (LRO) Correction - On-Vehicle Lathe The on-vehicle
brake lathe method is used to bring the LRO to within specifications through compensating for LRO
while refinishing the brake rotor.
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.

This bulletin is being revised add model years and include all GM vehicles. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 03-05-24-001 (Section 03 - Suspension).
This bulletin provides information on proper inspection of rear drum brake wheel cylinders.
Important:
It is not recommended that dust boots be removed during inspection processes as dirt and debris
could contaminate the wheel cylinder bore causing premature wear of the wheel cylinder. In
addition, most bores should look damp and some lubricant may drip out from under the boot as a
result of lubricant being present.
All rear drum brake wheel cylinders are assembled with a lubricant to aid in assembly, provide an
anti-corrosion coating to the cylinder bore, and lubricate internal rubber components. As a result of
this lubrication process, it is not uncommon for some amount of lubricant to accumulate at the ends
of the cylinder under the dust boot.
Over time, the lubricant may work its way to the outside of the boot and cause an area of the boot
to look damp. Evidence of a damp area on the boot does not indicate a leak in the cylinder.
However, if there is excessive wetness (i.e. drips) coming from the boot area of the wheel cylinder,
it could indicate a brake hydraulic fluid leak requiring wheel cylinder replacement. (Refer to the
Wheel Cylinder Replacement procedures in the appropriate Service Manual.)

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.
1. Place a clean shop cloth beneath the brake master cylinder to prevent brake fluid spills. 2. With
the ignition OFF and the brakes cool, apply the brakes 3-5 times, or until the brake pedal effort
increases significantly, in order to deplete the
brake booster power reserve.
3. If you have performed a brake master cylinder bench bleeding on this vehicle, or if you
disconnected the brake pipes from the master cylinder, you
must perform the following steps: 1. Ensure that the brake master cylinder reservoir is full to the
maximum-fill level. If necessary add Delco Supreme 11®, GM P/N 12377967
(Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid
container.If removal of the reservoir cap and diaphragm is necessary, clean the outside of the
reservoir on and around the cap prior to removal.
2. With the rear brake pipe installed securely to the master cylinder, loosen and separate the front
brake pipe from the front port of the brake
master cylinder.
3. Allow a small amount of brake fluid to gravity bleed from the open port of the master cylinder. 4.
Reconnect the brake pipe to the master cylinder port and tighten securely. 5. Have an assistant
slowly depress the brake pedal fully and maintain steady pressure on the pedal. 6. Loosen the
same brake pipe to purge air from the open port of the master cylinder. 7. Tighten the brake pipe,
then have the assistant slowly release the brake pedal. 8. Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps
3.3-3.7 until all air is purged from the same port of the master cylinder. 9. With the front brake pipe
installed securely to the master cylinder - after all air has been purged from the front port of the
master cylinder loosen and separate the rear brake pipe from the master cylinder, then repeat steps 3.3-3.8.
10. After completing the final master cylinder port bleeding procedure, ensure that both of the brake
pipe-to-master cylinder fittings are properly
tightened.
4. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to the maximum-fill level with Delco Supreme 11®, GM
P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), 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.
5. Install the J 35589-A to the brake master cylinder reservoir. 6. Check the brake fluid level in the J
29532 , or equivalent. Add Delco Supreme 11®, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or
equivalent
DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container as necessary to bring the level to
approximately the half-full point.
7. Connect the J 29532 , or equivalent, to the J 35589-A. 8. Charge the J 29532 , or equivalent, air
tank to 175-205 kPa (25-30 psi). 9. Open the J 29532 , or equivalent, fluid tank valve to allow
pressurized brake fluid to enter the brake system.
10. Wait approximately 30 seconds, then inspect the entire hydraulic brake system in order to
ensure that there are no existing external brake fluid
leaks. Any brake fluid leaks identified require repair prior to completing this procedure.
11. Install a proper box-end wrench onto the RIGHT REAR wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve.
12. Install a transparent hose over the end of the bleeder valve. 13. Submerge the open end of the
transparent hose into a transparent container partially filled with Delco Supreme 11®, GM P/N
12377967
(Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container.
14. Loosen the bleeder valve to purge air from the wheel hydraulic circuit. Allow fluid to flow until air
bubbles stop flowing from the bleeder, then
tighten the bleeder valve.
15. With the right rear wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve tightened securely - after all air has
been purged from the right rear hydraulic circuit install a proper box-end wrench onto the LEFT REAR wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve.
16. Install a transparent hose over the end of the bleeder valve, then repeat steps 13-14. 17. With
the left rear wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve tightened securely - after all air has been purged
from the left rear hydraulic circuit - install
a proper box-end wrench onto the RIGHT FRONT wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve.
18. Install a transparent hose over the end of the bleeder valve, then repeat steps 13-14. 19. With

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised add model years and include all GM vehicles. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 03-05-24-001 (Section 03 - Suspension).
This bulletin provides information on proper inspection of rear drum brake wheel cylinders.
Important:
It is not recommended that dust boots be removed during inspection processes as dirt and debris
could contaminate the wheel cylinder bore causing premature wear of the wheel cylinder. In
addition, most bores should look damp and some lubricant may drip out from under the boot as a
result of lubricant being present.
All rear drum brake wheel cylinders are assembled with a lubricant to aid in assembly, provide an
anti-corrosion coating to the cylinder bore, and lubricate internal rubber components. As a result of
this lubrication process, it is not uncommon for some amount of lubricant to accumulate at the ends
of the cylinder under the dust boot.
Over time, the lubricant may work its way to the outside of the boot and cause an area of the boot
to look damp. Evidence of a damp area on the boot does not indicate a leak in the cylinder.
However, if there is excessive wetness (i.e. drips) coming from the boot area of the wheel cylinder,
it could indicate a brake hydraulic fluid leak requiring wheel cylinder replacement. (Refer to the
Wheel Cylinder Replacement procedures in the appropriate Service Manual.)

STEP 11.2 IN THE SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR THE 2500/3500 SERIES VEHICLES HAS BEEN
REVISED. DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 05042A ISSUED JANUARY 2006.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain
1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 Series, and 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado
and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Series vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. Some of these
vehicles may have a contact condition between the parking brake shoes and parking brake drums
when the parking brake is not applied. If this were to occur, the driver may or may not hear an
intermittent scraping noise from the rear of the vehicle while driving. This condition could cause
parking brake lining wear. If this lining wear is undetected, the parking brake may become
ineffective in immobilizing a parked vehicle on a grade. An ineffective parking brake may result in a
vehicle crash.
Correction
1500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes, and
depending on the amount of lining remaining, install either a reduced-force parking brake retainer
spring clip on both rear brakes or parking brake shoe kits, which includes the reduced-force clips.
2500-3500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes
and install a new rear right-hand parking brake cable assembly. Also, depending on the amount of
lining remaining, install new parking brake shoes (both rear brakes).

STEP 11.2 IN THE SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR THE 2500/3500 SERIES VEHICLES HAS BEEN
REVISED. DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 05042A ISSUED JANUARY 2006.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain
1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 Series, and 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado
and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Series vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. Some of these
vehicles may have a contact condition between the parking brake shoes and parking brake drums
when the parking brake is not applied. If this were to occur, the driver may or may not hear an
intermittent scraping noise from the rear of the vehicle while driving. This condition could cause
parking brake lining wear. If this lining wear is undetected, the parking brake may become
ineffective in immobilizing a parked vehicle on a grade. An ineffective parking brake may result in a
vehicle crash.
Correction
1500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes, and
depending on the amount of lining remaining, install either a reduced-force parking brake retainer
spring clip on both rear brakes or parking brake shoe kits, which includes the reduced-force clips.
2500-3500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes
and install a new rear right-hand parking brake cable assembly. Also, depending on the amount of
lining remaining, install new parking brake shoes (both rear brakes).

STEP 11.2 IN THE SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR THE 2500/3500 SERIES VEHICLES HAS BEEN
REVISED. DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 05042A ISSUED JANUARY 2006.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain
1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 Series, and 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado
and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Series vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. Some of these
vehicles may have a contact condition between the parking brake shoes and parking brake drums
when the parking brake is not applied. If this were to occur, the driver may or may not hear an
intermittent scraping noise from the rear of the vehicle while driving. This condition could cause
parking brake lining wear. If this lining wear is undetected, the parking brake may become
ineffective in immobilizing a parked vehicle on a grade. An ineffective parking brake may result in a
vehicle crash.
Correction
1500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes, and
depending on the amount of lining remaining, install either a reduced-force parking brake retainer
spring clip on both rear brakes or parking brake shoe kits, which includes the reduced-force clips.
2500-3500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes
and install a new rear right-hand parking brake cable assembly. Also, depending on the amount of
lining remaining, install new parking brake shoes (both rear brakes).

STEP 11.2 IN THE SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR THE 2500/3500 SERIES VEHICLES HAS BEEN
REVISED. DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 05042A ISSUED JANUARY 2006.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain
1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 Series, and 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado
and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Series vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. Some of these
vehicles may have a contact condition between the parking brake shoes and parking brake drums
when the parking brake is not applied. If this were to occur, the driver may or may not hear an
intermittent scraping noise from the rear of the vehicle while driving. This condition could cause
parking brake lining wear. If this lining wear is undetected, the parking brake may become
ineffective in immobilizing a parked vehicle on a grade. An ineffective parking brake may result in a
vehicle crash.
Correction
1500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes, and
depending on the amount of lining remaining, install either a reduced-force parking brake retainer
spring clip on both rear brakes or parking brake shoe kits, which includes the reduced-force clips.
2500-3500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes
and install a new rear right-hand parking brake cable assembly. Also, depending on the amount of
lining remaining, install new parking brake shoes (both rear brakes).

STEP 11.2 IN THE SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR THE 2500/3500 SERIES VEHICLES HAS BEEN
REVISED. DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 05042A ISSUED JANUARY 2006.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain
1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 Series, and 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado
and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Series vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. Some of these
vehicles may have a contact condition between the parking brake shoes and parking brake drums
when the parking brake is not applied. If this were to occur, the driver may or may not hear an
intermittent scraping noise from the rear of the vehicle while driving. This condition could cause
parking brake lining wear. If this lining wear is undetected, the parking brake may become
ineffective in immobilizing a parked vehicle on a grade. An ineffective parking brake may result in a
vehicle crash.
Correction
1500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes, and
depending on the amount of lining remaining, install either a reduced-force parking brake retainer
spring clip on both rear brakes or parking brake shoe kits, which includes the reduced-force clips.
2500-3500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes
and install a new rear right-hand parking brake cable assembly. Also, depending on the amount of
lining remaining, install new parking brake shoes (both rear brakes).

evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired
within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent
vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for
depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made
to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as
possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
Dealer Recall Responsibility - All
All unsold new vehicles in dealers possession and subject to this recall MUST be held and
inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall bulletin BEFORE customers take

STEP 11.2 IN THE SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR THE 2500/3500 SERIES VEHICLES HAS BEEN
REVISED. DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 05042A ISSUED JANUARY 2006.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain
1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 Series, and 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado
and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Series vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. Some of these
vehicles may have a contact condition between the parking brake shoes and parking brake drums
when the parking brake is not applied. If this were to occur, the driver may or may not hear an
intermittent scraping noise from the rear of the vehicle while driving. This condition could cause
parking brake lining wear. If this lining wear is undetected, the parking brake may become
ineffective in immobilizing a parked vehicle on a grade. An ineffective parking brake may result in a
vehicle crash.
Correction
1500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes, and
depending on the amount of lining remaining, install either a reduced-force parking brake retainer
spring clip on both rear brakes or parking brake shoe kits, which includes the reduced-force clips.
2500-3500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes
and install a new rear right-hand parking brake cable assembly. Also, depending on the amount of
lining remaining, install new parking brake shoes (both rear brakes).

Technical Service Bulletin # 05006 Date: 050323
Recall - Brake Booster Pressure Accumulator Cracking
Product Safety - Hydro-Boost Accumulator Over-Pressurization # 05006 - (Mar 23, 2005)
Models: 2004 Chevrolet Kodiak 2004-2005 Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban
2004 GMC TopKick 2004-2005 GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon XL
Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2004 Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick; 2004-2005 Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado,
Suburban; GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon XL vehicles. On some of these vehicles, the hydraulic
brake booster's pressure accumulator may crack and/or separate from the Hydro-Boost(R)
assembly during normal vehicle operating conditions. If a separation were to occur and the hood of
the vehicle were open, fragments from the accumulator could cause injury to people in the
immediate area. In addition, the presence of this crack or fractured surface could allow the
hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly. The loss of fluid would
cause increased steering and braking effort.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect the hydraulic brake booster, and replace it if necessary.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2004 Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick; 2004-2005 Chevrolet Avalanche,
Express, Silverado, Suburban; GMC Savana, Sierra,

CAMPAIGN ID Number: 05V043000 RECALL DATE: Feb 04, 2005
COMPONENT: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 155465
SUMMARY: Certain trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans equipped with Bosch Hydro-Boost brake
assemblies, the hydraulic brake booster pressure accumulator may crack and separate from the
hydro-boost assembly during normal operating conditions.
CONSEQUENCE: If a separation occurred and the hood of the vehicle were open, fragments from
the accumulator could cause injury to people in the immediate area. The presence of this crack or
fractured surface could allow the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster
assembly. The loss of fluid would cause increased steering and braking effort and a crash may
occur without prior warning.
REMEDY: Dealers will test the Hydro-Boost assembly for functional operation of the two-function
valve. If the Hydro-Boost assembly fails the test, dealers are to replace the assembly. The recall is
expected to begin during March 2005. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC
Trucks at 1-866-996-9463 and Hummer at 1-800-732-5493.

2003-2004 GMC SIERRA, YUKON, YUKON XL, SAVANA
CONDITION
General Motors has decided that certain 2003 and 2004 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade
EXT and Escalade ESV; Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche, Suburban, and Express; GMC Sierra,
Yukon, Yukon XL, and Savana; and 2004 model year Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles fail to conform to
either Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake System",
or Standard 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems". These vehicles may have a relief valve bore
within the brake hydro-boost module that is not to specification. An out-of-specification bore could
result in fracture of the relief valve 0-ring seal within the module. If this happens, during braking
applications the driver may be able to hear an engine compartment noise similar to the sound that
occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop position. The driver could also experience a
slight increase in steering efforts while braking and parking. Under certain driving conditions, a
fractured seal may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same
vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seal fracture. If this were to occur, it could result in a
vehicle crash without prior warning.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to inspect the hydro-boost module, and replace the relief valve, if necessary.

DEALER RECALL RESPONSIBILITY - For US and IPC (US States, Territories, and Possessions)
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a
recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has
tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired
within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent
vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for
depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made
to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as
possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
This bulletin is notice to you that the new motor vehicles included in this recall may not comply with
the standard identified above. Under Title 49, Section 30112 of the United States Code, it is illegal
for a dealer to sell a new motor vehicle which the dealer knows does not comply with an applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. As a consequence, if you sell any of these motor vehicles
without first performing the recall correction, your dealership may be subject to a civil penalty for
each such sale.
DEALER RECALL RESPONSIBILITY - ALL
All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this recall must be held and
inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall bulletin before customers take

Service Procedure
The following procedure provides instructions for inspecting, and if necessary, replacing the
hydraulic brake booster relief valve.
1. Open the hood.
Important
You may notice that there is a blue epoxy-type material in the center of the relief valve described in
the next step. This material will be found in both the original arid replacement relief valves.
2. Locate the relief valve (2) on the hydraulic brake booster. The valve is located in the front of the
brake booster directly behind the master cylinder reservoir (1).
^ If the color of the relief valve is metallic yellow or has a brass appearance, then further action is
required.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Power Brake Assist > Hydraulic Brake Booster > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Recalls for Hydraulic Brake Booster: > 04004 > Jun > 04 > Recall - Brake
Hydroboost Relief Valve Seal Defect > Page 9315
^ If the color of the relief valve is silver or aluminum, continue to the next step.
Important
If present, the stamped number being described in the next step would be on the mounting surface
for the master cylinder on the hydraulic brake booster. The number may be difficult to see if there is
any corrosion on the unpainted surface. As a result, it may be necessary to clean the surface with a
piece of emery or sandpaper.
3. Inspect the hydraulic brake booster at the location shown (4) for a stamped number. The location
(4) is the same surface that the master cylinder mounts on, just above the outboard mounting bolt
and nut (5). Also inspect for a paint mark (3) near the master cylinder outboard mounting bolt (5). If
a stamped number is found it will be a 1, 2, 3, or 4. If a paint mark is found, it will be yellow, pink, or
white.
^ If a yellow, pink, or white paint mark IS visible, no further inspection or repairs are required.
Disregard any stamped number found when a yellow, pink, or white paint mark is visible.
^ If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number 2, 3, or 4 visible, no further
inspection or repairs are required.
^ If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number 1 visible, then proceed to the next
step.
^ If there are NO paint marks and there are NO stamped numbers visible, then proceed to the next
step.
Caution
Care should be taken when working around the accumulator since it contains high-pressure
compressed gas and hydraulic fluid.
4. With the ignition in the OFF position, pump the brake pedal a minimum of ten times.
5. On van models, remove the two bolts that attach the diagonal brace between the left front fender
and radiator support. Remove the brace and the water deflector that is attached to it.
6. On all models, remove the two nuts that attach the master cylinder to the hydraulic brake
booster. A 13 mm wrench installed on the bolt head may be required to prevent the bolt from
spinning.
Important
On full size pickups and utilities, the bracket that attaches the brake combination valve will need to
be removed from the mounting bolts at the same time that the master cylinder is removed and
repositioned in the next step.
Notice
When repositioning the master cylinder in the next step, use care not to pinch, kink, or damage the
brake hoses or pipes.
7. Remove and reposition the master cylinder away from the hydraulic brake booster so that the
machined surface on the front of the booster where the master cylinder was mounted is visible.

8. Inspect the machined surface that was covered by the master cylinder on the front of the
hydraulic brake booster at the location (1) shown for a stamped number. The stamped number will
be a number 1, 2, 3, or 4.
^ If a stamped number 1 is visible, then the relief valve must be replaced. Proceed to the next step.
^ If a stamped number 2, 3, or 4 is visible, then no further action is required. Proceed to Step 14
and reinstall the master cylinder.
^ If no stamped number is visible, then no further action is required. Proceed to Step 14 and
reinstall the master cylinder.
9. Cover the master cylinder with a clean shop towel in order to protect it from fluids or cleaners.
Also, place a shop towel under the hydraulic brake booster to absorb any fluid that may leak out of
the unit when the relief valve is removed in the next step.
10. Using the tool (2) included with the new relief valve, unscrew the original relief valve (1) from
the hydraulic brake booster.
Notice
DO NOT blow compressed air into the bore or use any commercially available cleaners to flush the
valve bore in the next step. This could damage the booster or master cylinder.
11. Inspect the two 0-rings on the original valve for signs of damage. If an 0-ring is missing, broken,
or damaged, inspect the bore in the hydraulic brake booster for any pieces or debris using a
non-metallic type tool or a clean "lint-free" towel.
Important
A torque wrench must be used when tightening the valve in the next step. In addition, a 3/8 inch
drive to 1/4 inch drive adapter will be needed if your torque wrench is a 3/8 inch drive.
Important
After tightening the NEW relief valve in the next step, a small gap may exist between the head on
the valve and the hydraulic brake booster. This condition is normal.
12. Insert the NEW relief valve into the bore.
Tighten
Tighten to 17 Nm (13 lb ft).

Hydraulic Brake Booster: Recalls Recall 04V045000: Possible Hydro-Boost Defect
DEFECT: Certain sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and passenger vans fail to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Passenger Car Brake Systems."
Some of these vehicles were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief
valve bore. Consequently, the valve O-ring seal may fracture. Steering efforts may be slightly
increased while braking or parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal may also
require an increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same vehicle deceleration.
REMEDY: Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. The manufacturer has reported that
owner notification is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2004. Owners may contact
Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339; Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; GMC at 1-866-996-9463; or Hummer at

Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2004 Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick; 2004-2005 Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado,
Suburban; GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon XL vehicles. On some of these vehicles, the hydraulic
brake booster's pressure accumulator may crack and/or separate from the Hydro-Boost(R)
assembly during normal vehicle operating conditions. If a separation were to occur and the hood of
the vehicle were open, fragments from the accumulator could cause injury to people in the
immediate area. In addition, the presence of this crack or fractured surface could allow the
hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly. The loss of fluid would
cause increased steering and braking effort.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect the hydraulic brake booster, and replace it if necessary.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2004 Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick; 2004-2005 Chevrolet Avalanche,

CAMPAIGN ID Number: 05V043000 RECALL DATE: Feb 04, 2005
COMPONENT: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 155465
SUMMARY: Certain trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans equipped with Bosch Hydro-Boost brake
assemblies, the hydraulic brake booster pressure accumulator may crack and separate from the
hydro-boost assembly during normal operating conditions.
CONSEQUENCE: If a separation occurred and the hood of the vehicle were open, fragments from
the accumulator could cause injury to people in the immediate area. The presence of this crack or
fractured surface could allow the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster
assembly. The loss of fluid would cause increased steering and braking effort and a crash may
occur without prior warning.
REMEDY: Dealers will test the Hydro-Boost assembly for functional operation of the two-function
valve. If the Hydro-Boost assembly fails the test, dealers are to replace the assembly. The recall is
expected to begin during March 2005. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC
Trucks at 1-866-996-9463 and Hummer at 1-800-732-5493.
NOTES: GM recall No. 05006. Customers can also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.

CONDITION
General Motors has decided that certain 2003 and 2004 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade
EXT and Escalade ESV; Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche, Suburban, and Express; GMC Sierra,
Yukon, Yukon XL, and Savana; and 2004 model year Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles fail to conform to
either Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake System",
or Standard 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems". These vehicles may have a relief valve bore
within the brake hydro-boost module that is not to specification. An out-of-specification bore could
result in fracture of the relief valve 0-ring seal within the module. If this happens, during braking
applications the driver may be able to hear an engine compartment noise similar to the sound that
occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop position. The driver could also experience a
slight increase in steering efforts while braking and parking. Under certain driving conditions, a
fractured seal may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same
vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seal fracture. If this were to occur, it could result in a
vehicle crash without prior warning.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to inspect the hydro-boost module, and replace the relief valve, if necessary.

Service Procedure
The following procedure provides instructions for inspecting, and if necessary, replacing the
hydraulic brake booster relief valve.
1. Open the hood.
Important
You may notice that there is a blue epoxy-type material in the center of the relief valve described in
the next step. This material will be found in both the original arid replacement relief valves.
2. Locate the relief valve (2) on the hydraulic brake booster. The valve is located in the front of the
brake booster directly behind the master cylinder reservoir (1).
^ If the color of the relief valve is metallic yellow or has a brass appearance, then further action is
required.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Hydraulic Brake Booster: > 04004 > Jun > 04
> Recall - Brake Hydroboost Relief Valve Seal Defect > Page 9354
^ If the color of the relief valve is silver or aluminum, continue to the next step.
Important
If present, the stamped number being described in the next step would be on the mounting surface
for the master cylinder on the hydraulic brake booster. The number may be difficult to see if there is
any corrosion on the unpainted surface. As a result, it may be necessary to clean the surface with a
piece of emery or sandpaper.
3. Inspect the hydraulic brake booster at the location shown (4) for a stamped number. The location
(4) is the same surface that the master cylinder mounts on, just above the outboard mounting bolt
and nut (5). Also inspect for a paint mark (3) near the master cylinder outboard mounting bolt (5). If
a stamped number is found it will be a 1, 2, 3, or 4. If a paint mark is found, it will be yellow, pink, or
white.
^ If a yellow, pink, or white paint mark IS visible, no further inspection or repairs are required.
Disregard any stamped number found when a yellow, pink, or white paint mark is visible.
^ If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number 2, 3, or 4 visible, no further
inspection or repairs are required.
^ If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number 1 visible, then proceed to the next
step.
^ If there are NO paint marks and there are NO stamped numbers visible, then proceed to the next
step.
Caution
Care should be taken when working around the accumulator since it contains high-pressure
compressed gas and hydraulic fluid.
4. With the ignition in the OFF position, pump the brake pedal a minimum of ten times.
5. On van models, remove the two bolts that attach the diagonal brace between the left front fender
and radiator support. Remove the brace and the water deflector that is attached to it.
6. On all models, remove the two nuts that attach the master cylinder to the hydraulic brake
booster. A 13 mm wrench installed on the bolt head may be required to prevent the bolt from
spinning.
Important
On full size pickups and utilities, the bracket that attaches the brake combination valve will need to
be removed from the mounting bolts at the same time that the master cylinder is removed and
repositioned in the next step.
Notice
When repositioning the master cylinder in the next step, use care not to pinch, kink, or damage the
brake hoses or pipes.
7. Remove and reposition the master cylinder away from the hydraulic brake booster so that the
machined surface on the front of the booster where the master cylinder was mounted is visible.

8. Inspect the machined surface that was covered by the master cylinder on the front of the
hydraulic brake booster at the location (1) shown for a stamped number. The stamped number will
be a number 1, 2, 3, or 4.
^ If a stamped number 1 is visible, then the relief valve must be replaced. Proceed to the next step.
^ If a stamped number 2, 3, or 4 is visible, then no further action is required. Proceed to Step 14
and reinstall the master cylinder.
^ If no stamped number is visible, then no further action is required. Proceed to Step 14 and
reinstall the master cylinder.
9. Cover the master cylinder with a clean shop towel in order to protect it from fluids or cleaners.
Also, place a shop towel under the hydraulic brake booster to absorb any fluid that may leak out of

Defect
DEFECT: Certain sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and passenger vans fail to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Passenger Car Brake Systems."
Some of these vehicles were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief
valve bore. Consequently, the valve O-ring seal may fracture. Steering efforts may be slightly
increased while braking or parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal may also
require an increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same vehicle deceleration.
REMEDY: Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. The manufacturer has reported that
owner notification is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2004. Owners may contact
Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339; Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; GMC at 1-866-996-9463; or Hummer at
1-866-486-6376.

The EBCM ground is different for each application. Refer to the list below for the proper ground
reference:
^ Midsize Utilities = Ground 304
^ SSR = Ground 400
^ Fullsize Trucks and Utilities = Ground 110
Correction
Important:
Do not replace the brake module to correct this condition. Perform the following repair before
further diagnosis of the EBCM.
Perform the following steps to improve the connection of the EBCM Ground:
1. Remove the EBCM Ground. The EBCM Ground is located on the frame beneath the driver's side
door. If multiple grounds are found in this location, the EBCM ground can be identified as the heavy
(12-gauge) wire.
2. If the original fastener has a welded on nut, remove the nut from the frame, and if required,
enlarge the bolt hole to accommodate the new bolt and nut.
3. Clean the area, front and back, using a tool such as a *3M(TM) Scotch-Brite Roloc disc or
equivalent.

..................................................................................
Condition
Some customers may comment on ABS activation at low speeds, usually below 8 km/h (5 mph).
Upon investigation, the technician will find no DTCs set.
Cause
The cause of this condition may be an increased air gap between the wheel speed sensor and the
hub reluctor ring due to rust and debris built up on the sensor mounting surface.
Correction
Measure AC voltage and clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surfaces.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in the General
Information sub-section of the Service Manual. 2. Disconnect both the front wheel speed sensor
connectors at the frame and harness. 3. Place a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) across the terminals of
each wheel speed sensor connector. 4. Rotate the wheel clockwise approximately one revolution
per second. The minimum reading should be at least 350 ACmV's. If the reading is less
than 350 ACmV's, remove the wheel speed sensor. Refer to the applicable Wheel Speed Sensor
Replacement procedure in the ABS sub-section of the Service Manual.
5. Plug the wheel speed sensor bore in order to prevent debris from falling into the hub during
service. 6. Clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface using a wire brush, sand paper, emery
cloth, scotch brite, or other suitable material. Be sure to
thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor surface. There should be no rust or corrosion.
7. Check the sensor head to determine if it has been warped/distorted due to the corrosion build up
or other causes. Check the mounting surface on
the sensor head for flatness by placing it on the edge of a metal machinists scale or other suitable
straight edge to measure the flatness. Check the sensor for flatness in multiple (minimum 3)
positions/directions. If the sensor head is distorted, replace the sensor.
8. Apply (spray) two thin coats of the specified rust penetrating lubricant (corrosion inhibitor) to the
complete sensor mounting surface on the
bearing hub. Allow to dry for 3-5 minutes between coats. Use ONLY Rust Penetrating Lubricant,
P/N 89022217 (in Canada, P/N 89022218).
9. When the corrosion inhibitor is dry to the touch (about 10 minutes), apply a thin layer of bearing
grease to the hub surface and sensor O-ring prior
to sensor installation. Use ONLY Wheel Bearing Lubricant, P/N 01051344 (in Canada, P/N
993037).
10. Install either the original sensor or a new one in the hub. Ensure that the sensor is seated flush
against the hub. Refer to the applicable Wheel
Speed Sensor Replacement procedure in the ABS sub-section of the Service Manual.
11. Place the DVM across the sensor terminals and recheck the voltage while rotating the wheel.
The voltage should now read at least 350 ACmV's.

IMPORTANT: Some vehicles have a battery remote positive stud-ALWAYS use the battery remote
positive stud in order to give or to receive a jump start-Consult the vehicle's owner's manual for
proper connections.
3. Attach the end of one jumper cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery. 4. Attach
the other end of the first cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery. 5. Attach one end of
the remaining jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery.
NOTE: Do not connect the negative charger lead to the housings of other vehicle electrical
accessories or equipment. The action of the battery charger may damage such equipment.
6. Make the final connection of the negative jumper cable to the block or suitable bracket
connected directly to the block, away from the battery. 7. Start the engine of the vehicle that is
providing the jump start and turn off all electrical accessories. Raise the engine RPM to
approximately 1,500
RPM.
8. Crank the engine of the vehicle with the weak battery. If the engine does not crank or cranks too
slowly, perform the following steps:
8.1. Turn the ignition OFF.
8.2. Allow the booster vehicle engine to run at approximately 1,500 RPM for 5 minutes.

Alternator: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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.

1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9556
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9557
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9558
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9559
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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: 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks

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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.

MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
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. Insure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9571
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9572
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9575
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 9. Tape the diode to the

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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

GENERATOR
The AD-230 and AD-244 generators are non-repairable. They are electrically similar to earlier
models. The generators feature the following major components: The delta stator
- The rectifier bridge
- The rotor with slip rings and brushes
- A conventional pulley
- Dual internal fans
- A voltage regulator
The pulley and the fan cool the slip ring and the frame.
The AD stands for air-cooled dual internal fan; the 2 is an electrical design designator; the 30/44
denotes the outside diameter of the stator laminations in millimeters, over 100 millimeters. The
generators is rated at 102 and 130 amperes respectively.
The generator features permanently lubricated bearings. Service should only include the tightening
of mounting components. Otherwise, the generator is replaced as a complete unit.

Subject: Key Code Security Rules and Information on GM KeyCode Look-Up Application (Canada
Only)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior

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
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.
Important notes about security:
- Users may not access the system from multiple computers simultaneously.
- Users may only request one KeyCode at a time.
- KeyCode information will only be available on the screen for 2 minutes.
- Each user is personally responsible for maintaining and protecting their password.
- Never share your password with others.
- User Id's are suspended after 6 consecutive failed attempts.
- User Id's are disabled if not used for 90 days.
- Processes must be in place for regular dealership reviews.
- The Parts Manager (or assigned management) must have processes in place for employee
termination or life change events. Upon termination individuals access must be turned off
immediately and access should be re-evaluated upon any position changes within the dealership.
- If you think your password or ID security has been breached, contact Dealer Systems Support at
1-800-265-0573.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Starting System > Key > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Locks - Key Code Security Rules and Information > Page 9620
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Starting System > Key > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Locks - Key Code Security Rules and Information > Page 9621
What if I input the VIN incorrectly?
If an incorrect VIN is entered into the system (meaning that the system does not recognize the VIN
or that the VIN has been entered incorrectly) the system will return an error message.
If I am an authorized user for the KeyCode application, can I access the application from home?
Yes.
What if I suspect key code misuse?
Your dealership should communicate the proper procedures for requesting key codes. Any
suspicious activity either within the dealership or externally should be reported to Dealer Systems
Support at 1-800-265-0573 or GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892.
Whose key codes can I access through the system?
At this time the following Canadian vehicle codes are available through the system: Chevrolet,
Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, GMC, HUMMER (H2 and H3 only), Oldsmobile, Saturn, Saab and Isuzu
(up to 2002 model year) for a maximum of 17 model years.
What should I do if I enter a valid VIN and the system does not produce any key code information?
Occasionally, the KeyCode Look Up application may not produce a key code for a valid VIN. This
may be the result of new vehicle information not yet available. In addition, older vehicle information
may have been sent to an archive status. If you do not receive a key code returned for valid VIN,
you should contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892.
How do I access KeyCodes if the KeyCode Look-up system is down?
If the KeyCode Look-up system is temporarily unavailable, you can contact the original selling
dealer who may have it on file or contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at
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.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9657
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Measuring Voltage Drop
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9658
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9659
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9660
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9661
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9662
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 34142-B 12 V Unpowered Test Lamp
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage.
The J 34142-B 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 1 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 1 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
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
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.
Push to Seat Connectors

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9674
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9675
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs
SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9678
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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 Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to
determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold
them between thumb and forefinger.
7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place.
- Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the
existing wires.
13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another
harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to
cover the first piece of tape.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or a provide good electrical connection.
Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except
tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special
requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire
using crimp and seal splice sleeves.
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 desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9682
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original.
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC.
Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the
possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool. 7. Place the splice
sleeve in the crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9.
Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop
in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent
the wire from passing through the splice (3).
10. Close the handles of the J 38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until the proper
amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9683
IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with 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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation
POWER OUTLETS - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The 120-volt auxiliary power outlets (APO) are located in the cab and within the pickup bed. The
APOs provide 120 volts A/C at 60 hertz with a total a total circuit current of 20 amps. All of the
APOs are protected by a ground fault detector located in the starter generator control module
(SGCM). The ground fault detector will turn OFF all the outlets if a short to ground is detected or a
current overload of greater than 20 amps occurs. After correcting the APOs circuit fault, the APO
momentary push button switch on the instrument panel (I/P) may be pressed to reset the ground
fault detector. The 120-volt APOs are activated with a momentary push button that located on the
I/P. There are 3 states displayed by the 120-volt APO switch indicator lamp. If the lamp is
illuminated, then the APOs circuit is activated and the vehicle is in the normal mode. A flashing
indicator lamp signals that the system is in the continuous mode. If the indicator is OFF, the
120-volt A/C APOs are OFF.

ADVANCED SERVICE INFORMATION
Subject: Service Alert: Concerns With Aftermarket Fuses in GM Vehicles
Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2008 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Concerns with Harbor Freight Tools "Storehouse" Branded Blade Type Fuses
General Motors has become aware of a fuse recall by Harbor Freight Tools/Storehouse for a
variety of aftermarket fuses. In two cases, these fuses have not provided protection for the wiring
system of the vehicles they were customer installed in.
Upon testing the 15 amp version, it was found that the fuse still would not "open" when shorted
directly across the battery terminals.
How to Identify These Fuses
Packed in a 120 piece set, the fuse has a translucent, hard plastic, blue body with the amperage
stamped into the top. There are no white painted numbers on the fuse to indicate amperage. There
are no identifying marks on the fuse to tell who is making it. The fuses are known to be distributed
by Harbor Freight Tools but there may be other marketers, and packaging of this style of fuse. It
would be prudent to replace these fuses if found in a customers vehicle. Likewise, if wiring
overheating is found you should check the fuse panel for the presence of this style of fuse.
All GM dealers should use genuine GM fuses on the vehicles they service. You should also
encourage the use of GM fuses to your customers to assure they are getting the required electrical
system protection. GM has no knowledge of any concerns with other aftermarket fuses. If
additional information becomes available, this bulletin will be updated.

Condition
Some customers may comment any or all of the following conditions:
^ The OnStar(R) system may be inoperative.
^ The OnStar(R) system may have no power.
^ The OnStar(R) LED light may not be on.
The technician may also not be able to communicate with the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication
Interface Module VCIM) with a Tech 2(R).
Correction
Remove the OnStar(R) fuse from the fuse box, wait five minutes and reinstall the fuse. If the
OnStar(R) system DOES NOT return to normal functionality, then follow the diagnostics in SI for
this condition.
If the OnStar(R) system DOES return to normal functionality, you will need to replace the VCIM. If
the VCIM is not replaced, there is the possibility that the customer will return to the dealership with
the same conditions at a later date.
Please contact the GM Technical Assistance Center (TAC), to obtain a new VCIM. The TAC
consultant will verify your diagnosis and, if appropriate, order a replacement part. Replacement
parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours, and a pre-paid return package label will be included
for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part, you will avoid a significant non-return core
charge. After the VCIM has been replaced, press the blue OnStar(R) button and request a full
reconfiguration.
When contacting TAC regarding this concern, the availability of certain information from the vehicle
will streamline the process for the dealership technician as well as minimize the time necessary for
TAC to provide the correct diagnosis. Please refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 01-00-89-011B for
further information concerning the information necessary before contacting TAC. Dealers in
Canada should refer to GM Service Policies & Procedures Section 5.3.1 "DEALER
REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE".

ADVANCED SERVICE INFORMATION
Subject: Service Alert: Concerns With Aftermarket Fuses in GM Vehicles
Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2008 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Concerns with Harbor Freight Tools "Storehouse" Branded Blade Type Fuses
General Motors has become aware of a fuse recall by Harbor Freight Tools/Storehouse for a
variety of aftermarket fuses. In two cases, these fuses have not provided protection for the wiring
system of the vehicles they were customer installed in.
Upon testing the 15 amp version, it was found that the fuse still would not "open" when shorted
directly across the battery terminals.
How to Identify These Fuses
Packed in a 120 piece set, the fuse has a translucent, hard plastic, blue body with the amperage
stamped into the top. There are no white painted numbers on the fuse to indicate amperage. There
are no identifying marks on the fuse to tell who is making it. The fuses are known to be distributed
by Harbor Freight Tools but there may be other marketers, and packaging of this style of fuse. It
would be prudent to replace these fuses if found in a customers vehicle. Likewise, if wiring
overheating is found you should check the fuse panel for the presence of this style of fuse.
All GM dealers should use genuine GM fuses on the vehicles they service. You should also
encourage the use of GM fuses to your customers to assure they are getting the required electrical
system protection. GM has no knowledge of any concerns with other aftermarket fuses. If
additional information becomes available, this bulletin will be updated.

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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Grounding Point: > 10-08-45-001B > Oct > 10
> Electrical - Information For Electrical Ground Repair > Page 9903
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.

The EBCM ground is different for each application. Refer to the list below for the proper ground
reference:
^ Midsize Utilities = Ground 304
^ SSR = Ground 400
^ Fullsize Trucks and Utilities = Ground 110
Correction
Important:
Do not replace the brake module to correct this condition. Perform the following repair before
further diagnosis of the EBCM.
Perform the following steps to improve the connection of the EBCM Ground:
1. Remove the EBCM Ground. The EBCM Ground is located on the frame beneath the driver's side
door. If multiple grounds are found in this location, the EBCM ground can be identified as the heavy
(12-gauge) wire.
2. If the original fastener has a welded on nut, remove the nut from the frame, and if required,
enlarge the bolt hole to accommodate the new bolt and nut.
3. Clean the area, front and back, using a tool such as a *3M(TM) Scotch-Brite Roloc disc or
equivalent.

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.

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.

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.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10186
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.

1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10188
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10189
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an

IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10191
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10203
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10204
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

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-D.

Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs
SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10207
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation
POWER OUTLETS - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The 120-volt auxiliary power outlets (APO) are located in the cab and within the pickup bed. The
APOs provide 120 volts A/C at 60 hertz with a total a total circuit current of 20 amps. All of the
APOs are protected by a ground fault detector located in the starter generator control module
(SGCM). The ground fault detector will turn OFF all the outlets if a short to ground is detected or a
current overload of greater than 20 amps occurs. After correcting the APOs circuit fault, the APO
momentary push button switch on the instrument panel (I/P) may be pressed to reset the ground
fault detector. The 120-volt APOs are activated with a momentary push button that located on the
I/P. There are 3 states displayed by the 120-volt APO switch indicator lamp. If the lamp is
illuminated, then the APOs circuit is activated and the vehicle is in the normal mode. A flashing
indicator lamp signals that the system is in the continuous mode. If the indicator is OFF, the
120-volt A/C APOs are OFF.

reconfiguration.
When contacting TAC regarding this concern, the availability of certain information from the vehicle
will streamline the process for the dealership technician as well as minimize the time necessary for

Concerns with Harbor Freight Tools "Storehouse" Branded Blade Type Fuses
General Motors has become aware of a fuse recall by Harbor Freight Tools/Storehouse for a
variety of aftermarket fuses. In two cases, these fuses have not provided protection for the wiring
system of the vehicles they were customer installed in.
Upon testing the 15 amp version, it was found that the fuse still would not "open" when shorted
directly across the battery terminals.
How to Identify These Fuses
Packed in a 120 piece set, the fuse has a translucent, hard plastic, blue body with the amperage
stamped into the top. There are no white painted numbers on the fuse to indicate amperage. There
are no identifying marks on the fuse to tell who is making it. The fuses are known to be distributed
by Harbor Freight Tools but there may be other marketers, and packaging of this style of fuse. It
would be prudent to replace these fuses if found in a customers vehicle. Likewise, if wiring
overheating is found you should check the fuse panel for the presence of this style of fuse.
All GM dealers should use genuine GM fuses on the vehicles they service. You should also
encourage the use of GM fuses to your customers to assure they are getting the required electrical
system protection. GM has no knowledge of any concerns with other aftermarket fuses. If
additional information becomes available, this bulletin will be updated.

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.

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.

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.

Important:
A part restriction has been implemented on all Body and I/P harnesses and is being administered
by the PQC. If a body or I/P harness replacement is required, it can take 12-28 weeks for a
harness to be built and delivered to a dealer. The dealer technician is expected to repair any
harness damage as the first and best choice before replacing a harness.
In an effort to standardize repair practices, General Motors is requiring that all wiring harnesses be
repaired instead of replaced. If there is a question concerning which connector and/or terminal you
are working on, refer to the information in the appropriate Connector End Views in SI. The
Instruction Manual J 38125-620, which is sent with each new update of the J 38125 Terminal
Repair Kit, also has terminal crimping and terminal remove information.
Important:
There are some parts in the J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit (i.e. SIR connector CPAs and heat shrink
tube (used in high heat area pigtail replacement) and some TPAs that are not available from
GMSPO. It is vitally important that each update to the J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit be done as soon
as it arrives at the dealer.
Utilize the Terminal Repair Kit (J 38125) to achieve an effective wiring repair. The Terminal Repair
Kit has been an essential tool for all GM Dealers since 1987. Replacement terminals and tools for
this kit are available through SPX/Kent Moore. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-45-001
for more information.
The Instruction Manual J 38125-620, which is sent with each new update to the J 38125 Terminal

WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION
Bulletin No.: 05-03-07-009C
Date: December 09, 2010
Subject: Wheel Alignment Specifications, Requirements and Recommendations for GM Vehicles
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
used whenever a wheel alignment is performed.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 10696
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.

Figure 3: Tire Shoulder View Example 2 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Figure 4: Detail Side View of Tire Shoulder Area - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
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.
Important

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 10698
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)

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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 10700
Important When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear
wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front wheel alignment angles.
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.
If necessary, adjust the wheel alignment to vehicle specification and record the before and after
measurements. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI.
Important Technicians must refer to SI for the correct wheel alignment specifications. SI is the only
source of GM wheel alignment specifications that is kept up-to-date throughout the year.

Alignment: Description and Operation
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 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.
Toe Description
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 10709
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 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
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.
Lead/Pull Description
Definition: 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/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^
Tire construction
^ Wheel alignment
^ Unbalanced steering gear
The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 10710
Memory Steer Description
Memory steer is when the vehicle wants to lead or pull in the direction the driver previously turned
the vehicle. Additionally, after turning in the opposite direction, the vehicle will want to lead or pull in
that direction.
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
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.

Height Inspection Procedure
Alignment: Service and Repair Trim Height Inspection Procedure
Trim Height Inspection Procedure
Trim Height Measurements
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause bottoming out 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: 1. Make sure the vehicle is on a level
surface, such as a alignment rack. 2. Remove the alignment rack floating pins. 3. Set the tire
pressures to the pressure shown on the certification label. 4. Check the fuel level. Add additional
weight if necessary to simulate a full tank. 5. Make sure the rear compartment is empty except for
the spare tire. 6. Close the doors and hood.
Z Height Measurement
Important: K models only the Z height must be adjusted before 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 a adjusting arm in order to adjust the Z height
dimension. Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of
suspension components.
1. Important:
All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground. Cross vehicle Z heights should be within 12
mm (0.47 inch) to be considered correct. Place hand on the front bumper and jounce the front of
the vehicle. Make sure that there is at least 38 mm (1.5 inch) of movement while jouncing.
2. Allow the vehicle to settle into position.
3. Measure from the pivot bolt center line (2) down to the lower corner (5) of the steering knuckle
(1) in order to obtain the Z height measurement
(4).
4. Repeat the jouncing operation 2 more times for a total of 3 times. 5. Use the highest and the
lowest measurements to calculate the average height. 6. The true Z height dimension number is
the average of the highest and the lowest measurements. Refer to Trim Height Specifications.
Z Height Adjustment

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Trim
Height Inspection Procedure > Page 10713
1. For vehicles equipped with a torsion bar suspension turn the bolt (1) that contacts the torsion
arm clockwise to raise the and counterclockwise to
lower the height adjustment. One revolution of the bolt (1) into the nut increases the Z height by
approximately 6.0 mm (0.2 inch).
2. For vehicles without torsion bars, replace damaged or worn components as necessary.
D Height Measurement
Important: There are no specified trim heights specifications on leaf spring vehicles because it is
not an adjustable feature. The height of the suspension will depend on the option content of the
vehicle as well as the aftermarket equipment that is placed on the vehicle. The measurements are
used for comparison only and should be within 15 mm with the vehicle at curb and no accessories.
1. With the vehicle on a flat surface, lift upward on the rear bumper 38 mm (1.5 inch). 2. Allow the
vehicle to settle into position.
3. Important:
Measure the metal to metal contact points of the rear axle to the frame on the inboard side of the
leaf springs. Measure the D height by measuring the distance between the bumper bracket and the
top of the rear axle tube.
4. Repeat the jouncing operation 2 more times for a total of 3 times. 5. Use the highest and lowest
measurements to calculate the average height. 6. The true D height dimension number is the
average of the highest and the lowest measurements. 7. If these measurements are out of
specifications, inspect for the following conditions:
^ Sagging front suspension Refer to Front Coil Springs Replacement or Torsion Bar Replacement
in Front Suspension.
^ Sagging rear leaf/coil springs Refer to Leaf Spring Replacement in Rear Suspension.
^ Worn rear suspension components, such as leaf spring bushings Refer to Spring Bushing
Replacement in Rear Suspension.
^ Improper tire inflation Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure Specifications.
^ Improper weight distribution
^ Collision damage

Learn Wheel Alignment
After replacement of the handwheel position sensor, rear wheel position sensor, or rear wheel
steering control module it is necessary to perform the learn wheel alignment procedure.
Alignment Procedure
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
vehicles 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 in Tires and Wheels in
order to determine if the vehicle has a tire lead problem.
Before performing any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, perform the following inspections and
adjustments in order to ensure correct alignment readings: ^
Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear.
^ Inspect the runout of the wheels and the tires.
^ Inspect the wheel bearings for backlash and excessive play.
^ Inspect the ball joints and 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
in Power Steering System.
^ Inspect the struts/shock absorbers for wear, leaks, and any noticeable noises. Refer to Struts or
Shock Absorbers On-Vehicle Testing in Suspension General Diagnosis.
^ Inspect the vehicle trim height. Refer to Trim Height Inspection Procedure in Suspension General
Diagnosis.
^ 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.
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.
4. Important:
When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear wheel
alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front alignment angles. Adjust alignment angles to
vehicle specification, if necessary. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications then perform the learn
alignment procedure.
Learn Wheel Alignment Procedure
1. Turn ignition to ON position, with the engine ON. 2. Install the scan tool. 3. Center the steering
wheel. 4. Lift the rear of the vehicle off the ground ensuring the rear wheels are centered. 5. Go to
the Learn Alignment menu choice in the scan tool. Follow the prompts on the scan tool.
Important: When prompted by the scan tool you must turn the steering wheel a full 90 degrees to

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.

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.

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.

Power Steering Bleeding: Service and Repair
Power Steering System Bleeding
Important:
- Use clean, new power steering fluid type only. See: Maintenance
- Hoses touching the frame, body or engine may cause system noise. Verify that the hoses do not
touch any other part of the vehicle.
- Loose connections may not leak, but could allow air into the steering system. Verify that all hose
connections are tight.
- Power steering fluid level must be maintained throughout bleed procedure.
1. Fill pump reservoir with fluid to minimum system level, FULL COLD level, or middle of hash mark
on cap stick fluid level indicator.
Important: With hydro-boost only, the oil level will appear falsely high if the hydro-boost
accumulator is not fully charged. Do not apply the brake pedal with the engine OFF. This will
discharge the hydro-boost accumulator.
2. If equipped with hydro-boost, fully charge the hydro-boost accumulator using the following
procedure:
2.1 Start the engine. 2.2 Firmly apply the brake pedal 10-15 times. 2.3 Turn the engine OFF.
3. Raise the vehicle until the front wheels are off the ground. 4. Key on engine OFF, turn the
steering wheel from stop to stop 12 times.
- Vehicle equipped with hydro-boost systems or longer length power steering hoses may require
turns up to 15 to 20 stop to stops.
5. Verify power steering fluid level per operation specification. See: Power Steering Fluid 6. Start
the engine. Rotate steering wheel from left to right. Check for sign of cavitation or fluid aeration
(pump noise/whining). 7. Verify the fluid level. Repeat the bleed procedure, if necessary.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 06-02-32-013B
Date: August 07, 2009
Subject: Diagnostic Tips/Recommendations When Power Steering Pump Replacement is
Necessary
Models:
1997-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
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
Catalog. Saturn retailers should refer to the appropriate model year Parts & Illustration Catalog for
the vehicle.
3. Be sure to use only the new O-rings included with the PS pump. The new reservoir O-ring must
be lubricated with OE-specific PS fluid prior to
installation. Also make sure that the control valve O-ring is in its exact groove position and is NOT
covering the pressure bypass hole.
4. Bleed the PS system according to the procedures/recommendations in SI.
Following these procedures and using the correct tools and fluids should help ensure that the new
PS pump operates properly. Skipping steps may cost you time and trouble later.

Power Steering Pump: Recalls Recall 04V045000: Possible Hydro-Boost Defect
DEFECT: Certain sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and passenger vans fail to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Passenger Car Brake Systems."
Some of these vehicles were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief
valve bore. Consequently, the valve O-ring seal may fracture. Steering efforts may be slightly
increased while braking or parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal may also
require an increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same vehicle deceleration.
REMEDY: Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. The manufacturer has reported that
owner notification is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2004. Owners may contact

SIR Disabling and Enabling
The SIR Identification Views shown below illustrate the approximate location of all SIR components
available for the vehicle. This will assist in determining the appropriate SIR Disabling and Enabling
for a given service procedure. Refer to See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations/SIR
Zone Identification Views
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
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.
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.
Important: 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.

Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11002
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Measuring Voltage Drop
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11003
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11004
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11005
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11006
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 volt 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11007
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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 J 34142-B 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 1 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 1 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
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: 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.
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
all the 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 SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
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.

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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11019
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11020
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11023
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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 Data 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. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.

IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with 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. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and Inspection Procedures.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-08-002B (Section 03 - Suspension).
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.

Bulletin No.: 05-03-08-002C
Date: October 16, 2009
Subject: Information on Replacement of Shock Absorbers and Struts Due to Fluid Leaks
Models:
2010 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 the 2010 model year and Inspection Procedures.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-08-002B (Section 03 - Suspension).
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.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the parts information in the table and to add an Illustrated
Hub Gallery depicting all wheel hub part numbers called out below for visual identification
purposes. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-03-08-003 (Section 03 - Suspension).
General Motors Vehicle Engineering has introduced a new design Gen III front wheel hub for the
above listed vehicles that replaces the Gen II product.
These Gen II 4x2 and 4x4 applications that were previously serviced by seven part numbers are
now serviced by three Gen III part numbers.
Concerns have been expressed by technicians regarding the use of the new supersessions and
whether the Gen III hubs will properly fit the vehicles being serviced, especially because of visual
and functional differences (splines). This bulletin has been developed to address those concerns.
Please refer to the table above for information on the Gen III replacement part for each Gen II
application. At the end of the bulletin you will find an illustrated "Hub Gallery" with graphic
depictions of both Gen II and replacement style Gen III parts. Using these illustrations you should
be able to identify both the Gen II and Gen III wheel hubs.
Warning
If replacing wheel studs, please refer to the GM Parts Catalog for the correct stud part number for
each application. Different types of studs are used depending on the wheel hub application.
When replacing an older Gen II design 4x2 hub with a new 4x2/4x4 common Gen III hub, it is
acceptable to have a bearing with splines on it for a 4x2 application that previously did not.
However, the older Gen II design 4x4 hubs should NOT be used on a 4x2 vehicle. The Gen II 4x4
hub relies on the tension of the wheel drive shaft joint to hold everything together. The roll form
feature on the inboard side of the new 4x2/4x4 Gen III hub eliminates this concern.
The only hub that is not back serviceable is P/N 15719007 (not pictured) for 1999-2000 C25
applications due to a different hub flange to bearing flange offset.
Important:
Only the new part numbers referenced in this bulletin are interchangeable between the 4x2 and
4x4 applications with the exception of P/N 15719007 (Not Shown). Under no circumstances should
any other 4x4 hub be used in a 4x2 application.

The wheel hubs illustrated above are intended to provide enough visual details to identify subtle
differences between the Gen II and Gen III replacement hubs. The various colors used in the
graphics are not indicative of any difference or feature, but are used to increase the detail and
clarity of the assembly.
The associated part number is listed with each illustration. Please refer to the chart above for the
specific application for each hub.

Please note the following when referring to a specific illustration:
^ When using the illustrations for back to back comparisons of two hubs, the most obvious
differences are visible on the back side of the hubs.
^ The most common area of physical difference are in the shape of the four mounting bosses and
their surrounds.

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.

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.

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

This bulletin is being issued to supply additional information concerning the spare tire on the above
vehicles. You or your customers may have noticed that the spare tire has a 16-inch diameter steel
wheel or 17-inch diameter aluminum wheel while the road tires have a 17-inch, 18-inch, 20-inch or
22-inch diameter aluminum wheel. Although the spare tire has a different wheel diameter and may
be a different brand, the rolling circumference is nearly identical to the road tires. The size
difference will not cause a concern because the spare and the other tires will travel the same
distance in one revolution.
This combination of non-matching tires is used most often on full-size trucks. These vehicles use a
road tire and wheel combination that may be too large to conveniently fit the storage compartment
space of the vehicle. The customer may not be able to easily remove the spare tire/wheel from the
storage area because of its size and/or weight. A steel spare wheel, rather than an aluminum one,
may be used since the spare is stowed under the vehicle where it is exposed to road and weather
elements. A steel wheel is less likely to incur cosmetic damage while in the stowed position for long
periods of time.
Please provide this information to your customers. Also, remind your customers of the importance
of following the tire maintenance schedule as listed in their Owner Manual. Additional tire care
information can be found by visiting www.gmtiresafety.com or contacting GM toll-free.

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

Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 00-03-10-006F > May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire Radial Force Variation
(RFV) > Page 11312
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

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
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
Corrosion

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

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 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

Staining/Pitting/Corrosion > Page 11339
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.

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

longer.
Important 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.
When re-mounting a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in order to
reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.

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.
Lubricants, Grease and Fluids

Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 06-03-10-010A > Jun > 10 > Wheels - Changing
Procedures/Precautions > Page 11350
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 Most Important Service You Provide
While the above information is well known, and wheel removal so common, technicians run the risk
of becoming complacent on this very important

service operation. A simple distraction or time constraint that rushes the job may result in personal
injury if the greatest of care is not exercised. Make it a habit to double check your work and to
always side with caution when installing wheels.

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

Force Variation (RFV) > Page 11356
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

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.

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
Corrosion

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.

Acceptably Prepared (Cleaned-Up) Wheel Surface
6. Once the corrosion has been eliminated, you should coat the repaired area with a commercially
available tire sealant such as Patch Brand Bead
Sealant or equivalent. Commercially available bead sealants are black rubber-like coatings that will
permanently fill and seal the resurfaced bead seat. At 21°C (70°F) ambient temperature, this
sealant will set-up sufficiently for tire mounting in about 10 minutes.Coated and Sealed Bead Seat
7. Remount the tire and install the repaired wheel and tire assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel
Removal and Installation in SI.

Analysis of Returned Wheels
Chrome wheels returned under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for pitting concerns have
recently been evaluated. This condition is usually most severe in the vent (or window) area of the
front wheels. This "pitting" may actually be brake dust that has been allowed to accumulate on the
wheel. The longer this accumulation builds up, the more difficult it is to remove.
Cleaning the Wheels
In all cases, the returned wheels could be cleaned to their original condition using GM Vehicle Care
Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, P/N 10952905). When using this product, you should
confine your treatment to the areas of the wheel that show evidence of the brake dust build-up.
This product is only for use on chromed steel or chromed aluminum wheels.

Subject: Service Alert: Concerns With Aftermarket Fuses in GM Vehicles
Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2008 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Concerns with Harbor Freight Tools "Storehouse" Branded Blade Type Fuses
General Motors has become aware of a fuse recall by Harbor Freight Tools/Storehouse for a
variety of aftermarket fuses. In two cases, these fuses have not provided protection for the wiring
system of the vehicles they were customer installed in.
Upon testing the 15 amp version, it was found that the fuse still would not "open" when shorted
directly across the battery terminals.
How to Identify These Fuses
Packed in a 120 piece set, the fuse has a translucent, hard plastic, blue body with the amperage
stamped into the top. There are no white painted numbers on the fuse to indicate amperage. There
are no identifying marks on the fuse to tell who is making it. The fuses are known to be distributed
by Harbor Freight Tools but there may be other marketers, and packaging of this style of fuse. It
would be prudent to replace these fuses if found in a customers vehicle. Likewise, if wiring
overheating is found you should check the fuse panel for the presence of this style of fuse.
All GM dealers should use genuine GM fuses on the vehicles they service. You should also
encourage the use of GM fuses to your customers to assure they are getting the required electrical
system protection. GM has no knowledge of any concerns with other aftermarket fuses. If
additional information becomes available, this bulletin will be updated.

Wheels: Service and Repair Aluminum Wheel Refinishing
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing
A protective clear coating covers the surface of original equipment cast aluminum wheels. A
surface degradation may develop if frequent automatic car wash cleaning wears off the factory
applied protective clear coating. This can happen at some automatic car wash facilities that use
aggressive brushes to clean whitewalls and tires. Once you damage the protective clear coating,
exposure to caustic cleaners and road salt can cause further surface deterioration. Damage to the
protective clear coating is corrected by replacing the damaged wheel. Refinishing is no longer
recommended.

Wheels: Service and Repair Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation
Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation
^ Tools Required J 39544-KIT Complete Torque Socket Set
Caution: If penetrating oil gets on the vertical surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or drum it
could cause the wheel to work loose as the vehicle is driven, resulting in loss of control and an
injury accident.
Notice: Never use heat to loosen a tight wheel. It can shorten the life of the wheel, studs, or hub
and bearing assemblies. Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to the specified torque to
avoid bending the wheel or rotor.
Notice: Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to
avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification.
Important: Removing wheels can be difficult because of foreign material or a tight fit between the
wheel center hole and the hub or rotor. Excessive force, such as hammering on the wheel or tire,
can cause damage. Slightly tapping the tire side wall with a rubber mallet is acceptable.
1. ^ Tighten all wheel nuts on the affected wheel.
2. Loosen each wheel nut 2 turns. 3. Rock the vehicle from side to side in order to loosen the
wheel. If this does not loosen the wheel, rock the vehicle front to back applying quick
hard jabs to the brake pedal to loosen the wheel.
4. Repeat this procedure if the wheel does not break free.
Removal Procedure
1. Raise the vehicle. Support the vehicle with suitable safety stands. Refer to Vehicle Lifting. 2.
Remove the wheel center cap.
3. Remove the wheel nuts from the tire and wheel. 4. Mark the location of the tire and wheel to the
hub assembly. 5. Remove the tire and wheel from the vehicle. 6. Clean the wheel nuts, studs and
the wheel and rotor mounting surfaces.
Installation Procedure
Caution: Before installing the wheels, remove any buildup of corrosion on the wheel mounting
surface and brake drum or disc mounting surface by scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels
with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This
can cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, causing loss of control and possibly
personal injury.
Notice: A torque wrench or J 39544 must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to
specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel stud, nuts, or mounting surfaces,
as this can raise the actual torque on the nut without a corresponding torque reading on the torque
wrench. Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in wheel, nut, and/or stud damage.

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-03-10-002A (Section 03 - Suspension).
Some hubcap assemblies on the above-listed vehicles are being returned to the Warranty Parts
Center (WPC) for loose and/or rattle conditions. Some returned hubcaps have the stand-off
insulators removed. Analyses of these parts show no out of specification condition.
Hubcap assemblies are placed in the vehicle by the assembly plant for dealer installation.
Installation is done by threading the six or eight plastic nut caps, which are part of the hubcap
assembly, to the external threads of the wheel (lug) nuts.
If over-tightened, these plastic nut caps will jump threads, as designed, causing a loose or rattle
condition.
Important:
^ DO NOT over-tighten the plastic nut caps.
^ DO NOT use an impact wrench on the plastic nut caps.
^ DO NOT modify or remove the stand-off insulators from the plastic hubcap assembly.
The nut cap system is designed to skip a thread if over-tightened. DO NOT replace the hubcap
assembly if this happens.
Hold hubcap (2) firmly in place on wheel with the plastic wheel nut caps (3) aligned with the steel
wheel nuts (1). Hand snug each nut cap (3) (using a hand held deep socket or torque stick) until
fully seated against the hubcap (2). You should feel the nut cap (3) ratchet against the hubcap (2) a
couple times as the nut cap (3) seats. After all nut caps (3) have been seated, check tightness of
each nut cap (3) using the socket or torque stick and tighten any nut cap (3) that may have
loosened. If a nut cap (3) jumps thread (a design feature to prevent damage) and becomes loose
during tightening, continue to tighten and stop short of thread jump.
Follow the installation instruction sheet that is included in each hubcap package.

Subject: Wheel Hub Changes - Gen III vs. Gen II
Models: 2008 and Prior Cadillac Escalade Models 2008 and Prior Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado,
Silverado Classic, Suburban, Tahoe 2008 and Prior GMC Sierra, Sierra Classic, Yukon Models
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the parts information in the table and to add an Illustrated
Hub Gallery depicting all wheel hub part numbers called out below for visual identification
purposes. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-03-08-003 (Section 03 - Suspension).
General Motors Vehicle Engineering has introduced a new design Gen III front wheel hub for the
above listed vehicles that replaces the Gen II product.
These Gen II 4x2 and 4x4 applications that were previously serviced by seven part numbers are
now serviced by three Gen III part numbers.
Concerns have been expressed by technicians regarding the use of the new supersessions and
whether the Gen III hubs will properly fit the vehicles being serviced, especially because of visual
and functional differences (splines). This bulletin has been developed to address those concerns.
Please refer to the table above for information on the Gen III replacement part for each Gen II
application. At the end of the bulletin you will find an illustrated "Hub Gallery" with graphic
depictions of both Gen II and replacement style Gen III parts. Using these illustrations you should
be able to identify both the Gen II and Gen III wheel hubs.
Warning
If replacing wheel studs, please refer to the GM Parts Catalog for the correct stud part number for
each application. Different types of studs are used depending on the wheel hub application.
When replacing an older Gen II design 4x2 hub with a new 4x2/4x4 common Gen III hub, it is
acceptable to have a bearing with splines on it for a 4x2 application that previously did not.
However, the older Gen II design 4x4 hubs should NOT be used on a 4x2 vehicle. The Gen II 4x4
hub relies on the tension of the wheel drive shaft joint to hold everything together. The roll form
feature on the inboard side of the new 4x2/4x4 Gen III hub eliminates this concern.
The only hub that is not back serviceable is P/N 15719007 (not pictured) for 1999-2000 C25
applications due to a different hub flange to bearing flange offset.
Important:
Only the new part numbers referenced in this bulletin are interchangeable between the 4x2 and
4x4 applications with the exception of P/N 15719007 (Not Shown). Under no circumstances should
any other 4x4 hub be used in a 4x2 application.

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

Accumulator HVAC: Customer Interest A/C - Doesn't Blow Cold Enough
Bulletin No.: 02-01-38-007C
Date: July 27, 2004
TECHNICAL
Subject: Poor A/C Performance - A/C Will Not Blow Cold Enough (Perform A/C System Checks,
Replace Accumulator if Necessary)
Models: 2002-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2002-2004 GMC Sierra with 6.6L Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2
- RPOs LB7, LLY) and Denso A/C Compressor
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add part numbers for the hose, bracket and insulator to the Parts
Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-01-38-007B (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on less than desirable A/C performance, especially when the
ambient temperature is above 32°C (90°F).
Correction
Perform the following A/C system checks and replace the accumulator with P/N 89018601, if
necessary. This new accumulator requires the accumulator bracket, the accumulator insulator and
the A/C suction hose to be replaced also.
^ Check for A/C system leaks.
^ Check the A/C system for proper refrigerant charge. This requires recovering the refrigerant to
determine charge in system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging in the HVAC
sub-section of the Service Manual.
^ If no leaks were found and the A/C system is charged to specification, replace the accumulator
using the procedure listed below.
If normal diagnostics do not lead to a correction, then perform the following A/C system checks.
1. Re-calibrate the actuators.
2. Inspect the lower A/C condenser deflector for proper installation. The deflector should be
positioned at the lower part of the condenser and extend forward into the top of the front bumper
and below the two fresh air intake holes.
3. Check the engine cooling fan clutch for proper operation.
4. If the vehicle is equipped with a front license plate, inspect for proper installation. If the license
plate bracket is installed upside down, it will block part of the two fresh air intake holes in the
bumper. When the license plate bracket is installed correctly, the writing on the back of the bracket
will be upside down.
Inspect for material between the radiator and condenser. Remove the top plate to confirm that
there is no restriction. A radiator front filled with material will decrease condenser performance.
5. Some improvements have been found by lowering the A/C charge from 0.82 kg (1.8 lbs) to 0.73
kg (1.6 lbs).
6. Check the low pressure cycling switch for proper operation. The low pressure switch opens at
172-234 kPa (25-34 psi) which stops compressor operation and closes when the low side pressure
reaches 276-310 kPa (40-45 psi). This enables the compressor to turn back on.
Important:
Compressor clutch engagement cannot be used to determine the status of the low pressure switch.
The low pressure switch is one of several inputs to the HVAC control module for A/C request
authorization. A/C request is one of several inputs to the powertrain control module (PCM) that
control A/C compressor clutch engagement.
Using a scan tool to monitor low pressure switch status while monitoring the low side pressure with
the ACR 2000 at the service port and watch

the pressure at which the switch opens/closes is imperative to successfully diagnosing the switch.
7. If the A/C performance has not improved after performing the above steps, replace the
accumulator with P/N 89018601, using the procedure listed below. This new accumulator also
requires the accumulator bracket, accumulator insulator and A/C suction hose to be replaced.

Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
^ Intermittent ticking/clicking noise from the instrument panel.
^ Recirculation mode does not work or Air Conditioning (A/C) system performance is poor during
high ambient temperatures.
^ Unable to control the driver side temperature.
^ Unable to control the passenger side temperature.
^ Unable to change the front system modes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) actuators
that may hunt for the correct commanded position. This cycling may cause a clicking or ticking
noise.
An overtravel of the HVAC system control doors may cause one or more of the concerns listed
above. If an overtravel occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set, and the door will go to
a preset default position. When a system door defaults, that door will stay at the default position
until the DTC is cleared. After the DTC is cleared, the door will operate properly until the overtravel
condition re-occurs.
The table lists the HVAC system doors and the DTC associated with it.
Correction
Technicians are to perform the normal diagnostic procedures in SI for these concerns. If
diagnostics show that the HVAC system door(s) travel below 5 counts (out of the lower range) or
above 250 counts (out of the upper range), then update the software calibrations in the HVAC
control module. The new calibrations were made available to dealerships as part of TIS2000
incremental satellite update version 2.5, which was broadcast to dealers in February 2006.

The new calibrations have been updated to compensate for the actuator overtravel condition, the
actuator hunting and the ticking/clicking noises. The new calibrations effectively eliminate the
codes listed above, the default position of the doors associated with the DTCs and opens up the
feedback position value. The new calibrations should not be used unless the vehicle has one or
more of the customer concerns listed above or a DTC listed above has been set. The new
calibrations will not correct any other DTC or NC system performance concern.

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation
HVAC CONTROL MODULE
Mode Actuator The mode actuator is a 5-wire bi-directional electric motor that incorporates a
feedback potentiometer. Ignition 3 voltage, low reference, control, 5-volt reference and position
signal circuits enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses either a 0, 2.5 or 5-volt signal
to command the actuator movement. When the actuator is at rest, the control circuit value is 2.5
volts. A 0 or 5-volt control signal commands the actuator movement in opposite directions. When
the actuator shaft rotates, the potentiometer's adjustable contact changes the door position signal
between 0.5 volts.
The HVAC control module uses a range of 0-255 counts to index the actuator position. The door
position signal voltage is converted to a 0-255 count range. When the module sets a commanded,
or targeted value, the control signal is changed to either 0 or 5 volts depending upon the direction
that the actuator needs to rotate to reach the commanded value. As the actuator shaft rotates the
changing position signal is sent to the module. Once the position signal and the commanded value
are the same, the module changes the control signal to 2.5 volts.
AIR DISTRIBUTION
Mode Actuator The mode actuator is an electronic stepper motor with feedback potentiometers.
The HVAC control module sends different signals to the mode door actuator through the mode
door control circuit. Zero volts drives the actuator in one direction while 5 volts moves the actuator
in the opposite direction. When the actuator receives 2.5 volts, the actuator rotation stops. A 5-volt
reference signal is sent out over the 5-volt reference circuit to the mode actuator. When you select
a desired mode setting, logic determines the value of the mode actuator signals. The HVAC control
module's software uses this reference voltage in order to determine the position of the mode
actuator through the mode door position signal circuit. The motor moves the mode door to the
desired position.
AIR TEMPERATURE ACTUATOR
The air temperature actuators are a 5-wire bi-directional electric motor that incorporates a feedback
potentiometer. Ignition 3 voltage, low reference, control, 5-volt reference, and position signal
circuits enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses either a 0, 2.5, or 5-volt signal to
command the actuator movement. When the actuator is at rest, the control circuit value is 2.5 volts.
A 0 or 5-volt control signal commands the actuator movement in opposite directions. When the
actuator shaft rotates, the potentiometers adjustable contact changes the door position signal
between 0.5 volts.
The HVAC control module uses a range of 0-255 counts to index the actuator position. The door
position signal voltage is converted to a 0-255 count range. When the module sets a commanded,
or targeted, value, the control signal is changed to either 0 or 5 volts depending upon the direction
that the actuator needs to rotate to reach the commanded value. As the actuator shaft rotates, the
changing position signal is sent to the module. Once the position signal and the commanded value
are the same, the module changes the control signal to 2.5 volts.
RECIRCULATION ACTUATOR
The HVAC control module controls the air intake through the recirculation actuator. Recirculation is
not available when the mode is in defrost. When the mode is in defog, Recirculation will only be
available for 10 minutes. The operator must activate the blower for Recirculation operation. The
A/C high-pressure recirculation switch can cause the HVAC system to recirculate air. If the
recirculation switch is pressed into the ON position when the mode switch is in an unavailable
mode position, then the recirculation switch LED will flash 3 times. When the high side pressure
reaches 2206-2620 kPa (320-380 psi), the PCM will place the HVAC system in recirculation mode.
The high side pressure is lowered when the inside air cools the refrigerant within the A/C
evaporator. When the high-side pressure reaches 1447-1861 kPa (210-270 psi), the PCM will
place the HVAC system out of recirculation mode.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2-wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and a low-reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0.5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the above conditions.
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

Auxiliary Blower Motor: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Auxiliary Blower Motor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11662
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM
to autorange to an appropriate range.

Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Auxiliary Blower Motor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11664
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Auxiliary Blower Motor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11665
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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.

Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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.

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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Auxiliary Blower Motor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11667
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Auxiliary Blower Motor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11679
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

circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs
SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-D contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The sealed splices 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-D 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

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11682
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Auxiliary Blower Motor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11683
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11684
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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 Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS

Cabin Air Filter: Service and Repair
This Article has been updated by bulletin #PIT3330, dated December 22, 2004.
Condition/Concern:
A customer may inquire about the availability of the passenger compartment air filter.
Recommendation/Instructions:
Starting in 2003 model year, the passenger compartment air filter is no longer available as a factory
option. With the redesigned HVAC case, there is no longer a cavity for the filter. The GM parts
catalog indicates there is a replacement filter available; however, there is no provision for it.

Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2-wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and a low-reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0.5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the above conditions.
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
^ Intermittent ticking/clicking noise from the instrument panel.
^ Recirculation mode does not work or Air Conditioning (A/C) system performance is poor during
high ambient temperatures.
^ Unable to control the driver side temperature.
^ Unable to control the passenger side temperature.
^ Unable to change the front system modes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) actuators
that may hunt for the correct commanded position. This cycling may cause a clicking or ticking
noise.
An overtravel of the HVAC system control doors may cause one or more of the concerns listed
above. If an overtravel occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set, and the door will go to
a preset default position. When a system door defaults, that door will stay at the default position
until the DTC is cleared. After the DTC is cleared, the door will operate properly until the overtravel
condition re-occurs.
The table lists the HVAC system doors and the DTC associated with it.
Correction
Technicians are to perform the normal diagnostic procedures in SI for these concerns. If
diagnostics show that the HVAC system door(s) travel below 5 counts (out of the lower range) or
above 250 counts (out of the upper range), then update the software calibrations in the HVAC
control module. The new calibrations were made available to dealerships as part of TIS2000
incremental satellite update version 2.5, which was broadcast to dealers in February 2006.

The new calibrations have been updated to compensate for the actuator overtravel condition, the
actuator hunting and the ticking/clicking noises. The new calibrations effectively eliminate the
codes listed above, the default position of the doors associated with the DTCs and opens up the
feedback position value. The new calibrations should not be used unless the vehicle has one or
more of the customer concerns listed above or a DTC listed above has been set. The new
calibrations will not correct any other DTC or NC system performance concern.

Subject: Intermittent Ticking Noise from I/P, Poor A/C Performance, HVAC DTCs B0229, B0414,
B0424, B3770 (Reprogram HVAC Control Module)
Models: 2004-2006 Cadillac Escalade Models 2004-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado,

with Air Conditioning (RPOs CJ2, CJ3)
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
^ Intermittent ticking/clicking noise from the instrument panel.
^ Recirculation mode does not work or Air Conditioning (A/C) system performance is poor during
high ambient temperatures.
^ Unable to control the driver side temperature.
^ Unable to control the passenger side temperature.
^ Unable to change the front system modes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) actuators
that may hunt for the correct commanded position. This cycling may cause a clicking or ticking
noise.
An overtravel of the HVAC system control doors may cause one or more of the concerns listed
above. If an overtravel occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set, and the door will go to
a preset default position. When a system door defaults, that door will stay at the default position
until the DTC is cleared. After the DTC is cleared, the door will operate properly until the overtravel
condition re-occurs.
The table lists the HVAC system doors and the DTC associated with it.
Correction
Technicians are to perform the normal diagnostic procedures in SI for these concerns. If
diagnostics show that the HVAC system door(s) travel below 5 counts (out of the lower range) or
above 250 counts (out of the upper range), then update the software calibrations in the HVAC
control module. The new calibrations were made available to dealerships as part of TIS2000
incremental satellite update version 2.5, which was broadcast to dealers in February 2006.

The new calibrations have been updated to compensate for the actuator overtravel condition, the
actuator hunting and the ticking/clicking noises. The new calibrations effectively eliminate the
codes listed above, the default position of the doors associated with the DTCs and opens up the
feedback position value. The new calibrations should not be used unless the vehicle has one or
more of the customer concerns listed above or a DTC listed above has been set. The new
calibrations will not correct any other DTC or NC system performance concern.

Discharge Air Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2-wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and a low-reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0.5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the above conditions.
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

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.

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.

This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 05-06-02-001 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important:
2004-05 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX-COOL(R). Refer to the
flushing procedure explained later in this bulletin.
The following information should be utilized when servicing aluminum heater core and/or radiators
on repeat visits. A replacement may be necessary because erosion, corrosion, or insufficient
inhibitor levels may cause damage to the heater core, radiator or water pump. A coolant check
should be performed whenever a heater core, radiator, or water pump is replaced. The following
procedures/ inspections should be done to verify proper coolant effectiveness.
Caution:
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 under pressure if the radiator cap or surge
tank cap is removed while the engine and radiator are still hot.
Important:
If the vehicle's coolant is low, drained out, or the customer has repeatedly added coolant or water
to the system, then the system should be completely flushed using the procedure explained later in
this bulletin.
Technician Diagnosis
^ Verify coolant concentration. A 50% coolant/water solution ensures proper freeze and corrosion
protection. Inhibitor levels cannot be easily measured in the field, but can be indirectly done by the
measurement of coolant concentration. This must be done by using a Refractometer J 23688
(Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale), or equivalent, coolant tester. The Refractometer
uses a minimal amount of coolant that can be taken from the coolant recovery reservoir, radiator or
the engine block. Inexpensive gravity float testers (floating balls) will not completely analyze the
coolant concentration fully and should not be used. The concentration levels should be between
50% and 65% coolant concentrate. This mixture will have a freeze point protection of -34 degrees
Fahrenheit (-37 degrees Celsius). If the concentration is below 50%, the cooling system must be
flushed.
^ Inspect the coolant flow restrictor if the vehicle is equipped with one. Refer to Service Information
(SI) and/or the appropriate Service Manual for component location and condition for operation.
^ Verify that no electrolysis is present in the cooling system. This electrolysis test can be performed
before or after the system has been repaired. Use a digital voltmeter set to 12 volts. Attach one test
lead to the negative battery post and insert the other test lead into the radiator coolant, making sure
the lead does not touch the filler neck or core. Any voltage reading over 0.3 volts indicates that
stray current is finding its way into the coolant. Electrolysis is often an intermittent condition that
occurs when a device or accessory that is mounted to the radiator is energized. This type of current
could be caused from a poorly grounded cooling fan or some other accessory and can be verified
by watching the volt meter and turning on and off various accessories or engage the starter motor.
Before using one of the following flush procedures, the coolant recovery reservoir must be
removed, drained, cleaned and reinstalled before refilling the system.
Notice:
^ Using coolant other than DEX‐COOL(R) 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(R) (silicate free) coolant in your vehicle.
^ 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.

Bulletins > Cooling System, A/C - Aluminum Heater Cores/Radiators > Page 11906
Flushing Procedures using DEX-COOL(R)
Important:
The following procedure recommends refilling the system with DEX-COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in
Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M. This coolant is orange in color and has a
service interval of 5 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi). However, when used on vehicles built prior
to the introduction of DEX-COOL(R), maintenance intervals will remain the same as specified in the
Owner's Manual.
^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM
Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions.
^ If approved cooling system flush and fill machine is not available, drain the coolant and dispose of
properly following the draining procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system
using clear, drinkable water and run the vehicle until the thermostat opens. Repeat and run the
vehicle three (3) times to totally remove the old coolant or until the drained coolant is almost clear.
Once the system is completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with
DEX‐COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M,
following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual.
If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% DEX-COOL(R),
P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M. Then slowly add clear,
drinkable water (preferably distilled) to the system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached
the base of the radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and reverify the coolant level. If necessary, add
clean water to restore the coolant to the appropriate level.
Once the system is refilled, reverify the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688
(Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. The concentration
levels should be between 50% and 65%.
Flushing Procedures using Conventional Silicated (Green Colored) Coolant
Important:
2004-2005 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX‐COOL(R).
The Aveo and Wave are filled with conventional, silicated engine coolant that is blue in color.
Silicated coolants are typically green in color and are required to be drained, flushed and refilled
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The Aveo and Wave are to be serviced with conventional, silicated
coolant. Use P/N 12378560 (1 gal) (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 (1 L). Refer to the Owner's
Manual or Service Information (SI) for further information on OEM coolant.
Important:
Do not mix the OEM orange colored DEX-COOL(R) coolant with green colored coolant when
adding coolant to the system or when servicing the vehicle's cooling system. Mixing the orange and
green colored coolants will produce a brown coolant which may be a customer dissatisfier and will
not extend the service interval to that of DEX-COOL(R). Conventional silicated coolants offered by
GM Service and Parts Operations are green in color.
^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM
Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions.
^ If approved cooling systems flush and fill machine is not available, drain coolant and dispose of
properly following the draining procedures in appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system using
clear, drinkable water and run vehicle until thermostat opens. Repeat and run vehicle three (3)
times to totally remove old coolant or until drained coolant is almost clear. Once the system is
completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with a good quality
ethylene glycol base engine coolant, P/N 12378560, 1 gal (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 1 L),
conforming to GM specification 1825M, or recycled coolant conforming to GM specification 1825M,
following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual.
If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% good quality
ethylene glycol base (green colored) engine coolant, P/N 12378560 1 gal., (in Canada, use P/N
88862159 1 L) conforming to GM specification 1825M. Then slowly add clear, drinkable water
(preferably distilled) to system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached the base of the
radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and recheck coolant level. If necessary, add clean water to
restore coolant to the appropriate level.
Once the system is refilled, recheck the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688
(Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. Concentration levels
should be between 50% and 65%.

Date: July 27, 2004
TECHNICAL
Subject: Poor A/C Performance - A/C Will Not Blow Cold Enough (Perform A/C System Checks,
Replace Accumulator if Necessary)
Models: 2002-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2002-2004 GMC Sierra with 6.6L Diesel Engine (VINs 1, 2
- RPOs LB7, LLY) and Denso A/C Compressor
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add part numbers for the hose, bracket and insulator to the Parts
Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-01-38-007B (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on less than desirable A/C performance, especially when the
ambient temperature is above 32°C (90°F).
Correction
Perform the following A/C system checks and replace the accumulator with P/N 89018601, if
necessary. This new accumulator requires the accumulator bracket, the accumulator insulator and
the A/C suction hose to be replaced also.
^ Check for A/C system leaks.
^ Check the A/C system for proper refrigerant charge. This requires recovering the refrigerant to
determine charge in system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging in the HVAC
sub-section of the Service Manual.
^ If no leaks were found and the A/C system is charged to specification, replace the accumulator
using the procedure listed below.
If normal diagnostics do not lead to a correction, then perform the following A/C system checks.
1. Re-calibrate the actuators.
2. Inspect the lower A/C condenser deflector for proper installation. The deflector should be
positioned at the lower part of the condenser and extend forward into the top of the front bumper
and below the two fresh air intake holes.
3. Check the engine cooling fan clutch for proper operation.
4. If the vehicle is equipped with a front license plate, inspect for proper installation. If the license
plate bracket is installed upside down, it will block part of the two fresh air intake holes in the
bumper. When the license plate bracket is installed correctly, the writing on the back of the bracket
will be upside down.
Inspect for material between the radiator and condenser. Remove the top plate to confirm that
there is no restriction. A radiator front filled with material will decrease condenser performance.
5. Some improvements have been found by lowering the A/C charge from 0.82 kg (1.8 lbs) to 0.73
kg (1.6 lbs).
6. Check the low pressure cycling switch for proper operation. The low pressure switch opens at
172-234 kPa (25-34 psi) which stops compressor operation and closes when the low side pressure
reaches 276-310 kPa (40-45 psi). This enables the compressor to turn back on.
Important:
Compressor clutch engagement cannot be used to determine the status of the low pressure switch.
The low pressure switch is one of several inputs to the HVAC control module for A/C request
authorization. A/C request is one of several inputs to the powertrain control module (PCM) that
control A/C compressor clutch engagement.
Using a scan tool to monitor low pressure switch status while monitoring the low side pressure with
the ACR 2000 at the service port and watch

Bulletin No.: 08-01-38-001
Date: January 25, 2008
INFORMATION
Subject: Information On New GE-48800 CoolTech Refrigerant Recovery/Recharge Equipment
Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to announce the release of GM approved Air Conditioning (A/C)
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging Equipment that meets the new Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standards. The ACR2000 (J-43600) cannot be
manufactured in its current state after December 2007 and will be superseded by GE-48800.
The new J2788 standard does not require that GM Dealers replace their ACR2000 units.
ACR2000's currently in use are very capable of servicing today's refrigerant systems when used
correctly and can continue to be used. Details regarding the new SAE J2788 standard are outlined
in GM Bulletin 07-01-38-004.
Effective February 1 2008, new A/C Refrigerant Recovery/Recharging equipment (P/N GE-48800)
will be released as a required replacement for the previously essential ACR2000 (J-43600). This
equipment is SAE J2788 compliant and meets GM requirements for A/C Refrigerant System
Repairs on all General Motors vehicles, including Hybrid systems with Polyolester (POE)
refrigerant oil. This equipment will not be shipped as an essential tool to GM Dealerships.
In addition, this equipment is Hybrid compliant and designed to prevent oil cross contamination
when servicing Hybrid vehicles with Electric A/C Compressors that use POE refrigerant oil.
The ACR2000 (J-43600) will need to be retrofitted with a J-43600-50 (Hose - ACR2000 Oil Flush
Loop) to be able to perform Hybrid A/C service work. All Hybrid dealers will receive the J-43600-50,
with installation instructions, as a component of the Hybrid essential tool package. Dealerships that
do not sell Hybrids, but may need to service Hybrids, can obtain J-43600-50 from SPX Kent Moore.
Refer to GM Bulletin 08-01-39-001 for the ACR2000 Hose Flush procedure.
The High Voltage (HV) electric A/C compressor used on Two Mode Hybrid vehicles uses a
Polyolester (POE) refrigerant oil instead of a Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) synthetic refrigerant oil.
This is due to the better electrical resistance of the POE oil and its ability to provide HV isolation.
Failure to flush the hoses before adding refrigerant to a Hybrid vehicle with an electric A/C
compressor may result in an unacceptable amount of PAG oil entering the refrigerant system. It
may cause a Battery Energy Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Lost
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC P1AE7) to be set. Additionally, the A/C system warranty will be
voided.
Warranty Submission Requirements
The Electronically Generated Repair Data (snapshot summary) and printer functions have been
eliminated from the GE-48800. The VGA display and temperature probes were eliminated to
reduce equipment costs. As a result, effective immediately the 18 digit "Snapshot/Charge
Summary" code is no longer required for Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant system repairs that are
submitted for warranty reimbursement. The charge summary data from before and after system
repairs will continue to required, but documented on the repair order only. Both high and low
pressures and the recovery and charge amounts should be noted during the repair and entered on
the repair order. If using ACR2000 (J-43600), the "Snapshot/Charge Summary" printouts should
continue to be attached to the shops copy of the repair order.
The labor codes that are affected by this requirement are D3000 through D4500.

performance.
Industry Reaction: New Industry Purity Standards
Due to the potential availability of these lower quality refrigerants, the Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE), and the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry (ARI) are in the process of
instituting reliable standards that will be carried on the labels of future R134a refrigerant containers.
This identifying symbol will be your assurance of a product that conforms to the minimum standard
for OEM Automotive Air-Conditioning use.
How Can You Protect Yourself Today?
It is recommended to use GM or ACDelco(R) sourced refrigerants for all A/C repair work. These
refrigerants meet General Motors own internal standards for quality and purity, insuring that your
completed repairs are as good as the way it left the factory.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY AND RECHARGING
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 43600 ACR 2000 Air Conditioning Service Center
- J 45037 A/C Oil Injector
CAUTION: Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist. Exposure
may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a
from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J
2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work
area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the
refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
- For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around
fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If
R-134a 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.
NOTE: 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.
- To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
- Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the
R-134a A/C system and only 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.
- 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,
recycles, evacuates and recharges A/C refrigerant quickly, accurately and automatically. The unit
has a display screen that contains the function controls and displays prompts that will lead the
technician through the recover, recycle, evacuate and recharge operations. R-134a is recovered
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 for the
correct amount.
A/C REFRIGERANT SYSTEM OIL CHARGE REPLENISHING
If oil was removed from the A/C system during the recovery process or due to component
replacement, the oil must be replenished. Oil can be injected into a charged system using J 45037 .
For the proper quantities of oil to add to the A/C refrigerant system, refer to Refrigerant System
Capacities.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-01-38-010 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Currently, technicians cannot accurately determine the air conditioning (A/C) low pressure switch
open/close pressure point by measuring pressure at the low side service port. This is because the
evaporator is between the low side service port and the A/C low pressure switch. Correlating
pressures measured at the low side service port to actual pressures at the A/C low pressure switch
port is difficult because of the multiple variables that impact pressure drop across the evaporator.
Providing a pressure range that would take into account all these variables would result in a
pressure range that would be too broad to be useful for diagnostic purposes. Kent Moore special
tool GE-47742 will allow technicians to monitor the actual pressures at which the A/C low pressure
switch opens and closes under actual operating conditions.
Technicians are to use the following steps to install and use Kent Moore special tool GE-47742 to
measure A/C low pressure switch opening and closing pressures:
1. Disconnect the wire harness from the A/C low pressure switch. 2. Remove the A/C low pressure
switch from the accumulator. 3. Install the A/C low pressure switch, using the threaded port with an
O-ring, onto special tool GE-47742. 4. Install special tool GE-47742, with the A/C low pressure
switch attached, onto the accumulator.
Important Removing the seal from the A/C low pressure switch wire harness connector is required.
Failure to remove the seal before plugging it into the switch will lead to misdiagnosis. The "plunger
effect" of plugging the connector with a seal into the A/C low pressure switch induces a pressure
on the back side of the switch. This pressure will skew the opening/closing characteristics of the
switch 34-69 kPa (5-10 psi) until the pressure bleeds off. The time required for the connection
induced pressure to bleed off can be 20 minutes or longer.
5. Remove the seal from the A/C low pressure switch wire harness connector. 6. Connect the wire
harness, without the seal, to the A/C low pressure switch. 7. Connect the low side service hose
from the ACR2000(R) or GE-48800 to the service port on special tool GE-47742. 8. Connect a
Tech2(R) to the vehicle. 9. Start the vehicle and maintain an engine speed of 1500 RPM. Set the
HVAC controls as follows:
- Set the A/C control switch to ON.
- Set the mode control switch to A/C and engage recirculation mode.
- Set the blower motor speed to LOW.
- Set the temperature control to full cold.
- Set the auxiliary blower motor speed to LOW. If equipped.
- Set the auxiliary temperature control to full cold. If equipped.
- The vehicle must be operating with no sun load (in the shade).
10. Use the Tech2(R) to determine the A/C low pressure switch status and the ACR2000(R) or
GE-48800 to determine the A/C low side pressure.
Simultaneously monitor the switch status and the pressure at which the A/C low pressure switch
opens and closes. The Tech2(R) will display switch status as "Normal" for Closed and "Low
Pressure" for Open. A properly operating switch should open between 138-172 kPa (20-25 psi)

and close between 275-317 kPa (40-46 psi).
11. Remove special tool GE-47742 after diagnosis is complete. 12. Install a new O-ring on the A/C
low pressure switch port on the accumulator. Lightly coat the new O-ring seal with mineral base
525 viscosity
refrigerant oil.
13. Install the A/C low pressure switch onto the accumulator.
Tighten Tighten the A/C low pressure switch to 6 Nm (44 lb in).
Important Remember to install the seal back onto the A/C low pressure switch wire harness
connector. Failure to replace the seal could result in terminal corrosion.
14. Reconnect the wire harness to the A/C low pressure switch.

Low Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could
damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing. The HVAC control module applies 5 volts
to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch will open when the A/C low side pressure
reaches 165-200 kPa (24-29 psi). This prevents the A/C compressor from operating. The switch
will then close when A/C low pressure side reaches 275-310 kPa (40-45 psi). This enables the A/C
compressor to turn back ON.
The low pressure switch uses refrigerant pressure to open and close a set of electrical contacts.
When A/C request is authorized, the switch is closed and shows normal status. During this state,
the switch will show 0 volts on the A/C low pressure sensor signal circuit. When A/C request is
denied due to a low pressure condition, the switch will be open. During this state, the switch will
show 5 volts on the A/C low pressure sensor signal circuit.

Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
^ Intermittent ticking/clicking noise from the instrument panel.
^ Recirculation mode does not work or Air Conditioning (A/C) system performance is poor during
high ambient temperatures.
^ Unable to control the driver side temperature.
^ Unable to control the passenger side temperature.
^ Unable to change the front system modes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) actuators
that may hunt for the correct commanded position. This cycling may cause a clicking or ticking
noise.
An overtravel of the HVAC system control doors may cause one or more of the concerns listed
above. If an overtravel occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set, and the door will go to
a preset default position. When a system door defaults, that door will stay at the default position
until the DTC is cleared. After the DTC is cleared, the door will operate properly until the overtravel
condition re-occurs.
The table lists the HVAC system doors and the DTC associated with it.
Correction
Technicians are to perform the normal diagnostic procedures in SI for these concerns. If
diagnostics show that the HVAC system door(s) travel below 5 counts (out of the lower range) or
above 250 counts (out of the upper range), then update the software calibrations in the HVAC
control module. The new calibrations were made available to dealerships as part of TIS2000
incremental satellite update version 2.5, which was broadcast to dealers in February 2006.

The new calibrations have been updated to compensate for the actuator overtravel condition, the
actuator hunting and the ticking/clicking noises. The new calibrations effectively eliminate the
codes listed above, the default position of the doors associated with the DTCs and opens up the
feedback position value. The new calibrations should not be used unless the vehicle has one or
more of the customer concerns listed above or a DTC listed above has been set. The new
calibrations will not correct any other DTC or NC system performance concern.

Due to part availability, owner letters will be released in phases starting with older model year first.
Owners for model year vehicles not included in first phase owner mailing will receive an owner
advisory letter.
The letter will inform the customer that parts are not yet available and that another letter will be
sent to them when parts become available. A copy of this letter will be attached to the dealer
message announcing this bulletin.
In the meantime, if a customer brings their vehicle to the dealership with the condition described in
this bulletin, repair the vehicle using the parts called out in this bulletin.
Condition
On some 2003-2006 model year Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe; GMC Yukon, Yukon XL;
and 2003-2007 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra vehicles equipped with a manual
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system (CJ3) or heavy duty heater (C42), the
interface between the electrical terminals of the relay resistor module and the wiring connector that
powers the module may be incapable of conducting higher current levels for sustained periods of
blower motor operation. In addition, moisture and other contaminants may enter the fresh air intake
plenum and contact the internal circuit of the module or corrode the terminals. Either of the above
may cause the relay resistor module or wiring connector to overheat, resulting in one or more of the
following symptoms:
- The HVAC blower may not function on certain or all blower speed settings
- A burning plastic smell or smoke may be present in the vehicle
- The HVAC blower may run continually with the ignition in the OFF position
In very rare events, if the above symptoms are ignored, a fire could occur.

HVAC CONTROL MODULE
The HVAC control module is a class 2 device that interfaces between the operator and the HVAC
system to maintain air temperature and distribution settings. The battery positive voltage circuit
provides power that the control module uses for keep alive memory (KAM). If the battery positive
voltage circuit loses power, all HVAC DTCs and settings will be erased from KAM. The body
control module (BCM), which is the vehicle mode master, provides a device on signal. The control
module supports the above features.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2-wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and a low-reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0.5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the above conditions.
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

Currently, technicians cannot accurately determine the air conditioning (A/C) low pressure switch
open/close pressure point by measuring pressure at the low side service port. This is because the
evaporator is between the low side service port and the A/C low pressure switch. Correlating
pressures measured at the low side service port to actual pressures at the A/C low pressure switch
port is difficult because of the multiple variables that impact pressure drop across the evaporator.
Providing a pressure range that would take into account all these variables would result in a
pressure range that would be too broad to be useful for diagnostic purposes. Kent Moore special
tool GE-47742 will allow technicians to monitor the actual pressures at which the A/C low pressure
switch opens and closes under actual operating conditions.
Technicians are to use the following steps to install and use Kent Moore special tool GE-47742 to
measure A/C low pressure switch opening and closing pressures:
1. Disconnect the wire harness from the A/C low pressure switch. 2. Remove the A/C low pressure
switch from the accumulator. 3. Install the A/C low pressure switch, using the threaded port with an
O-ring, onto special tool GE-47742. 4. Install special tool GE-47742, with the A/C low pressure
switch attached, onto the accumulator.
Important Removing the seal from the A/C low pressure switch wire harness connector is required.
Failure to remove the seal before plugging it into the switch will lead to misdiagnosis. The "plunger
effect" of plugging the connector with a seal into the A/C low pressure switch induces a pressure
on the back side of the switch. This pressure will skew the opening/closing characteristics of the
switch 34-69 kPa (5-10 psi) until the pressure bleeds off. The time required for the connection
induced pressure to bleed off can be 20 minutes or longer.
5. Remove the seal from the A/C low pressure switch wire harness connector. 6. Connect the wire
harness, without the seal, to the A/C low pressure switch. 7. Connect the low side service hose
from the ACR2000(R) or GE-48800 to the service port on special tool GE-47742. 8. Connect a
Tech2(R) to the vehicle. 9. Start the vehicle and maintain an engine speed of 1500 RPM. Set the
HVAC controls as follows:
- Set the A/C control switch to ON.
- Set the mode control switch to A/C and engage recirculation mode.
- Set the blower motor speed to LOW.
- Set the temperature control to full cold.
- Set the auxiliary blower motor speed to LOW. If equipped.
- Set the auxiliary temperature control to full cold. If equipped.
- The vehicle must be operating with no sun load (in the shade).
10. Use the Tech2(R) to determine the A/C low pressure switch status and the ACR2000(R) or
GE-48800 to determine the A/C low side pressure.
Simultaneously monitor the switch status and the pressure at which the A/C low pressure switch
opens and closes. The Tech2(R) will display switch status as "Normal" for Closed and "Low
Pressure" for Open. A properly operating switch should open between 138-172 kPa (20-25 psi)

and close between 275-317 kPa (40-46 psi).
11. Remove special tool GE-47742 after diagnosis is complete. 12. Install a new O-ring on the A/C
low pressure switch port on the accumulator. Lightly coat the new O-ring seal with mineral base
525 viscosity
refrigerant oil.
13. Install the A/C low pressure switch onto the accumulator.
Tighten Tighten the A/C low pressure switch to 6 Nm (44 lb in).
Important Remember to install the seal back onto the A/C low pressure switch wire harness
connector. Failure to replace the seal could result in terminal corrosion.
14. Reconnect the wire harness to the A/C low pressure switch.

Low Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could
damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing. The HVAC control module applies 5 volts
to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch will open when the A/C low side pressure
reaches 165-200 kPa (24-29 psi). This prevents the A/C compressor from operating. The switch
will then close when A/C low pressure side reaches 275-310 kPa (40-45 psi). This enables the A/C
compressor to turn back ON.
The low pressure switch uses refrigerant pressure to open and close a set of electrical contacts.
When A/C request is authorized, the switch is closed and shows normal status. During this state,
the switch will show 0 volts on the A/C low pressure sensor signal circuit. When A/C request is
denied due to a low pressure condition, the switch will be open. During this state, the switch will
show 5 volts on the A/C low pressure sensor signal circuit.

Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair Seat Belt System
REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER A COLLISION
CAUTION: 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.

The redesigned steering column has a convoluted style intermediate shaft (Figs.1.22.and 1.23).
The C1500 has one convoluted area, while all other models have two. These convoluted areas
must be inspected for damage after every airbag deployment. Test the straightness of the shaft at
various locations along the convoluted area by placing a straight edge against the intermediate
shaft. The intermediate shaft must be replaced if bent or damaged.

SIR Disabling and Enabling
The SIR Identification Views shown below illustrate the approximate location of all SIR components
available for the vehicle. This will assist in determining the appropriate SIR Disabling and Enabling
for a given service procedure. Refer to See: Locations/SIR Zone Identification Views
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
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.
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.
Important: 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. 4. Wait 1 minute before working on
the system.

Power Steering Pump: All Technical Service Bulletins Recall 04V045000: Possible Hydro-Boost
Defect
DEFECT: Certain sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and passenger vans fail to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Passenger Car Brake Systems."
Some of these vehicles were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief
valve bore. Consequently, the valve O-ring seal may fracture. Steering efforts may be slightly
increased while braking or parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal may also
require an increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same vehicle deceleration.
REMEDY: Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. The manufacturer has reported that
owner notification is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2004. Owners may contact

The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is a microprocessor and the control center for the SIR
system. The SDM contains internal sensors along with several external sensors, if equipped,
mounted at various locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the SDM performs
calculations using the signals received from the internal and external sensors. The SDM compares
the results of the calculations to values stored in memory. When these calculations exceed the
stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate deployment loops to
deploy the air bags. The SDM records the SIR system status when a deployment occurs and
requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. The SDM performs
continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the
ignition is turned ON. If the SDM detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the SDM will
request the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. In the event that ignition 1 voltage is lost during
a collision, the SDM maintains a 23-volt loop reserve (23 VLR) for deployment of the air bags. It is
important to note, when disabling the SIR system for servicing or rescue operations to allow the 23
VLR to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Front End Sensors
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT END SENSORS
The front end sensors are equipped on vehicles to supplement the SIR system performance. The
front end sensors are electronic and are not part of the deployment loops, but instead provide
inputs to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The front end sensors can assist in
determining the severity of some frontal collisions. The SDM uses the input from the front end
sensors to assist in determining the severity of a frontal collision further supporting air bag
deployment. If the SDM determines a deployment is warranted, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the deployment loops deploying the frontal air bags.

INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (SIS) (RIGHT) WITH RPO HP2
The right side impact sensor (SIS) contains a sensing device which monitors vehicle acceleration
and velocity changes to detect side collisions that are severe enough to warrant disabling the
42-volt system. The SIS is not part of the deployment loop, but instead provides an input to the
sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). When the SDM receives a signal from the SIS that a
collision has occurred, the SDM communicates this over the vehicles communication bus. The
module responsible for the 42-volt system receives this message and disables the 42-volt system.

Impact Sensor: Service and Repair Sensor Replacement Guidelines
SENSOR REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES
The SIR 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. For example, a moderate collision where the front of the vehicle
impacts a tree. If the vehicle has an SIR sensor mounted forward of the radiator, it must be
replaced.
- Replace the sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed.
- Replace the sensor even if it 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 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.

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.

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.

Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation
AIR BAG INDICATOR
The AIR BAG indicator, located on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) is used to notify the driver of
SIR system malfunctions and to verify that the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is
communicating with the IPC. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM is supplied with ignition 1
voltage and requests the IPC to flash the AIR BAG indicator 7 times. While flashing the indicator,
the SDM conducts test on all SIR system components and circuits. If no malfunctions are detected
the SDM will communicate with the IPC through the class 2 serial data circuit and request the IPC
to turn the AIR BAG indicator OFF. The SDM provides continuous monitoring of the air bag circuits
by conducting a sequence of checks. If a malfunction is detected the SDM will store a DTC and
request the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. The presence of a SIR system malfunction
could result in non-deployment of the air bags. The AIR BAG indicator will remain ON until the
malfunction has been repaired.

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.

Inflatable Restraint Sensing And Diagnostic Module: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM)
The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is a microprocessor and the control center for the SIR
system. The SDM contains internal sensors along with several external sensors, if equipped,
mounted at various locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the SDM performs
calculations using the signals received from the internal and external sensors. The SDM compares
the results of the calculations to values stored in memory. When these calculations exceed the
stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate deployment loops to
deploy the air bags. The SDM records the SIR system status when a deployment occurs and
requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. The SDM performs
continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the
ignition is turned ON. If the SDM detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the SDM will
request the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. In the event that ignition 1 voltage is lost during
a collision, the SDM maintains a 23-volt loop reserve (23 VLR) for deployment of the air bags. It is
important to note, when disabling the SIR system for servicing or rescue operations to allow the 23
VLR to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute.

SIR Disabling and Enabling
The SIR Identification Views shown below illustrate the approximate location of all SIR components
available for the vehicle. This will assist in determining the appropriate SIR Disabling and Enabling
for a given service procedure. Refer to See: Air Bag Systems/Locations/SIR Zone Identification
Views
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
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.
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.
Important: 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.

CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V163000 RECALL DATE: April 22, 2005
COMPONENT: Seat Belts: Rear
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 1359824
SUMMARY: On certain crew cab pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, the 2nd row center
occupant seat belt routing may make it difficult to position the lap portion of the safety belt low
around the hips of occupants, especially smaller occupants, seated in this position. Appropriate use
of a child seat or booster seat, as recommended for small children, does improve the fit condition
for this user group. In addition to instructions on proper infant and young child restraint (with child
seats or boosters), special verbiage for restraining older child is included in the owner's manual
text.
CONSEQUENCE: A lap portion of the seat belt routing that is not low and snug on the hips can
allow the lap belt to ride up on an occupant's abdomen instead of fitting low around their hipbones,
and therefore, can expose them to more risk of abdominal and internal organ injury.
REMEDY: Dealers will cut open the guide loop, remove a portion of the loop, and then the
remaining two sides should be folded over and secured with a retainer. The manufacturer has not
yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact Cadillac at
1-866-982-2339, Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, or Hummer at
1-800-732-5493.
NOTES: GM recall No. 05037. Customers can also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.

Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2003-2005 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT; Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado
Crew Cab, Suburban, Tahoe; GMC Sierra Crew Cab, Yukon, Yukon XL; and 2004-2005 HUMMER
H2 vehicles. On these vehicles, the seat loop in the second row center seating position may make
it difficult to position the lap portion of the safety belt low around the hips of the occupant. In the
event of a vehicle accident, if the lap portion of the safety belt routing is not low and snug on the
hips, it may not properly restrain the occupant and could increase the risk of abdominal injury.
Correction
Dealers are to eliminate the seat loop by removing the safety belt from the loop and stitching the
loop closed.

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

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 99-09-40-005F
Date: June 23, 2010
Subject: Seat Belt Extender Availability
Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009 and Prior
HUMMER H2 2010 and Prior HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
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.

FASTEN SAFETY BELT INDICATOR
The fasten safety belt indicator may only be illuminated during RUN. The instrument panel cluster
(IPC) illuminates the fasten safety belt indicator under the following conditions:
- During bulb check.
- The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) sends the status of the driver's seat
belt switch to the IPC via a class 2 message. If the driver's seat belt is unfastened, the IPC will
illuminate the fasten safety belt indicator for 72 seconds or until the driver's seat belt is fastened. If
the driver's seat belt is unfastened within 8 seconds following the bulb check, the IPC will send a
class 2 serial message requesting 5 chimes to sound.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Front End Sensors
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT END SENSORS
The front end sensors are equipped on vehicles to supplement the SIR system performance. The
front end sensors are electronic and are not part of the deployment loops, but instead provide
inputs to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The front end sensors can assist in
determining the severity of some frontal collisions. The SDM uses the input from the front end
sensors to assist in determining the severity of a frontal collision further supporting air bag
deployment. If the SDM determines a deployment is warranted, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the deployment loops deploying the frontal air bags.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Side Impact Sensor (SIS) (Right) With RPO HP2
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (SIS) (RIGHT) WITH RPO HP2
The right side impact sensor (SIS) contains a sensing device which monitors vehicle acceleration
and velocity changes to detect side collisions that are severe enough to warrant disabling the
42-volt system. The SIS is not part of the deployment loop, but instead provides an input to the
sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). When the SDM receives a signal from the SIS that a
collision has occurred, the SDM communicates this over the vehicles communication bus. The

Impact Sensor: Service and Repair Sensor Replacement Guidelines
SENSOR REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES
The SIR 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. For example, a moderate collision where the front of the vehicle
impacts a tree. If the vehicle has an SIR sensor mounted forward of the radiator, it must be
replaced.
- Replace the sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed.
- Replace the sensor even if it 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 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.

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

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.

Navigation and OnStar(R) systems require a GPS antenna in order to function properly. This
antenna may be located inside the vehicle. If the GPS antenna is located inside the vehicle,
performance of the system may be compromised by window tinting film.
If the GPS system performance is in question and the vehicle has window tinting, a quick
diagnostic check can be made by temporarily moving the GPS antenna to an external vehicle
surface, such as the decklid or roof. If the GPS function of the navigation or On Star(R) system
operates normally with the antenna relocated the repair would not be considered a warranty repair.
The subsequent repair procedure or GPS placement would be up to the customer.
Some vehicles have the GPS antenna located on the rear window shelf Objects placed on the rear
window shelf such as tissue boxes, books, dolls, etc,, also have the potential to interfere with GPS
performance.
Warranty Information
Repairs made to the vehicle navigation and/or OnStar(R) system, which are the result of window
tinting, are not considered warranty repairs.

Important:
If glass replacement is required, both the Cellular Antenna Kit and the Cellular Antenna Inner
Coupling are required. The kits listed contain all the necessary parts and instructions needed to
properly install a new cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling to the glass surface. To
obtain maximum adhesion during installation, the instructions included in the kits must be followed
carefully and exactly as written.
Important:
Do not attempt to reinstall the original cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling using any
type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the
glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system that includes air bag deployment
notification.
Important:
To obtain maximum adhesion between the new cellular exterior base or interior coupling and the
glass surface, the base, coupling and glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the
installation and for the 24 hours immediately following the installation. Not keeping the vehicle dry
and above the temperature listed for 24 hours may result in the new cellular antenna exterior base
or interior coupling coming off.

Replacement parts for the OnStar(R) system cellular antenna are available as follows:
^ Cellular Antenna Kit - If the antenna mast or exterior base is damaged or missing or if the
antenna base has separated from the exterior glass surface.
^ Cellular Antenna Inner Coupling - If the antenna coupling on the inside of the glass requires
replacement.
Important:
If glass replacement is required, both the Cellular Antenna Kit and the Cellular Antenna Inner
Coupling are required. The kits listed contain all the necessary parts and instructions needed to
properly install a new cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling to the glass surface. To
obtain maximum adhesion during installation, the instructions included in the kits must be followed
carefully and exactly as written.
Important:
Do not attempt to reinstall the original cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling using any
type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the
glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system that includes air bag deployment
notification.
Important:
To obtain maximum adhesion between the new cellular exterior base or interior coupling and the
glass surface, the base, coupling and glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the
installation and for the 24 hours immediately following the installation. Not keeping the vehicle dry
and above the temperature listed for 24 hours may result in the new cellular antenna exterior base
or interior coupling coming off.

Antenna, Navigation: Description and Operation
CELLULAR AND NAVIGATION ANTENNAS
This vehicle will be equipped with either separate cellular and navigation antennas, or a
combination cellular and navigation antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part.
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the Onstar(R) system to send and receive data
over airwaves by means of cellular technology. This antenna is connected at the base to a coax
cable that plugs directly into the vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). The navigation
antenna is used to collect the constant signals of the orbiting satellites. Within the antenna, is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
current global positioning system (GPS) location is collected by the module every time a keypress
is made. The Onstar(R) Call Center also has the capability of pinging the vehicle during an
Onstar(R) call, which commands the module to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to
the Onstar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in
the module and marked as aged. In the event the VCP loses, or is removed from power, this
history location is used by the Onstar(R) Call Center as a default. Actual GPS location may take up
to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. This antenna requires a clear and
unobstructed path to the satellites in the sky. Window tinting on vehicles may interfere with the
GPS sensor functions, depending upon the amount of darkening and/or metallic particles that are
embedded in the film of the tinting material.

PASSLOCK(TM) SENSOR
The Passlock(TM) sensor is inside the ignition cylinder lock housing. The Passlock(TM) sensor
contains 2 hall effect sensors. The tamper hall effect sensor is on the top. The security hall effect
sensor is under the tamper hall effect sensor. Both of the hall effect sensors monitor the magnet of
the lock cylinder through an opening. The tamper hall effect sensor is physically placed on top of
the security hall effect sensor. This arrangement enables the tamper hall effect sensor to engage
first if an intruder attempts to bypass the Passlock(TM) sensor by placing a large magnet around
that area of the steering column. There is a tamper resistor inside the Passlock(TM) sensor in order
to help prevent tamper to the system. Passlock(TM) equipped vehicles have a selection of 10
different security resistors ranging from 0.5K ohms up to 13.6K ohms. Installing one of the security
resistors inside the Passlock(TM) sensor will generate a unique Passlock(TM) code. All 10
combinations of the Passlock(TM) sensor have the same part number. However, you cannot simply
replace the Passlock(TM) sensor and expect the system to operate properly. Always start by
performing the Diagnostic System Check first and following the instructions.

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.

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.

Bulletin No.: 03-00-89-021
Date: July 30, 2003
INFORMATION
Subject: New Vehicle Pre-Delivery Inspection - Perceived Fuel Economy and Driver Information
Center (DIC) Settings
Models: 2003-2004 Passenger Cars and Trucks 2003-2004 HUMMER H2 with Driver Information
Center (DIC)
The customer's initial perception of vehicle fuel economy, based upon the information displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC), may contribute to poor ratings for fuel economy in various
automotive surveys. The way the vehicle is handled during the build and shipping process may
leave inaccurate values in the history of the DIC.
During the pre-delivery inspection, the dealership must reset the "average fuel economy" setting.
Reset the average fuel economy setting according to the information in the appropriate Owner's
Manual. Once reset, the average fuel economy will then be calculated starting from that point.
The data used to determine fuel range is an average of recent driving conditions. This setting
cannot be reset. However, as the customer's driving conditions change, the data will be gradually
updated to reflect more accurate readings.
If a customer inquires about fuel economy, and the fuel consumption information is not on the price
sticker, do not exaggerate the vehicle's capabilities. In either case, stress that fuel economy
performance is highly dependent upon driving habits and vehicle usage.

Models
The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

During diagnosis of an OnStar(R) concern, the technician may be told that the OnStar(R) phone
number is incorrect or tied to another vehicle and/or phone of some kind. To resolve these
concerns, the Tech 2(R) with software version 22.005 (or higher), has the capability to change the
OnStar(R) phone number.
Service Procedure
1. With the Tech 2(R), build the vehicle to specifications within the Diagnostics area of the Tech
2(R). 2. For vehicles with physical-based diagnostics - under Body, go to the OnStar(R) section.
Then select the Special Functions menu.
For vehicles with functional-based diagnostics - under Body and Accessories, go to the Cellular
Communication section. Select Module Setup and then Vehicle Communication Interface Module.
3. Locate the Program Phone Number prompt and select it. The original phone number will be
displayed on the Tech 2(R) screen. 4. Contact the OnStar(R) team at the GM Technical Assistance
Center (TAC) to obtain a new phone number. 5. Highlight the digits of the phone number one at a
time and enter the new phone number using the number keys on the Tech 2(R). 6. Press the Soft
key at the base of the screen for Done once these numbers have been changed on the screen. 7.
Press the Soft key for Done again. The area code or new phone number has now been
programmed into the phone. 8. Cycle the ignition to Off and open the driver's door. 9. Press the
blue OnStar(R) button to make sure that a normal connection can be made to the OnStar(R) call
center. If applicable, make sure the
Hands-Free Calling (HFC) works properly by making a phone call.
10. If the system is working properly, fax or voicemail a case closing into the OnStar(R) team at
TAC with the results. Dealers in Canada should
submit case closing information through the GM infoNET.
Please follow this diagnostic 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
the procedure above does not resolve the condition, you must contact TAC for further assistance.
This diagnostic approach was developed specifically for this condition and should not automatically
be used for other vehicles with similar symptoms.

This bulletin does NOT apply to 2006 vehicles built AFTER the VIN breakpoints listed above. Refer
to applicable diagnostics in SI for those vehicles that exhibit this condition.
Remove the OnStar(R) fuse from the fuse box, wait five minutes and reinstall the fuse. (For Saturn
VUE vehicles, remove the "INT LTS" fuse from the I/P fuse block for five minutes, then reinstall the
fuse.) If the OnStar(R) system DOES NOT return to normal functionality, then follow the
diagnostics in SI for this condition.
If the OnStar(R) system DOES return to normal functionality, perform the following steps:
1. Install the Tech 2(R) and determine what generation hardware and software ID is in the vehicle.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with Generation 5 hardware and a software version 146, the VCIM
should have the B1000 reprogramming performed as described in Corporate Bulletin Number
04-08-46-004A. The system should be tested and if the concern returns, the VCIM should be
replaced.
3. If Gen 5 with a software version OTHER than 146 or Gen 6 and above, the VCIM needs to be
replaced and the system reconfigured.
Refer to the current version of Corporate Bulletin 03-08-46-004 for details on how to order a new

A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year, warranty information and to provide GPS
signal recovery steps (under Dealer Action heading) to do PRIOR to determining if the VIU/VCIM
needs replacement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body
& Accessories).
If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be
made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin #
05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be
deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada.
If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this
bulletin may not be applicable.
Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the
Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is
internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface
Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is
unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or
the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes.
Customer Notification
OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service
department.
Dealer Action
Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement.
The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable,
simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS
date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the
GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time
stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and
may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset.
To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The
preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below.
Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the
applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse).
The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is
contained.
The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not
only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored
personalization information/settings in other modules as well.
After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will
require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time.
Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky.
First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R)
Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10
minutes. Continue to

monitor the Tech2(R) for the current time and date. REMINDER - Keep in mind that the time
displayed on the Tech2(R) is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the offset is based on the time
zones relationship to GMT.
If replacement of the VIU/VCIM is necessary, you MUST reconfigure the OnStar® system. Failure
to reconfigure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. OnStar® VIU,
Generations 2 and 3, will require the technician to press the blue OnStar® button to reconfigure the
vehicle with an OnStar® advisor.
OnStar(R) VCIM, Generations 4-7 will require the technician to reconfigure the vehicle with the use
of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications (pass thru only), along with the Tech2(R).
The configuration and set-up procedure is a two-step process that must be completed step-by-step
without interruption or delay in between each step. This procedure enables an automated activation
without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Following this procedure, it
may take up to 24 hours for all OnStar(R) services to be fully activated.
How to Order Parts
If the OnStar(R) GPS date/time stamp is non-recoverable and the unit needs to be replaced,
dealers in the U.S. should contact Autocraft Electronics select the catalog item that contains this
bulletin number. Canadian dealers should contact MASS Electronics.
Dealers DO NOT need to call the GM Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for replacement
approval. Autocraft Electronics and MASS Electronics will be responsible for verifying that the
subject vehicle is a candidate for a replacement VIU/VCIM.

Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Emergency Contact Module: > 09-08-46-001
> Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 12718
^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The
vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC U1000 and U1255
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module
receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number
of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating
parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that
parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical
parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is
set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with
it, the DTC will only be reported once.
The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star
configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the
following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them:

Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following DTCs do not have a current status:
^ B1327
^ B1328
^ U1300
^ U1301

Models
The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

Disclaimer
Program Overview
Program Overview
To upgrade their vehicle to an OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system, all that a customer
must do is:
^ Take their vehicle to their dealer for the system upgrade.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Emergency Contact Module > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Emergency Contact Module: > 05-08-46-006Q
> Oct > 08 > OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade > Page 12779
^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year,
non-refundable OnStar(R)
Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans:
^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada)
^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada)
^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription:
^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX,
and WV
^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

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.

A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year, warranty information and to provide GPS
signal recovery steps (under Dealer Action heading) to do PRIOR to determining if the VIU/VCIM
needs replacement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body
& Accessories).
If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be
made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin #
05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be
deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada.
If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this
bulletin may not be applicable.
Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the
Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is
internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface
Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is
unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or
the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes.
Customer Notification
OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service
department.
Dealer Action
Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement.
The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable,
simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS
date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the
GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time
stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and
may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset.
To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The
preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below.
Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the
applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse).
The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is
contained.
The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not
only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored
personalization information/settings in other modules as well.
After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will
require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time.
Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky.
First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R)
Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10
minutes. Continue to

monitor the Tech2(R) for the current time and date. REMINDER - Keep in mind that the time
displayed on the Tech2(R) is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the offset is based on the time
zones relationship to GMT.
If replacement of the VIU/VCIM is necessary, you MUST reconfigure the OnStar® system. Failure
to reconfigure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. OnStar® VIU,
Generations 2 and 3, will require the technician to press the blue OnStar® button to reconfigure the
vehicle with an OnStar® advisor.
OnStar(R) VCIM, Generations 4-7 will require the technician to reconfigure the vehicle with the use
of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications (pass thru only), along with the Tech2(R).
The configuration and set-up procedure is a two-step process that must be completed step-by-step
without interruption or delay in between each step. This procedure enables an automated activation
without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Following this procedure, it
may take up to 24 hours for all OnStar(R) services to be fully activated.
How to Order Parts
If the OnStar(R) GPS date/time stamp is non-recoverable and the unit needs to be replaced,
dealers in the U.S. should contact Autocraft Electronics select the catalog item that contains this
bulletin number. Canadian dealers should contact MASS Electronics.
Dealers DO NOT need to call the GM Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for replacement
approval. Autocraft Electronics and MASS Electronics will be responsible for verifying that the
subject vehicle is a candidate for a replacement VIU/VCIM.

(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager.
General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Emergency Contact Module: > 09-08-46-001 >
Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 12841
these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Emergency Contact Module: > 09-08-46-001 >
Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 12842
^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The
vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC U1000 and U1255
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module
receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number
of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating
parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that
parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical
parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is
set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with
it, the DTC will only be reported once.
The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star
configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the
following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them:

Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following DTCs do not have a current status:
^ B1327
^ B1328
^ U1300
^ U1301
^ U1305
AND
^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number
within the last 5 seconds.

Models
The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX,
and WV
^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

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.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-08-46-004B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
When servicing any of the above models and a battery cable is disconnected or power to the
OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) is interrupted for any reason the
following procedure must be performed to verify proper Global Positioning System (GPS) function.
Never swap OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Modules (VCIM) from other vehicles.
Transfer of OnStar(R) modules from other vehicles should not be done. Each OnStar(R) module
has a unique identification number. The VCIM has a specific Station Identification (STID). This
identification number is used by the National Cellular Telephone Network and OnStar(R) systems
and is stored in General Motors Vehicle History files by VIN.
After completing ALL repairs to the vehicle you must perform the following procedure:
Move the vehicle into an open area of the service lot.
Sit in the vehicle with the engine running and the radio turned on for five minutes.
Press the OnStar(R) button in the vehicle.
When the OnStar(R) advisor answers ask the advisor to verify the current location of the vehicle.
If the vehicle location is different than the location the OnStar(R) advisor gives contact GM
Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in
the diagnosis of a failed VCIM and, if appropriate, order a replacement part. Replacement parts are
usually shipped out within 24 hours, and a pre-paid return package label will be included for
returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part, you will avoid a non-return core charge.

Non-Compliance
Make / Models : Model/Build Years: Chevrolet / Express 2003 Chevrolet / Silverado 2003-2004
GMC / Savana 2003 GMC / Sierra 2003-2004 MANUFACTURER: General Motors Corp. NHTSA
CAMPAIGN ID Number : 04V225000 Recall Date : MAY 10, 2004
COMPONENT: Seat Belts: Front: Anchorage
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 736
SUMMARY: certain extended and regular cab pickup trucks and cargo vans converted to
compressed natural gas (CNG) fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard NO. 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems." These vehicles have one seating
position, the center rear seat, equipped with child restraint lower anchorages.
CONSEQUENCE: The standard requires child seat lower anchorages in two seating positions for
vehicles with three rear seating positions. The standard cab and cargo van vehicles, which only
have front seating positions, have an air bag off switch to disable the front passenger air bag and
do not have child restraint lower anchorages in the passenger seat. The standard requires
passenger seat child seat lower anchorages in vehicles with an air bag off switch. however, the
standard does not require vehicles with only front seating positions to have lower anchorage
provisions if the vehicle is not equipped with an air bag off switch.
REMEDY: To bring the standard cab and cargo van vehicles into compliance, dealers will inject
epoxy into the air bag off switch to prevent air bag activation, relocate the switch behind the
instrument panel and then install a cover over the resulting opening. The sun visor label and
owner's manual will also be changed. the correction for the extended cab vehicle will consist of
changing the front passenger seat to a seat that has child restraint lower anchorages. The recall
began on September 9, 2004. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 OR GMC AT
1-866-996-9463.
NOTES: GM Recall NO. 04038. Customers can also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures
contained in the Service Data. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the
meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read
and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or
a shorted wire.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- 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.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
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. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13003
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.
Measuring Frequency
MEASURING FREQUENCY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
IMPORTANT: 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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.
- Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the
point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The
DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.

Probing Electrical Connectors
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit in order
to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals
and cause incorrect measurements.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13005
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: 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.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to 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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13006
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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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
1 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 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm 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 and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: 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 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 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.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
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
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. 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 msRECORD and emits 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 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 35616-C GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
- J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
- J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
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.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line 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, 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.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-D or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal
identification.
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-D, 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13008
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 J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
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. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 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 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 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
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
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, a DMM indicates how much 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
- 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it
may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13020
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
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13021
circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the
element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, 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.
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
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: 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-D.

SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-D. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: 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
Tools Required J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs 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 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 sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: 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 crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed 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:
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13024
- 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 sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
6. Place the 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 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. 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.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-D if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS 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 SIR/SRS mating terminals.
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.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation
GARAGE DOOR OPENER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The garage door opener is located in the overhead console. The valet switch provides battery
voltage to the garage door opener. If battery voltage is lost due to a condition such as a dead
battery, the garage door opener unit relies on the non-serviceable internal power backup supply.
The unit is programmed using the customer's hand-held transmitters for the garage doors, electric
entrance gates, or lighting and security systems.
The garage door opener is rolling code capable. Rolling code is a system that allows the code that
the customers receiver receives from the garage door opener to change every time the garage
door opener is used within operating range of the receiver. When the receiver and the garage door
opener are initially programmed together, a code is established, a new code is created for every
new transmission. The software in the receiver recognizes the garage door opener and accepts the
new code.
The garage door opener is compatible with most, but not all types and brands of transmitters. If a
problem should occur with a compatibility conflict with a transmitter, call HomeLink(TM) at
1-800-355-3515.
The garage door opener 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, refer to Garage Door Opener Programming - Universal.
The garage door opener has 3 buttons that may be programmed for individual transmitter/receiver
combinations to control up to 3 garage door openers, security gates, and lighting systems. 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.
Battery voltage is provided to the garage door opener from the IGN SEN fuse in the IP fuse block.
The garage door opener is grounded through G400. Inadvertent power is supplied from the body
control module (BCM).

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Service and Repair Garage Door Opener Programming Universal
GARAGE DOOR OPENER PROGRAMMING - UNIVERSAL
GARAGE DOOR OPENER PROGRAMMING
IMPORTANT: Do not use the garage door opener (GDO) with any garage door opener that does
not have the stop and reverse safety feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door
you are programming.
The GDO is programmed by using the customer's hand-held transmitter(s).
Turn the ignition OFF while programming the GDO transmitter. Follow these steps to program up to
3 channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down the 2
outside buttons on the GDO transmitter for
approximately 20 seconds, until the light on the GDO transmitter begins to flash rapidly. Then
release the buttons. This procedure erases any previous settings and initializes the memory for all
3 channels.
2. Decide which of the 3 channels you want to program to the transmitter you have. 3. Hold the end
of the hand-held transmitter against the front surface of the GDO (less than 1 inch) so you can still
see the light. 4. Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on
the GDO transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons through
Step 5.
IMPORTANT: The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types and brands of transmitters. If the
GDO light does not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the
transmitter used to program the GDO. Call HomeLink(tm) at 1-800-355-3515 in order to address
this problem.
5. Hold down the buttons on both transmitters until you see the light on the GDO transmitter flash
slowly and then rapidly. The rapid flashing, which
could take up to 90 seconds, indicates that the GDO transmitter has been programmed. Release
the buttons on both transmitters when the light starts to flash rapidly.
TRAINING THE GDO FOR ROLLING CODE RECEIVERS
This procedure is for training the customer's rolling code garage door openers to their GDO
transmitter. The GDO must already be programmed to its hand-held transmitter. The training
process below must be completed within 30 seconds or it must be repeated. 1. Locate the train
button on the garage door opener receiver. Refer to the operator's manual for the garage door
opener (or call HomeLink(tm) at
1-800-355-3515 for assistance). Follow instructions for the garage door opener in order to
determine when the unit is in train mode.
2. Return to the GDO transmitter in the vehicle, and press the button that you want trained for
rolling codes 3 times, for 1 second each time. If not
successfully programmed, try 2-5 seconds each time.
3. Press the button used again in order to verify that the GDO transmitter has been programmed.
You may use either the hand-held transmitter or the GDO to open the garage door.
The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types and brands of transmitters. If the GDO light
does not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the transmitter
used to program the GDO. Call HomeLink(TM) at 1-800-355-3515 in order to address compatibility
concerns.
ERASING CHANNELS
To erase programmed channels, hold down the 2 outside buttons until the light on the GDO
transmitter begins to flash. Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be reprogrammed using
the Garage Door Opener Programming and the Training GDO for Rolling Code Receivers
procedures.

This bulletin is being revised to update the model years, models and parts information. Please
discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-08-46-002 (Section 08 - Body & Accessories).
Replacement parts for the OnStar(R) system cellular antenna are available as follows:
^ Cellular Antenna Kit - If the antenna mast or exterior base is damaged or missing or if the
antenna base has separated from the exterior glass surface.
^ Cellular Antenna Inner Coupling - If the antenna coupling on the inside of the glass requires
replacement.
Important:
If glass replacement is required, both the Cellular Antenna Kit and the Cellular Antenna Inner
Coupling are required. The kits listed contain all the necessary parts and instructions needed to
properly install a new cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling to the glass surface. To
obtain maximum adhesion during installation, the instructions included in the kits must be followed
carefully and exactly as written.
Important:
Do not attempt to reinstall the original cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling using any
type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the
glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system that includes air bag deployment
notification.
Important:
To obtain maximum adhesion between the new cellular exterior base or interior coupling and the
glass surface, the base, coupling and glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the
installation and for the 24 hours immediately following the installation. Not keeping the vehicle dry
and above the temperature listed for 24 hours may result in the new cellular antenna exterior base
or interior coupling coming off.
Parts Information
Parts are currently available from GMSPO.

This bulletin is being revised to update the correction information. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-08-50-016B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that with repeated cycling of the memory seat between the "exit"
and one of the "presets", the position of the seat may "creep" forward or rearward out of expected
adjustment.
Cause
There is a coding deficiency in the software for the memory seat module.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the driver seat module with an updated software calibration. The
previous bulletin stated to use a service calibration that was released with TIS satellite data update
version 4.5. Feedback has proved that calibration to be ineffective in eliminating the memory seat
creep condition. An updated service calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version
6.5 available June 13, 2005. This new calibration has additional memory seat creep protection. As
always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
Important:
After programming is complete, move the seat all the way rearward and down, then bump the seat
slightly forward and up. This position will be just off the end of travel hard stops. Reset both
memory seat exit positions at this position. Having the seat set at just off the hard stops will aid in
reducing the creep condition.

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.

The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

DVD Navigation Update Program
The data on the DVD map disc ages at a rate of 15-20% per year. As the data ages, the
functionality of the navigation system declines. Offering GM customers new navigation DVDs will
ensure that the customers have the latest information for their system.
General Motors offered a Navigation Disc Update Program for 2006 and 2007 model year vehicles.
This program concluded on December 31, 2009. The DVD Navigation Update Program policy has
changed and customers are no longer eligible for free annual updates, however, a navigation DVD
update disc can be purchased for $199 (USD) + shipping.
If the navigation disc is needed for a warranty situation, the disc can be purchased for $120 (USD).
The dealer must provide a VIN and RO# to qualify for the reduced price. The dealer must call the
GM Navigation Disc Center, as this option is not available on the website.
The GM Navigation Disc Center launched on March 15, 2006. There are two ways to obtain an
updated disc:
- Via the web through gmnavdisc.com
- GM Navigation Disc Center
Navigation Disc Diagnostic Aid
The following table can be used to identify acceptable discs for testing the navigation unit's map
drive functionality. This should only be used to verify the map drive's ability to read the map disc
properly and to determine if there is an issue with the unit's map drive or the disc. Some functions,
such as voice recognition, may not work properly with some of the discs in the list. If the disc is
found to be defective always contact the GM Navigation Disc Center to obtain the most recent disc
for the vehicle.
AVN Software Update Discs
Technical Service Bulletins are sometimes generated to address specific navigation radio
operational or performance issues. When a navigation radio bulletin is issued, it may contain
instructions to utilize an advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update with a specific part
number. GM dealers must order advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update discs as
directed in the specific bulletin.
AVN software update discs are for the dealer to update the navigation radio software only. They do
NOT update or replace the navigation map disc that is supplied with the vehicle. Please order
these parts only as needed. There is a limited supply of these discs available. Do not order these
discs for stock. AVN software update discs can be used to reprogram more than one vehicle. The
first update disc for each P/N is free. Subsequent copies of the same P/N for the same dealer will
cost $50 (USD).
To obtain an AVN software update disc, follow the specific ordering information provided in the
bulletin.

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

Bulletin No.: 09-08-46-001
Date: April 09, 2009
Subject: Servicing Vehicles Upgraded to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital‐Capable System
(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager.
General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

- Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 13197
OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Navigation System: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R)
- Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 13198
these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

- Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 13199
^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The
vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC U1000 and U1255
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module
receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number
of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating
parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that
parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical
parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is
set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with
it, the DTC will only be reported once.
The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star
configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the
following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them:

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.

This bulletin is being revised to update the model years involved, the radio part number list, remove
the PQC parts restriction and revise the diagnostic information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 08-08-44-010E (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Recent part reviews indicate that the majority of Navigation Radios returned for analysis do not test
as defective. In many cases, published SI documents were available to correct the condition
without the need for an exchange unit. The following Diagnostic Tips may assist with the proper
diagnosis and repair of Navigation Radio Concerns.
Note
For U.S. dealers the 2009 and 2010 Model Year Navigation Radios are currently on restriction
through the Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Refer to PI PIC5102. To order Radios and
Instrument Panel Clusters (IPC) for 2008 and prior model year vehicles, please continue to follow
the normal process and contact an authorized Electronic Service Center (ESC) for assistance.
For any Navigation Radio replaced, a copy of the Repair Order (RO) must be included with the
returned radio. Be sure to document the customer's concern in detail, including unusual noises and
what functions are affected. List any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) on the RO.
Ensure the radio is sufficiently protected during shipping to prevent damage to the radio assembly.
Note
Navigation Radios with physical damage (for example: shattered displays, impact damage to the
radio face and fluid damage) must be reviewed with the District Service Manager for appropriate
coverage prior to replacing the radio. The dealership must note the District Service Manager's
approval on the Repair Order, along with the reason for the goodwill assistance. Do NOT
disassemble the radio to try and retrieve stuck CDs/DVDs as this may result in a debit to the
dealership. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-08-44-015, Information on Inappropriate
Warranty Claims submitted for Damaged Radios and Instrument Panel Clusters.

Models
The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade > Page 13282
^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year,
non-refundable OnStar(R)
Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans:
^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada)
^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada)
^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription:
^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX,
and WV
^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

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.

with Navigation Radio
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform technicians and customers that the Navigation Radio may
not display the vehicle location icon on the map accurately after a radio or battery has been
replaced or after battery power has been removed from the radio. The vehicle location icon
accuracy may be degraded if the GPS signal is not available and the GPS displayed icon has a red
line through it.
The Navigation Radio does not keep learned GPS information or gyroscope and vehicle speed
signals stored when the battery power is removed from the radio. The Navigation radio continually
uses GPS, gyroscope and vehicle speed data to maintain the vehicle location icon positioned
accurately on the displayed map. There may be periods of time during a drive cycle when the GPS
signal may not be available and the vehicle location icon still appears to be accurate. This is due to
the radio having internal gyroscopes and receiving a vehicle speed signal to maintain accuracy if
the radio had received a good GPS signal earlier in the drive cycle.
Normal driving will improve the accuracy of the vehicle location icon on the displayed map. It may
be necessary for the vehicle to be driven up to 40 km (25 mi) with 15 left and 15 right turns while
the vehicle location icon is matched to roads on the displayed map. Do not replace the radio for this
condition.

When servicing any of the above models and a battery cable is disconnected or power to the
OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) is interrupted for any reason the
following procedure must be performed to verify proper Global Positioning System (GPS) function.
Never swap OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Modules (VCIM) from other vehicles.
Transfer of OnStar(R) modules from other vehicles should not be done. Each OnStar(R) module
has a unique identification number. The VCIM has a specific Station Identification (STID). This
identification number is used by the National Cellular Telephone Network and OnStar(R) systems
and is stored in General Motors Vehicle History files by VIN.
After completing ALL repairs to the vehicle you must perform the following procedure:
Move the vehicle into an open area of the service lot.
Sit in the vehicle with the engine running and the radio turned on for five minutes.
Press the OnStar(R) button in the vehicle.
When the OnStar(R) advisor answers ask the advisor to verify the current location of the vehicle.
If the vehicle location is different than the location the OnStar(R) advisor gives contact GM
Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in
the diagnosis of a failed VCIM and, if appropriate, order a replacement part. Replacement parts are
usually shipped out within 24 hours, and a pre-paid return package label will be included for
returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part, you will avoid a non-return core charge.

A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

Attention:
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform dealership personnel of a new procedure for obtaining a
replacement navigation disc for radios that are sent to an ESC for exchange. This bulletin applies
to U.S. and Canadian dealers only and is not intended for use by export dealers.
When a navigation radio warranty exchange is performed, the customer must have a navigation
disc to operate the new radio. If the customer's navigation disc was damaged or is stuck in the
failed radio, the customer would have to wait for an excessive period of time for the disc to be
returned or replaced. The Electronic Service Centers (ESC) are not authorized to remove stuck
navigation discs from cores, as the cores must be returned to the supplier for analysis prior to any
disassembly. The time it would take for the supplier to return the navigation disc would significantly
delay the completion of the repair at the dealership.
If the customer's navigation disc is damaged or cannot be removed from the radio, the dealership
is to obtain an exchange radio through an ESC and a new navigation disc through the GM
Navigation Disc Center. Both items can be shipped overnight to the dealership upon request.
GM Navigation Disc Center Contact Information
Via the web through gmnavdisc.com
The GM Navigation Disc Center is also the center of expertise for navigation system questions.
Warranty Information
Include the part number and cost of the new navigation disc on the warranty claim for the
navigation radio exchange.

DVD Navigation Update Program
The data on the DVD map disc ages at a rate of 15-20% per year. As the data ages, the
functionality of the navigation system declines. Offering GM customers new navigation DVDs will
ensure that the customers have the latest information for their system.
General Motors offered a Navigation Disc Update Program for 2006 and 2007 model year vehicles.
This program concluded on December 31, 2009. The DVD Navigation Update Program policy has
changed and customers are no longer eligible for free annual updates, however, a navigation DVD
update disc can be purchased for $199 (USD) + shipping.
If the navigation disc is needed for a warranty situation, the disc can be purchased for $120 (USD).
The dealer must provide a VIN and RO# to qualify for the reduced price. The dealer must call the
GM Navigation Disc Center, as this option is not available on the website.
The GM Navigation Disc Center launched on March 15, 2006. There are two ways to obtain an
updated disc:
- Via the web through gmnavdisc.com
- GM Navigation Disc Center
Navigation Disc Diagnostic Aid
The following table can be used to identify acceptable discs for testing the navigation unit's map
drive functionality. This should only be used to verify the map drive's ability to read the map disc
properly and to determine if there is an issue with the unit's map drive or the disc. Some functions,
such as voice recognition, may not work properly with some of the discs in the list. If the disc is
found to be defective always contact the GM Navigation Disc Center to obtain the most recent disc
for the vehicle.
AVN Software Update Discs
Technical Service Bulletins are sometimes generated to address specific navigation radio
operational or performance issues. When a navigation radio bulletin is issued, it may contain
instructions to utilize an advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update with a specific part
number. GM dealers must order advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update discs as
directed in the specific bulletin.
AVN software update discs are for the dealer to update the navigation radio software only. They do
NOT update or replace the navigation map disc that is supplied with the vehicle. Please order
these parts only as needed. There is a limited supply of these discs available. Do not order these
discs for stock. AVN software update discs can be used to reprogram more than one vehicle. The
first update disc for each P/N is free. Subsequent copies of the same P/N for the same dealer will
cost $50 (USD).
To obtain an AVN software update disc, follow the specific ordering information provided in the
bulletin.

(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager.
General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Navigation System: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 13348
OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 2 (2004))

Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Navigation System: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 13349
these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Navigation System: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 13350
^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The
vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC U1000 and U1255
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module
receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number
of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating
parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that
parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical
parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is
set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with
it, the DTC will only be reported once.
The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star
configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the
following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them:

Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following DTCs do not have a current status:
^ B1327
^ B1328
^ U1300
^ U1301
^ U1305
AND
^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number
within the last 5 seconds.

Date: October 28, 2008
Subject: Information on Upgrading Certain OnStar(R) Analog/Digital-Ready Systems to OnStar(R)
Generation 6 Digital-Capable System
Models
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the upgrade kit installation information for the 2001
Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006P
(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and procedures to follow
should an owner wish to upgrade their OnStar(R) Analog/Digital-Ready system to an OnStar(R)
Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Disclaimer
Program Overview
Program Overview
To upgrade their vehicle to an OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system, all that a customer
must do is:
^ Take their vehicle to their dealer for the system upgrade.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Navigation System > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Navigation System: > 05-08-46-006Q > Oct > 08 > OnStar(R) Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade > Page 13395
^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year,
non-refundable OnStar(R)
Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans:
^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada)
^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada)
^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription:
^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX,
and WV
^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Navigation System: > 05-08-46-006Q > Oct > 08 > OnStar(R) Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade > Page 13399
^ On 2002 Sevilles and DeVilles, the GPS jumper cable MUST be unclipped from the back seat
cross brace, or unplugged from the VCIM first. DO NOT pull back on the mounting bracket until the
GPS antenna jumper cable is unclipped from the back seat cross brace or unplugged from the
VCIM. The short length of jumper cable does not allow the VCIM mounting bracket to be pulled
back very far, and could lead to a break at the VCIM connector.
^ On 2000-2002 Bonnevilles and LeSabres and 2001-2002 Auroras you will need to follow these
steps:
1. Remove the 4 nuts that secure the VCU/VIU bracket assembly to the rear seat back brace.
Note:
Save these nuts for later use.
2. Remove and discard the plastic VCU/VIU bracket assembly from the vehicle.
3. Remove the upper right stud (1) from the rear seat back brace and re-install in the middle lower
slot (2) on the brace. Tighten the fastener to 4 Nm (36 lb in).
4. Position the new VCIM in the vehicle over the studs on the rear seat back brace.
5. Install two of the nuts saved from step (1). Tighten the nuts to 4 Nm (36 lb in).
6. Connect the new OnStar jumper harness supplied in the kit to the VCIM (two white connectors)
and the body wiring harness (C345 connector).
7. Connect the small coaxial jumper cable supplied in the kit, to the VCIM, with the end that has a
blue plastic housing connector. Plug the other end of this coaxial jumper cable to the OnStar Global
Positioning Satellite (GPS) antenna coaxial cable at the right angle connector.
Note:
The GPS cable in the new OnStar jumper harness is not utilized.
8. Connect the cellular coaxial cable to the OnStar VCIM.
On 2001 Impala and Monte Carlos you will need to follow these steps:
9. Remove the Vehicle Communications Unit (VCU) and Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) following the

19. Connect small coax cable jumper from VCIM to the OnStar(R) Global Positioning Satellite
(GPS) antenna coaxial cable at the connector previously left in the vehicle (short jumper removed
from old harness in step 5.10).
20. Connect the cellular coaxial cable previously left in vehicle to the OnStar(R) VCIM.
21. Verify that all harnesses are properly secured in vehicle.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

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.

with Navigation Radio
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform technicians and customers that the Navigation Radio may
not display the vehicle location icon on the map accurately after a radio or battery has been
replaced or after battery power has been removed from the radio. The vehicle location icon
accuracy may be degraded if the GPS signal is not available and the GPS displayed icon has a red
line through it.
The Navigation Radio does not keep learned GPS information or gyroscope and vehicle speed
signals stored when the battery power is removed from the radio. The Navigation radio continually
uses GPS, gyroscope and vehicle speed data to maintain the vehicle location icon positioned
accurately on the displayed map. There may be periods of time during a drive cycle when the GPS
signal may not be available and the vehicle location icon still appears to be accurate. This is due to
the radio having internal gyroscopes and receiving a vehicle speed signal to maintain accuracy if
the radio had received a good GPS signal earlier in the drive cycle.
Normal driving will improve the accuracy of the vehicle location icon on the displayed map. It may
be necessary for the vehicle to be driven up to 40 km (25 mi) with 15 left and 15 right turns while
the vehicle location icon is matched to roads on the displayed map. Do not replace the radio for this
condition.

When servicing any of the above models and a battery cable is disconnected or power to the
OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) is interrupted for any reason the
following procedure must be performed to verify proper Global Positioning System (GPS) function.
Never swap OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Modules (VCIM) from other vehicles.
Transfer of OnStar(R) modules from other vehicles should not be done. Each OnStar(R) module
has a unique identification number. The VCIM has a specific Station Identification (STID). This
identification number is used by the National Cellular Telephone Network and OnStar(R) systems
and is stored in General Motors Vehicle History files by VIN.
After completing ALL repairs to the vehicle you must perform the following procedure:
Move the vehicle into an open area of the service lot.
Sit in the vehicle with the engine running and the radio turned on for five minutes.
Press the OnStar(R) button in the vehicle.
When the OnStar(R) advisor answers ask the advisor to verify the current location of the vehicle.
If the vehicle location is different than the location the OnStar(R) advisor gives contact GM
Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in
the diagnosis of a failed VCIM and, if appropriate, order a replacement part. Replacement parts are
usually shipped out within 24 hours, and a pre-paid return package label will be included for
returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part, you will avoid a non-return core charge.

A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

with a Navigation Radio
Attention:
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform dealership personnel of a new procedure for obtaining a
replacement navigation disc for radios that are sent to an ESC for exchange. This bulletin applies
to U.S. and Canadian dealers only and is not intended for use by export dealers.
When a navigation radio warranty exchange is performed, the customer must have a navigation
disc to operate the new radio. If the customer's navigation disc was damaged or is stuck in the
failed radio, the customer would have to wait for an excessive period of time for the disc to be
returned or replaced. The Electronic Service Centers (ESC) are not authorized to remove stuck
navigation discs from cores, as the cores must be returned to the supplier for analysis prior to any
disassembly. The time it would take for the supplier to return the navigation disc would significantly
delay the completion of the repair at the dealership.
If the customer's navigation disc is damaged or cannot be removed from the radio, the dealership
is to obtain an exchange radio through an ESC and a new navigation disc through the GM
Navigation Disc Center. Both items can be shipped overnight to the dealership upon request.
GM Navigation Disc Center Contact Information
Via the web through gmnavdisc.com
The GM Navigation Disc Center is also the center of expertise for navigation system questions.
Warranty Information
Include the part number and cost of the new navigation disc on the warranty claim for the
navigation radio exchange.

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.

If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager.
General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Navigation System: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 13464
these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Navigation System: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) Generation 6 Service Procedures > Page 13465
^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The
vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC U1000 and U1255
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module
receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number
of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating
parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that
parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical
parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is
set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with
it, the DTC will only be reported once.
The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star
configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the
following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them:

Part 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following DTCs do not have a current status:
^ B1327
^ B1328
^ U1300
^ U1301
^ U1305

Models
The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year,
non-refundable OnStar(R)
Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans:
^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada)
^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada)
^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription:
^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX,
and WV
^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

Pedal Positioning Switch: Description and Operation
Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration Description and Operation Calibration Criteria
The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor receives a low reference signal and a 5-volt reference
signal from the electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS). Whenever the brake pedal is applied, the
brake pedal position sensor applies a variable voltage signal to the EHPS through the BPP sensor
signal circuit. Brake pedal position sensor calibration must be performed after the brake pedal
position sensor or EHPS system have been serviced. The calibration procedure will set brake
pedal position sensor home value. This value is used by the EHPS to determine the brake pedal
position and the brake pedal rate. These two outputs are provided to the hybrid control module
(HCM) via GMLAN.
Calibration Procedure
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Important:
Make sure the brake pedal is not depressed before sending BPP sensor calibration command.
Navigate to the Special Functions screen on the scan tool and select BPP Sensor Calibration in
order to perform the brake pedal position sensor calibration.

AUDIO AMPLIFIER
The audio amplifier is standard on some vehicle lines but is optional on most. The radio supplies
low level audio signals to the audio amplifier in order to boost the signal sent to the speakers. The
class 2 signal circuit allows the radio to recognize that an amplifier is present. Once the radio
detects an audio amplifier, it will output low level audio signals. The audio amplifier is turned on
when it receives a message via the class 2 serial data circuit indicating that the radio is on.

AMPLIFIER
The amplifier in early build vehicles is a class 2 device that communicates with the scan tool on the
Class 2 bus. The Class 2 amplifier will set a U100 in the radio if there is a communication problem.
The late build vehicles have a NON-Class 2 amplifier that does not communicate over the Class 2
bus and therefore the NON-Class 2 amplifier will not set codes. Both amplifiers have similar
operating characteristics, therefore, there are not separate diagnostics for the NON-Class 2
amplifier.

CD Changer: Description and Operation
REMOTE CD CHANGER (CDX)
The remote CD changer allows for multiple compact disks to be played continuously without having
to manually change compact discs. Normal size discs may be played using the slots supplied in the
magazine. The magazine must first be loaded with discs before it can played. To load CDs, insert
the CDs from bottom to top, placing the discs in the magazine label side up. If a disc is loaded label
side down, the disc will not play and an error will occur. Care should be used to align and insert the
disc into one disc tray only. Repeat this procedure for loading all of the discs in the magazine.
Once the discs are loaded into the magazine, push the magazine into the changer in the direction
of the arrow marked on the magazine. When the CD magazine is loaded, the changer will begin
checking for discs in the magazine. This will continue for up to one and a half minutes, depending
on the number of discs loaded. To eject the magazine from the player, push the CD changer door.
The door will open. Then press the eject button. NOTICE: If the CD magazine fails to eject after the
EJECT button has been pressed, do not attempt to pry the magazine from the CD changer.
Whenever a CD magazine with discs is loaded in the changer, the CD changer symbol will appear

Remote Control: Description and Operation Steering Wheel Controls
STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS
Some audio functions are available using the steering wheel controls. The steering wheel controls
consist of multiple momentary contact switches that connect a series of resistors. When a steering
wheel control button is pressed, a specific resistance value is noted by the body control module
(BCM). This results in a generated voltage, unique to the particular button. The BCM alerts the
radio that the button has been pressed, and the radio responds, just as if the corresponding radio
front panel button had been pressed.

RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SERIAL DATA CONTROL OF RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP)
The class 2 modules receive the power mode message from the body control module (BCM) over
the serial data circuits, indicating when the RAP power mode is current. The BCM monitors the
ignition switch position, battery condition and passenger compartment doors status to determine
whether RAP should be initiated. The modules then support the operation of the systems under
their control as required by their RAP power mode operation.
RAP will end when one of the following conditions is met: The BCM receives an input indicating the opening of any compartment door.
- The BCM internal timer for the RAP expires after approximately 10 minutes.
- The BCM detects a decrease in battery capacity below a prescribed limit.
The BCM then sends a serial data power mode message Off-Awake ending the RAP function.
The class 2 RAP functions are: The power windows
- The radio

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.

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.

The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

Notice:
Handle the fiber optic cables with care or the signal may be distorted.
^ It is very important that the two leads in the connector are not confused with one another.
^ Do not splice the cables.
^ Do not bend the cable in a radius smaller than 25 mm (1 in).
^ Do not expose the cable to temperatures exceeding 185°F (85°C).
^ Keep the cable ends free from dirt and grime.
^ Do not expose the cable to impact as this may cause the transparent plastic to whiten, thereby
reducing the intensity of the light and causing possible communication interruptions.
^ The cable should not lie against any sharp edges as this may cause increased signal attenuation.

concerns, the Tech 2(R) with software version 22.005 (or higher), has the capability to change the
OnStar(R) phone number.
Service Procedure
1. With the Tech 2(R), build the vehicle to specifications within the Diagnostics area of the Tech
2(R). 2. For vehicles with physical-based diagnostics - under Body, go to the OnStar(R) section.
Then select the Special Functions menu.
For vehicles with functional-based diagnostics - under Body and Accessories, go to the Cellular
Communication section. Select Module Setup and then Vehicle Communication Interface Module.
3. Locate the Program Phone Number prompt and select it. The original phone number will be
displayed on the Tech 2(R) screen. 4. Contact the OnStar(R) team at the GM Technical Assistance
Center (TAC) to obtain a new phone number. 5. Highlight the digits of the phone number one at a
time and enter the new phone number using the number keys on the Tech 2(R). 6. Press the Soft
key at the base of the screen for Done once these numbers have been changed on the screen. 7.
Press the Soft key for Done again. The area code or new phone number has now been
programmed into the phone. 8. Cycle the ignition to Off and open the driver's door. 9. Press the
blue OnStar(R) button to make sure that a normal connection can be made to the OnStar(R) call
center. If applicable, make sure the
Hands-Free Calling (HFC) works properly by making a phone call.
10. If the system is working properly, fax or voicemail a case closing into the OnStar(R) team at
TAC with the results. Dealers in Canada should
submit case closing information through the GM infoNET.
Please follow this diagnostic 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
the procedure above does not resolve the condition, you must contact TAC for further assistance.
This diagnostic approach was developed specifically for this condition and should not automatically
be used for other vehicles with similar symptoms.

Important:
This bulletin does NOT apply to 2006 vehicles built AFTER the VIN breakpoints listed above. Refer
to applicable diagnostics in SI for those vehicles that exhibit this condition.
Remove the OnStar(R) fuse from the fuse box, wait five minutes and reinstall the fuse. (For Saturn
VUE vehicles, remove the "INT LTS" fuse from the I/P fuse block for five minutes, then reinstall the
fuse.) If the OnStar(R) system DOES NOT return to normal functionality, then follow the
diagnostics in SI for this condition.
If the OnStar(R) system DOES return to normal functionality, perform the following steps:
1. Install the Tech 2(R) and determine what generation hardware and software ID is in the vehicle.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with Generation 5 hardware and a software version 146, the VCIM
should have the B1000 reprogramming performed as described in Corporate Bulletin Number
04-08-46-004A. The system should be tested and if the concern returns, the VCIM should be
replaced.
3. If Gen 5 with a software version OTHER than 146 or Gen 6 and above, the VCIM needs to be
replaced and the system reconfigured.
Refer to the current version of Corporate Bulletin 03-08-46-004 for details on how to order a new
VCIM.
Important:
As with any OnStar(R) VCIM replacement, the OnStar(R) system must be reconfigured after
replacement.

A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

& Accessories).
If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be
made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin #
05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be
deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada.
If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this
bulletin may not be applicable.
Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the
Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is
internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface
Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is
unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or
the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes.
Customer Notification
OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service
department.
Dealer Action
Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement.
The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable,
simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS
date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the
GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time
stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and
may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset.
To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The
preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below.
Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the
applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse).
The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is
contained.
The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not
only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored
personalization information/settings in other modules as well.
After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will
require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time.
Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky.
First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R)
Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10
minutes. Continue to

monitor the Tech2(R) for the current time and date. REMINDER - Keep in mind that the time
displayed on the Tech2(R) is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the offset is based on the time
zones relationship to GMT.
If replacement of the VIU/VCIM is necessary, you MUST reconfigure the OnStar® system. Failure
to reconfigure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. OnStar® VIU,
Generations 2 and 3, will require the technician to press the blue OnStar® button to reconfigure the
vehicle with an OnStar® advisor.
OnStar(R) VCIM, Generations 4-7 will require the technician to reconfigure the vehicle with the use
of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications (pass thru only), along with the Tech2(R).
The configuration and set-up procedure is a two-step process that must be completed step-by-step
without interruption or delay in between each step. This procedure enables an automated activation
without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Following this procedure, it
may take up to 24 hours for all OnStar(R) services to be fully activated.
How to Order Parts
If the OnStar(R) GPS date/time stamp is non-recoverable and the unit needs to be replaced,
dealers in the U.S. should contact Autocraft Electronics select the catalog item that contains this
bulletin number. Canadian dealers should contact MASS Electronics.
Dealers DO NOT need to call the GM Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for replacement
approval. Autocraft Electronics and MASS Electronics will be responsible for verifying that the
subject vehicle is a candidate for a replacement VIU/VCIM.

(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager.
General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Bulletins for Emergency Contact Module: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures >
Page 13779
these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC U1000 and U1255
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module
receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number
of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating
parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that
parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical
parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is
set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with
it, the DTC will only be reported once.
The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star
configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the
following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them:

The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

DTC B2476 04: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Open Circuit
DTC B2476 59: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Stuck Button
DTC B2482 00: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Range/Performance
Circuit Short to Ground Open / High Resistance Short to Voltage Signal Performance
Circuit/System Description
The OnStar(R) button assembly consists of 3 buttons, Call/Answer, OnStar(R) Call Center, and
OnStar(R) Emergency.
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with
10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the
circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad
signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button
has been activated.
Conditions for Running the DTCs
The ignition is ON.
System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTCs
B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than
15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will
set these DTCs.
Action Taken When the DTCs Set
The OnStar(R) status LED turns red.
No calls can be placed.
The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly.
Conditions for Clearing the DTCs
The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Models
The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005
Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued
September 2008.
Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no
longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On
Star(R) is unable to continue analog service.
OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are
some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in
these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still
active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or
near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However,
since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call,
the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system
will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.
Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service
will be made at no charge to the customer.
This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all
non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.

Disclaimer
Program Overview
Program Overview
To upgrade their vehicle to an OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system, all that a customer
must do is:
^ Take their vehicle to their dealer for the system upgrade.

Bulletins for Emergency Contact Module: > 05-08-46-006Q > Oct > 08 > OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital Ready System Digital
Upgrade > Page 13841
^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year,
non-refundable OnStar(R)
Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans:
^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada)
^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada)
^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription:
^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX,
and WV
^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

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.

A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year, warranty information and to provide GPS
signal recovery steps (under Dealer Action heading) to do PRIOR to determining if the VIU/VCIM
needs replacement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body
& Accessories).
If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be
made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin #
05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be
deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada.
If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this
bulletin may not be applicable.
Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the
Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is
internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface
Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is
unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or
the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes.
Customer Notification
OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service
department.
Dealer Action
Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement.
The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable,
simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS
date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the
GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time
stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and
may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset.
To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The
preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below.
Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the
applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse).
The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is
contained.
The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not
only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored
personalization information/settings in other modules as well.
After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will
require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time.
Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky.
First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R)
Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10
minutes. Continue to

monitor the Tech2(R) for the current time and date. REMINDER - Keep in mind that the time
displayed on the Tech2(R) is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the offset is based on the time
zones relationship to GMT.
If replacement of the VIU/VCIM is necessary, you MUST reconfigure the OnStar® system. Failure
to reconfigure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. OnStar® VIU,
Generations 2 and 3, will require the technician to press the blue OnStar® button to reconfigure the
vehicle with an OnStar® advisor.
OnStar(R) VCIM, Generations 4-7 will require the technician to reconfigure the vehicle with the use
of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications (pass thru only), along with the Tech2(R).
The configuration and set-up procedure is a two-step process that must be completed step-by-step
without interruption or delay in between each step. This procedure enables an automated activation
without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Following this procedure, it
may take up to 24 hours for all OnStar(R) services to be fully activated.
How to Order Parts
If the OnStar(R) GPS date/time stamp is non-recoverable and the unit needs to be replaced,
dealers in the U.S. should contact Autocraft Electronics select the catalog item that contains this
bulletin number. Canadian dealers should contact MASS Electronics.
Dealers DO NOT need to call the GM Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for replacement
approval. Autocraft Electronics and MASS Electronics will be responsible for verifying that the
subject vehicle is a candidate for a replacement VIU/VCIM.

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.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-08-46-001
Date: April 09, 2009
Subject: Servicing Vehicles Upgraded to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital‐Capable System
(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager.
General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Bulletins for Emergency Contact Module: > 09-08-46-001 > Apr > 09 > OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures >
Page 13902
these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

Page 13903
^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The
vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC U1000 and U1255
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module
receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number
of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating
parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that
parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical
parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is
set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with
it, the DTC will only be reported once.
The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star
configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the
following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them:

Part 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following DTCs do not have a current status:
^ B1327
^ B1328
^ U1300
^ U1301
^ U1305
AND
^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number
within the last 5 seconds.

^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.

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.

When servicing any of the above models and a battery cable is disconnected or power to the
OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) is interrupted for any reason the
following procedure must be performed to verify proper Global Positioning System (GPS) function.
Never swap OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Modules (VCIM) from other vehicles.
Transfer of OnStar(R) modules from other vehicles should not be done. Each OnStar(R) module
has a unique identification number. The VCIM has a specific Station Identification (STID). This
identification number is used by the National Cellular Telephone Network and OnStar(R) systems
and is stored in General Motors Vehicle History files by VIN.
After completing ALL repairs to the vehicle you must perform the following procedure:
Move the vehicle into an open area of the service lot.
Sit in the vehicle with the engine running and the radio turned on for five minutes.
Press the OnStar(R) button in the vehicle.
When the OnStar(R) advisor answers ask the advisor to verify the current location of the vehicle.
If the vehicle location is different than the location the OnStar(R) advisor gives contact GM
Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in
the diagnosis of a failed VCIM and, if appropriate, order a replacement part. Replacement parts are
usually shipped out within 24 hours, and a pre-paid return package label will be included for
returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part, you will avoid a non-return core charge.

A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle
reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified
via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able
to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by
OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R)
will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected.
It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure.
In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done
by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R)
module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery.
The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes.
After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of
the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to
reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue
OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position.
If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and
Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the
concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical
Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the
diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out
within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By
returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year, warranty information and to provide GPS
signal recovery steps (under Dealer Action heading) to do PRIOR to determining if the VIU/VCIM
needs replacement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body
& Accessories).
If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be
made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin #
05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be
deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada.
If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this
bulletin may not be applicable.
Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the
Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is
internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface
Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is
unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or
the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes.
Customer Notification
OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service
department.
Dealer Action
Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement.
The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable,
simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS
date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the
GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time
stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and
may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset.
To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The
preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below.
Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the
applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse).
The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is
contained.
The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not
only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored
personalization information/settings in other modules as well.
After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will
require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time.
Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky.
First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R)
Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10
minutes. Continue to

monitor the Tech2(R) for the current time and date. REMINDER - Keep in mind that the time
displayed on the Tech2(R) is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the offset is based on the time
zones relationship to GMT.
If replacement of the VIU/VCIM is necessary, you MUST reconfigure the OnStar® system. Failure
to reconfigure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. OnStar® VIU,
Generations 2 and 3, will require the technician to press the blue OnStar® button to reconfigure the
vehicle with an OnStar® advisor.
OnStar(R) VCIM, Generations 4-7 will require the technician to reconfigure the vehicle with the use
of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications (pass thru only), along with the Tech2(R).
The configuration and set-up procedure is a two-step process that must be completed step-by-step
without interruption or delay in between each step. This procedure enables an automated activation
without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Following this procedure, it
may take up to 24 hours for all OnStar(R) services to be fully activated.
How to Order Parts
If the OnStar(R) GPS date/time stamp is non-recoverable and the unit needs to be replaced,
dealers in the U.S. should contact Autocraft Electronics select the catalog item that contains this
bulletin number. Canadian dealers should contact MASS Electronics.
Dealers DO NOT need to call the GM Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for replacement
approval. Autocraft Electronics and MASS Electronics will be responsible for verifying that the
subject vehicle is a candidate for a replacement VIU/VCIM.

General Information
1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing
the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are
no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear,
or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have
a no power/no communication condition.
2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the
vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information
2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com.
3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic
Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle.
Note:
If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but
the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module.
4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original
analog production or digital upgrade.
5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original
bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required
for a new module replacement. Do not discard.
6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate,
