ADVANCED SERVICE INFORMATION
Subject: Top Tier Detergent Gasoline (Deposits, Fuel Economy, No Start, Power, Performance,
Stall Concerns)
Models: 2005 and Prior All General Motors Passenger Cars and Trucks (U.S. Only)
A new class of gasoline, called Top Tier Detergent Gasoline, will be appearing at retail stations of
some fuel marketers. This gasoline meets detergency standards developed by four automotive
companies. A description of the concept and benefits of Top Tier is provided in the following
question and answer section.
What is Top Tier Detergent Gasoline?
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline is a new class of gasoline with enhanced detergency. It meets new,
voluntary deposit control standards developed by four automotive companies that exceed the
detergent requirements imposed by the EPA.
Who developed Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standards?
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standards were developed by four automotive companies: BMW,
General Motors, Honda and Toyota.
Why was Top Tier Detergent Gasoline developed?
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline was developed to increase the level of detergent additive in gasoline.
The EPA requires that all gasoline sold in the U.S. contain a detergent additive. However, the
requirement is minimal and in many cases, is not sufficient to keep engines clean. In order to meet
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standards, a higher level of detergent is needed than what is required
by the EPA. Also, Top Tier was developed to give fuel marketers the opportunity to differentiate
their product.
Why did the four automotive companies join together to develop Top Tier?
All four corporations recognized the benefits to both the vehicle and the consumer. Also, joining
together emphasized that low detergency is an issue of concern to several automotive companies.
What are the benefits of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline?
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline containing the "Lowest
Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Clean engines help provide optimal fuel economy and
performance and reduced emissions. Also, use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline will help reduce
deposit related concerns.
Who should use Top Tier Detergent Gasoline?
All vehicles will benefit from using Top Tier Detergent Gasoline over gasoline containing the
"Lowest Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Those vehicles that have experienced deposit
related concerns may especially benefit from use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline.
Where can Top Tier Detergent Gasoline be purchased?
The Top Tier program began on May 3, 2004. Some fuel marketers have already joined and are
making plans to introduce Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. This is a voluntary program and not all fuel
marketers will offer this product. Once fuel marketers make public announcements, a list of all fuel
marketers meeting Top Tier standards will be made available. For now, look for the "Top Tier"
designation at the gas pump.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jump Starting: Service and Repair
JUMP STARTING IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
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. Flush any contacted areas with water immediately and thoroughly.
- 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
(charged) battery and the discharged battery should be treated carefully when using jumper cables.
1. Position the vehicle with the booster (charged) 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.
3. Attach the end of 1 jumper cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
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.
4. Attach one end of the remaining jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery. 5.
Make the final connection of the negative jumper cable to the block or suitable bracket connected
directly to the block, away from the battery.

Condition
Some customers may comment on poor engine performance and the Service Engine Soon/Check
Engine light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0300 set.
Cause
This condition may be due to high levels of internal corrosion in the distributor, causing misfire,
rough idle, stall and Engine Cranks But Does Not Run. This corrosion is attributed to a lack of
airflow internal to the cap caused by the vent screens being clogged with debris.
Correction
Remove the vent screens and inspect the internal components of the Distributor Ignition System
using the procedure listed below. If the distributor base has to be replaced, the vent screens will
also have to be removed on the new distributor. If there is evidence of this internal corrosion,
replace the affected component. Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Engine Controls
sub-section of the applicable Service Manual.
Important:
All of these inspections can be done on-vehicle.
1. Inspect the distributor cap. You may notice a white residue on the cap walls. For higher mileage
occurrences, the interior of the cap may have changed to medium brown in color
2. Inspect the distributor rotor. You may notice the presence of black streaks on the plastic surface.
More typical evidence would be visible green spots on the copper surface of the rotor segment.
3. Inspect the distributor base. You may notice high levels of surface rust on the distributor shaft or
surface contamination on the sensor hold down screws.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

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.

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

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.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
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 position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

Fluid Pump: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - 4L60-E/4L65-E New Pump/Seal/Case/Service
Bulletin No.: 04-07-30-023
Date: May 12, 2004
INFORMATION
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.

Condition
Some owners may comment on a rough running condition or a Service Engine Soon (SES) light
being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find a DTC code P0300 or P0335.
Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

Q: Why didn't the machine come with the adapters to hook up to the car?
A: The J 45096 was designed to use the previously released essential cooler line adapters for the J
35944-A. All adapters are listed on page 17 of the
Operation Manual and can be ordered from Kent-Moore at 1-800-345-2233.
Q: How do I connect the J 45096 to a Catera, Prizm or a Vibe?
A: These vehicles, along with many other models, only require barbed fittings to connect to the
rubber cooler hose. These fittings are commercially
available and already found in many shops.
Q: Why didn't I receive an Operation Manual with the machine?
A: The Operation Manual was packaged in the upper portion of the shipping carton. If the shipping
carton was lifted off the base without opening the
top of the carton, the Operation Manual could have been discarded with the carton. Replacement
Operation Manual packages can be obtained from Kent-Moore Customer Service at
1-800-345-2233.
Q: Why can't I re-use the transmission fluid I use for flushing?
A: The very fine metal and clutch material debris from the transmission failure in the ATF causes
failures with the hall effect speed sensors that are used
to measure the flow rate. To avoid costly repairs, expensive filters, regular maintenance and
problems caused by a partially restricted filter, the filter was not included.
Q: What do I do if I need service on my machine?
A: Call Kent-Moore Customer Service at 1-800-345-2233. The J 45096 has a one-year warranty.
Q: Can I flush and flow engine oil coolers?
A: The engine oil cooler flow rates, the appropriate adapters and an acceptable procedure are
currently under development.

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

3. Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
4. Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. An
excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications. Insufficient
torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator
(2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
- A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
5. Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during
installation.
SPARK PLUG VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal
combustion by-products from fuels with
additives.
2. Carbon Fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures Leaking fuel injectors
- Excessive fuel pressure
- Restricted air filter element
- Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output Weak coils

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.

Alignment: Description and Operation Toe Description
Toe Description
Toe is a measurement of how much the front and/or rear wheels are turned in or out from a
straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+). When the wheels are
turned out, toe is negative (-). The actual amount of toe is normally only a fraction of a degree. The
purpose of toe is to ensure that the wheels roll parallel. Toe also offsets the small deflections of the
wheel support system that occur when the vehicle is rolling forward. In other words, with the vehicle
standing still and the wheels set with toe-in, the wheels tend to roll parallel on the road when the
vehicle is moving. Improper toe adjustment will cause premature tire wear and cause steering
instability.

engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it may be strings in the
drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent
or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

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.

Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control
module will disable the fuel pump relay within two seconds unless the control module detects
ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as
ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within two
seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. The electric fuel pump supplies fuel through an in-line fuel filter
to the fuel injection system. The pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the
fuel injection system. The fuel pressure regulator maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel
injection system. A separate pipe returns unused fuel to the fuel tank.

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.

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.

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
Page 5539
Abbreviations And Meanings - Part 18
Page 9796
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-C 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.

Models: 2006 and Prior Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2006
HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year and additional models. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-08-48-001A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The addition of vertical grid lines to the heated back window defogger circuits has made it difficult
to detect broken defogger grid lines. In the past, it was a simple matter to use a voltmeter to check
the continuity of each grid line in order to locate a non-functional line. Some new design back
windows have two vertical grid lines that connect all of the horizontal grid lines together, thereby
providing alternate routes for the electrical current to follow. This makes the old test method
ineffective. If the vehicle does not have the vertical lines, the old (line-by-line) test methods can be
used.
Materials Required
^ Permatex(R) Quick Grid, GM P/N 12346001, or equivalent
^ A small ball of fine steel wool Type 00, or
^ Optional - A strip of liquid crystal heat sensitive paper, 51 mm x 305 mm (2 in x 12 in) or similar
size (Contact Edmund Scientific at 800-728-6999 for part number CR30723-70 or go to
www.scientificsonline.com), or
^ Optional-A portable infrared thermometer, GE-46819, available from Kent-Moore
(1-800-345-2233), or equivalent.
Correction
There are three distinct zones across the back window that must be checked. They are:
^ the driver's side outboard of the two vertical lines
^ the passenger side outboard of the two vertical lines
^ the central zone that falls between the two vertical lines
To detect a broken grid line in any of the above three zones and to isolate the exact location of the
break, perform the following steps:
Caution:
^ Approved safety glasses and gloves should be worn when performing this procedure to reduce
the chance of personal injury.
^ Cover the rear shelf area to prevent damage to the interior trim material.
1. Start the engine and turn on the back window defogger.
2. Take the ball of fine steel wool and twist one end to a point. Move the point slowly across each
grid line. Be sure to start at the far side of the zone and move it to the opposite side of the zone.
When you bridge the grid line break with the steel wool, you will see a small spark. Repeat the test
over the same area to be sure you have accurately located the break. Mark the exact location of
the grid line break. Repeat this portion of the test for each grid line. If you do not see a spark at any
point, it is possible that there are two breaks in the same line and zone. Close visual inspection
using a magnifying glass may be the only way to locate breaks in this case.
3. The following are provided as an alternative way to detect a non-functional grid line. If available,
use in addition to the steel wool.

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.

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 code 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.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Brake Fluid: Description and Operation
Brake Fluid and Brake Fluid Handling
Use extreme care when selecting brake system fluids or seal damage can result. Do not reuse
brake system fluids. Do not mix power steering fluid with brake fluid. Fluid contamination may result
in swelling and deterioration of rubber parts. This can lead to reduced brake performance and the
eventual loss of braking capability. Service booster components in a clean work area separate from
the brake servicing area. Wash hands before changing work areas. Do not use the same
containers for brake and power steering fluids.
Caution: Brake fluid may be irritating to the skin or the eyes, or may cause nausea, vomiting, or
diarrhea if swallowed. In case of contact or swallowing take the following actions: ^
Eye contact - rinse thoroughly with water
^ Skin contact - wash with soap and water
^ if swallowed - Contact a physician immediately.
Give two glasses of water and induce vomiting by sticking fingers down the throat.
Notice: Brake fluid will damage electrical connections and painted surfaces. Use shop cloths,
suitable containers, and fender covers to prevent brake fluid from contacting these areas. Always
re-seal and wipe off brake fluid containers to prevent spills.
Always store brake fluid in a closed, sealed container. Never use previously opened containers of
stored brake fluid. Always use new brake fluid from a sealed container. Brake fluid left in open or
improperly sealed containers will absorb moisture. Moisture can lower the brake fluid boiling point,
causing the following problems: ^
Brake system contamination
^ Corrosion
^ Deterioration of rubber components
Substandard Or Contaminated Brake Fluid
It the brake fluid contains improper fluid, water, or other contaminates, the brake fluid may boil or
may deteriorate rubber components in the hydraulic brake system. Evidence of rubber deterioration
occurs in the following areas: ^
Swollen master cylinder piston seals
^ Swelling of the wheel cylinder boots
^ Swelling of caliper boots
^ Swelling of the master cylinder reservoir diaphragm
If rubber deterioration is found, replace all rubber parts, including the hoses, in the brake system.
Inspect for brake fluid on the brake linings. Replace the brake linings that are contaminated with
brake fluid. If the brake fluid is contaminated and the master cylinder piston seals are good, check
for leaks and excessive heat conditions. If no leaks or excessive heat conditions are found, flush
the brake system.
Flushing The Hydraulic Brake System
In order to flush the brake hydraulic system, run new brake fluid through the brake system.
Continue until the brake fluid at each bleeder valve comes out clear. Flushing is the only way to
clean contaminated fluid out of the system. Flush the brake hydraulic system for the following
reasons: ^
New hydraulic brake parts are installed
^ Contamination may be present
^ You do not know the grade of brake fluid in the brake system
^ Mineral oil is present in the brake fluid

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

Drive Belt Squeal Diagnosis Step 1 - 9
Diagnostic Aids A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or
other items of the vehicle may cause the squeal noise. If the noise is intermittent, verify the
accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their
maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system, power steering system with a pinched hose or
wrong fluid, or a generator failing are suggested items to inspect.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise
may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is
not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for
a brief period will verify the squeal noise is the
drive belt(s) or an accessory drive component. When removing the drive belt the water pump may
not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating
with the drive belt removed.
4. This test is to verify that an accessory drive component does not have a seized bearing. With the
belt remove test the bearings in the accessory
drive components for turning smoothly. Also test the accessory drive components with the engine
operating by varying the load on the components to verify that the components operate properly.
5. This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is
not operating properly, proper belt tension may not
be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal noise.
6. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt
tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect
length drive belt was installed, it may not be routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive
component in the wrong direction.
7. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
8. This test is to verify that the pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known good
vehicle compare the pulley sizes.

sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

Testing and Inspection
Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection
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
Inspect the connectors at the BCM, and all other circuit connecting points for an intermittent
condition. Inspect the circuit wiring for an intermittent condition. If the electrical circuit checks are
OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a mechanical/hydraulic condition
that prevents tow/haul operation.

electrical, in-line connections, powertrain control sensors, etc. DO NOT over apply lubricant to the
point where it prevents the full engagement of sealed connectors. A light coating on the terminal
surfaces is sufficient to correct the condition.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Attention statement and add the 2011
model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-06-03-004C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
- An intermittent no crank/no start
- Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination
- Intermittent service lamp illumination
- Intermittent service message(s) being displayed
The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a buildup of nonconductive insulating oxidized debris known as
fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector.
This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
- Vibration
- Thermal cycling
- Poor connection/terminal retention
- Micro motion
- A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement
On low current signal circuits this condition may cause high resistance, resulting in intermittent
connections.
On high current power circuits this condition may cause permanent increases in the resistance and
may cause a device to become inoperative.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

Condition
Some owners may comment on a rough running condition or a Service Engine Soon (SES) light
being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find a DTC code P0300 or P0335.
Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

Bus Bar/Antenna Terminal Repair
BUS BAR/ANTENNA TERMINAL REPAIR
1. Clean the repair area by buffing with fine steel wool. This removes the oxide coating formed
during the window manufacture.
IMPORTANT: The rear defogger bus bar lead wire, the antenna, or the defogger terminal can be
reattached by resoldering using a solder containing 3 percent silver and a rosin flux paste.
2. Install the paste-type rosin flux in small quantities to the rear defogger bus bar lead wire antenna
or the defogger terminal repair area using a brush. 3. Coat the solder iron tip with the solder.
- Use only enough heat to melt the solder.
- Use only enough solder to ensure a complete repair.
NOTE: Use only enough heat to melt the solder. Using excessive heat can damage the rear
window defogger components or the rear window.
4. Install the solder to the feed bus bar or the ground bus bar. 5. Draw the soldering iron tip across
the fluxed area, thinly coating the bus bar with solder. 6. Install a small amount of flux to the
underside of the rear defogger bus bar lead wire antenna or the defogger terminal. 7. Align the
spots with flux to the underside of the rear defogger bus bar lead wire, antenna, or defogger
terminal. 8. Coat the tip of the soldering iron with solder. 9. Install the solder to the underside of the
rear defogger bus bar lead wire antenna to the defogger terminal.
10. Draw the iron across the fluxed spot, thinly coating the spot of solder. 11. Solder the spot on
the braid against the spot on the feed bus bar or the ground bus bar.
- Use pliers in order to hold the rear defogger bus bar lead wire antenna or the defogger terminal.
- Apply the heat to the top of the rear defogger bus bar lead wire antenna or the defogger terminal.
This causes the solder spot to melt and fuse together.
- Do not remove the holding force until the solder has solidified.
- Wipe off the excess flux with solvent.

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.

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.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CKP sensor is a three wire sensor based on the magneto resistive principle. A magneto
resistive sensor uses two magnetic pickups between a permanent magnet. As an element such as
a reluctor wheel passes the magnets the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the
sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The PCM supplies a 12-volt, low reference,
and signal circuit to the CKP sensor. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF pulse 3 times per
crankshaft revolution for the V6 engine, 4 times for the V8 engine. The CKP sensor reads the
crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel to identify pairs of cylinders at Top Dead Center (TDC).

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%.

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Description
POWERTRAIN
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the control center of this
system. The PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The PCM constantly looks at
the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and emissions. The PCM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the
system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the PCM.
The following are some of the functions that the PCM controls: The engine fueling
- The Ignition Control (IC)
- The Knock Sensor (KS) system
- The Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system
- The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system (if equipped)
- The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system
- The automatic transmission functions
- The generator
- The A/C clutch control
- The cooling fan control
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FUNCTION
The PCM constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs and controls
systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs diagnostic tests
on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver
via the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set.
The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. The input and
output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters, and output
drivers. The output drivers are electronic switches that complete a ground or voltage circuit when
turned on. Most PCM controlled components are operated via output drivers. The PCM monitors
these driver circuits for proper operation and, in most cases, can set a DTC corresponding to the
controlled device if a problem is detected.
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.

Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis Step 1 - 15
Diagnostic Aids The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt(s) or the
pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt(s) in order to
duplicate the customers concern. If spraying water on the drive belt(s) duplicates the symptom,
cleaning the belt pulleys may be the probable solution. A loose or improper installation of a body
component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the chirping noise.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise
may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is
not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table.
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for
a brief period will verify the noise is related to the
drive belt. When removing the drive belt(s) the water pump may not be operating and the engine

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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-C 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.

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

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.

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-C 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.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CKP sensor is a three wire sensor based on the magneto resistive principle. A magneto
resistive sensor uses two magnetic pickups between a permanent magnet. As an element such as
a reluctor wheel passes the magnets the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the
sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The PCM supplies a 12-volt, low reference,
and signal circuit to the CKP sensor. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF pulse 3 times per
crankshaft revolution for the V6 engine, 4 times for the V8 engine. The CKP sensor reads the
crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel to identify pairs of cylinders at Top Dead Center (TDC).

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

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

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

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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.

Use a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette (part of J 39916-A ) for proper tape player
cleaning. This cleaner is a wet-type cleaning system. The wet-type cleaning system uses a
cleaning cassette with pads. The pads scrub the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette
turn.
If you use this type of cleaner, the following conditions may occur:
- The radio displays an error.
- The cartridge ejects.
These conditions are normal and is the result of an added feature in the tape player that detects
broken tapes.
If an error occurs, insert the cleaning cassette at least 3 times in order to thoroughly clean the tape
player. You can also use a non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner. This type of cleaner uses a
cassette with a fabric belt which cleans the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not cause

Air Bag Control 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 turns
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 command 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.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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.

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.

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 manual. 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.

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-C 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-C 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.

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.
TRIP
A trip is an interval of time during which the diagnostic test runs. A trip may consist of only a key
cycle to power up the PCM, allow the diagnostic to run, then cycle the key off to power down the
PCM. A trip may also involve a PCM power up, meeting specific conditions to run the diagnostic
test, then powering down the PCM. The definition of a trip depends upon the diagnostic. Some
diagnostic tests run only once per trip (i.e., catalyst monitor) while other tests run continuously
during each trip (i.e. misfire).
WARM-UP CYCLE
The PCM uses warm-up cycles to run some diagnostics and to clear any diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs). A warm-up cycle occurs when the engine coolant temperature increases 22°C (40°F) from
the start-up temperature. The engine coolant must also achieve a minimum temperature of 71°C
(160 °F). The PCM counts the number of warm-up cycles in order to clear the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL). The PCM will clear the DTCs when 40 consecutive warm-up cycles occur without a
malfunction.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
The PCM is programmed with test routines that test the operation of the various systems the PCM
controls. Some tests monitor internal PCM functions. Many tests are run continuously. Other tests
run only under specific conditions, referred to as Conditions for Running the DTC. When the
vehicle is operating within the conditions for running a particular test, the PCM monitors certain
parameters and determines if the values are within an expected range. The parameters and values
considered outside the range of normal operation are listed as Conditions for Setting the DTC.
When the Conditions for Setting the DTC occur, the PCM executes the Action Taken When the
DTC Sets. Some DTCs alert the driver via the MIL or a message. Other DTCs do not trigger a
driver warning, but are stored in memory. The PCM also saves data and input parameters when
most DTCs are set. This data is stored in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records.
The DTCs are categorized by type. The DTC type is determined by the MIL operation and the
manner in which the fault data is stored when a particular DTC fails. In some cases there may be
exceptions to this structure. Therefore, when diagnosing the system it is important to read the
Action Taken When the DTC Sets and the Conditions for Clearing the DTC in the supporting text.
There are different types of DTCs and different actions taken when the DTCs set. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for a description of the general characteristics of
each DTC type. See: Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
DTC STATUS
When the scan tool displays a DTC, the status of the DTC is also displayed. The following DTC
statuses are indicated only when they apply to the DTC that is set.
Fail This Ign. (Fail This Ignition): Indicates that this DTC failed during the present ignition cycle.
Last Test Fail: Indicates that this DTC failed the last time the test ran. The last test may have run
during a previous ignition cycle if an A or B type DTC is displayed. For type C DTCs, the last failure
must have occurred during the current ignition cycle to appear as Last Test Fail.
MIL Request: Indicates that this DTC is currently requesting the MIL. This selection will report type
B DTCs only when they have requested the MIL (failed twice).
Test Fail SCC (Test Failed Since Code Clear): Indicates that this DTC that has reported a failure
since the last time DTCs were cleared. History indicates that the DTC is stored in the PCM History
memory. Type B DTCs will not appear in History until they have requested the MIL (failed twice).
History will be displayed for all type A DTCs and type B DTCs (which have requested the MIL) that
have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles. Type C DTCs that have failed within the last 40
warm-up cycles will also appear in History.
NOT RUN SCC (NOT RUN SINCE CODE CLEAR): DTCs will be listed in this category if the
diagnostic has not run since DTCs were last cleared. This status is not included with the DTC
display since the DTC can not be set if the diagnostic has not run. This information is displayed
when DTC Info is requested using the scan tool.

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.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 00-03-10-006F
Date: May 04, 2010
Subject: Information on Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009
and Prior Saab 9-7X 2000-2005 Saturn L Series 2003-2007 Saturn ION
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to considerably expand the available information on
Radial Force Variation (RFV) and should be reviewed in whole. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Important
- Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven
a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires.
- Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel
assemblies for each vehicle.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation
measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable
tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force
variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads.
Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out
of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three
conditions must be addressed.
Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle,
two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any
imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer,
and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly
balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration.
Before balancing, perform the following procedures.
Tire and Wheel Diagnosis
1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are
centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while
shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick.
3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and
correct as necessary:
- Missing balance weights
- Bent rim flange
- Irregular tire wear
- Incomplete bead seating
- Tire irregularities (including pressure settings)
- Mud/ice build-up in wheel
- Stones in the tire tread
- Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to
diagnosing a smooth road shake condition.
4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a
sufficient distance on a known, smooth road
surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes
are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section
of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration
as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order
(one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high
enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high
to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment.
If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a
throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type

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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Vehicle/Powertrain Control Module & the BCM
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.

Drive Belt Whine Diagnosis Step 1 - 5
Diagnostic Aids The drive belt(s) will not cause the whine noise. If the whine noise is intermittent,
verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their
maximum capacity. Such items but not limited to may be an A/C system overcharged, the power
steering system restricted or the wrong fluid, or the generator failing.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 3. This test is
to verify that the noise is being caused by the drive belt(s) or the accessory drive components.
When removing the drive belt the water
pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is
operating with the drive belt removed.
4. The inspection should include checking the drive belt tensioner and the drive belt idler pulley
bearings. The drive belt(s) 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 inspection and replacement procedure.

CAUTION:
- Do not strike or jolt the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). Before applying
power to the SDM, make sure that it is securely fastened with the arrow facing toward the front of
the vehicle. Failure to observe the correct installation procedure could cause SIR deployment,
personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.
- If the vehicle interior is exposed to moisture and becomes soaked up to the level of the sensing
and diagnostic module (SDM), the SDM and SDM harness connector must be replaced. The SDM
could be activated when powered, which could cause airbag deployment and result in personal
injury.

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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.

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.

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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-C 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-C 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.

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

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CMP sensor is a hall-effect sensor located in the ignition distributor base, and uses the same
type of circuits as the CKP sensor. The CMP sensor signal is a digital ON/OFF pulse, output once
per revolution of the camshaft. The CMP sensor information is used by the PCM to determine the
position of the valve train relative to the CKP.

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

Page 1978
Maximum fan speed (air flow and related fan noise) through the engine compartment is
experienced under two conditions.
1. When the vehicle sits in an unused condition for several hours, the viscous fluid within the
thermostatic fan clutch assembly migrates and fully engages the clutch of the fan. After a short
drive, the viscous fluid will migrate to the storage area in the fan clutch and the fan clutch will slip,
reducing the noise (roar of the fan). This is normal thermostatic fan clutch operation.
2. When the engine is running, and the air being drawn by the fan or pushed through the radiator
from the vehicle movement reaches a high enough temperature, the fan clutch will fully engage the
fan clutch, drawing additional air through the radiator to lower the engine coolant temperature and
A/C refrigerant temperature. When the cooling fan clutch fully engages, fan noise increases (for
example; this is the same as switching an electric household fan from low to high speed). Some
customers have interpreted this sound increase to be an increase in the engine RPM due to
transmission downshift, transmission slipping, or TCC cycling. As the engine coolant temperature
decreases, the fan clutch will begin to slip, lowering the actual speed of the fan blade and the
resultant sound.
Service Procedure
When diagnosing an intermittent transmission downshift, slip, or busy/cycling TCC, follow these
steps:
1. Verify the transmission fluid level and the fluid condition. Refer to the Automatic Transmission
sub-section of the appropriate Service Manual.
2. Test drive the vehicle under the conditions described by the customer (ambient temperature,
engine coolant temperature, trailering, etc.). It may be necessary to partially restrict airflow to the
radiator in order to raise the engine coolant temperature to match the customer's conditions.
3. Monitor the engine RPM and the engine coolant temperature using a scan tool.
4. Listen for an actual increase in the engine RPM. Use either the vehicle tachometer (if equipped),
the Tech 2 RPM or transmission slip speed as an indicator, rather than just the sound.
If the engine RPM display on the tachometer or the Tech 2 increases, verify the scan tool RPM and
coolant temperature readings. If the noise increase is due to the engagement of the fan, the engine
RPM will not increase and the engine coolant temperature will begin to decrease after the fan
engages. As the fan runs, the engine coolant temperature will drop and the fan will disengage,
reducing noise levels. The engine RPM will not decrease. This cycle will repeat as the engine
coolant temperature rises again.
If the above procedure shows the condition to be cooling fan-related, no further action is
necessary. The vehicle should be returned to the customer and the condition explained.
If the above procedure shows the condition to be other than cooling fan-related, refer to the
Automatic Transmission sub-section of the appropriate Service Manual for transmission diagnosis
information.
The following information regarding the operation of the engine cooling fan should be photocopied
and given to the customer.
Intermittent Transmission Downshift
All light duty trucks are equipped with a thermostatic engine cooling fan. This fan is designed to
provide greater fuel efficiency and quieter operation than a standard fan. These benefits are
possible through the addition of a thermostatic clutch to the fan drive. When the engine is cool (it
the engine has been run in the last few hours), the clutch allows the fan to "slip" or turn at a speed
slower than the engine. By turning at a slower speed, the fan uses less horsepower, which saves
fuel, and is quieter. When the engine temperature reaches a preset temperature or if the engine
has not been run for several hours, the fan "engages" and turns at the same speed as the engine.
"Engagement" of the fan provides increased airflow through the radiator to cool the engine. As the
airflow increases, fan operation becomes clearly audible.
This increase in noise can easily be mistaken for an increase in engine RPM and may be
incorrectly blamed on the automatic transmission. When operating an unloaded vehicle in cooler
ambient temperatures, the thermostatic clutch usually won't fully engage. However, if the vehicle is
pulling a trailer, is heavily loaded or is operated at high ambient temperatures, the thermostatic fan
clutch may cycle on and off as the engine coolant temperature rises and falls.
The sound of fan operation under the conditions described above is a sign that the cooling system
on your vehicle is working correctly. Replacement or modification of the cooling system or the
transmission parts will not change or reduce the noise level. Attempts to reduce this noise may
cause you, the customer, to believe that your vehicle is not reliable and will inconvenience you by
causing your vehicle to be out of service.

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

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 manual. 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.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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 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.
Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP
TOOLS REQUIRED
Page 5498
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection
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
Inspect the connectors at the BCM, and all other circuit connecting points for an intermittent
condition. Inspect the circuit wiring for an intermittent condition. If the electrical circuit checks are
OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a mechanical/hydraulic condition
that prevents tow/haul operation.

Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Testing and Inspection
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine idle speed is controlled by the idle air control (IAC) valve. The IAC valve is on the
throttle body. The IAC valve pintle moves in and out of an idle air passage bore to control air flow
around the throttle plate. The IAC valve consists of a movable pintle, driven by a gear attached to
an electric motor called a stepper motor. The stepper motor is capable of highly accurate rotation,
or of movement, called steps. The stepper motor has 2 separate windings that are called coils.
Each coil is supplied current by two circuits from the powertrain control module (PCM). When the
PCM changes polarity of a coil, the stepper motor moves one step. The PCM uses a
predetermined number of counts to determine the IAC pintle position. Observe IAC counts with a
scan tool. The IAC counts will increment up or down as the PCM attempts to change the IAC valve
pintle position. An IAC Reset will occur when the ignition key is turned OFF. First, the PCM will seat
the IAC pintle in the idle air passage bore. Second, the PCM will retract the pintle a predetermined
number of counts to allow for efficient engine start-up. If the engine idle speed is out of range for a
calibrated period of time, an idle speed diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Inspect for the following conditions: High resistance in an IAC valve control circuit
- The correct positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve, properly installed and proper operation of
the PCV valve
- Proper operation and installation of all air intake components
- Proper installation and operation of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor, if equipped
- A tampered with or damaged throttle stop screw
- A tampered with or damaged throttle plate, throttle shaft, throttle linkage, or cruise control linkage,
if equipped
- A skewed high throttle position (TP) sensor
- Excessive deposits in the IAC passage or on the IAC pintle
- Excessive deposits in the throttle bore or on the throttle plate
- Vacuum leaks
- A high or unstable idle condition could be caused by a non-IAC system problem that can not be
overcome by the IAC valve. Refer to Symptoms - Computers and Control Systems. See:
Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
- If the problem is determined to be intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions. See: Computers

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

Poor fits
^ Lubrication
^ Overheating
^ Overloads
^ Handling damage
If this condition occurs, perform the following: 1. Check the seals. 2. Check for proper fit. 3. Check
for proper lubrication. 4. Clean all the parts and the housings. 5. Replace the bearings.
Stain Discoloration
The discoloration on the bearings is caused by incorrect lubrication or moisture and ranges in color
from light brown to black. Reuse the bearing if you can remove the stains with light polishing and
there is no evidence of overheating. If this condition occurs, perform the following: 1. Check the
seals. 2. Clean all the parts and the housings. 3. Replace the bearings, if necessary.
Heat Discoloration
The heat discoloration on the bearings ranges from faint yellow to dark blue and results from
overload or an incorrect lubricant. Excessive heat causes softening of the races or the rollers. In
order to check for loss of temper on the races and the rollers, perform a file test. A file drawn over a
tempered part will grab and cut the metal and fail the file test. A file drawn over a hard part will glide
with no metal cutting. If overheating damage is indicated, perform the following: 1. Check the seals.

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

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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-C 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.

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.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener

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.

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.

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.

Models:
1994-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2010 HUMMER H2
2006-2010 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 05-08-51-008B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Visible rust colored spots or bumps on a vehicle's paint surface from rail or iron dust.
Cause
Rail dust comes from tiny iron particles produced from the friction between train wheels and the
tracks and gets deposited on the vehicle surfaces. Iron dust can get deposited on the surface if the
vehicle is stored near any operation producing iron dust such as an iron ore yard. Either material
can lay on top of, or become embedded in, the paint surface.
Correction
Because the severity of the condition varies, proper diagnosis of the damage is critical to the
success of repairs. Diagnosis should be performed on horizontal surfaces (hood, roof, deck lid, pick
up box, etc.) after the vehicle has been properly cleaned. There are two types of repair materials
recommended to repair rail dust or iron dust:
1. GEL TYPE OXALIC ACID:
- Has the characteristics of the liquid type oxalic acid but stays where you put it because of its gel
consistency.
2. CLAY TYPE NON-ACID BASED:
- Requires surface lubricant during use. - Has different grades available.
Caution
Rail dust remover (Oxalic Acid) is an acidic substance containing chemicals that will break down
the iron particles embedded in the finish. When working with rail dust remover, use the necessary
safety equipment, including gloves and goggles. Follow the chemical manufacturer's directions
closely because it may require special handling and disposal.
If, upon inspection, some particles are still present, the various chemical manufacturer's processes
can be repeated.
After the removal process, small pits may remain in the clearcoat and can be corrected, in most
cases, with a finesse/polish operation.
Procedure
1. Move the vehicle to a cool shaded area and make sure that the vehicle surfaces are cool during
the removal process. DO NOT PERFORM THE
REMOVAL PROCESS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR ON A VEHICLE WITH HOT OR WARM BODY
PANELS.
2. Wash the vehicle with soap and water. Dry it immediately and clean the affected areas with a
wax and grease remover. 3. Perform the removal process according to the chemical
manufacturer's directions.
Once the damage has been repaired, the final step involves a polishing process.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT END DISCRIMINATING SENSOR
The front end discriminating sensor is equipped on some vehicles to supplement SIR system
performance. The discriminating sensor is an electro-mechanical sensor and is not part of the
deployment loops, but instead provides an input to the SDM. The SDM uses the input from the
discriminating sensor 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.

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

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.

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
Page 955
3. Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
4. Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. An
excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications. Insufficient
torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator
(2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
- A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
5. Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during
installation.
SPARK PLUG VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal
combustion by-products from fuels with
additives.
2. Carbon Fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures Leaking fuel injectors
- Excessive fuel pressure
- Restricted air filter element
- Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output Weak coils

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.

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Front Caster and Camber Adjustment
Important: Before you adjust caster and camber angles, raise and release the front bumper. Do this
twice in order to allow the vehicle to return to a normal height.
1. Adjust the caster and the camber by inserting shims between the upper control arm shaft and
the frame bracket. Add shims or subtract shims or
transfer shims in order to change the readings.
2. In order to adjust the caster and the camber, loosen the upper control arm shaft-to-frame nuts
(1). Add shims or remove shims (2) as required.
Tighten the nuts. Check the toe after you change the caster and the camber.
3. Caster-Transfer the shims from front to rear or from rear to front. The transfer of one shim from
the rear bolt to the front bolt decreases positive
caster.
4. Camber-Change the shims at the front and the rear of the cross shaft. Add an equal number of
shims at the front and the rear of the cross shaft.
This decreases positive camber.
5. A normal shim pack will leave at least two threads of the bolt exposed beyond the nut (1). The
difference between the front shim pack and the rear
shim pack must not exceed 10 mm (0.40 inch). If you cannot meet these requirements, check for
damage to the control arms and to related parts.
6. Tighten the nut on the thinner shim pack first. This improves the shaft-to-frame clamping force.
This also improves torque retention.

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.

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-C 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-C 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.

Removal Procedure
1. Remove the engine front cover.
2. Remove the crankshaft position sensor reluctor ring.
Notice: In order to rotate the engine install a bolt with the same threads as the crankshaft, but do
not use the crankshaft balancer bolt or a bolt longer than 1 inch, in the crankshaft. Failing to do so
will cause damage to the bolt threads and the crankshaft threaded hole when removing the bolt.
3. Install a 7/16-20 x 1 inch bolt into the end of the crankshaft.
Notice: Align the timing marks before removing the timing chain. If it is necessary to turn either the
camshaft or the crankshaft with the timing chain removed, loosen or remove the valve rocker arms.
Turning either the crankshaft or camshaft with the timing chain removed may cause the pistons to
contact the valves, resulting in damage.
4. Rotate the crankshaft until:
4.1. The timing marks on both Sprockets line up.
4.2. The number four cylinder is at Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

Testing and Inspection
Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection
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
Inspect the connectors at the BCM, and all other circuit connecting points for an intermittent
condition. Inspect the circuit wiring for an intermittent condition. If the electrical circuit checks are
OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a mechanical/hydraulic condition
that prevents tow/haul operation.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

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.

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

Subject: New Primer For TPO Fascias and Affected Cleaning Process of Painting Operation
Models: 2009 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform the technician that General Motors has made a change in
the primer it uses for TPO plastic for service parts. This new primer comes in several different
colors from five different suppliers. This change affects the cleaning process of the painting
operation. The new process is as follows.
1. Wash with soap and water.
2. Clean with a 50% mix of isopropyl alcohol and water (or a waterborne cleaner). Check with your
paint supplier for product recommendations.
3. Scuff sand per your paint suppliers recommendations.
Note:
The use of a solvent-type cleaner will soften, or begin to dissolve the primer. Base coats do not
have any affect on this primer.
4. Reclean with a 50% mix of isopropyl alcohol and water (or a waterborne cleaner).
All fascias, with the exception of the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac XLR, are made of TPO. You
may find other TPO parts with this primer. If the technician has a question as to the type of plastic
they are painting, inspect the back of the part for the plastic symbol (TPO).

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-C 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-C 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.

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.

Description and Operation
Torsion Bar: Description and Operation
General Description (Torsion Bar)
The front suspension has 2 primary purposes: ^
Isolate the driver from irregularities in the road surface.
^ Define the ride and handling characteristics of the vehicle. The front suspension absorbs the
impact of the tires travailing over irregular road surfaces and dissipates this energy throughout the
suspension system. This process isolates the vehicle occupants from the road surface. The rate at
which the suspension dissipates the energy and the amount of energy that is absorbed is how the
suspension defines the vehicle's ride characteristics. Ride characteristics are designed into the
suspension system and are not adjustable. The ride characteristics are mentioned in this
description in order to aid in the understanding of the functions of the suspension system. The
suspension system must allow for the vertical movement of the tire and wheel assembly as the
vehicle travels over irregular road surfaces while maintaining the tire's horizontal relationship to the
road. This requires that the steering knuckle be suspended between an upper and a lower control
arm. The lower control arm attaches from the steering knuckle at the outermost point of the control
arm. The attachment is through a ball and socket type joint. The innermost end of the control arm is
attached at 2 points to the vehicle frame through semi-rigid bushings. The upper control arm
attaches to the frame in the same fashion. Attached to the lower control arm is a torsion bar.
Torsion bars are steel or steel composite shaft that connects from the lower control arm an
adjustable mount at the torsion bar crossmember. The torsion bar functions as a spring in this
suspension system. The torsion bar absorbs energy from irregular road surfaces by twisting force
along the center axis. The torsion bar has a resistance to this twisting motion and will return to the
original, at-rest position similar to that of a spring. A shock absorber is used in conjunction with this
system in order to dampen out the oscillations of the torsion bar. A shock absorber is a basic
hydraulic cylinder. The shock is filled with oil and has a moveable shaft that connects to a piston
inside the shock absorber. Valves inside the shock absorber offer resistance to oil flow and
consequently offer resistance to rapid movement of the piston and shaft. Each end of the shock
absorber is connected in such a fashion in order to utilize this recoil action of a torsion bar alone.
Front suspension systems utilize a stabilizer shaft. The stabilizer bar connects between the left and
right lower control arm assemblies through the stabilizer link and stabilizer shaft insulators. This bar
controls the amount of independent movement of the suspension when the vehicle turns. Limiting
the independent movement defines the vehicle's handling characteristics on turns.

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-servicable 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 toGarage 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).

IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large
enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large
enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
TERMINAL REPAIR
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment,
apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.
Weather Pack Connectors
WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS
The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors.
1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in
terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the
terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position.
4. Insert the Weather Pack(r) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal
through the back of the connector (2).
IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.
6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) 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 such as the exhaust
system, or the drivetrain.
3. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) or accessory drive components may be causing the
vibration. When removing the drive belt the water
pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is
operating with the drive belt removed.
4. The drive belt(s) may cause a vibration. While the drive belt(s) is removed this is the best time to
inspect the condition of the belt. 6. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a
wrong 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 smoothness, ease of turning. Inspect for a bent fan shaft or bent mounting
flange.
9. This step should only be performed if the water pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the
water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the
water pump bearings for smoothness 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 extra strain on
that accessory component causing it to vibrate.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener
seating
Page 8665
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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Excessive Wear
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis Step 1 - 6
Diagnostic Aids Excessive wear on a drive belt(s) is usually caused by an incorrect installation or
the wrong drive belt for the application. Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause
excessive wear, but will probably cause the drive belt(s) to make a noise or to fall off. Excessive
misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the drive
belt(s) fall off.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. The
inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear on
the drive belt(s) may be caused by
mix-positioning the drive belt(s) by one groove on a pulley.
3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt.
The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves
on all of the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is not contacting any parts of the engine or body while
the engine is operating. There should be
sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt(s)
should not come in contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.

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

Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control
module will disable the fuel pump relay within two seconds unless the control module detects
ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as
ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within two
seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. The electric fuel pump supplies fuel through an in-line fuel filter
to the fuel injection system. The pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the
fuel injection system. The fuel pressure regulator maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel
injection system. A separate pipe returns unused fuel to the fuel tank.

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.

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE ACTUATOR
The air temperature actuator is a 3-wire bi-directional electric motor. Ignition 3 voltage, ground and
control circuit enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses a 0-12 volt linear-ramped
signal to command the actuator movement. The 0 and 12 volt control values represent the opposite
limits of the actuator range of motion. The values in between 0-12 volts correspond to the positions
between the limits.
When the HVAC control module sets a commanded, or targeted, value, the control signal is set to a
value between 0-12 volts. The actuator shaft rotates until the commanded position is reached. The
module will maintain the control value until a new commanded value is needed. When full cold is
selected, a low voltage, near ground, is applied to control circuit. When full hot is selected, a high
voltage, 12 volts, is applied to the control circuit.

This bulletin is being revised to delete a model and add information to subject and inspection of
distributor vent screens. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-06-04-041 (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on poor engine performance and the Service Engine Soon/Check
Engine light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0300 set.
Cause
This condition may be due to high levels of internal corrosion in the distributor, causing misfire,
rough idle, stall and Engine Cranks But Does Not Run. This corrosion is attributed to a lack of
airflow internal to the cap caused by the vent screens being clogged with debris.
Correction
Remove the vent screens and inspect the internal components of the Distributor Ignition System
using the procedure listed below. If the distributor base has to be replaced, the vent screens will
also have to be removed on the new distributor. If there is evidence of this internal corrosion,
replace the affected component. Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Engine Controls
sub-section of the applicable Service Manual.
Important:
All of these inspections can be done on-vehicle.
1. Inspect the distributor cap. You may notice a white residue on the cap walls. For higher mileage
occurrences, the interior of the cap may have changed to medium brown in color
2. Inspect the distributor rotor. You may notice the presence of black streaks on the plastic surface.
More typical evidence would be visible green spots on the copper surface of the rotor segment.
3. Inspect the distributor base. You may notice high levels of surface rust on the distributor shaft or
surface contamination on the sensor hold down screws.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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-C 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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION
If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the
wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire.

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

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.

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 43907 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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-C. 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: 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-C 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-C 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.

- Solenoids - The solenoids are commanded by the EBCM to operate the appropriate valves in the
brake pressure modulator valve,
^ Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) - The BPMV uses a 3-circuit configuration to control the
left front wheel, the right front wheel, and the combined rear wheels. The BPMV directs fluid to the
left front and right front wheels independently. The BPMV directs fluid to the two rear wheels on a
single hydraulic circuit. The BPMV contains the following components: Pump Motor
- Three isolation valves (one for each hydraulic circuit)
- Three dump valves (one for each hydraulic circuit)
- A front low-pressure accumulator
- A rear low-pressure accumulator
^ Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS) - As the front wheels spin, a toothed ring located at each wheel
hub interrupts a magnetic field in the wheel speed sensors. This causes the wheel speed sensors
to generate an AC signal. The EBCM uses this AC signal to calculate the wheel speed. The wheel
speed sensors are replaceable only as part of the wheel hub and bearing assemblies. Any
imperfections in the toothed ring, such as a missing or damaged tooth, can cause an inaccurate
WSS signal.
^ Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) - The input signal for rear wheel speed originates with the VSS. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives rear wheel speed information from the VSS and
supplies this information to the EBCM via a serial data message.

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-C 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.

Glove Compartment Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair
KEY AND LOCK CYLINDER CODING
KEY IDENTIFICATION AND USAGE
The lock cylinder keyway is designed so that other model keys will not enter a current model lock
cylinder. A single key is used for all locks on the vehicle.
The key identification is obtained from the four-character key code stamped on the knockout
portion of the key head. Knock the plugs out of the key head after code numbers have been
recorded. The code list, available to owners of key cutting equipment from equipment suppliers,
determines the lock combinations from the code numbers.
CUTTING KEYS
After the code has been determined from the code list or the key code diagram, perform the
following steps: 1. Cut a blank key to the proper level of each of the tumbler positions. 2. Inspect
the key operation in the lock cylinder.
REPLACEMENT LOCK CYLINDERS
New lock cylinders (except ignition lock cylinders) are available from the service parts warehouse
with new lock cylinder locking bars. The tumblers are also available and must be assembled into
the cylinder as recommended. For additional information, refer to the following.
LOCK CYLINDER TUMBLER OPERATION
All lock tumblers are shaped alike with the exception of the notched position on one side. As the
key is inserted into the lock cylinder, the tumblers are lowered to the correct height so that notches
on each tumbler are at the same level. When the notches on all 6 tumblers line up, 2 small springs
push the side bar into the notches, allowing the cylinder to turn in the cylinder bore. Five types of
tumblers are used in making the lock combinations, and each is coded and stamped with a number
between 1 and 5.

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-C 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.

Drive Belt Whine Diagnosis Step 1 - 5
Diagnostic Aids The drive belt(s) will not cause the whine noise. If the whine noise is intermittent,
verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their
maximum capacity. Such items but not limited to may be an A/C system overcharged, the power
steering system restricted or the wrong fluid, or the generator failing.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 3. This test is
to verify that the noise is being caused by the drive belt(s) or the accessory drive components.
When removing the drive belt the water
pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is
operating with the drive belt removed.
4. The inspection should include checking the drive belt tensioner and the drive belt idler pulley
bearings. The drive belt(s) 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 inspection and replacement procedure.

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.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CKP sensor is a three wire sensor based on the magneto resistive principle. A magneto
resistive sensor uses two magnetic pickups between a permanent magnet. As an element such as
a reluctor wheel passes the magnets the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the
sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The PCM supplies a 12-volt, low reference,
and signal circuit to the CKP sensor. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF pulse 3 times per
crankshaft revolution for the V6 engine, 4 times for the V8 engine. The CKP sensor reads the
crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel to identify pairs of cylinders at Top Dead Center (TDC).

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-C 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.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Notice: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme 11, GM
P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake
fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may
cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings
of hydraulic brake system components.
1. Secure the mounting flange of the brake master cylinder in a bench vise so that the rear of the
primary piston is accessible.
2. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 3. Install suitable fittings to the master
cylinder ports that match the type of flare seat required and also provide for hose attachment. 4.
Install transparent hoses to the fittings installed to the master cylinder ports, then route the hoses
into the master cylinder reservoir. 5. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to at least the half-way point
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.
6. Ensure that the ends of the transparent hoses running into the master cylinder reservoir are fully
submerged in the brake fluid. 7. Using a smooth, round-ended tool, depress and release the
primary piston as far as it will travel, a depth of about 25 mm (1 lbs.), several times.
Observe the flow of fluid coming from the ports. As air is bled from the primary and secondary
pistons, the effort required to depress the primary piston will increase and the amount of travel will
decrease.
8. Continue to depress and release the primary piston until fluid flows freely from the ports with no
evidence of air bubbles. 9. Remove the transparent hoses from the master cylinder reservoir.
10. Install the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 11. Remove the fittings with the

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 01-08-42-001H
Date: January 05, 2011
Subject: Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement Guidelines
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 01-08-42-001G (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The following information is being provided to better define the causes of condensation in exterior
lamps and includes guidelines for determining the difference between a lamp with a normal
atmospheric condition (condensation) and a lamp with a water leak.
Some exterior lamps, such as cornering, turn signal, backup, headlamps or tail lamps may exhibit
very small droplets of water, a fine mist or white fog (condensation) on the inside of the lamp lens.
This may be more noticeable on lamps with "multi-lens" designs and may be normal during certain
weather conditions.
Condensation occurs when the air inside the lamp assembly, through atmospheric changes,
reaches the "dew point". When this takes place, the moisture in the air within the lamp assembly
condenses, creating a fine mist or white fog on the inside surface of the lamp lens.
Most exterior lamps on General Motors vehicles use a vented design and feature a replaceable
bulb assembly. They are designed to remove any accumulated moisture vapor by expelling it
through a vent system. The vent system operates at all times, however, it is most effective when
the lamps are ON or when the vehicle is in motion. Depending on the size, shape and location of
the lamp on the vehicle, and the atmospheric conditions occurring, the amount of time required to
clear the lamp may vary from 2 to 6 hours.
Completely sealed headlamp assemblies (sealed beams) are still used on a limited number of
models being manufactured today. These lamps require the replacement of the complete lamp
assembly if a bulb filament burns out.
Condensation 2006 TrailBlazer Shown
A Fine Mist or White Fog on the Inside Surface of the Lamp Lens Occurring After a Period of High
Humidity
- May be located primarily in the lens corners (near the vents) and SHOULD NOT cover more than
half the lens surface.
- The condition should clear of moisture when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment, or when
the vehicle is driven with the lights ON.
- A comparison of the equivalent lamp on the opposing side of the vehicle indicates a SIMILAR
performance.
If the above conditions are noted, the customer should be advised that replacement of a lamp
assembly may not correct this condition.

Information Bus: Description and Operation
DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data line.
The serial data line is the means by which the microprocessor-controlled modules in the vehicle
communicate with each other. Once the scan tool is connected to the class 2 serial data line
through the DLC, the scan tool can be used to monitor each module for diagnostic purposes and to
check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Class 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.
On some vehicles, if the PCM is unable to communicate with the VTD system after the vehicle has
started, the PCM will consider the VTD system to be malfunctioning. The PCM will enter a fail
enable state and will command the security indicator to illuminate. When the PCM is in a fail enable
state the vehicle will NOT stall or stop running. If the PCM is in a fail enable state when the ignition
is switched OFF, the PCM will remain fail enable until communications with the VTD system has
been restored. When the PCM is in a fail enable state the VTD system is NOT active and the
vehicle will start. This feature is NOT available on all GM vehicle lines.
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.
- Class 2 serial data at terminal 2.
- Common signal ground at terminal 5.
CLASS 2 SERIAL DATA LINE
The class 2 serial data line on this vehicle is a ring/star configuration. The following modules
communicate on the class 2 serial data line: The body control module (BCM)
- The driver information center (DIC)
- The electronic brake control module (EBCM)
- The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
- The instrument panel cluster (IPC)
- The memory seat module-driver
- The powertrain control module (PCM)
- The radio
- The transfer case shift control module
DIAGNOSTIC ENABLE CIRCUIT W/NP1
The transfer case shift control module is equipped with the ability to store diagnostic information,
which is useful to a technician in the event of module, component or wiring concerns. This
information can be retrieved via the diagnostic enable circuit from the transfer case shift control
module by way of flash codes, which are displayed on the three transfer case shift control switch
buttons. These buttons are located on the instrument panel to the right of the steering wheel. For
diagnosis of this circuit, refer to Diagnostic Starting Point - Transfer Case in Transfer Case-NVG
233-NP1.

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation
The Multec 2 fuel injector assembly is a solenoid device controlled by the control module that
meters pressurized fuel to a single engine cylinder. The control module energizes the
high-impedance, 12 ohms, injector solenoid to open a normally closed ball valve. This allows fuel to
flow into the top of the injector, past the ball valve, and through a director plate at the injector outlet.
The director plate has four machined holes that control the fuel flow, generating a spray of finely
atomized fuel at the injector tip. Fuel from the injector tip is directed at the intake valve, causing the
fuel to become further atomized and vaporized before entering the combustion chamber. This fine
atomization improves fuel economy and emissions.

The theft deterrent system is a feature on all base and uplevel radios. There is no need to program
a security code into the radio as in past model years. The theft deterrent system now utilizes class
2 serial data to determine if the radio is in the appropriate vehicle. Each time the radio receives the
"run" power mode message, it compares the VIN information it has stored to the VIN information
received from a module on the class 2 serial data circuit responsible for transmitting that
information. If a mis-match occurs, the radio display will indicate to the user the radio is locked.
Once this takes place the radio will not respond to any button presses and become inoperative.
The two scenarios able to cause this condition are: 1. A radio is installed from another vehicle 2. A
module which communicates on the class 2 serial data circuit which supplies VIN information to the
radio is replaced and not properly setup
with the correct VIN information for that vehicle
The only way to unlock the radio is by using a scan tool. Always refer to the diagnostic table for
further information.
Integral Multi Disc CD Changer (IMDX) The integral multi disc CD changer has the capability of
storing and playing up to six (6) compact discs. The integral multi disc CD changer has a
shock-absorbing system. Only under extreme operating temperatures or severe shock or vibration
should the compact disc player skip or mute. If the customer travels an abnormally rough road, a
skip condition may be normal. Test drive the vehicle on a normal road with a known good CD. If the
condition is still present, replace the radio.
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD
optics with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
Single Disc Loading To operate the integral multi disc CD changer in the single play mode, press
the "LOAD" button for less than two seconds. The LED to the right of the disc door will turn green
to indicate the CD can be loaded. Insert the disc into the slot, label side up. The player will pull the
disc in.
Multi Disc Loading To operate the changer in the multi disc mode, press the "LOAD" button for
more than two seconds and the LED to the right of the disc door will flash. Once the light stops
flashing and turns green you can load a disc. Insert the disc into the slot, label side up. The player
will pull the disc in. Once the disc is loaded, the light will begin flashing again. Once the light stops
flashing and turns green you can load another disc.

displayed.
- To remove multiple discs, press and hold the eject button for two seconds. An audible beep is
heard and the LED to the right of the disc door begins to flash indicating a disc is being ejected.
The message "REMOVE CD" is displayed.
Radio Data System (RDS) All uplevel audio systems are equipped with technology known as the
Radio Data System (RDS). RDS is a system that sends data along with the audio of the FM station
you are currently tuned to. RDS is a standard that defines how a FM broadcast station may send
digital data along with the audio program. Think of it as a one way wireless modem, allowing the
broadcaster to send information about his program to your receiver.
RDS data is carried in what is known as a "sub-carrier". A sub-carrier is a frequency that the FM
broadcaster is authorized to use to send data or other audio programs that are not audible in the
main audio program. RDS information can be used to display program information and to control
the radio.
To receive the RDS signal, all that is needed is an FM receiver with a RDS circuit. A special
integrated circuit capable of dealing with the RDS signal is in the RDS circuit and passes it along to
the receiver's microprocessor where it is decoded and acted upon.
RDS Basic Information RDS basic information: RDS functions are provided in the FM broadcast band only.
- RDS functions will only work with FM broadcast stations that are broadcasting RDS data.
- Not all FM Broadcast stations broadcast RDS data or offer all of the RDS services.
- RDS functions may not work properly when reception is weak, reception is of poor quality, or RDS
is not implemented properly by the FM Broadcaster.
In some cases, a radio station broadcasting incorrect information may cause the RDS features of
the radio to appear to work improperly. Broadcast RDS information can be used in a variety of
ways by the receiver and listener, but basically falls into two categories: Display and Control.
Displaying Program Information RDS displays textual information such as: The name of the station.
- The type of program.
- General information such as artist and song title, call in phone numbers, etc. RDS is always on.
When tuned to a non-RDS station, your radio will display frequency information as you would
normally expect. When tuned to a RDS station, your radio will change from displaying the

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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 manual. 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.
OnStar(R) - Loss of GPS Signal/Hands Free Issues

Bulletin No.: 02-08-46-007C
Date: November 19, 2007
INFORMATION
Subject: Information on OnStar(R) System - Possible Loss of GPS Signal, Hands-Free Calling
Minutes Expire Prematurely and/or Inability to Add Hands-Free Calling Minutes
Models: 2001-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2008
HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X

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

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.

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

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

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

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

The 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.

1. Coat the threads of the oxygen sensor with anti-seize compound GM P/N 5613695, if necessary.
IMPORTANT: A special anti-seize compound is used on the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn
away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service
replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed
from an engine and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have
anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.

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

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.

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.

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-C 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.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 02-08-42-001D
Date: June 21, 2010
Subject: Headlamp Lens Overheating When Covered and Chemical Damage to Exterior
Polycarbonate Headlamp Lenses
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2,
H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and to revise the warning statements.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-42-001C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The bulletin is being issued to make dealers and customers aware of chemical damage that may
be caused to exterior polycarbonate headlamp lenses. Most late model vehicles have these types
of headlamp lenses. This material is used because of its temperature and high impact resistance.
A variety of chemicals can cause crazing or cracking of the headlamp lens. Headlamp lenses are
very sensitive. Care should be exercised to avoid contact with all exterior headlamp lenses when
treating a vehicle with any type of chemical, such as those recommended for rail dust removal.
Rubbing compound, grease tar and oil removers, tire cleaners, cleaner waxes and even car wash
soaps in too high a concentration may also attribute to this condition. This could result in the need
to replace the entire headlamp housing.
Warning
Use only lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a car washing soap to clean exterior lamps and
lenses.
Also, crazing or deformations of the lens may occur if a shop mat or fender cover is draped over
the fender and covers a portion or all of the headlamp assembly while the DRL or headlamps are
on. This action restricts the amount of heat dissipated by the headlamps.
Warning
Care should be taken to not cover headlamps with shop mats or fender covers if the vehicle is
being serviced with the headlamps or DRL illuminated. Covering an illuminated lamp can cause
excessive heat build up and crazing/deformation of the lens may occur. The degradation of the lens
can be unnoticeable at first and eventually become hairline cracks in the lens. In extreme cases, it
could cause the lens to deform. This damage can also be caused by aftermarket shields that are
often tinted in color.
Once a heat buildup is generated by the headlamp, a degradation of the headlamp lens begins.
This degradation of the lens can be unnoticeable at first and eventually manifest as spider cracks.
In more extreme cases, it will begin to melt the lens of the headlamp.
Notice
Headlamps damaged by chemicals, improper cleaning, or overheating due to being covered are
not covered under the new vehicle warranty.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to delete a model and add information to subject and inspection of
distributor vent screens. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-06-04-041 (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on poor engine performance and the Service Engine Soon/Check
Engine light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0300 set.
Cause
This condition may be due to high levels of internal corrosion in the distributor, causing misfire,
rough idle, stall and Engine Cranks But Does Not Run. This corrosion is attributed to a lack of
airflow internal to the cap caused by the vent screens being clogged with debris.
Correction
Remove the vent screens and inspect the internal components of the Distributor Ignition System
using the procedure listed below. If the distributor base has to be replaced, the vent screens will
also have to be removed on the new distributor. If there is evidence of this internal corrosion,
replace the affected component. Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Engine Controls
sub-section of the applicable Service Manual.
Important:
All of these inspections can be done on-vehicle.
1. Inspect the distributor cap. You may notice a white residue on the cap walls. For higher mileage
occurrences, the interior of the cap may have changed to medium brown in color
2. Inspect the distributor rotor. You may notice the presence of black streaks on the plastic surface.
More typical evidence would be visible green spots on the copper surface of the rotor segment.
3. Inspect the distributor base. You may notice high levels of surface rust on the distributor shaft or
surface contamination on the sensor hold down screws.

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

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

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-A 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

Seat Heater: 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 manual. 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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.

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.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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.

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:

Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis Step 1 - 8
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(s) 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 replacing the
drive belt(s), completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the drive belt(s) is
installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the load on the
different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the
rumbling noise.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) 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(s) is causing the rumbling noise.
Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the
similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive
belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may
overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspecting the drive belt(s) is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the
ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt
separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt
our felt as a lump in the belt.
5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive
belt does not have a smooth surface for proper
operation.

2. Install the control valve body to the transmission case while simultaneously connecting the
manual valve link to the manual valve.
3. Verify that the manual valve link (3) is installed properly to the inside detent lever (1) and the
manual valve (2).
4. Install one bolt (M6 X 1.0 X 47.5) hand tight in the center (1) of the valve body to hold it in place.
Important: When installing bolts throughout this procedure, be sure to use the correct bolt size and
length in the correct location as specified.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a rattle coming from either or both front corners of the
instrument panel near the hood hinge areas. This noise may often be mistaken for a loose shock
absorber. The rattle may be heard when driving over rough roads and is most noticeable when the
road surface creates a side-to-side vehicle motion.
Cause
Excessive clearance at the hood hinge attaching bolt may cause this condition. The excessive
clearance allows the hood hinge to make metal contact with the hood hinge bracket, which
produces a rattling noise.
Correction
Important:
For additional information, see the Body Front End subsection of the Body and Accessories
Section of the appropriate Service Manual.
1. Remove the hood hinge attaching bolt (1).
2. Install a spring washer (2) on the bolt as shown in above illustration.
3. Install the bolt.

The smearing of the metal is due to slippage. Slippage can be caused by the following factors: ^
Poor fits
^ Lubrication
^ Overheating
^ Overloads
^ Handling damage
If this condition occurs, perform the following: 1. Check the seals. 2. Check for proper fit. 3. Check
for proper lubrication. 4. Clean all the parts and the housings. 5. Replace the bearings.
Stain Discoloration
The discoloration on the bearings is caused by incorrect lubrication or moisture and ranges in color
from light brown to black. Reuse the bearing if you can remove the stains with light polishing and
there is no evidence of overheating. If this condition occurs, perform the following: 1. Check the
seals. 2. Clean all the parts and the housings. 3. Replace the bearings, if necessary.
Heat Discoloration
The heat discoloration on the bearings ranges from faint yellow to dark blue and results from
overload or an incorrect lubricant. Excessive heat causes softening of the races or the rollers. In
order to check for loss of temper on the races and the rollers, perform a file test. A file drawn over a
tempered part will grab and cut the metal and fail the file test. A file drawn over a hard part will glide
with no metal cutting. If overheating damage is indicated, perform the following: 1. Check the seals.
2. Clean all the parts and the housings. 3. Replace the bearings.

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

Fuel Supply Line: Service and Repair Fuel Hose/Pipes Assembly Replacement (Fuel Pipe Repair)
Steel fuel lines-These are welded steel tubes, meeting GM specifications 124-M, or the equivalent.
The fuel feed line is 9.5 mm (3/8 inches) diameter and the fuel return line is 8 mm (5/16 inches)
diameter. Do not use copper or aluminum tubing to replace steel tubing. Those materials do not
have satisfactory durability to withstand normal vehicle vibration.
Coupled hose-Do not repair the hoses. Replace them only as an assembly.
Uncoupled hose-Use only reinforced fuel resistant hose, made of Fluoroelastomer material. Do not
use a hose within 100 mm (4 in) of any part of the exhaust system, or within 2154 mm (10 in) of the
catalytic converter. The hoses inside diameter must match the outside diameter of the steel tubing.
Clamps-These are stainless steel, screw bank-type clamps, #2494772, or equivalent.
Steel Fuel Line Repair 1. Cut a piece of fuel hose 100 mm (4 in) longer than the section of line to
be removed. If you remove more than 152 mm (6 in), use a combination
of steel pipe and hose. The hose length should not be more than 2154 mm (10 in) total.
2. With a tube cutter, cut a section of the pipe to replace. Use the first step on the reamer to form a
bead on the ends of the pipe and, also, on the new

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.

end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CKP sensor is a three wire sensor based on the magneto resistive principle. A magneto
resistive sensor uses two magnetic pickups between a permanent magnet. As an element such as
a reluctor wheel passes the magnets the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the
sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The PCM supplies a 12-volt, low reference,
and signal circuit to the CKP sensor. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF pulse 3 times per
crankshaft revolution for the V6 engine, 4 times for the V8 engine. The CKP sensor reads the
crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel to identify pairs of cylinders at Top Dead Center (TDC).

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.

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year and additional engines with E85
capability. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-04-035B (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Customer Interest in E85 Fuel
As the retail price of gasoline increases, some locations in the country are seeing price differentials
between regular gasoline and E85 where E85 is selling for substantially less than regular grade
gasoline. One result of this is that some customers have inquired if they are able to use E85 fuel in
non-E85 compatible vehicles.
Only vehicles designated for use with E85 should use E85 blended fuel.
E85 compatibility is designated for vehicles that are certified to run on up to 85% ethanol and 15%
gasoline. All other gasoline engines are designed to run on fuel that contains no more than 10%
ethanol.
Use of fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol in non-E85 designated vehicles can cause
driveability issues, service engine soon indicators as well as increased fuel system corrosion.
Using E85 Fuels in Non-Compatible Vehicles
General Motors is aware of an increased number of cases where customers have fueled
non-FlexFuel designated vehicles with E85. Fueling non-FlexFuel designated vehicles with E85, or
with fuels where the concentration of ethanol exceeds the ASTM specification of 10%, will result in
one or more of the following conditions:
Lean Driveability concerns such as hesitations, sags and/or possible stalling.
SES lights due to OBD codes.
Fuel Trim codes P0171 and/or P0174.
Misfire codes (P0300).
Various 02 sensor codes.
Disabled traction control or Stability System disabled messages.
Harsh/Firm transmission shifts.
Fuel system and/or engine mechanical component degradation.
Use of fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol in non-E85 designated vehicles can cause
driveability issues, service engine soon indicators as well as increased fuel system corrosion.
If the dealer suspects that a non-FlexFuel designated vehicle brought in for service has been
fueled with E85, the fuel in the vehicle's tank should be checked for alcohol content with tool J
44175. If the alcohol content exceeds 10% the fuel should be drained and the vehicle refilled with
gasoline - preferably one of the Top Tier brands.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

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-C 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.

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

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.

Page 5076
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

SPARK PLUG INSPECTION
1. Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage.
- Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1).
- Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should
NOT move.
2. Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, soot. This is caused by the electrical
charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the
terminal post (1) and ground. Inspect for the following conditions: Inspect the spark plug boot for damage.
- Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or
water. A spark plug boot that is saturated causes arcing to ground.

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.
Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in Service
Precautions.
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: 3.1.
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.
3.2. 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.
3.3. Allow a small amount of brake fluid to gravity bleed from the open port of the master cylinder.
3.4. Reconnect the brake pipe to the master cylinder port and tighten securely.
3.5. Have an assistant slowly depress the brake pedal fully and maintain steady pressure on the
pedal.
3.6. Loosen the same brake pipe to purge air from the open port of the master cylinder.
3.7. Tighten the brake pipe, then have the assistant slowly release the brake pedal.
3.8. Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 3.3-3.7 until all air is purged from the same port of the
master cylinder.
3.9. 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.
3.10. 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 J35589-A to the brake master cylinder reservoir. 6. Check the brake fluid level in the
J29532, or equivalent. Add Delco Supreme 11, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or
equivalent

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

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the
ignition timing advance for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from
potentially damaging levels of detonation. The sensors in the KS system are used by the PCM as
microphones to listen for abnormal engine noise that may indicate pre-ignition/detonation.
SENSOR DESCRIPTION
There are 2 types of KS currently being used: The broadband single wire sensor
- The flat response 2-wire sensor
Both sensors use piezo-electric crystal technology to produce and send signals to the PCM. The
amplitude and frequency of this signal will vary constantly depending on the vibration level within
the engine. Flat response and broadband KS signals are processed differently by the PCM. The
major differences are outlined below: All broadband sensors use a single wire circuit. Some types of controllers will output a bias voltage
on the KS signal wire. The bias voltage creates a voltage drop the PCM monitors and uses to help
diagnose KS faults. The KS noise signal rides along this bias voltage, and due to the constantly
fluctuating frequency and amplitude of the signal, will always be outside the bias voltage
parameters. Another way to use the KS signals is for the PCM to learn the average normal noise
output from the KS. The PCM uses this noise channel, and KS signal that rides along the noise
channel, in much the same way as the bias voltage type does. Both systems will constantly monitor
the KS system for a signal that is not present or falls within the noise channel.
- The flat response KS uses a 2-wire circuit. The KS signal rides within a noise channel which is
learned and output by the PCM. This noise channel is based upon the normal noise input from the
KS and is known as background noise. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper
and lower parameters will change to accommodate the KS signal, keeping the signal within the
channel. If there is knock, the signal will range outside the noise channel and the PCM will reduce
spark advance until the knock is reduced. These sensors are monitored in much the same way as
the broadband sensors, except that an abnormal signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will
not be present.
KS diagnostics can be calibrated to detect faults with the KS diagnostic inside the PCM, the KS
wiring, the sensor output, or constant knocking from an outside influence such as a loose or
damaged component. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the PCM uses KS signal
information when the cylinders are near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke.

- 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.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling
Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis Step 1 - 8
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(s) 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 replacing the
drive belt(s), completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the drive belt(s) is
installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the load on the
different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the
rumbling noise.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) 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(s) is causing the rumbling noise.
Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the
similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive
belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may
overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspecting the drive belt(s) is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the
ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt
separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt
our felt as a lump in the belt.
5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive
belt does not have a smooth surface for proper
operation.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Repair Order Questionnaire attached to this bulletin.
4. Attach the Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire below along with the print-out of
"Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements to
the Repair Order and retain for use by GM.
Wheel Alignment Equipment and Process
Wheel alignments must be performed with a quality machine that will give accurate results when
performing checks. "External Reference" (image-based camera technology) is preferred. Please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-00-89-029B: General Motors Dealership Critical Equipment
Requirements and Recommendations.
Requirements:
- Computerized four wheel alignment system.
- Computer capable of printing before and after alignment reports.
- Computer capable of time and date stamp printout.
- Racking system must have jacking capability
- Racking system must be capable of level to 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
- Appropriate wheel stops and safety certification
- Built-in turn plates and slip plates
- Wheel clamps capable of attaching to 20" or larger wheels
- Racking capable of accepting any GM passenger car or light duty truck
- Operator properly trained and ASE-certified (U.S. only) in wheel alignment
Recommendations:
Racking should have front and rear jacking capability.
Equipment Maintenance and Calibration:
Alignment machines must be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information. Most
manufacturers recommend the following:
- Alignment machines with "internal reference" sensors should be checked (and calibrated, if
necessary) every six months.
- Alignment machines with "external reference" (image-based camera technology) should be
checked (and calibrated, if necessary) once a year.
- Racks must be kept level to within 1.6 mm (1/16 in).
- If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged in some way,
check the calibration immediately.
Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration
schedule.
Wheel Alignment Process
When performing wheel alignment measurement and/or adjustment, the following steps should be
taken:
Preliminary Steps:
1. Verify that the vehicle has a full tank of fuel (compensate as necessary). 2. Inspect the wheels
and the tires for damage. 3. Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. 4.
Inspect the wheel bearings for excessive play. 5. Inspect all suspension and steering parts for
looseness, wear, or damage. 6. Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to
stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. 7. Inspect the vehicle trim height. 8. Compensate
for frame angle on targeted vehicles (refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI).
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment angles. However, if the
wheel alignment angles are not within the range of specifications, adjust the wheel alignment to the
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI. Give consideration to excess loads,
such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. Follow the wheel alignment equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
Measure/Adjust:
Important Prior to making any adjustments to wheel alignment on a vehicle, technicians must verify
that the wheel alignment specifications loaded into their wheel alignment machine are up-to-date
by comparing these to the wheel alignment specifications for the appropriate model and model year
in SI. Using incorrect and/or outdated specifications may result in unnecessary adjustments,
irregular and/or premature tire wear and repeat customer concerns
Page 6275
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

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.

6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable.
8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 World terminals. Soldering
Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the
terminal.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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.
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.

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 manual. 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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

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-C 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.

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.

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

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

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

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

Alignment: Description and Operation Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when
viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear and is not
adjustable on this vehicle. 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 louver 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 thigh 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.

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.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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.

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.

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.

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%.

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.

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

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-C 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.

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.

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

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

Condition
Some owners may comment on a rough running condition or a Service Engine Soon (SES) light
being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find a DTC code P0300 or P0335.
Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

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)

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.

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-C 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-C 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.

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

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

- 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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

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-C 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.

- Reduce the duplication of requirements for a large number of internal GM engine oil
specifications.
International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
GF-5 Standard
In addition to GM dexos 1(TM), a new International Lubricants Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) standard called GF-5, was introduced in October 2010.
- There will be a corresponding API category, called: SN Resource Conserving. The current GF-4
standard was put in place in 2004 and will become obsolete in October 2011. Similar to dexos
1(TM), the GF-5 standard will use a new fuel economy test, Sequence VID, which demands a
statistically significant increase in fuel economy versus the Sequence VIB test that was used for
GF-4.
- It is expected that all dexos 1(TM) approved oils will be capable of meeting the GF-5 standard.
However, not all GF-5 engine oils will be capable of meeting the dexos 1(TM) specification.
- Like dexos(TM), the new ILSAC GF-5 standard will call for more sophisticated additives. The API
will begin licensing marketers during October 2010, to produce and distribute GF-5 certified
products, which are expected to include SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 oils.

doubled, while the fuel economy of light trucks has increased by more than 50 percent. Proposed
CAFE standards call for a continuation of increased fuel economy in new cars and trucks. To meet
these future requirements, all aspects of vehicle operation are being looked at more critically than
ever before.
New technology being introduced in GM vehicles designed to increase vehicle efficiency and fuel
economy include direct injection, cam phasing, turbocharging and active fuel management (AFM).
The demands of these new technologies on engine oil also are taken into consideration when
determining new oil specifications. AFM for example can help to achieve improved fuel economy.
However alternately deactivating and activating the cylinders by not allowing the intake and
exhaust valves to open contributes to additional stress on the engine oil.
Another industry trend for meeting tough fuel economy mandates has been a shift toward lower
viscosity oils.
dexos 1(TM) will eventually be offered in several viscosity grades in accordance with engine needs:
SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30 and 5W-30.
Using the right viscosity grade oil is critical for proper engine performance. Always refer to the
Maintenance section of a vehicle Owner Manual for the proper viscosity grade for the engine being
serviced.
GM Oil Life System in Conjunction With dexos (TM) Supports Extended Oil Change Intervals
To help conserve oil while maintaining engine protection, many GM vehicles are equipped with the
GM Oil Life System. This system can provide oil change intervals that exceed the traditional 3,000
mile (4,830 km) recommendation.
The dexos (TM) specification, with its requirements for improved oil robustness, compliments the
GM Oil Life System by supporting extended oil change intervals over the lifetime of a vehicle.
If all GM customers with GM Oil Life System equipped vehicles would use the system as intended,
GM estimates that more than 100 million gallons of oil could be saved annually.

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.

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

- 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

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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.

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-C 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-C 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.
Page 4543
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).

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

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.

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.

Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at
the top, the camber is negative (-I). 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.
Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when
viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear and is not
adjustable on this vehicle. 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 louver 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 thigh 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.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener
seating

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-C 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-C 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.

Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Notice: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme 11, GM
P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake
fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may
cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings
of hydraulic brake system components.
1. Secure the mounting flange of the brake master cylinder in a bench vise so that the rear of the
primary piston is accessible.
2. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 3. Install suitable fittings to the master
cylinder ports that match the type of flare seat required and also provide for hose attachment. 4.
Install transparent hoses to the fittings installed to the master cylinder ports, then route the hoses
into the master cylinder reservoir. 5. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to at least the half-way point
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.
6. Ensure that the ends of the transparent hoses running into the master cylinder reservoir are fully
submerged in the brake fluid. 7. Using a smooth, round-ended tool, depress and release the
primary piston as far as it will travel, a depth of about 25 mm (1 lbs.), several times.
Observe the flow of fluid coming from the ports. As air is bled from the primary and secondary
pistons, the effort required to depress the primary piston will increase and the amount of travel will
decrease.
8. Continue to depress and release the primary piston until fluid flows freely from the ports with no
evidence of air bubbles. 9. Remove the transparent hoses from the master cylinder reservoir.
10. Install the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 11. Remove the fittings with the
transparent hoses from the master cylinder ports. Wrap the master cylinder with a clean shop cloth
to prevent brake
fluid spills.
12. Remove the master cylinder from the vise.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener
seating

- 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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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).

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Lock Cylinder Switch: Description and Operation
PASSLOCK(TM) SENSOR
The Passlock(tm) sensor is inside the upper right side of the steering column. 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.

2012 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with Adjustable Head Restraints
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-003 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Important ON A GM VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINTS, USE THE
HEAD RESTRAINT COVERS, FOAM AND OTHER SEAT-RELATED EQUIPMENT AS
RELEASED BY GM FOR THAT VEHICLE. DO NOT ALTER OR REPOSITION THE HEAD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM. ANY ALTERATIONS TO HEAD RESTRAINTS DEFEATS THE INTENDED
DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM. GM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY USE
OF SUCH IMPROPER DESIGN ALTERATIONS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS
INCURRED.
You may have a customer with a concern that the head restraint is uncomfortable or sits too far
forward. The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with head restraints that have been
designed to help minimize injuries while still providing comfort to the occupants. Each GM vehicle
has its own specifically designed head restraint.
The head restraints should only be used in the vehicle for which they were designed. The head
restraint will not operate to its design intent if the original foam is replaced (1) by non-GM foam or
head restraint, (2) by GM foam or head restraint designed for a different vehicle, (3) by GM foam or
head restraint that has been altered by a trim shop or (4) if any object, such as an aftermarket
comfort enhancing pad or device, is installed.
Never modify the design of the head restraint or remove the head restraint from the vehicle as this
may interfere with the operation of the seating and restraint systems and may prevent proper
positioning of the passenger within the vehicle.

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

This bulletin is being revised to delete a model and add information to subject and inspection of
distributor vent screens. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-06-04-041 (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on poor engine performance and the Service Engine Soon/Check
Engine light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0300 set.
Cause
This condition may be due to high levels of internal corrosion in the distributor, causing misfire,
rough idle, stall and Engine Cranks But Does Not Run. This corrosion is attributed to a lack of
airflow internal to the cap caused by the vent screens being clogged with debris.
Correction
Remove the vent screens and inspect the internal components of the Distributor Ignition System
using the procedure listed below. If the distributor base has to be replaced, the vent screens will
also have to be removed on the new distributor. If there is evidence of this internal corrosion,
replace the affected component. Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Engine Controls
sub-section of the applicable Service Manual.
Important:
All of these inspections can be done on-vehicle.
1. Inspect the distributor cap. You may notice a white residue on the cap walls. For higher mileage
occurrences, the interior of the cap may have changed to medium brown in color
2. Inspect the distributor rotor. You may notice the presence of black streaks on the plastic surface.
More typical evidence would be visible green spots on the copper surface of the rotor segment.
3. Inspect the distributor base. You may notice high levels of surface rust on the distributor shaft or
surface contamination on the sensor hold down screws.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Vehicle/Powertrain Control Module & the BCM
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.

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

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT END DISCRIMINATING SENSOR
The front end discriminating sensor is equipped on some vehicles to supplement SIR system
performance. The discriminating sensor is an electro-mechanical sensor and is not part of the
deployment loops, but instead provides an input to the SDM. The SDM uses the input from the
discriminating sensor 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.

Lock Cylinder Switch: Description and Operation
PASSLOCK(TM) SENSOR
The Passlock(tm) sensor is inside the upper right side of the steering column. 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.

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.

Drive Belt Squeal Diagnosis Step 1 - 9
Diagnostic Aids A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or
other items of the vehicle may cause the squeal noise. If the noise is intermittent, verify the
accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their
maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system, power steering system with a pinched hose or
wrong fluid, or a generator failing are suggested items to inspect.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise
may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is
not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for
a brief period will verify the squeal noise is the
drive belt(s) or an accessory drive component. When removing the drive belt the water pump may
not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating
with the drive belt removed.
4. This test is to verify that an accessory drive component does not have a seized bearing. With the
belt remove test the bearings in the accessory
drive components for turning smoothly. Also test the accessory drive components with the engine
operating by varying the load on the components to verify that the components operate properly.
5. This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is
not operating properly, proper belt tension may not
be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal noise.
6. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt
tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect
length drive belt was installed, it may not be routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive
component in the wrong direction.
7. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
8. This test is to verify that the pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known good
vehicle compare the pulley sizes.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
1. Ensure that the vehicle batteries are in good condition, and fully charged. 2. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. 3. Disconnect the positive ignition coil wire plug
from the ignition coil. 4. Disconnect the fuel injector electrical connector. 5. Remove all of the spark
plugs.
Notice: Do not insert objects into the throttle plate opening. Damage to the throttle body can result,
requiring replacement of the throttle body assembly.
6. Block the throttle linkage wide open. 7. Install the engine cylinder compression gage to the
cylinder being tested. 8. Using the vehicle starter motor, rotate, or crank the engine for 4
compression strokes, or puffs, for the cylinder being tested. If the engine rotates
for more than 4 compression strokes, test the cylinder again.
9. Record the compression reading.
10. Remove the engine cylinder compression gage from the cylinder being tested. 11. Repeat
steps 8 - 11 for each additional cylinder. All cylinders must be tested to obtain valid test results. 12.
If any cylinders have low compression, inject approximately 15 ml (1 oz) of engine oil into the
cylinder through the spark plug hole. 13. Repeat steps 8 - 11 for all low compression cylinders. 14.
The minimum compression in any one cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690
kpa (100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any one cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the
lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). Multiply the highest
cylinder pressure by 70 percent, 1035 kPa x 70 percent = 725 kPa (150 psi x 70 percent = 105 psi),
in order to determine the lowest allowable pressure in any other cylinder. ^
Normal The compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression.
^ Piston rings leaking Compression is low on the first compression stroke. The compression builds
up on the following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when
you add oil.
^ Valves leaking Compression is low on the first compression stroke. The compression does not
build up on the following strokes, and does not reach normal. Compression does not improve
much, if at all, when you add oil.
^ Head gasket leaking Compression is low on the first stroke. The compression does not build up
on the following strokes, and does not reach normal. Compression does not improve much, if at all,
when you add oil. Adjacent cylinders have the same, or similar, low compression readings.
15. If one or more cylinders fails to meet the minimum specified compression, repair or replace all
damaged or worn components and test the engine
again.

Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
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 position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) REPLACEMENT
Service of the powertrain control module (PCM) should normally consist of either replacement of
the powertrain control module (PCM) or electrically erasable programmable read only memory
(EEPROM) programming. If the diagnostic procedures call for the PCM to be replaced, the PCM
should be inspected first to see if the correct part is being used.
NOTE: Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the PCM connectors and disconnecting
or reconnecting the power to the PCM (battery cable, PCM pigtail, PCM fuse, jumper cables, etc.)
in order to prevent internal PCM damage.
IMPORTANT: Remove any debris from the PCM connector surfaces before servicing the PCM.
Inspect the PCM module connector gaskets when diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
Removal Procedure 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
CAUTION: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Service Precautions.
NOTE: In order to prevent internal damage to the PCM, the ignition must be OFF when
disconnecting or reconnecting the PCM connector.
2. Move the PCM retention bar and retainer away from the PCM.
3. Remove the PCM from the PCM mounting bracket.

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).

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.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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.

Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2 2010 and Prior
HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X 2010 and Prior Saturn
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-08-48-005C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Distortion in the outer surface of the windshield glass, door glass or backlite glass may appear after
the vehicle has:
- Accumulated some mileage.
- Been frequently washed in automatic car washes, particularly "touchless" car washes.
This distortion may look like a subtle orange peel pattern, or may look like a drip or sag etched into
the surface of the glass.
Some car wash solutions contain a buffered solution of hydrofluoric acid which is used to clean the
glass. This should not cause a problem if used in the correct concentration. However, if not used
correctly, hydrofluoric acid will attack the glass, and over time, will cause visual distortion in the
outer surface of the glass which cannot be removed by scraping or polishing.
If this condition is suspected, look at the area of the windshield under the wipers or below the belt
seal on the side glass. The area of the glass below the wipers or belt seal will not be affected and
what looks like a drip or sag may be apparent at the edge of the wiper or belt seal. You may also
see a line on the glass where the wiper blade or the belt seal contacts the glass.
Important The repair will require replacing the affected glass and is not a result of a defect in
material or workmanship. Therefore, is not covered by New Vehicle Warranty.

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.

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 code 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.

Inspection Procedure
Using the exploded views in this bulletin, inspect each bore for freedom of valve(s) movement and
evidence of debris. Pay particular attention to those valves related to the customer's concern.
Verify movement of the valves in their normal installed position. Valves may become restricted
during removal or installation. This is normal due to small tolerances between the valves and
bores.
If a valve is restricted and cannot be corrected by cleaning the valve and bore, then replace the
valve body. Describe the restricted valve on the repair order.

Starter 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 manual. 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.
Disabling and Enabling
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair Disabling and Enabling
IMPORTANT: Refer to SIR Service Precautions before disabling the SIR system.
The SIR system has been divided into Disabling and Enabling Zones. When performing service on
or near SIR components or SIR wiring, it may be necessary to disable the SIR components in that
zone. It may be necessary to disable more than one zone depending on the location of other SIR
components and the area being serviced, refer to SIR Zone Identification Views. Refer to the
illustration , to identify the specific zone or zones in which service will be performed. After
identifying the zone or zones, proceed to the disabling and enabling procedures for that particular
zone or zones.

- 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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

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.

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-C 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-C 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.

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

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.

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Move the sunroof to the closed position.
IMPORTANT: Remove the headliner.
- The sunroof open position (SOP) switch is aligned to the drive cables. The SOP switch comes
from the factory set to the sunroof glass panel CLOSED position. A position lock pin has been
installed by the factory on the top of the SOP switch. This pin must remain until after the installation
of the sunroof actuator and of the SOP switch. This lock pin locks the drive gears in place and must
be removed before the complete sunroof module is installed to the vehicle.
- If the SOP switch is removed for inspection, the sunroof must be in the CLOSED position. A
position lock pin must be inserted. If a position lock pin is not available, place 2 wires, such as the
ends of a paper clip, in the holes.
1. Remove the sunroof window. 2. Remove the sunroof control module.
3. If you reuse the SOP switch, insert the position lock pin (1) in order to lock the SOP switch in the
closed position. 4. Remove the sunroof motor/actuator. 5. Disconnect the electrical connector from
the SOP switch (3). 6. Remove the screw (2) which secures the SOP switch to the sunroof module.
7. Hold down on both of the drive cables. Lift up on the SOP switch in order to remove the switch
from the sunroof module.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Use a flat-bladed tool if you adjust the cable mechanism and/or the cam mechanism in order to
align the cable and/or the cam timing holes.
IMPORTANT: The cable mechanisms and/or the cam mechanisms, on both sides of the glass,
contain a set of timing holes. These holes are aligned in the CLOSED position of the sunroof glass
panel . These holes are located on the side opposite the rear screw hole, which is used in order to
mount the sunroof glass panel. When installing a new sunroof open position (SOP) switch, set the
sunroof glass panel to the CLOSED position.
When the timing holes are aligned, insert a pin with diameter 0.0317 mm (1/8 in) or a drill bit (1)
into each set of the timing holes. Use tape in order to hold each pin in place.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CKP sensor is a three wire sensor based on the magneto resistive principle. A magneto
resistive sensor uses two magnetic pickups between a permanent magnet. As an element such as
a reluctor wheel passes the magnets the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the
sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The PCM supplies a 12-volt, low reference,
and signal circuit to the CKP sensor. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF pulse 3 times per
crankshaft revolution for the V6 engine, 4 times for the V8 engine. The CKP sensor reads the
crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel to identify pairs of cylinders at Top Dead Center (TDC).

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.

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.

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.

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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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.

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.

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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

Air Bag Control 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 turns
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 command 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.

This bulletin is being revised to include additional information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-08-46-003A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
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.

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

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION
If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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

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.

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

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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 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.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 01-08-42-001H
Date: January 05, 2011
Subject: Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement Guidelines
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 01-08-42-001G (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The following information is being provided to better define the causes of condensation in exterior
lamps and includes guidelines for determining the difference between a lamp with a normal
atmospheric condition (condensation) and a lamp with a water leak.
Some exterior lamps, such as cornering, turn signal, backup, headlamps or tail lamps may exhibit
very small droplets of water, a fine mist or white fog (condensation) on the inside of the lamp lens.
This may be more noticeable on lamps with "multi-lens" designs and may be normal during certain
weather conditions.
Condensation occurs when the air inside the lamp assembly, through atmospheric changes,
reaches the "dew point". When this takes place, the moisture in the air within the lamp assembly
condenses, creating a fine mist or white fog on the inside surface of the lamp lens.
Most exterior lamps on General Motors vehicles use a vented design and feature a replaceable
bulb assembly. They are designed to remove any accumulated moisture vapor by expelling it
through a vent system. The vent system operates at all times, however, it is most effective when
the lamps are ON or when the vehicle is in motion. Depending on the size, shape and location of
the lamp on the vehicle, and the atmospheric conditions occurring, the amount of time required to
clear the lamp may vary from 2 to 6 hours.
Completely sealed headlamp assemblies (sealed beams) are still used on a limited number of
models being manufactured today. These lamps require the replacement of the complete lamp
assembly if a bulb filament burns out.
Condensation 2006 TrailBlazer Shown
A Fine Mist or White Fog on the Inside Surface of the Lamp Lens Occurring After a Period of High
Humidity
- May be located primarily in the lens corners (near the vents) and SHOULD NOT cover more than
half the lens surface.
- The condition should clear of moisture when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment, or when
the vehicle is driven with the lights ON.
- A comparison of the equivalent lamp on the opposing side of the vehicle indicates a SIMILAR
performance.
If the above conditions are noted, the customer should be advised that replacement of a lamp
assembly may not correct this condition.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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

Bulletin No.: 04-06-01-013
Date: April 29, 2004
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.

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

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.

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.

Testing and Inspection
Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection
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
Inspect the connectors at the BCM, and all other circuit connecting points for an intermittent
condition. Inspect the circuit wiring for an intermittent condition. If the electrical circuit checks are
OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a mechanical/hydraulic condition
that prevents tow/haul operation.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add 2005 model year to the parts information. Please
discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-07-30-022C (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a no reverse, no second or no fourth gear condition. First and
third gears will operate properly.
Cause
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.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener

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.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off
Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis Step 1 - 12
Diagnostic Aids If the drive belt(s) repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley
misalignment. An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component
may cause the drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate
properly. If the drive belt(s) is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper
tension on the drive belt.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. This
inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when
the drive belt fell off. The drive belt
may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears,
sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the
pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked may will let the drive belt fall off. 7.
Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed. Missing, loose, or the wrong
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of
the fasteners may cause misalignment of the

1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently
push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3).
IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large
enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large
enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
TERMINAL REPAIR
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment,
apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.
Weather Pack Connectors
WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS
The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors.
1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in
terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the
terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position.
4. Insert the Weather Pack(r) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal
through the back of the connector (2).
IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.
6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in
connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is
complete and working satisfactorily.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to delete a model and add information to subject and inspection of
distributor vent screens. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-06-04-041 (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on poor engine performance and the Service Engine Soon/Check
Engine light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0300 set.
Cause
This condition may be due to high levels of internal corrosion in the distributor, causing misfire,
rough idle, stall and Engine Cranks But Does Not Run. This corrosion is attributed to a lack of
airflow internal to the cap caused by the vent screens being clogged with debris.
Correction
Remove the vent screens and inspect the internal components of the Distributor Ignition System
using the procedure listed below. If the distributor base has to be replaced, the vent screens will
also have to be removed on the new distributor. If there is evidence of this internal corrosion,
replace the affected component. Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Engine Controls
sub-section of the applicable Service Manual.
Important:
All of these inspections can be done on-vehicle.
1. Inspect the distributor cap. You may notice a white residue on the cap walls. For higher mileage
occurrences, the interior of the cap may have changed to medium brown in color
2. Inspect the distributor rotor. You may notice the presence of black streaks on the plastic surface.
More typical evidence would be visible green spots on the copper surface of the rotor segment.
3. Inspect the distributor base. You may notice high levels of surface rust on the distributor shaft or
surface contamination on the sensor hold down screws.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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

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.

Important For 2005 model year fullsize utilities and pickups, refer to Corporate Bulletin
05-07-30-012.
Some vehicles may exhibit a clunk noise that can be heard on a 2-3 upshift or a 3-2 downshift.
During a 2-3 upshift, the 2-4 band is released and the 3-4 clutch is applied. The timing of this shift
can cause a momentary torque reversal of the output shaft that results in a clunk noise. This same
torque reversal can also occur on a 3-2 downshift when the 3-4 clutch is released and the 2-4 band
applied. This condition may be worse on a 4-wheel drive vehicle due to the additional tolerances in
the transfer case.
This is a normal condition. No repairs should be attempted.

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

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
1. Ensure that the vehicle batteries are in good condition, and fully charged. 2. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. 3. Disconnect the positive ignition coil wire plug
from the ignition coil. 4. Disconnect the fuel injector electrical connector. 5. Remove all of the spark
plugs.
Notice: Do not insert objects into the throttle plate opening. Damage to the throttle body can result,
requiring replacement of the throttle body assembly.
6. Block the throttle linkage wide open. 7. Install the engine cylinder compression gage to the
cylinder being tested. 8. Using the vehicle starter motor, rotate, or crank the engine for 4
compression strokes, or puffs, for the cylinder being tested. If the engine rotates
for more than 4 compression strokes, test the cylinder again.
9. Record the compression reading.
10. Remove the engine cylinder compression gage from the cylinder being tested. 11. Repeat
steps 8 - 11 for each additional cylinder. All cylinders must be tested to obtain valid test results. 12.
If any cylinders have low compression, inject approximately 15 ml (1 oz) of engine oil into the
cylinder through the spark plug hole. 13. Repeat steps 8 - 11 for all low compression cylinders. 14.
The minimum compression in any one cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690
kpa (100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any one cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the
lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). Multiply the highest
cylinder pressure by 70 percent, 1035 kPa x 70 percent = 725 kPa (150 psi x 70 percent = 105 psi),
in order to determine the lowest allowable pressure in any other cylinder. ^
Normal The compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression.
^ Piston rings leaking Compression is low on the first compression stroke. The compression builds
up on the following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when
you add oil.
^ Valves leaking Compression is low on the first compression stroke. The compression does not
build up on the following strokes, and does not reach normal. Compression does not improve
much, if at all, when you add oil.
^ Head gasket leaking Compression is low on the first stroke. The compression does not build up
on the following strokes, and does not reach normal. Compression does not improve much, if at all,
when you add oil. Adjacent cylinders have the same, or similar, low compression readings.

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.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the
ignition timing advance for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from
potentially damaging levels of detonation. The sensors in the KS system are used by the PCM as
microphones to listen for abnormal engine noise that may indicate pre-ignition/detonation.
SENSOR DESCRIPTION
There are 2 types of KS currently being used: The broadband single wire sensor
- The flat response 2-wire sensor
Both sensors use piezo-electric crystal technology to produce and send signals to the PCM. The
amplitude and frequency of this signal will vary constantly depending on the vibration level within
the engine. Flat response and broadband KS signals are processed differently by the PCM. The
major differences are outlined below: All broadband sensors use a single wire circuit. Some types of controllers will output a bias voltage
on the KS signal wire. The bias voltage creates a voltage drop the PCM monitors and uses to help
diagnose KS faults. The KS noise signal rides along this bias voltage, and due to the constantly
fluctuating frequency and amplitude of the signal, will always be outside the bias voltage
parameters. Another way to use the KS signals is for the PCM to learn the average normal noise
output from the KS. The PCM uses this noise channel, and KS signal that rides along the noise
channel, in much the same way as the bias voltage type does. Both systems will constantly monitor
the KS system for a signal that is not present or falls within the noise channel.
- The flat response KS uses a 2-wire circuit. The KS signal rides within a noise channel which is
learned and output by the PCM. This noise channel is based upon the normal noise input from the
KS and is known as background noise. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper
and lower parameters will change to accommodate the KS signal, keeping the signal within the
channel. If there is knock, the signal will range outside the noise channel and the PCM will reduce
spark advance until the knock is reduced. These sensors are monitored in much the same way as
the broadband sensors, except that an abnormal signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will
not be present.
KS diagnostics can be calibrated to detect faults with the KS diagnostic inside the PCM, the KS
wiring, the sensor output, or constant knocking from an outside influence such as a loose or
damaged component. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the PCM uses KS signal
information when the cylinders are near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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

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.

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.

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 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

This bulletin is being revised to include additional models and model years. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-42-0004 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
After backing the vehicle out of a garage or dark environment into a daylight environment, the
PRNDL display has reduced visibility for approximately one minute.
While the vehicle is parked in a dark environment, the sensor for the automatic headlamp/driving
lamps senses that it is dark. When the key is turned to the run/start position, the automatic
headlamp module will turn all driving lamps, the instrument panel cluster and PRNDL display ON in
the night-time mode. The night-time mode intensity of the instrument panel lamps and PRNDL
display is controlled by the automatic headlamp module and can be dimmed further by the
customer using the dimming control of the headlamp switch.
When the customer then moves the vehicle from the dark environment into the bright sunlight, it will
take approximately one minute before the headlamp control module recognizes this as true daylight
and not just a bright overhead street lamp shining on the sensor. The headlamp control module will
then turn the headlamps off and restore the instrument panel and PRNDL display to full brilliance.
Without the time delay, the automatic headlamp control module would switch to the night mode
(turn on all driving lamps, instrument panel lamps and PRNDL display would dim) each time the
vehicle was driven under an overpass or other darkened environment.
This is a normal condition and no repair should be attempted.
Ensure the instrument panel backlighting control is in the full bright position. This will help alleviate
the condition. You may demonstrate to the customer what happens by placing a repair order over
the automatic headlamp control light sensor, which will cause the automatic headlamp control
module to switch to the night mode in approximately one minute. All driving lamps will come ON,
the instrument panel backlight will be dim, and the PRNDL display will also dim to the night setting
in conjunction with the position of the headlamp switch dimming control. Demonstrate to the
customer the variance in the instrument panel backlighting and PRNDL display while adjusting the
headlamp switch dimming control to both ends of its allowable range. Advise the customer to keep
the headlight switch dimming control in the highest position to allow viewing of the PRNDL display
in a bright environment.

Lock Cylinder Switch: Description and Operation
PASSLOCK(TM) SENSOR
The Passlock(tm) sensor is inside the upper right side of the steering column. 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.

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

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off
Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis Step 1 - 12
Diagnostic Aids If the drive belt(s) repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley
misalignment. An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component
may cause the drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate
properly. If the drive belt(s) is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper
tension on the drive belt.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. This
inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when
the drive belt fell off. The drive belt
may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears,
sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the
pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked may will let the drive belt fall off. 7.
Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed. Missing, loose, or the wrong
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of
the fasteners may cause misalignment of the

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.

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

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 manual. 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.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Engine Oil Pressure: Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Diagnosis and Testing
1. With the vehicle on a level surface, allow adequate drain down time, 2 - 3 minutes, and measure
for a low engine oil level. Add the recommended
grade engine oil, and fill the crankcase until the oil level measures FULL on the oil level indicator.
2. Operate the engine and verify low or no oil pressure on the vehicle oil pressure gage or the oil
indicator light. Listen for a noisy valve train or a
knocking noise.
3. Inspect for the following:
^ Engine oil diluted by moisture or unburned fuel mixtures
^ Improper engine oil viscosity for the expected temperature
^ Incorrect or faulty oil pressure gage sensor
^ Incorrect or faulty oil pressure gage
^ Plugged oil filter
^ Malfunctioning oil filter bypass valve
4. Remove the oil pressure gage sensor or another engine block oil gallery plug. 5. Install an oil
pressure gage. 6. Start the engine and then allow the engine to reach normal operation
temperature. 7. Measure the engine oil pressure at the following RPM:

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 43907 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.

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.

Drive Belt Vibration Diagnosis Step 1 - 11
Diagnostic Aids The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Such as
but not limited to the A/C system over charged, the power steering system restricted or the
incorrect fluid, or an extra load on the generator. To help identify an intermittent or an improper
condition, vary the loads on the accessory drive components.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) 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 such as the exhaust
system, or the drivetrain.
3. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) or accessory drive components may be causing the
vibration. When removing the drive belt the water
pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is
operating with the drive belt removed.
4. The drive belt(s) may cause a vibration. While the drive belt(s) is removed this is the best time to
inspect the condition of the belt. 6. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a
wrong 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 smoothness, ease of turning. Inspect for a bent fan shaft or bent mounting
flange.
9. This step should only be performed if the water pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the
water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the
water pump bearings for smoothness 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 extra strain on
that accessory component causing it to vibrate.

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

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

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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.

away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service
replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed
from an engine and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have
anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.

Fuel: Specifications
GASOLINE OCTANE
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane of 87 or higher. If the octane is less than 87,
you may get a heavy knocking noise when you drive. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at 87
octane or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might damage your engine. A little pinging
noise when you accelerate or drive uphill is considered normal. This does not indicate a problem
exists or that a higher-octane fuel is necessary. If you are using 87 octane or higher-octane fuel
and you hear heavy knocking, your engine needs service.
ADDITIVES
To provide cleaner air, all gasoline in the United States are now required to contain additives that
will help prevent engine and fuel system deposits from forming, allowing your emission control
system to work properly. You should not have to add anything to your fuel. Gasoline containing
oxygenates, such as ethers and ethanol, and reformulated gasoline may be available in your area
to contribute to clean air. General Motors recommends that you use these gasoline, particularly if
they comply with the specifications described earlier.
NOTICE: Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that contains methanol. Don't use fuel containing
methanol. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and also damage the plastic and rubber
parts. That damage wouldn't be covered under your warranty.
Some gasoline that are not reformulated for low emissions may contain an octane-enhancing
additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT); ask the attendant where you
buy gasoline whether the fuel contains MMT. General Motors does not recommend the use of such
gasoline. Fuels containing MMT can reduce the life of spark plugs and the performance of the
emission control system may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp may turn on. If this
occurs, return to your authorized GM dealer for service.
CALIFORNIA FUEL
If your vehicle is certified to meet California Emission Standards (see the underhood emission
control label), it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California specifications. If this fuel is not
available in states adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle will operate satisfactorily
on fuels meeting federal specifications, but emission control system performance may be affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp may turn on (see Malfunction Indicator Lamp ) and your vehicle
may fail a smog-check test. If this occurs, return to your authorized GM dealer for diagnosis. If it is
determined that the condition is caused by the type of fuel used, repairs may not be covered by
your warranty.
Trim Height Inspection
Alignment: Service and Repair Trim Height Inspection
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: ^
Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack.
^ Remove alignment rack floating plate pins.
^ Set the tire pressures to specifications.
^ Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank.
^ To ensure proper weight distribution make sure the rear storage compartment is empty.
^ Close the doors and hood.
Z Height Measurement The Z height measurement determines the proper ride height for the front
end of the vehicle. Vehicles equipped with torsion bars use an adjusting arm to adjust the Z height.
Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of suspension
components.
Important: All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground. Cross vehicle Z heights should be
within 12 mm (0.47 inch) for all vehicles except pickups with options QZ8 and V4A to be
considered correct. Pickups with options QZ8 and V4A should be O mm to be considered correct.
1. 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 lowest
measurements to calculate the average height. 6. The true Z height dimension number is the
average of the highest and lowest measurements.

Trim Height Inspection
Alignment: Service and Repair Trim Height Inspection
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: ^
Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack.
^ Remove alignment rack floating plate pins.
^ Set the tire pressures to specifications.
^ Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank.
^ To ensure proper weight distribution make sure the rear storage compartment is empty.
^ Close the doors and hood.
Z Height Measurement The Z height measurement determines the proper ride height for the front
end of the vehicle. Vehicles equipped with torsion bars use an adjusting arm to adjust the Z height.
Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of suspension
components.
Important: All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground. Cross vehicle Z heights should be
within 12 mm (0.47 inch) for all vehicles except pickups with options QZ8 and V4A to be
considered correct. Pickups with options QZ8 and V4A should be O mm to be considered correct.
1. 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 lowest
measurements to calculate the average height. 6. The true Z height dimension number is the
average of the highest and lowest measurements.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener
seating

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Testing and Inspection
Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection
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
Inspect the connectors at the BCM, and all other circuit connecting points for an intermittent
condition. Inspect the circuit wiring for an intermittent condition. If the electrical circuit checks are
OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a mechanical/hydraulic condition
that prevents tow/haul operation.

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.

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

Testing and Inspection
Tow/Haul Switch: Testing and Inspection
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
Inspect the connectors at the BCM, and all other circuit connecting points for an intermittent
condition. Inspect the circuit wiring for an intermittent condition. If the electrical circuit checks are
OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a mechanical/hydraulic condition
that prevents tow/haul operation.

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.

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.

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.

Two - Person Procedure
Important: ^
Use the two-person bleed procedure under the following conditions: Installing a new Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) or new Brake Pressure Modulator Valve
(BPMV).
- Air is trapped in the valve body.
^ Do not drive the vehicle until the brake pedal feels firm. Do not reuse brake fluid that is used during bleeding.
- Use the vacuum, the pressure and the gravity bleeding procedures only for base brake bleeding.
1. Raise the vehicle in order to access the system bleed screws. 2. Bleed the system at the right
rear wheel first. 3. Install a clear hose on the bleed screw. 4. Immerse the opposite end of the hose
into a container partially filled with clean DOT 3 brake fluid. 5. Open the bleed screw 1/2 to 1 full
turn. 6. Slowly depress the brake pedal. While the pedal is depressed to its full extent, tighten the
bleed screw. 7. Release the brake pedal and wait 10-15 seconds for the master cylinder pistons to
return to the home position. 8. Repeat the previous steps for the remaining wheels. The brake fluid
which is present at each bleed screw should be clean and free of air. 9. This procedure may use
more than a pint of fluid per wheel. Check the master cylinder fluid level every four to six strokes of
the brake pedal in
order to avoid running the system dry.
10. Press the brake pedal firmly and run the Scan Tool Automated Bleed Procedure. Release the
brake pedal between each test. 11. Bleed all four wheels again using Steps 3-9.
This will remove the remaining air from the brake system.
12. Evaluate the feel of the brake pedal before attempting to drive the vehicle. 13. Bleed the
system as many times as necessary in order to obtain the appropriate feel of the pedal.

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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.

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

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 manual. 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.

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.
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.
See: Specifications/Capacity Specifications

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.

Date: April 27, 2010
Subject: Tire Slowly Goes Flat, Tire Air Loss, Low Tire Pressure Warning Light Illuminated,
Aluminum Wheel Bead Seat Corrosion (Clean and Resurface Wheel Bead Seat)
Models:
2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or
weeks.
Cause
Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat.
There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and
this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear
continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the
environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may
appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be
visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in
an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum
Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant)
Correction
In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below.
Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to
repair the wheel with the procedure below.
Notice
The repair is no longer advised or applicable for chromed aluminum wheels.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly for diagnosis. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and
Installation in SI. 2. After a water dunk tank leak test, if you determine the source of the air leak to
be around the bead seat of the wheel, dismount the tire to examine
the bead seat. Shown below is a typical area of bead seat corrosion.Typical Location of Bead Seat

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.

the installed boots. Failure to properly seat the terminal onto the spark plug will lead to wire core
erosion and result in an engine misfire or crossfire condition, and possible internal damage to the
engine.
2. Install the spark plug wire to each spark plug. 3. Inspect the wires for proper installation:
3.1. Push sideways on each boot in order to inspect the seating.
3.2. Reinstall any loose boot.
3.3. Wire routings must be kept intact during service and followed exactly when wires have been
disconnected or when replacement of the wires is necessary. Failure to route the wires properly
can lead to radio ignition noise and crossfiring of the plugs, or shorting of the leads to the ground.
3.4. Any time the spark plug wires or boots are installed on the spark plugs, new dielectric grease
needs to be applied inside the boot.

Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control
module will disable the fuel pump relay within two seconds unless the control module detects
ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as
ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within two
seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. The electric fuel pump supplies fuel through an in-line fuel filter
to the fuel injection system. The pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the
fuel injection system. The fuel pressure regulator maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel
injection system. A separate pipe returns unused fuel to the fuel tank.
TEST
Page 4871
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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Alignment: Description and Operation Caster Description
Caster Description
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when
viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear and is not
adjustable on this vehicle. 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 louver 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 thigh 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.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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.
Thrust Angle Description
Thrust Angles Description
The front wheels aim or steer the vehicles. The real 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
Lead/Pull Description
Lead/pull is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight path, on a level road, without hand pressure
on the steering wheel. Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^
Tire construction
^ Uneven brake adjustment
^ Wheel alignment
The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead.
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.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause

Condition
Some customers may comment on a no reverse, no second or no fourth gear condition. First and
third gears will operate properly.
Cause
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.

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

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.

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
Page 1364
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.

Important: ^
Use the two-person bleed procedure under the following conditions: Installing a new Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) or new Brake Pressure Modulator Valve
(BPMV).
- Air is trapped in the valve body.
^ Do not drive the vehicle until the brake pedal feels firm. Do not reuse brake fluid that is used during bleeding.
- Use the vacuum, the pressure and the gravity bleeding procedures only for base brake bleeding.
1. Raise the vehicle in order to access the system bleed screws. 2. Bleed the system at the right
rear wheel first. 3. Install a clear hose on the bleed screw. 4. Immerse the opposite end of the hose
into a container partially filled with clean DOT 3 brake fluid. 5. Open the bleed screw 1/2 to 1 full
turn. 6. Slowly depress the brake pedal. While the pedal is depressed to its full extent, tighten the
bleed screw. 7. Release the brake pedal and wait 10-15 seconds for the master cylinder pistons to
return to the home position. 8. Repeat the previous steps for the remaining wheels. The brake fluid
which is present at each bleed screw should be clean and free of air. 9. This procedure may use
more than a pint of fluid per wheel. Check the master cylinder fluid level every four to six strokes of
the brake pedal in
order to avoid running the system dry.
10. Press the brake pedal firmly and run the Scan Tool Automated Bleed Procedure. Release the
brake pedal between each test. 11. Bleed all four wheels again using Steps 3-9.
This will remove the remaining air from the brake system.
12. Evaluate the feel of the brake pedal before attempting to drive the vehicle. 13. Bleed the
system as many times as necessary in order to obtain the appropriate feel of the pedal.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and the bulletin reference
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.
4. Inscribe a mark on the tire at the valve stem in order to indicate the orientation of the tire to the
wheel. 5. Dismount the tire from the wheel. Refer to Tire Mounting and Dismounting. 6. Remove
the tire pressure sensor. Refer to Tire Pressure Sensor removal procedure in SI. 7. Scuff the
INSIDE rim surface at the leak area with #80 grit paper and clean the area with general purpose
cleaner, such as 3M(R) General Purpose
Adhesive Cleaner, P/N 08984, or equivalent.
8. Apply a 3 mm (0.12 in) thick layer of Silicone - Adhesive/Sealant, P/N 12378478 (in Canada, use
88900041), or equivalent, to the leak area. 9. Allow for the adhesive/sealant to dry.
Notice Caution must be used when mounting the tire so as not to damage the sealer. Damaging
the repair area may result in an air leak.

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.

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.

Manual, please make a reference to this bulletin on the affected page.
Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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.

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.

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

Condition
Some customers may comment on 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 wheel speed sensor mounting surfaces.
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. Disconnect both the front wheel speed sensor harness connectors.
3. Place a DVM across the terminals of each sensor connector.
4. Rotate the wheel with hand speed and measure the ACmV's. The reading should be at least 350
ACmV's.
5. If the reading is between 200 and 350 ACmV's, remove the wheel, caliper and rotor in order to
gain access to the speed sensor.
6. Remove the wheel speed sensor and plug the hole to prevent debris from falling into the hub
during service.
7. Clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface using a wire brush, sand paper, emery cloth,
ScotchBrite(TM) or other suitable material. Be sure to thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor
surface. There should be no rust or corrosion.
8. 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.
9. 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 (Canadian P/N 89022218).
10. 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 0-ring prior to sensor installation. Use ONLY Wheel Bearing
Lubricant, P/N 01051344 (Canadian P/N 993037).

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.

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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Vehicle/Powertrain Control Module & the BCM
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.

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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%.

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.

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 code 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.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the
ignition timing advance for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from
potentially damaging levels of detonation. The sensors in the KS system are used by the PCM as
microphones to listen for abnormal engine noise that may indicate pre-ignition/detonation.
SENSOR DESCRIPTION
There are 2 types of KS currently being used: The broadband single wire sensor
- The flat response 2-wire sensor
Both sensors use piezo-electric crystal technology to produce and send signals to the PCM. The
amplitude and frequency of this signal will vary constantly depending on the vibration level within
the engine. Flat response and broadband KS signals are processed differently by the PCM. The
major differences are outlined below: All broadband sensors use a single wire circuit. Some types of controllers will output a bias voltage
on the KS signal wire. The bias voltage creates a voltage drop the PCM monitors and uses to help
diagnose KS faults. The KS noise signal rides along this bias voltage, and due to the constantly
fluctuating frequency and amplitude of the signal, will always be outside the bias voltage
parameters. Another way to use the KS signals is for the PCM to learn the average normal noise
output from the KS. The PCM uses this noise channel, and KS signal that rides along the noise
channel, in much the same way as the bias voltage type does. Both systems will constantly monitor
the KS system for a signal that is not present or falls within the noise channel.
- The flat response KS uses a 2-wire circuit. The KS signal rides within a noise channel which is
learned and output by the PCM. This noise channel is based upon the normal noise input from the
KS and is known as background noise. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper
and lower parameters will change to accommodate the KS signal, keeping the signal within the
channel. If there is knock, the signal will range outside the noise channel and the PCM will reduce
spark advance until the knock is reduced. These sensors are monitored in much the same way as
the broadband sensors, except that an abnormal signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will
not be present.
KS diagnostics can be calibrated to detect faults with the KS diagnostic inside the PCM, the KS
wiring, the sensor output, or constant knocking from an outside influence such as a loose or
damaged component. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the PCM uses KS signal
information when the cylinders are near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke.

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

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: 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 43907 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.

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 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.

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-C 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-C 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.

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

Bulletin Number 99-07-30-016A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle)
Some customers may comment that at times the transmission seems to slip, or that there is a loud
roar from the engine with slow acceleration. This condition is most noticeable after the vehicle has
sat idle for 12 or more hours, or on hot days when the A/C is on and the vehicle moves slowly with
traffic.
Typical comments from customers may include the following conditions:
^ Intermittent slipping
^ Intermittent downshift followed by an upshift, both with no apparent reason
^ Busyness or cycling of the TCC (torque converter clutch) at steady throttle conditions and on a
level roadway
^ Noisy cooling fan
The type of concern described above requires further definition. The customer should be asked the
following questions:
^ Is the situation more pronounced with higher vehicle loads such as when pulling a trailer?
^ Do warmer ambient temperatures make the situation more pronounced?
^ When the condition occurred, did you have the A/C on, and were you driving in stop and go city
traffic?
^ Does the condition exhibit itself on the first start-up after sitting more than eight hours?
If the customer indicates that these conditions apply, and your observation confirms that the vehicle
is operating properly, provide the customer with the vehicle operating description included at the
end of this bulletin. Further action may not be necessary. A service procedure follows if further
definition is required.
Diagnostic Aids
Cooling fan operation or the resulting sound varies. The cooling fan clutch may be described as a
continuously variable clutch. If the vehicle engine is running, the fan blade is always turning unless
the fan clutch is non-functional. The speed of the fan in relation to engine speed is temperature
dependent.

enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
TERMINAL REPAIR
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment,
apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.

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

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

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

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
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 position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it may be strings in the
drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent
or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not

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

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the
ignition timing advance for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from
potentially damaging levels of detonation. The sensors in the KS system are used by the PCM as
microphones to listen for abnormal engine noise that may indicate pre-ignition/detonation.
SENSOR DESCRIPTION
There are 2 types of KS currently being used: The broadband single wire sensor
- The flat response 2-wire sensor
Both sensors use piezo-electric crystal technology to produce and send signals to the PCM. The
amplitude and frequency of this signal will vary constantly depending on the vibration level within
the engine. Flat response and broadband KS signals are processed differently by the PCM. The
major differences are outlined below: All broadband sensors use a single wire circuit. Some types of controllers will output a bias voltage
on the KS signal wire. The bias voltage creates a voltage drop the PCM monitors and uses to help
diagnose KS faults. The KS noise signal rides along this bias voltage, and due to the constantly
fluctuating frequency and amplitude of the signal, will always be outside the bias voltage
parameters. Another way to use the KS signals is for the PCM to learn the average normal noise
output from the KS. The PCM uses this noise channel, and KS signal that rides along the noise
channel, in much the same way as the bias voltage type does. Both systems will constantly monitor
the KS system for a signal that is not present or falls within the noise channel.
- The flat response KS uses a 2-wire circuit. The KS signal rides within a noise channel which is
learned and output by the PCM. This noise channel is based upon the normal noise input from the
KS and is known as background noise. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper
and lower parameters will change to accommodate the KS signal, keeping the signal within the
channel. If there is knock, the signal will range outside the noise channel and the PCM will reduce
spark advance until the knock is reduced. These sensors are monitored in much the same way as
the broadband sensors, except that an abnormal signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will
not be present.
KS diagnostics can be calibrated to detect faults with the KS diagnostic inside the PCM, the KS
wiring, the sensor output, or constant knocking from an outside influence such as a loose or
damaged component. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the PCM uses KS signal
information when the cylinders are near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 02-07-30-024A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Diagnosing the cause of a cracked or broken transmission case requires additional diagnosis and
repair or a repeat failure will occur.
A cracked or broken transmission case is most often the result of abnormal external torsional
forces acting on the transmission case. If none of the conditions listed below are apparent, an
internal transmission component inspection may be required. Repairs of this type may be the result
of external damage or abuse for which General Motors is not responsible. They are not the result of
defects in materials or workmanship. If in doubt, contact your General Motors Service
Representative.
The following items should be considered:
^ It is important to inspect the vehicle for signs of an out of line condition, impact damage or foreign
material to the following components:
- The transmission
- The engine mounts
- The transmission rear mount and crossmember
- Vehicle frame damage that alters the front to rear alignment of the driveshaft
- The driveshafts (both front and rear)
- The wheels (caked with mud, concrete, etc.)
- The tires (roundness, lack of cupping, excessive balance weights)
- The transfer case (if the vehicle is 4WD)
^ A worn or damaged driveshaft U-Joint has shown to be a frequent cause of transmission case
cracking, especially on vehicles that see extended periods of highway driving. Always inspect the
U-joint condition when diagnosing this condition.
^ For driveshaft damage or imbalance, Inspect the driveshafts (both front and rear) for dents,
straightness/runout or signs of missing balance weights. Also, inspect for foreign material such as
undercoat sprayed on the driveshaft.
^ The driveshaft working angles may be excessive or non-canceling, especially if the vehicle
carrying height has been altered (lifted or lowered) or if the frame has been extended or modified.
^ Damaged or worn upper or lower rear control arms or bushings.
^ A rear axle that is not seated in the rear spring properly (leaf spring vehicles).
^ Broken rear springs and or worn leaf spring bushings.

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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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-C 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.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the
ignition timing advance for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from
potentially damaging levels of detonation. The sensors in the KS system are used by the PCM as
microphones to listen for abnormal engine noise that may indicate pre-ignition/detonation.
SENSOR DESCRIPTION
There are 2 types of KS currently being used: The broadband single wire sensor
- The flat response 2-wire sensor
Both sensors use piezo-electric crystal technology to produce and send signals to the PCM. The
amplitude and frequency of this signal will vary constantly depending on the vibration level within
the engine. Flat response and broadband KS signals are processed differently by the PCM. The
major differences are outlined below: All broadband sensors use a single wire circuit. Some types of controllers will output a bias voltage
on the KS signal wire. The bias voltage creates a voltage drop the PCM monitors and uses to help
diagnose KS faults. The KS noise signal rides along this bias voltage, and due to the constantly
fluctuating frequency and amplitude of the signal, will always be outside the bias voltage
parameters. Another way to use the KS signals is for the PCM to learn the average normal noise
output from the KS. The PCM uses this noise channel, and KS signal that rides along the noise
channel, in much the same way as the bias voltage type does. Both systems will constantly monitor
the KS system for a signal that is not present or falls within the noise channel.
- The flat response KS uses a 2-wire circuit. The KS signal rides within a noise channel which is
learned and output by the PCM. This noise channel is based upon the normal noise input from the
KS and is known as background noise. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper
and lower parameters will change to accommodate the KS signal, keeping the signal within the
channel. If there is knock, the signal will range outside the noise channel and the PCM will reduce
spark advance until the knock is reduced. These sensors are monitored in much the same way as
the broadband sensors, except that an abnormal signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will
not be present.
KS diagnostics can be calibrated to detect faults with the KS diagnostic inside the PCM, the KS
wiring, the sensor output, or constant knocking from an outside influence such as a loose or
damaged component. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the PCM uses KS signal
information when the cylinders are near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke.

INFORMATION
Subject: Service Information Regarding Rear Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder Inspections
Models: 2005 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2005 and Prior Saturn Vehicles
with Rear Drum Brakes
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.)

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-C 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-C 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.

Page 4880
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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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 manual. 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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener

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.

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 manual. 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.

away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service
replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed
from an engine and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have
anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.

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 Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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.

Steering Wheel: Description and Operation
STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
The steering wheel and column are designed to absorb energy when driver contact is made with
the steering wheel or inflated air bag. In a frontal collision the driver may contact the steering wheel
directly or load the steering wheel and column through the inflated air bag. When the driver applies
load to the air bag or steering wheel the column will compress downward absorbing some of the
impact, helping to reduce bodily injuries to the driver. The steering wheel and column must be
inspected for damage after a collision.

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

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-C 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-C 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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Description
POWERTRAIN
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the control center of this
system. The PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The PCM constantly looks at
the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and emissions. The PCM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the
system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the PCM.
The following are some of the functions that the PCM controls: The engine fueling
- The Ignition Control (IC)
- The Knock Sensor (KS) system
- The Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system
- The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system (if equipped)
- The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system
- The automatic transmission functions
- The generator
- The A/C clutch control
- The cooling fan control
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FUNCTION
The PCM constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs and controls
systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs diagnostic tests
on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver
via the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set.
The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. The input and
output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters, and output
drivers. The output drivers are electronic switches that complete a ground or voltage circuit when
turned on. Most PCM controlled components are operated via output drivers. The PCM monitors
these driver circuits for proper operation and, in most cases, can set a DTC corresponding to the
controlled device if a problem is detected.
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.

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-C 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-C 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.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Lighting - Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement
Parking Lamp: Technical Service Bulletins Lighting - Exterior Lamp Condensation and
Replacement
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 01-08-42-001H
Date: January 05, 2011
Subject: Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement Guidelines
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 01-08-42-001G (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The following information is being provided to better define the causes of condensation in exterior
lamps and includes guidelines for determining the difference between a lamp with a normal
atmospheric condition (condensation) and a lamp with a water leak.
Some exterior lamps, such as cornering, turn signal, backup, headlamps or tail lamps may exhibit
very small droplets of water, a fine mist or white fog (condensation) on the inside of the lamp lens.
This may be more noticeable on lamps with "multi-lens" designs and may be normal during certain
weather conditions.
Condensation occurs when the air inside the lamp assembly, through atmospheric changes,
reaches the "dew point". When this takes place, the moisture in the air within the lamp assembly
condenses, creating a fine mist or white fog on the inside surface of the lamp lens.
Most exterior lamps on General Motors vehicles use a vented design and feature a replaceable
bulb assembly. They are designed to remove any accumulated moisture vapor by expelling it
through a vent system. The vent system operates at all times, however, it is most effective when
the lamps are ON or when the vehicle is in motion. Depending on the size, shape and location of
the lamp on the vehicle, and the atmospheric conditions occurring, the amount of time required to
clear the lamp may vary from 2 to 6 hours.
Completely sealed headlamp assemblies (sealed beams) are still used on a limited number of
models being manufactured today. These lamps require the replacement of the complete lamp
assembly if a bulb filament burns out.
Condensation 2006 TrailBlazer Shown
A Fine Mist or White Fog on the Inside Surface of the Lamp Lens Occurring After a Period of High
Humidity
- May be located primarily in the lens corners (near the vents) and SHOULD NOT cover more than
half the lens surface.
- The condition should clear of moisture when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment, or when
the vehicle is driven with the lights ON.
- A comparison of the equivalent lamp on the opposing side of the vehicle indicates a SIMILAR
performance.
If the above conditions are noted, the customer should be advised that replacement of a lamp
assembly may not correct this condition.

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).

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.

2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis Step 1 - 12
Diagnostic Aids If the drive belt(s) repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley
misalignment. An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component
may cause the drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate
properly. If the drive belt(s) is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper
tension on the drive belt.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. This
inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when
the drive belt fell off. The drive belt
may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears,
sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the
pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked may will let the drive belt fall off. 7.
Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed. Missing, loose, or the wrong
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of
the fasteners may cause misalignment of the accessory component bracket.

Condition
Some customers may comment on poor engine performance and the Service Engine Soon/Check
Engine light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0300 set.
Cause
This condition may be due to high levels of internal corrosion in the distributor, causing misfire,
rough idle, stall and Engine Cranks But Does Not Run. This corrosion is attributed to a lack of
airflow internal to the cap caused by the vent screens being clogged with debris.
Correction
Remove the vent screens and inspect the internal components of the Distributor Ignition System
using the procedure listed below. If the distributor base has to be replaced, the vent screens will
also have to be removed on the new distributor. If there is evidence of this internal corrosion,
replace the affected component. Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Engine Controls
sub-section of the applicable Service Manual.

Camber Description
Alignment: Description and Operation Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at
the top, the camber is negative (-I). 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.

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

Canister Purge Solenoid: Description and Operation
EVAP PURGE SOLENOID
The EVAP purge solenoid controls the flow of vapors from the EVAP system to the intake manifold.
The purge solenoid opens when commanded ON by the control module. This normally closed
solenoid is pulse width modulated (PWM) by the control module to precisely control the flow of fuel
vapor to the engine. The solenoid will also be opened during some portions of the EVAP testing,
allowing engine vacuum to enter the EVAP system.

Audible Warning Device: 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 manual. 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.

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

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).

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

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

Description and Operation
Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation
AIR BAG INDICATOR
The AIR BAG indicator, located in the IPC is used to notify the driver of SIR system malfunctions
and to verify that the SDM is communicating with the IPC. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM
is supplied with ignition 1 voltage and the IPC flashes the AIR BAG indicator seven 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 diagnostic trouble code (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.

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

Drive Belt: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Serpentine Drive Belt Wear Information
Bulletin No.: 04-06-01-013
Date: April 29, 2004
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.

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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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.

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.

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 manual. 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.

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

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

- 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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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

INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT END DISCRIMINATING SENSOR
The front end discriminating sensor is equipped on some vehicles to supplement SIR system
performance. The discriminating sensor is an electro-mechanical sensor and is not part of the
deployment loops, but instead provides an input to the SDM. The SDM uses the input from the
discriminating sensor 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.

NOTE: If a fuel tank filler cap requires replacement, use only a fuel tank filler cap with the same
features. Failure to use the correct fuel tank filler cap can result in a serious malfunction of the fuel
and EVAP system.
The fuel fill pipe has a tethered fuel filler cap. A torque-limiting device prevents the cap from being
over-tightened. To install the cap, turn the cap clockwise until you hear audible clicks. This
indicates that the cap is correctly torqued and fully seated. A fuel filler cap that is not fully seated
may cause a malfunction in the emission system.

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.

Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT STEERING WHEEL MODULE COIL
The steering wheel module coil is attached to the steering column and is located under the steering
wheel. The steering wheel module coil consists of 2 or more current-carrying coils. The coils allow
the rotation of the steering wheel while maintaining continuous electrical contact between the driver
deployment loop and the steering wheel module. Two coil wires are used for the steering wheel
module deployment loop. Additional coil wires are used for accessories attached to the steering
wheel depending on the vehicle model. The steering wheel module coil connector is located near
the base of the steering column. The connector contains a shorting bar that shorts the steering
wheel module coil deployment loop circuitry to prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when it
is disconnected.

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.

- 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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2 2010 and Prior
HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X 2010 and Prior Saturn
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-08-48-005C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Distortion in the outer surface of the windshield glass, door glass or backlite glass may appear after
the vehicle has:
- Accumulated some mileage.
- Been frequently washed in automatic car washes, particularly "touchless" car washes.
This distortion may look like a subtle orange peel pattern, or may look like a drip or sag etched into
the surface of the glass.
Some car wash solutions contain a buffered solution of hydrofluoric acid which is used to clean the
glass. This should not cause a problem if used in the correct concentration. However, if not used
correctly, hydrofluoric acid will attack the glass, and over time, will cause visual distortion in the
outer surface of the glass which cannot be removed by scraping or polishing.
If this condition is suspected, look at the area of the windshield under the wipers or below the belt
seal on the side glass. The area of the glass below the wipers or belt seal will not be affected and
what looks like a drip or sag may be apparent at the edge of the wiper or belt seal. You may also
see a line on the glass where the wiper blade or the belt seal contacts the glass.
Important The repair will require replacing the affected glass and is not a result of a defect in
material or workmanship. Therefore, is not covered by New Vehicle Warranty.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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.

Lighting - Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement
Tail Lamp: Technical Service Bulletins Lighting - Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 01-08-42-001H
Date: January 05, 2011
Subject: Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement Guidelines
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 01-08-42-001G (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The following information is being provided to better define the causes of condensation in exterior
lamps and includes guidelines for determining the difference between a lamp with a normal
atmospheric condition (condensation) and a lamp with a water leak.
Some exterior lamps, such as cornering, turn signal, backup, headlamps or tail lamps may exhibit
very small droplets of water, a fine mist or white fog (condensation) on the inside of the lamp lens.
This may be more noticeable on lamps with "multi-lens" designs and may be normal during certain
weather conditions.
Condensation occurs when the air inside the lamp assembly, through atmospheric changes,
reaches the "dew point". When this takes place, the moisture in the air within the lamp assembly
condenses, creating a fine mist or white fog on the inside surface of the lamp lens.
Most exterior lamps on General Motors vehicles use a vented design and feature a replaceable
bulb assembly. They are designed to remove any accumulated moisture vapor by expelling it
through a vent system. The vent system operates at all times, however, it is most effective when
the lamps are ON or when the vehicle is in motion. Depending on the size, shape and location of
the lamp on the vehicle, and the atmospheric conditions occurring, the amount of time required to
clear the lamp may vary from 2 to 6 hours.
Completely sealed headlamp assemblies (sealed beams) are still used on a limited number of
models being manufactured today. These lamps require the replacement of the complete lamp
assembly if a bulb filament burns out.
Condensation 2006 TrailBlazer Shown
A Fine Mist or White Fog on the Inside Surface of the Lamp Lens Occurring After a Period of High
Humidity
- May be located primarily in the lens corners (near the vents) and SHOULD NOT cover more than
half the lens surface.
- The condition should clear of moisture when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment, or when
the vehicle is driven with the lights ON.
- A comparison of the equivalent lamp on the opposing side of the vehicle indicates a SIMILAR
performance.
If the above conditions are noted, the customer should be advised that replacement of a lamp
assembly may not correct this condition.

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

Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis Step 1 - 15
Diagnostic Aids The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt(s) or the
pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt(s) in order to
duplicate the customers concern. If spraying water on the drive belt(s) duplicates the symptom,
cleaning the belt pulleys may be the probable solution. A loose or improper installation of a body
component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the chirping noise.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise
may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is
not making the noise do not proceed

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
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 position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

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.

Viewing and Selecting RDS Information for Display Press the "TUNE RCL" knob once for less then
2 seconds when the radio displays the program service name and the frequency of the station will
be displayed. Press the knob again, and the program type (PTY) will be displayed. Pressed again,
and the program name will be displayed (if the broadcaster is broadcasting one). The program
name is an eight-character name that the broadcaster may use to further identify the type of
programming currently being broadcast.
Using the RDS Traffic Feature Some RDS broadcasters may carry traffic information programming
to inform you of current traffic conditions in your listening area and is indicated by the icon in the
radio display. RDS enables the broadcaster to get this information to you even when you are
listening to a tape or compact disc. This feature can be enabled or disabled by the listener. Press
the "TRAF" button to find a station that claims to carry traffic information. You may do this even
when playing a cassette tape or compact disc. This action will operate in the background without
interrupting the current playback. If the radio is not currently tuned to an RDS traffic station, the
radio will immediately SEEK an RDS traffic station. If the radio finds an RDS traffic station, the"
TRAF" icon will appear in the radio display as will brackets around the (TRAF) icon. If the radio
cannot find an RDS traffic station after searching through the entire FM band, the radio will display
"NO TRAFFIC".
Alternate Frequency (AF) Switching RDS permits broadcaster's to send information to the radio
that allows the radio to automatically switch frequency to the best quality station in that
broadcaster's network.
Since the radio is displaying the broadcaster call letters or nickname, the listener will not see the
frequency during an AF switch unless you have changed the default display to be frequency
instead of Program Service name.
To enable or disable AF switching perform the following: Press and hold the AM/FM button for two seconds or more.
- The radio will display AF ON or AF OFF depending on the current condition of AF and a
confirmation beep will be heard.
When AF is enabled and you recall a RDS station stored on preset, the radio determines if the
station stored is of acceptable quality. If not, the radio checks all available AF's for your station. If
the radio fails to locate your program, AF SEARCH will be displayed as the radio scans across the
band looking for your program or an affiliated network. If the radio cannot find the original station or
an acceptable alternate frequency NOT FOUND will be displayed and the radio returns to the
original frequency for the preset.
RDS Clock Time Broadcasters can choose to send clock time information in the RDS data. This
information can be used to update the clock time on the radio. RDS clock time is broadcasted once
a minute. To set the clock using RDS clock data perform the following: Press and hold the HR and MIN buttons together for two or more seconds to update the time.
- The display will show UPDATED after receiving the broadcasted time data.
- If the broadcaster is not broadcasting the time data, the radio will display NO UPDATE and the
time remains unchanged.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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.

- Operator properly trained and ASE-certified (U.S. only) in wheel alignment
Recommendations:
Racking should have front and rear jacking capability.
Equipment Maintenance and Calibration:
Alignment machines must be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information. Most
manufacturers recommend the following:
- Alignment machines with "internal reference" sensors should be checked (and calibrated, if
necessary) every six months.
- Alignment machines with "external reference" (image-based camera technology) should be
checked (and calibrated, if necessary) once a year.
- Racks must be kept level to within 1.6 mm (1/16 in).
- If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged in some way,
check the calibration immediately.
Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration
schedule.
Wheel Alignment Process
When performing wheel alignment measurement and/or adjustment, the following steps should be
taken:
Preliminary Steps:
1. Verify that the vehicle has a full tank of fuel (compensate as necessary). 2. Inspect the wheels
and the tires for damage. 3. Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. 4.
Inspect the wheel bearings for excessive play. 5. Inspect all suspension and steering parts for
looseness, wear, or damage. 6. Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to
stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. 7. Inspect the vehicle trim height. 8. Compensate
for frame angle on targeted vehicles (refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI).
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment angles. However, if the
wheel alignment angles are not within the range of specifications, adjust the wheel alignment to the
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI. Give consideration to excess loads,
such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. Follow the wheel alignment equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
Measure/Adjust:
Important Prior to making any adjustments to wheel alignment on a vehicle, technicians must verify
that the wheel alignment specifications loaded into their wheel alignment machine are up-to-date
by comparing these to the wheel alignment specifications for the appropriate model and model year
in SI. Using incorrect and/or outdated specifications may result in unnecessary adjustments,
irregular and/or premature tire wear and repeat customer concerns

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

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

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 43907 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.

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.

ABS Automated Bleed Procedure
Two - Person Procedure
Important: ^
Use the two-person bleed procedure under the following conditions: Installing a new Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) or new Brake Pressure Modulator Valve
(BPMV).
- Air is trapped in the valve body.
^ Do not drive the vehicle until the brake pedal feels firm. Do not reuse brake fluid that is used during bleeding.
- Use the vacuum, the pressure and the gravity bleeding procedures only for base brake bleeding.
1. Raise the vehicle in order to access the system bleed screws. 2. Bleed the system at the right
rear wheel first. 3. Install a clear hose on the bleed screw. 4. Immerse the opposite end of the hose
into a container partially filled with clean DOT 3 brake fluid. 5. Open the bleed screw 1/2 to 1 full

Replacement Wheels Description
Replace the wheel if any of the following conditions exist: ^
The wheel exhibits excessive runout.
^ The wheel is bent.
^ The wheel is cracked.
^ The wheel is severely rusted.
^ The wheel is severely corroded.
Important: Air leaks caused by porosity on aluminum wheels are repairable.
^ The wheel leaks air.
Caution: If you are replacing the wheel(s), the wheel stud(s), the wheel nut(s) or the wheel bolt(s),

Page 8955
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

Service Precautions
Vehicle Lifting: Service Precautions
CAUTION: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components
are removed from the vehicle and the
vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which
the components are being removed.
To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death, always use the jackstands to
support the vehicle when lifting the vehicle with a jack.
Page 762
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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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

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.

Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

Seat Heater: Description and Operation
HEATED SEATS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The heated seats system consists of the following components: Heated seat switch
- Driver heated seat relay module
- Passenger heated seat relay module
- Driver heated seat thermistor
- Passenger heated seat thermistor
- Driver back cushion heater element
- Driver seat cushion heater element
- Passenger back cushion heater element

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM CONTROLS
The heated seats are controlled by the following components: Headed seat switches
- Heated seat modules
- Passenger seat belt switch
HEATED SEAT OPERATION
Ignition voltage is supplied to the heated seat switches. When a heated seat switch is turned on,
voltage is supplied through a resistor in the switch to the heated seat switch signal circuits and then
to the heated seat module. Battery positive voltage and ground is supplied to the heated seat
module for the heated seat elements. The seat heater module monitors the seat surface
temperature through a thermistor located in the center of the seat back. With the heated seat
switch turned on and the resistance through the heated seat thermistor within acceptable limits, the
module closes an internal relay and battery positive voltage is then supplied to the seat heater
elements. The passengers heated seat will not operate unless the seat belt is connected. This is a
safety feature that ensures the seat will never remain ON.

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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

Condition
Some owners may comment on a rough running condition or a Service Engine Soon (SES) light
being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find a DTC code P0300 or P0335.
Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

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.

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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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

Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Brake Master Cylinder: Service and Repair Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Notice: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme 11, GM
P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake
fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may
cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings
of hydraulic brake system components.
1. Secure the mounting flange of the brake master cylinder in a bench vise so that the rear of the
primary piston is accessible.
2. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 3. Install suitable fittings to the master
cylinder ports that match the type of flare seat required and also provide for hose attachment. 4.
Install transparent hoses to the fittings installed to the master cylinder ports, then route the hoses
into the master cylinder reservoir. 5. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to at least the half-way point
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.
6. Ensure that the ends of the transparent hoses running into the master cylinder reservoir are fully
submerged in the brake fluid. 7. Using a smooth, round-ended tool, depress and release the
primary piston as far as it will travel, a depth of about 25 mm (1 lbs.), several times.
Observe the flow of fluid coming from the ports. As air is bled from the primary and secondary
pistons, the effort required to depress the primary piston will increase and the amount of travel will
decrease.
8. Continue to depress and release the primary piston until fluid flows freely from the ports with no
evidence of air bubbles. 9. Remove the transparent hoses from the master cylinder reservoir.
10. Install the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 11. Remove the fittings with the
transparent hoses from the master cylinder ports. Wrap the master cylinder with a clean shop cloth
to prevent brake
fluid spills.
12. Remove the master cylinder from the vise.

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.

Brake Fluid: Description and Operation
Brake Fluid and Brake Fluid Handling
Use extreme care when selecting brake system fluids or seal damage can result. Do not reuse
brake system fluids. Do not mix power steering fluid with brake fluid. Fluid contamination may result
in swelling and deterioration of rubber parts. This can lead to reduced brake performance and the
eventual loss of braking capability. Service booster components in a clean work area separate from
the brake servicing area. Wash hands before changing work areas. Do not use the same
containers for brake and power steering fluids.
Caution: Brake fluid may be irritating to the skin or the eyes, or may cause nausea, vomiting, or
diarrhea if swallowed. In case of contact or swallowing take the following actions: ^
Eye contact - rinse thoroughly with water
^ Skin contact - wash with soap and water
^ if swallowed - Contact a physician immediately.
Give two glasses of water and induce vomiting by sticking fingers down the throat.
Notice: Brake fluid will damage electrical connections and painted surfaces. Use shop cloths,
suitable containers, and fender covers to prevent brake fluid from contacting these areas. Always
re-seal and wipe off brake fluid containers to prevent spills.
Always store brake fluid in a closed, sealed container. Never use previously opened containers of
stored brake fluid. Always use new brake fluid from a sealed container. Brake fluid left in open or
improperly sealed containers will absorb moisture. Moisture can lower the brake fluid boiling point,
causing the following problems: ^
Brake system contamination
^ Corrosion
^ Deterioration of rubber components
Substandard Or Contaminated Brake Fluid
It the brake fluid contains improper fluid, water, or other contaminates, the brake fluid may boil or
may deteriorate rubber components in the hydraulic brake system. Evidence of rubber deterioration
occurs in the following areas: ^
Swollen master cylinder piston seals
^ Swelling of the wheel cylinder boots
^ Swelling of caliper boots
^ Swelling of the master cylinder reservoir diaphragm
If rubber deterioration is found, replace all rubber parts, including the hoses, in the brake system.
Inspect for brake fluid on the brake linings. Replace the brake linings that are contaminated with
brake fluid. If the brake fluid is contaminated and the master cylinder piston seals are good, check
for leaks and excessive heat conditions. If no leaks or excessive heat conditions are found, flush
the brake system.
Flushing The Hydraulic Brake System
In order to flush the brake hydraulic system, run new brake fluid through the brake system.
Continue until the brake fluid at each bleeder valve comes out clear. Flushing is the only way to
clean contaminated fluid out of the system. Flush the brake hydraulic system for the following
reasons: ^
New hydraulic brake parts are installed
^ Contamination may be present
^ You do not know the grade of brake fluid in the brake system
^ Mineral oil is present in the brake fluid
Fuel Injector Coil Test
Fuel Injector: Testing and Inspection Fuel Injector Coil Test
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is
supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by grounding
the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding resistance that
is too high or too low will affect engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit DTC may not set,
but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by temperature. The
resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the fuel injector
increases.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
- Monitoring the misfire current counters, or misfire graph, may help to isolate the fuel injector that
is causing the condition.
- Operating the vehicle over a wide temperature range may help isolate the fuel injector that is
causing the condition.
- Perform the fuel injector coil test within the conditions of the customer's concern. A fuel injector
condition may only be apparent at a certain temperature, or under certain conditions.

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.
Page 4798
11. Install either the original sensor or a new one in the hub and secure the sensor. Ensure that the
sensor is seated flush against the hub.
12. Install the rotor, the caliper and the wheel.
13. Place the DVM across the sensor terminals and recheck the voltage while rotating the wheel by
hand. The voltage should now read at least 350 ACmV's.

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

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.

Alignment: Description and Operation Toe Description
Toe Description
Toe is a measurement of how much the front and/or rear wheels are turned in or out from a
straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+). When the wheels are
turned out, toe is negative (-). The actual amount of toe is normally only a fraction of a degree. The
purpose of toe is to ensure that the wheels roll parallel. Toe also offsets the small deflections of the
wheel support system that occur when the vehicle is rolling forward. In other words, with the vehicle
standing still and the wheels set with toe-in, the wheels tend to roll parallel on the road when the
vehicle is moving. Improper toe adjustment will cause premature tire wear and cause steering
instability.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation

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).

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.

Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control
module will disable the fuel pump relay within two seconds unless the control module detects
ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as
ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within two
seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. The electric fuel pump supplies fuel through an in-line fuel filter
to the fuel injection system. The pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the
fuel injection system. The fuel pressure regulator maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel
injection system. A separate pipe returns unused fuel to the fuel tank.

COMPACT DISC FEATURES
Compact Disc Features
Each item in the list below represents topics covered in detail below. AM/FM Reception
- Theft Deterrent
- Integral Multi Disc CD Changer (IMDX)
- Radio Data System (RDS)
AM/FM Reception
Radio Signal The radio signal is sent from a broadcast station and is then received by an antenna.
The strength of the signal received depends on the following: The power output (wattage) of the broadcasting station
- The location of the vehicle (or receiver) relative to the broadcast tower.
- Obstacles between the tower and the receiver
- Atmospheric conditions
- What band (AM or FM) the station is broadcasting
- Type of antenna and the ground plane
AM Reception The AM band has a lower frequency range than the FM band. These longer
wavelengths: -
Bend around Obstacles
- Follow the curvature of the earth
- May reflect off the ionosphere (skip)
The AM frequencies have longer range due to the ground wave. The ground wave follows the
curvature of the earth and is effected by its conductivity. Greater conductivity equates to less signal
loss thus transmission over water is better than over land. The AM band has a range of 80-320 km
(50-200 miles).
FM Reception The shorter wavelengths of the higher frequency FM band: Reflect off obstacles
- Are absorbed by the ground
- Penetrate the ionosphere
Broadcasts in the FM band are limited to "line of sight" reception which is typically 40 km (25
miles). Even when out of a direct line of sight, the signal may be reflected into areas that would be
in a "shadow" otherwise. Factors which affect the line of sight include: Height of the broadcast antenna
- Height of the receiving antenna
- Terrain and buildings in the broadcast path

from the PCM indicating the fuel level percent. The fuel gage defaults to empty if:
- The PCM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
- The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the PCM.
When the fuel level is less than a pre-determined value, the low fuel indicator illuminates.

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Condition
Some customers may comment on poor engine performance and the Service Engine Soon/Check
Engine light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0300 set.
Cause
This condition may be due to high levels of internal corrosion in the distributor, causing misfire,
rough idle, stall and Engine Cranks But Does Not Run. This corrosion is attributed to a lack of
airflow internal to the cap caused by the vent screens being clogged with debris.
Correction
Remove the vent screens and inspect the internal components of the Distributor Ignition System
using the procedure listed below. If the distributor base has to be replaced, the vent screens will
also have to be removed on the new distributor. If there is evidence of this internal corrosion,
replace the affected component. Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Engine Controls
sub-section of the applicable Service Manual.
Important:
All of these inspections can be done on-vehicle.
1. Inspect the distributor cap. You may notice a white residue on the cap walls. For higher mileage
occurrences, the interior of the cap may have changed to medium brown in color
2. Inspect the distributor rotor. You may notice the presence of black streaks on the plastic surface.
More typical evidence would be visible green spots on the copper surface of the rotor segment.
3. Inspect the distributor base. You may notice high levels of surface rust on the distributor shaft or
surface contamination on the sensor hold down screws.

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.

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 code 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.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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.

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.

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.

Attention:
This repair can be applied to ANY electrical connection including, but not limited to: lighting, body
electrical, in-line connections, powertrain control sensors, etc. DO NOT over apply lubricant to the
point where it prevents the full engagement of sealed connectors. A light coating on the terminal
surfaces is sufficient to correct the condition.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Attention statement and add the 2011
model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-06-03-004C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
- An intermittent no crank/no start
- Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination
- Intermittent service lamp illumination
- Intermittent service message(s) being displayed
The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a buildup of nonconductive insulating oxidized debris known as
fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector.
This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
- Vibration
- Thermal cycling
- Poor connection/terminal retention
- Micro motion
- A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement
On low current signal circuits this condition may cause high resistance, resulting in intermittent
connections.
On high current power circuits this condition may cause permanent increases in the resistance and
may cause a device to become inoperative.
Representative List of Control Modules and Components
The following is only a representative list of control modules and components that may be affected
by this connection or connector condition and DOES NOT include every possible module or
component for every vehicle.

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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.

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Description
POWERTRAIN
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the control center of this
system. The PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The PCM constantly looks at
the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and emissions. The PCM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the
system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the PCM.
The following are some of the functions that the PCM controls: The engine fueling
- The Ignition Control (IC)
- The Knock Sensor (KS) system
- The Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system
- The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system (if equipped)
- The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system
- The automatic transmission functions
- The generator
- The A/C clutch control
- The cooling fan control
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FUNCTION
The PCM constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs and controls
systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs diagnostic tests
on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver
via the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set.
The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. The input and
output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters, and output
drivers. The output drivers are electronic switches that complete a ground or voltage circuit when
turned on. Most PCM controlled components are operated via output drivers. The PCM monitors
these driver circuits for proper operation and, in most cases, can set a DTC corresponding to the
controlled device if a problem is detected.
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.

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.

Subject: Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior
HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with Cast Aluminum Wheels
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and the bulletin reference
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.

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
Camber Description
Alignment: Description and Operation Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at
the top, the camber is negative (-I). 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.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation
BPMV Hydraulic Flow
This vehicle is equipped with the Kelsey-Hayes EBC325 antilock braking system. The vehicle is
equipped with the following braking enhancement systems: ^
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
^ Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP)
The following components are involved in the operation of the above systems: ^
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) - The EBCM controls the system functions and detects
failures. The ESCM contains the following components: System Relay - The system relay is internal to the EBCM. The system relay is energized when the
ignition is ON. The system relay supplies battery positive voltage to the solenoid valves and to the
pump motor. This voltage is referred to as system voltage.
- Solenoids - The solenoids are commanded by the EBCM to operate the appropriate valves in the
brake pressure modulator valve,
^ Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) - The BPMV uses a 3-circuit configuration to control the
left front wheel, the right front wheel, and the combined rear wheels. The BPMV directs fluid to the
left front and right front wheels independently. The BPMV directs fluid to the two rear wheels on a
single hydraulic circuit. The BPMV contains the following components: Pump Motor
- Three isolation valves (one for each hydraulic circuit)
- Three dump valves (one for each hydraulic circuit)
- A front low-pressure accumulator
- A rear low-pressure accumulator
^ Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS) - As the front wheels spin, a toothed ring located at each wheel
hub interrupts a magnetic field in the wheel speed sensors. This causes the wheel speed sensors
to generate an AC signal. The EBCM uses this AC signal to calculate the wheel speed. The wheel
speed sensors are replaceable only as part of the wheel hub and bearing assemblies. Any
imperfections in the toothed ring, such as a missing or damaged tooth, can cause an inaccurate
WSS signal.
^ Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) - The input signal for rear wheel speed originates with the VSS. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives rear wheel speed information from the VSS and
supplies this information to the EBCM via a serial data message.

drive belt. When removing the drive belt(s) the water pump may not be operating and the engine
may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it may be strings in the
drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent
or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.
Drive Belt Excessive Wear
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis Step 1 - 6
Diagnostic Aids Excessive wear on a drive belt(s) is usually caused by an incorrect installation or
the wrong drive belt for the application. Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause
excessive wear, but will probably cause the drive belt(s) to make a noise or to fall off. Excessive
misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the drive
belt(s) fall off.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. The
inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear on
the drive belt(s) may be caused by
mix-positioning the drive belt(s) by one groove on a pulley.
3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt.
The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves
on all of the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is not contacting any parts of the engine or body while
the engine is operating. There should be
sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt(s)
should not come in contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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

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 code 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.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 00-03-10-006F
Date: May 04, 2010
Subject: Information on Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009
and Prior Saab 9-7X 2000-2005 Saturn L Series 2003-2007 Saturn ION
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to considerably expand the available information on
Radial Force Variation (RFV) and should be reviewed in whole. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Important
- Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven
a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires.
- Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel
assemblies for each vehicle.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation
measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable
tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force
variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads.
Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out
of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three
conditions must be addressed.
Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle,
two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any
imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer,
and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly
balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration.
Before balancing, perform the following procedures.
Tire and Wheel Diagnosis
1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are
centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while
shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick.
3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and
correct as necessary:
- Missing balance weights
- Bent rim flange
- Irregular tire wear
- Incomplete bead seating
- Tire irregularities (including pressure settings)
- Mud/ice build-up in wheel
- Stones in the tire tread
- Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to
diagnosing a smooth road shake condition.
4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a
sufficient distance on a known, smooth road
surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes
are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section
of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration
as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order
(one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high
enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high
to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment.
If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a
throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
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 position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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.

Spark Plug: Service and Repair
SPARK PLUG USAGE
1. Ensure that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability
conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications for
the correct spark plug.
2. Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling-Colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage-Hotter plug
SPARK PLUG INSPECTION
1. Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage.
- Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1).
- Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should
NOT move.
2. Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, soot. This is caused by the electrical
charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the
terminal post (1) and ground. Inspect for the following conditions: Inspect the spark plug boot for damage.
- Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or
water. A spark plug boot that is saturated causes arcing to ground.

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 manual. 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.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1
Page 3888
2. Reprogram the PCM with TIS version 4, released in April 2004 or later titled "New calibration to
reduce the potential for setting P0706. Also addresses 3-2 downshift feel."
With the new calibration, if the P0706 diagnostic fails, the software assumes Park if the engine is
not running. If the engine is running, software uses PSM (pressure switch manifold) as back-up.
Use one of the tour following procedures to reprogram the PCM:
^ Service Programming System (SPS) Remote Procedure.
^ Service Programming System (SPS) Pass-Thru Procedure.
^ Service Programming System (SPS) Off Board Remote Procedure.

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.

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
Page 5785
C601 (Body Harness To Door Harness, RH Front) (W/ Power Locks/Windows) Part 2
Page 6054
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Restraints - Extender Availability For Seat Belt
Seat Belt Extension: Technical Service Bulletins Restraints - Extender Availability For Seat Belt
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.

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,

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener
seating

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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CMP sensor is a hall-effect sensor located in the ignition distributor base, and uses the same
type of circuits as the CKP sensor. The CMP sensor signal is a digital ON/OFF pulse, output once
per revolution of the camshaft. The CMP sensor information is used by the PCM to determine the
position of the valve train relative to the CKP.

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.

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 manual. 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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation

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.
Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP
TOOLS REQUIRED
Page 8957
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

Testing and Inspection
Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection
Spark plug wire integrity is vital for proper engine operation. A thorough inspection will be
necessary to accurately identify conditions that may affect engine operation. Inspect for the
following conditions:
1. Correct routing of the spark plug wires-Incorrect routing may cause cross-firing. 2. Any signs of
cracks or splits in the wires. 3. Inspect each boot for the following conditions:
- Tearing
- Piercing
- Arcing
- Carbon tracking
- Corroded terminal
If corrosion, carbon tracking or arcing are indicated on a spark plug wire boot or on a terminal,
replace the wire and the component connected to the wire.

Bulletin No.: 03-05-24-001A
Date: March 21, 2005
INFORMATION
Subject: Service Information Regarding Rear Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder Inspections
Models: 2005 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2005 and Prior Saturn Vehicles

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.)
Disclaimer
Page 9357
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.

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

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-C 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-C 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.

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.

Rear Defogger: 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 manual. 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.

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.

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

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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION
If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the

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-C 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-C 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.

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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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.

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.
TRIP
A trip is an interval of time during which the diagnostic test runs. A trip may consist of only a key
cycle to power up the PCM, allow the diagnostic to run, then cycle the key off to power down the
PCM. A trip may also involve a PCM power up, meeting specific conditions to run the diagnostic
test, then powering down the PCM. The definition of a trip depends upon the diagnostic. Some
diagnostic tests run only once per trip (i.e., catalyst monitor) while other tests run continuously
during each trip (i.e. misfire).
WARM-UP CYCLE
The PCM uses warm-up cycles to run some diagnostics and to clear any diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs). A warm-up cycle occurs when the engine coolant temperature increases 22°C (40°F) from
the start-up temperature. The engine coolant must also achieve a minimum temperature of 71°C
(160 °F). The PCM counts the number of warm-up cycles in order to clear the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL). The PCM will clear the DTCs when 40 consecutive warm-up cycles occur without a
malfunction.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
The PCM is programmed with test routines that test the operation of the various systems the PCM
controls. Some tests monitor internal PCM functions. Many tests are run continuously. Other tests
run only under specific conditions, referred to as Conditions for Running the DTC. When the
vehicle is operating within the conditions for running a particular test, the PCM monitors certain
parameters and determines if the values are within an expected range. The parameters and values
considered outside the range of normal operation are listed as Conditions for Setting the DTC.
When the Conditions for Setting the DTC occur, the PCM executes the Action Taken When the
DTC Sets. Some DTCs alert the driver via the MIL or a message. Other DTCs do not trigger a
driver warning, but are stored in memory. The PCM also saves data and input parameters when
most DTCs are set. This data is stored in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records.
The DTCs are categorized by type. The DTC type is determined by the MIL operation and the
manner in which the fault data is stored when a particular DTC fails. In some cases there may be
exceptions to this structure. Therefore, when diagnosing the system it is important to read the
Action Taken When the DTC Sets and the Conditions for Clearing the DTC in the supporting text.
There are different types of DTCs and different actions taken when the DTCs set. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for a description of the general characteristics of
each DTC type. See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble
Code Descriptions
DTC STATUS
When the scan tool displays a DTC, the status of the DTC is also displayed. The following DTC
statuses are indicated only when they apply to the DTC that is set.
Fail This Ign. (Fail This Ignition): Indicates that this DTC failed during the present ignition cycle.
Last Test Fail: Indicates that this DTC failed the last time the test ran. The last test may have run
during a previous ignition cycle if an A or B type DTC is displayed. For type C DTCs, the last failure
must have occurred during the current ignition cycle to appear as Last Test Fail.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Excessive Wear
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis Step 1 - 6
Diagnostic Aids Excessive wear on a drive belt(s) is usually caused by an incorrect installation or
the wrong drive belt for the application. Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause
excessive wear, but will probably cause the drive belt(s) to make a noise or to fall off. Excessive
misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the drive
belt(s) fall off.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. The
inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear on
the drive belt(s) may be caused by
mix-positioning the drive belt(s) by one groove on a pulley.
3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt.
The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves
on all of the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is not contacting any parts of the engine or body while
the engine is operating. There should be
sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt(s)
should not come in contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C 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-C 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-C. 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.

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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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-A 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.

Supercede:
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

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-C 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-C 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.
Page 755
Page 9783
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

The smearing of the metal is due to slippage. Slippage can be caused by the following factors: ^
Poor fits
^ Lubrication
^ Overheating
^ Overloads
^ Handling damage
If this condition occurs, perform the following: 1. Check the seals. 2. Check for proper fit. 3. Check
for proper lubrication. 4. Clean all the parts and the housings. 5. Replace the bearings.
Stain Discoloration
The discoloration on the bearings is caused by incorrect lubrication or moisture and ranges in color
from light brown to black. Reuse the bearing if you can remove the stains with light polishing and
there is no evidence of overheating. If this condition occurs, perform the following: 1. Check the
seals. 2. Clean all the parts and the housings. 3. Replace the bearings, if necessary.
Heat Discoloration
The heat discoloration on the bearings ranges from faint yellow to dark blue and results from
overload or an incorrect lubricant. Excessive heat causes softening of the races or the rollers. In
order to check for loss of temper on the races and the rollers, perform a file test. A file drawn over a
tempered part will grab and cut the metal and fail the file test. A file drawn over a hard part will glide
with no metal cutting. If overheating damage is indicated, perform the following: 1. Check the seals.
2. Clean all the parts and the housings. 3. Replace the bearings.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

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-C. 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.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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

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

Testing For 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.

Wheels: Testing and Inspection Wheel Mounting Surface Check
Wheel Mounting Surface Check
Replace any wheels that are bent or dented, or have excessive lateral or radial runout. Wheels with
runout greater than specified may cause objectionable vibrations.
1. Use a straight edge 203-229 mm (8-9 inch) long. Place the straight edge on the wheel inboard
mounting surface. Try to rock the straightedge up
and down within the mounting surface.
2. Repeat this procedure on at least 3-4 different positions on the inboard mounting surface.
^ The outer ring of the mounting surface normally is raised above everything inside the mounting
surface.
^ The mounting surface will be raised above the outer ring if the wheel mounting surface has been
bent on a tire changer.
^ If you can rock the straight edge, the mounting surface is bent and you must replace the wheel.
3. Inspect the mounting wheel/nut holes for damage caused from over-torquing the wheel/nuts.
Inspect for collapsed wheel/nut bosses. Inspect for
cracked wheel bosses.
Notice: The use of non-GM original equipment wheels may cause: ^

Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis Step 1 - 8
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(s) 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 replacing the
drive belt(s), completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the drive belt(s) is
installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the load on the
different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the
rumbling noise.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) 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(s) is causing the rumbling noise.
Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the
similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive
belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may
overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspecting the drive belt(s) is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the
ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt
separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt
our felt as a lump in the belt.
5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive
belt does not have a smooth surface for proper
operation.

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 wheel speed sensor mounting surfaces.
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. Disconnect both the front wheel speed sensor harness connectors.
3. Place a DVM across the terminals of each sensor connector.
4. Rotate the wheel with hand speed and measure the ACmV's. The reading should be at least 350
ACmV's.
5. If the reading is between 200 and 350 ACmV's, remove the wheel, caliper and rotor in order to
gain access to the speed sensor.
6. Remove the wheel speed sensor and plug the hole to prevent debris from falling into the hub
during service.
7. Clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface using a wire brush, sand paper, emery cloth,
ScotchBrite(TM) or other suitable material. Be sure to thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor
surface. There should be no rust or corrosion.
8. 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.
9. 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 (Canadian P/N 89022218).
10. 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 0-ring prior to sensor installation. Use ONLY Wheel Bearing
Lubricant, P/N 01051344 (Canadian P/N 993037).

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the
ignition timing advance for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from
potentially damaging levels of detonation. The sensors in the KS system are used by the PCM as
microphones to listen for abnormal engine noise that may indicate pre-ignition/detonation.
SENSOR DESCRIPTION
There are 2 types of KS currently being used: The broadband single wire sensor
- The flat response 2-wire sensor
Both sensors use piezo-electric crystal technology to produce and send signals to the PCM. The
amplitude and frequency of this signal will vary constantly depending on the vibration level within
the engine. Flat response and broadband KS signals are processed differently by the PCM. The
major differences are outlined below: All broadband sensors use a single wire circuit. Some types of controllers will output a bias voltage
on the KS signal wire. The bias voltage creates a voltage drop the PCM monitors and uses to help
diagnose KS faults. The KS noise signal rides along this bias voltage, and due to the constantly
fluctuating frequency and amplitude of the signal, will always be outside the bias voltage
parameters. Another way to use the KS signals is for the PCM to learn the average normal noise
output from the KS. The PCM uses this noise channel, and KS signal that rides along the noise
channel, in much the same way as the bias voltage type does. Both systems will constantly monitor
the KS system for a signal that is not present or falls within the noise channel.
- The flat response KS uses a 2-wire circuit. The KS signal rides within a noise channel which is
learned and output by the PCM. This noise channel is based upon the normal noise input from the
KS and is known as background noise. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper
and lower parameters will change to accommodate the KS signal, keeping the signal within the
channel. If there is knock, the signal will range outside the noise channel and the PCM will reduce
spark advance until the knock is reduced. These sensors are monitored in much the same way as
the broadband sensors, except that an abnormal signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will
not be present.
KS diagnostics can be calibrated to detect faults with the KS diagnostic inside the PCM, the KS
wiring, the sensor output, or constant knocking from an outside influence such as a loose or
damaged component. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the PCM uses KS signal
information when the cylinders are near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke.

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.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener
seating

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

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

Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

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.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C 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-C.

Bulletin No.: 08-03-10-006C
Date: April 27, 2010
Subject: Tire Slowly Goes Flat, Tire Air Loss, Low Tire Pressure Warning Light Illuminated,
Aluminum Wheel Bead Seat Corrosion (Clean and Resurface Wheel Bead Seat)
Models:
2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or
weeks.
Cause
Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat.
There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and
this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear
continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the
environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may
appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be
visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in
an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum
Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant)
Correction
In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below.
Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to
repair the wheel with the procedure below.
Notice
The repair is no longer advised or applicable for chromed aluminum wheels.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly for diagnosis. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and
Installation in SI. 2. After a water dunk tank leak test, if you determine the source of the air leak to
be around the bead seat of the wheel, dismount the tire to examine
the bead seat. Shown below is a typical area of bead seat corrosion.Typical Location of Bead Seat

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.
Thrust Angle Description
Thrust Angles Description
The front wheels aim or steer the vehicles. The real 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
Lead/Pull Description
Lead/pull is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight path, on a level road, without hand pressure
on the steering wheel. Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^
Tire construction
^ Uneven brake adjustment
^ Wheel alignment
The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead.
Memory Steer Description
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.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause
the

Front Caster and Camber Adjustment
Important: Before you adjust caster and camber angles, raise and release the front bumper. Do this
twice in order to allow the vehicle to return to a normal height.
1. Adjust the caster and the camber by inserting shims between the upper control arm shaft and
the frame bracket. Add shims or subtract shims or
transfer shims in order to change the readings.
2. In order to adjust the caster and the camber, loosen the upper control arm shaft-to-frame nuts
(1). Add shims or remove shims (2) as required.
Tighten the nuts. Check the toe after you change the caster and the camber.
3. Caster-Transfer the shims from front to rear or from rear to front. The transfer of one shim from
the rear bolt to the front bolt decreases positive
caster.
4. Camber-Change the shims at the front and the rear of the cross shaft. Add an equal number of
shims at the front and the rear of the cross shaft.
This decreases positive camber.
5. A normal shim pack will leave at least two threads of the bolt exposed beyond the nut (1). The
difference between the front shim pack and the rear
shim pack must not exceed 10 mm (0.40 inch). If you cannot meet these requirements, check for
damage to the control arms and to related parts.
6. Tighten the nut on the thinner shim pack first. This improves the shaft-to-frame clamping force.
This also improves torque retention.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CKP sensor is a three wire sensor based on the magneto resistive principle. A magneto
resistive sensor uses two magnetic pickups between a permanent magnet. As an element such as
a reluctor wheel passes the magnets the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the
sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The PCM supplies a 12-volt, low reference,
and signal circuit to the CKP sensor. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF pulse 3 times per
crankshaft revolution for the V6 engine, 4 times for the V8 engine. The CKP sensor reads the
crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel to identify pairs of cylinders at Top Dead Center (TDC).

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

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently
push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3).
IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large
enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large
enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
TERMINAL REPAIR
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment,
apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.
Weather Pack Connectors
WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS
The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors.
1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in
terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the
terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position.
4. Insert the Weather Pack(r) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal
through the back of the connector (2).
IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.
6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in
connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is
complete and working satisfactorily.
10. Perform system check.

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.

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.

Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Testing and Inspection
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine idle speed is controlled by the idle air control (IAC) valve. The IAC valve is on the
throttle body. The IAC valve pintle moves in and out of an idle air passage bore to control air flow
around the throttle plate. The IAC valve consists of a movable pintle, driven by a gear attached to
an electric motor called a stepper motor. The stepper motor is capable of highly accurate rotation,
or of movement, called steps. The stepper motor has 2 separate windings that are called coils.
Each coil is supplied current by two circuits from the powertrain control module (PCM). When the
PCM changes polarity of a coil, the stepper motor moves one step. The PCM uses a
predetermined number of counts to determine the IAC pintle position. Observe IAC counts with a
scan tool. The IAC counts will increment up or down as the PCM attempts to change the IAC valve
pintle position. An IAC Reset will occur when the ignition key is turned OFF. First, the PCM will seat
the IAC pintle in the idle air passage bore. Second, the PCM will retract the pintle a predetermined
number of counts to allow for efficient engine start-up. If the engine idle speed is out of range for a
calibrated period of time, an idle speed diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Inspect for the following conditions: High resistance in an IAC valve control circuit
- The correct positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve, properly installed and proper operation of
the PCV valve
- Proper operation and installation of all air intake components
- Proper installation and operation of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor, if equipped
- A tampered with or damaged throttle stop screw
- A tampered with or damaged throttle plate, throttle shaft, throttle linkage, or cruise control linkage,
if equipped
- A skewed high throttle position (TP) sensor
- Excessive deposits in the IAC passage or on the IAC pintle
- Excessive deposits in the throttle bore or on the throttle plate
- Vacuum leaks
- A high or unstable idle condition could be caused by a non-IAC system problem that can not be
overcome by the IAC valve. Refer to Symptoms - Computers and Control Systems. See: Testing
and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
- If the problem is determined to be intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions. See: Testing and
Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic Strategies

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

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.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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

- 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
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
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
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-C 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-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
Page 8970
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-C 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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Description
POWERTRAIN
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the control center of this
system. The PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The PCM constantly looks at
the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and emissions. The PCM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the
system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the PCM.
The following are some of the functions that the PCM controls: The engine fueling
- The Ignition Control (IC)
- The Knock Sensor (KS) system
- The Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system
- The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system (if equipped)
- The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system
- The automatic transmission functions
- The generator
- The A/C clutch control
- The cooling fan control
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FUNCTION
The PCM constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs and controls
systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs diagnostic tests
on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver
via the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set.
The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. The input and
output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters, and output
drivers. The output drivers are electronic switches that complete a ground or voltage circuit when
turned on. Most PCM controlled components are operated via output drivers. The PCM monitors
these driver circuits for proper operation and, in most cases, can set a DTC corresponding to the
controlled device if a problem is detected.
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.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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.

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.

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 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

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-C 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.

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.
TRIP
A trip is an interval of time during which the diagnostic test runs. A trip may consist of only a key
cycle to power up the PCM, allow the diagnostic to run, then cycle the key off to power down the
PCM. A trip may also involve a PCM power up, meeting specific conditions to run the diagnostic
test, then powering down the PCM. The definition of a trip depends upon the diagnostic. Some
diagnostic tests run only once per trip (i.e., catalyst monitor) while other tests run continuously
during each trip (i.e. misfire).
WARM-UP CYCLE
The PCM uses warm-up cycles to run some diagnostics and to clear any diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs). A warm-up cycle occurs when the engine coolant temperature increases 22°C (40°F) from
the start-up temperature. The engine coolant must also achieve a minimum temperature of 71°C
(160 °F). The PCM counts the number of warm-up cycles in order to clear the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL). The PCM will clear the DTCs when 40 consecutive warm-up cycles occur without a
malfunction.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
The PCM is programmed with test routines that test the operation of the various systems the PCM
controls. Some tests monitor internal PCM functions. Many tests are run continuously. Other tests
run only under specific conditions, referred to as Conditions for Running the DTC. When the
vehicle is operating within the conditions for running a particular test, the PCM monitors certain
parameters and determines if the values are within an expected range. The parameters and values
considered outside the range of normal operation are listed as Conditions for Setting the DTC.
When the Conditions for Setting the DTC occur, the PCM executes the Action Taken When the
DTC Sets. Some DTCs alert the driver via the MIL or a message. Other DTCs do not trigger a
driver warning, but are stored in memory. The PCM also saves data and input parameters when
most DTCs are set. This data is stored in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records.
The DTCs are categorized by type. The DTC type is determined by the MIL operation and the
manner in which the fault data is stored when a particular DTC fails. In some cases there may be
exceptions to this structure. Therefore, when diagnosing the system it is important to read the
Action Taken When the DTC Sets and the Conditions for Clearing the DTC in the supporting text.
There are different types of DTCs and different actions taken when the DTCs set. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for a description of the general characteristics of
each DTC type. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
DTC STATUS
When the scan tool displays a DTC, the status of the DTC is also displayed. The following DTC
statuses are indicated only when they apply to the DTC that is set.
Fail This Ign. (Fail This Ignition): Indicates that this DTC failed during the present ignition cycle.
Last Test Fail: Indicates that this DTC failed the last time the test ran. The last test may have run
during a previous ignition cycle if an A or B type DTC is displayed. For type C DTCs, the last failure
must have occurred during the current ignition cycle to appear as Last Test Fail.
MIL Request: Indicates that this DTC is currently requesting the MIL. This selection will report type
B DTCs only when they have requested the MIL (failed twice).
Test Fail SCC (Test Failed Since Code Clear): Indicates that this DTC that has reported a failure
since the last time DTCs were cleared. History indicates that the DTC is stored in the PCM History
memory. Type B DTCs will not appear in History until they have requested the MIL (failed twice).
History will be displayed for all type A DTCs and type B DTCs (which have requested the MIL) that
have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles. Type C DTCs that have failed within the last 40
warm-up cycles will also appear in History.
NOT RUN SCC (NOT RUN SINCE CODE CLEAR): DTCs will be listed in this category if the
diagnostic has not run since DTCs were last cleared. This status is not included with the DTC
display since the DTC can not be set if the diagnostic has not run. This information is displayed
when DTC Info is requested using the scan tool.

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 manual. 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 4542
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.

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-C 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-C 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.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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.

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

Heated Glass Element: Description and Operation
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The rear window defogger system consist of the following components: HVAC control assembly
- RR DEFOG relay
- Rear window defogger grid
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER OPERATION
Battery positive voltage is supplied to the RR DEFOG relay switched input. Ignition voltage is
supplied through the IGN E fuse, in the underhood fuse block, to the RR DEFOG relay coil. When
you start the engine, and depress the rear window defogger switch. The HVAC control assembly
illuminates the rear window defogger indicator and energizes the RR DEFOG relay by grounding
the control circuit of the relay. This allows battery positive voltage from the relay switched input
through the switch contacts and out the relay switched output to the RR DEFOG fuse and then to
the rear window defogger grid. Ground for the rear window defogger grid is provided by G420.
When you start the engine and press the rear window defogger switch for the first time, the
defogger cycle lasts for 10 minutes. Further operation results in 5 minute defogger cycles. The
defogger cycle resets to 10 minutes when you cycle the ignition to the OFF position and then start
the engine.

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

INFORMATION
Subject: Information on Obtaining Replacement Navigation Discs When Radios are Exchanged Order Replacement Navigation Disc Through Navigation Disc Center
Models: 2007 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2007 and Prior
HUMMER H2, H3 2007 and Prior Saab 9-7X
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.

drive belt. When removing the drive belt(s) the water pump may not be operating and the engine
may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it may be strings in the
drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent
or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.
Drive Belt Excessive Wear
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis Step 1 - 6
Diagnostic Aids Excessive wear on a drive belt(s) is usually caused by an incorrect installation or
the wrong drive belt for the application. Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause
excessive wear, but will probably cause the drive belt(s) to make a noise or to fall off. Excessive
misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the drive
belt(s) fall off.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. The
inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear on
the drive belt(s) may be caused by
mix-positioning the drive belt(s) by one groove on a pulley.
3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt.
The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves
on all of the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is not contacting any parts of the engine or body while
the engine is operating. There should be
sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt(s)
should not come in contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.

Only)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior
Saturn and Saab 2002 and Prior Isuzu
Attention:
This bulletin has been created to address potential issues and questions regarding KeyCode
security. This bulletin should be read by all parties involved in KeyCode activity, including dealer
operator, partner security coordinator, sales, service and parts departments. A copy of this bulletin
should be printed and maintained in the parts department for use as a reference.
Important U.S. dealers should refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 10-00-89-009.
Where Are Key Codes Located?
General Motors provides access to KeyCodes through three sources when a vehicle is delivered to
a dealer. Vehicle KeyCodes are located on the original vehicle invoice to the dealership. There is a
small white bar coded tag sent with most new vehicles that also has the key code printed on it.
Dealerships should make a practice of comparing the tag's keycode numbers to the keycode listed
on the invoice. Any discrepancy should be reported immediately to the GM of Canada Key Code
Inquiry Desk. Remember to remove the key tag prior to showing vehicles to potential customers.
The third source for Key codes is through the GM KeyCode Look-Up feature within the
OEConnection D2DLink application. KeyCode Look-Up currently goes back 17 previous model
years from the current model year.
When a vehicle is received by the dealership, care should be taken to safeguard the original
vehicle invoice and KeyCode tag provided with the vehicle. Potential customers should not have
access to the invoice or this KeyCode tag prior to the sale being completed. After a sale has been
completed, the KeyCode information belongs to the customer and General Motors.
Tip
Only the original invoice contains key code information, a re-printed invoice does not.
GM KeyCode Look-Up Application for GM of Canada Dealers
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.

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).

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

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.

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

geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension.
Setback Description
Setback Description
Setback applies to both the front and the rear wheels. Setback is the amount that one wheel may
be aligned behind the other wheel. Setback may be the result of a road hazard or a collision. The
first clue is a caster difference from side-to-side of more than 1 degree.
Wander Description
Wander Description
Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external
disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

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

Condition
Some owners may comment on a rough running condition or a Service Engine Soon (SES) light
being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find a DTC code P0300 or P0335.
Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
1. Ensure that the vehicle batteries are in good condition, and fully charged. 2. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. 3. Disconnect the positive ignition coil wire plug
from the ignition coil. 4. Disconnect the fuel injector electrical connector. 5. Remove all of the spark
plugs.
Notice: Do not insert objects into the throttle plate opening. Damage to the throttle body can result,
requiring replacement of the throttle body assembly.
6. Block the throttle linkage wide open. 7. Install the engine cylinder compression gage to the
cylinder being tested. 8. Using the vehicle starter motor, rotate, or crank the engine for 4
compression strokes, or puffs, for the cylinder being tested. If the engine rotates
for more than 4 compression strokes, test the cylinder again.
9. Record the compression reading.
10. Remove the engine cylinder compression gage from the cylinder being tested. 11. Repeat
steps 8 - 11 for each additional cylinder. All cylinders must be tested to obtain valid test results. 12.
If any cylinders have low compression, inject approximately 15 ml (1 oz) of engine oil into the
cylinder through the spark plug hole. 13. Repeat steps 8 - 11 for all low compression cylinders. 14.
The minimum compression in any one cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690
kpa (100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any one cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the
lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). Multiply the highest
cylinder pressure by 70 percent, 1035 kPa x 70 percent = 725 kPa (150 psi x 70 percent = 105 psi),
in order to determine the lowest allowable pressure in any other cylinder. ^
Normal The compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression.
^ Piston rings leaking Compression is low on the first compression stroke. The compression builds
up on the following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when
you add oil.
^ Valves leaking Compression is low on the first compression stroke. The compression does not
build up on the following strokes, and does not reach normal. Compression does not improve
much, if at all, when you add oil.
^ Head gasket leaking Compression is low on the first stroke. The compression does not build up
on the following strokes, and does not reach normal. Compression does not improve much, if at all,
when you add oil. Adjacent cylinders have the same, or similar, low compression readings.
15. If one or more cylinders fails to meet the minimum specified compression, repair or replace all
damaged or worn components and test the engine
again.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP
sensor circuits are connected directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) and consists of the
following circuits:
^ The 12-volt reference circuit
^ The low reference circuit
^ The CKP sensor signal circuit
If the PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds, DTC P0336 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is inconsistent for 2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time
the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the
diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the
operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 02-07-30-052F (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Important All labor operations that include removal of the transmission from the vehicle include
labor time to flush the transmission oil cooler system.
The J 45096 transmission oil cooling system flush and flow test tool replaces current tool J
35944-A. J 45096 is a self-contained unit utilizing a 12-volt flow meter, shop air supply and
DEXRON(R) VI automatic transmission fluid (ATF). In the flush mode, transmission fluid is cycled
through the transmission oil cooling system. High-pressure air is automatically injected into the fluid
stream adding agitation to the ATF oil to enhance the removal of contaminated ATF oil and debris.
In the flow mode, an electronic flow meter is used to measure the flow capability of the ATF oil
cooling system. A digital display indicates the ATF oil flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) along
with the amount of ATF oil in the supply vessel, supply vessel ATF oil temperature, machine cycles
and the operating mode. The supply oil vessel has 30 L (32 qt) capacity and the waste oil vessel
has 32 L (34 qt) capacity. The waste oil vessel is constructed of a translucent composite material
that allows the user to easily identify the oil level. The waste oil vessel can accommodate vacuum
evacuation and gravity draining. In the code mode, a random, encrypted code is generated that can
be used for verification of flow test results.
Current essential cooler line adapters are used to connect the J 45096 to the automatic
transmission oil cooler lines that allows J 45096 to adapt to General Motors passenger cars and
light duty trucks, current and past models (except the Pontiac Vibe, Wave and Chevrolet Aveo).
The tool may be adapted for use on the Pontiac Vibe, Wave and Chevrolet Aveo by dealership
personnel with a barbed hose connector and rubber hose obtained locally. The
Vibe's/Wave's/Aveo's transmission has a transmission oil requirement which is slightly different
than DEXRON(R) VI ATF. However, flushing the cooler with DEXRON(R) VI automatic
transmission fluid is an acceptable service procedure. Very little fluid remains in the cooler after the
flush procedure and the residual DEXRON(R) VI ATF in the cooler is compatible with the
Vibe's/Wave's/Aveo's transmission fluid.
Notice
Insufficient oil flow through the ATF oil cooling system will cause premature transmission failure.
The required minimum ATF oil flow rate reading is directly related to the supply oil temperature.
Refer to the flow rate reference chart for the oil flow rate specification based on the temperature of
the ATF in the supply vessel.
Helpful Hints for Maintaining the Temperature at or above 18°C (65°F)
Important
- The temperature of the supply vessel oil must be 18°C (65°F) or greater for J 45096 to operate. It
is recommended to store the J 45096 in an area of the dealership where the room temperature
remains at or above 18°C (65°F) when not in use.
- Do not attempt to increase the fluid temperature in the Transflow(R) machine with an engine oil
dipstick, or any other immersion type heater. The Transflow(R) machine has a check valve in the
supply reservoir. Inserting a heater will damage the check valve and the subsequent repair
expense would be the dealer's responsibility.
- A heater blanket, P/N J-45096-10, is available for the Transflow(R) transmission cooling system
flushing tool. This heater fastens around the Transflow(R) internal supply vessel and runs on 110
volts AC. The heater will warm the ATF in the supply vessel to at least 18°C (65° F) and has a
thermostat to hold a constant temperature.
Store the Transmission Cooling System Service Tool, J 45096, Transflow(R) machine in a room
where the temperature is maintained at or above 18°C (65°F).
Keep the ATF level in the reservoir low when the Transmission Cooling System Service Tool, J
45096, Transflow(R), is not in use. Store several gallons of oil in an area where the temperature is
maintained at or above 18°C (65°F). Fill the reservoir of the J 45096 as needed before using the
machine on

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the
ignition timing advance for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from
potentially damaging levels of detonation. The sensors in the KS system are used by the PCM as
microphones to listen for abnormal engine noise that may indicate pre-ignition/detonation.
SENSOR DESCRIPTION
There are 2 types of KS currently being used: The broadband single wire sensor
- The flat response 2-wire sensor
Both sensors use piezo-electric crystal technology to produce and send signals to the PCM. The
amplitude and frequency of this signal will vary constantly depending on the vibration level within
the engine. Flat response and broadband KS signals are processed differently by the PCM. The
major differences are outlined below: All broadband sensors use a single wire circuit. Some types of controllers will output a bias voltage
on the KS signal wire. The bias voltage creates a voltage drop the PCM monitors and uses to help
diagnose KS faults. The KS noise signal rides along this bias voltage, and due to the constantly
fluctuating frequency and amplitude of the signal, will always be outside the bias voltage
parameters. Another way to use the KS signals is for the PCM to learn the average normal noise
output from the KS. The PCM uses this noise channel, and KS signal that rides along the noise
channel, in much the same way as the bias voltage type does. Both systems will constantly monitor
the KS system for a signal that is not present or falls within the noise channel.
- The flat response KS uses a 2-wire circuit. The KS signal rides within a noise channel which is
learned and output by the PCM. This noise channel is based upon the normal noise input from the
KS and is known as background noise. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper
and lower parameters will change to accommodate the KS signal, keeping the signal within the
channel. If there is knock, the signal will range outside the noise channel and the PCM will reduce
spark advance until the knock is reduced. These sensors are monitored in much the same way as
the broadband sensors, except that an abnormal signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will
not be present.
KS diagnostics can be calibrated to detect faults with the KS diagnostic inside the PCM, the KS
wiring, the sensor output, or constant knocking from an outside influence such as a loose or
damaged component. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the PCM uses KS signal
information when the cylinders are near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke.

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or
weeks.
Cause
Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat.
There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and
this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear
continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the
environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may
appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be
visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in
an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum
Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant)
Correction
In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below.
Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to
repair the wheel with the procedure below.
Notice
The repair is no longer advised or applicable for chromed aluminum wheels.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly for diagnosis. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and
Installation in SI. 2. After a water dunk tank leak test, if you determine the source of the air leak to
be around the bead seat of the wheel, dismount the tire to examine

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Notice: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme 11, GM
P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake
fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may
cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings
of hydraulic brake system components.
1. Secure the mounting flange of the brake master cylinder in a bench vise so that the rear of the
primary piston is accessible.
2. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 3. Install suitable fittings to the master
cylinder ports that match the type of flare seat required and also provide for hose attachment. 4.
Install transparent hoses to the fittings installed to the master cylinder ports, then route the hoses
into the master cylinder reservoir. 5. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to at least the half-way point
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.
6. Ensure that the ends of the transparent hoses running into the master cylinder reservoir are fully
submerged in the brake fluid. 7. Using a smooth, round-ended tool, depress and release the
primary piston as far as it will travel, a depth of about 25 mm (1 lbs.), several times.
Observe the flow of fluid coming from the ports. As air is bled from the primary and secondary
pistons, the effort required to depress the primary piston will increase and the amount of travel will
decrease.
8. Continue to depress and release the primary piston until fluid flows freely from the ports with no
evidence of air bubbles. 9. Remove the transparent hoses from the master cylinder reservoir.
10. Install the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 11. Remove the fittings with the
transparent hoses from the master cylinder ports. Wrap the master cylinder with a clean shop cloth
to prevent brake
fluid spills.

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 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 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 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.

(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.

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.

Transmission Cooler: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Oil Cooler Flushing Frequently Asked
Questions
File In Section: 07 - Transmission/Transaxle
Bulletin No.: 03-07-30-027
Date: June, 2003
INFORMATION
Subject: Most Frequently Asked Questions and Answers for J 45096 TransFlow Transmission Oil
Cooling System Flushing Machine
Models: 2004 and Prior Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks with Automatic
Transmission/Transaxle
2004 and Prior HUMMER H2
This bulletin is issued to help answer the most frequently asked questions and concerns about
essential tool J 45096.
Q: Why doesn't the machine work below 18°C (65°F)?
A: The flow characteristics of ATF at temperatures below 18°C (65°F) does not provide accurate
flow test results with the electronics used in the J
45096.
Q: Why didn't the unit come with a tank heater?
A: The vast majority of dealerships do not require a heater to keep the ATF above 18°C (65°F). As
a result, the heater was deleted as a cost-savings
measure. A tank heater, J 45096-10, is currently available from Kent-Moore if your dealership
requires it. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-07-30-002A for suggestions on warming the ATF
without using a heater blanket.
Q: Why does the machine fail new oil coolers?
A: Several reasons have been found. The most likely reason is the air pressure at the air hose
connected to the J 45096 is less than 586 kPa (85 psi).
Other reasons include a twisted hose inside the J 45096 at the bulkhead as a result of the nut
turning when the waste or supply hose was installed, the internal pressure regulator was
improperly set at the factory or a problem with the cooler lines on the vehicle. Perform the J 45096
self-test as described on pages 9 and 10 of the Operation Manual. If a problem is still detected,
refer to Troubleshooting on page 19 of the Operation Manual. If a problem still persists, contact
Kent-Moore Customer Service at 1-800-345-2233.
Q: What is the difference between steel and aluminum oil coolers?
A: The aluminum oil cooler tube is slightly thinner in construction than the steel oil cooler tube,
which affects the oil flow rate. The fitting that is
protruding out of the radiator tank easily identifies the aluminum oil cooler. Refer to the Quick
Reference card provided with the J 45096 in order to identify the proper flow rate for the aluminum
oil cooler.
Q: Why can't I use TransFlow for Allison transmission cooling Systems?
A: Validation of TransFlow is currently under development for light duty trucks equipped with the
Allison automatic transmission. TransFlow is based
on the existing MINIMUM flow rate specification through the transmission oil cooling system. The
Allison transmission oil cooling system only has MAXIMUM oil flow rates specified and J 45096
does not have the capability to test the transmission oil cooling system at the maximum oil flow rate
specification.
Q: Why doesn't GM publish a specification for auxiliary transmission oil coolers?
A: The auxiliary oil cooler used with GM vehicles does not contain an internal turbulator plate like
the radiator tank oil cooler does. Therefore, there is
no internal restriction that would affect the flow rate through the oil cooling system so a
specification for auxiliary oil cooler is not required. Keep in mind, kinks and damage to the auxiliary
cooler and lines can affect the flow rate through the system.
Q: Why did GM drop the labor time for transmission repairs?
A: The labor for flushing and flow testing the transmission oil cooling system is included with the
R&R; labor of the "K" labor operations that require
transmission removal. The time required to use the J 45096 to perform the flush and flow test is
much less than that of the J 35944-A. The warranty labor savings allowed GM to provide the J
45096 at no cost to dealerships.

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener
seating

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.

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

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

Testing and Inspection
Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection
Spark plug wire integrity is vital for proper engine operation. A thorough inspection will be
necessary to accurately identify conditions that may affect engine operation. Inspect for the
following conditions:
1. Correct routing of the spark plug wires-Incorrect routing may cause cross-firing. 2. Any signs of
cracks or splits in the wires. 3. Inspect each boot for the following conditions:
- Tearing
- Piercing
- Arcing
- Carbon tracking
- Corroded terminal
If corrosion, carbon tracking or arcing are indicated on a spark plug wire boot or on a terminal,
replace the wire and the component connected to the wire.

3. Install the hose to the nozzles. 4. Install the hose clip to the hood. 5. Close the hood.
Page 9368
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-C 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.

KEY AND LOCK CYLINDER CODING
KEY IDENTIFICATION AND USAGE
The lock cylinder keyway is designed so that other model keys will not enter a current model lock
cylinder. A single key is used for all locks on the vehicle.
The key identification is obtained from the four-character key code stamped on the knockout
portion of the key head. Knock the plugs out of the key head after code numbers have been
recorded. The code list, available to owners of key cutting equipment from equipment suppliers,
determines the lock combinations from the code numbers.
CUTTING KEYS
After the code has been determined from the code list or the key code diagram, perform the
following steps: 1. Cut a blank key to the proper level of each of the tumbler positions. 2. Inspect
the key operation in the lock cylinder.
REPLACEMENT LOCK CYLINDERS
New lock cylinders (except ignition lock cylinders) are available from the service parts warehouse
with new lock cylinder locking bars. The tumblers are also available and must be assembled into
the cylinder as recommended. For additional information, refer to the following.
LOCK CYLINDER TUMBLER OPERATION
All lock tumblers are shaped alike with the exception of the notched position on one side. As the
key is inserted into the lock cylinder, the tumblers are lowered to the correct height so that notches
on each tumbler are at the same level. When the notches on all 6 tumblers line up, 2 small springs
push the side bar into the notches, allowing the cylinder to turn in the cylinder bore. Five types of
tumblers are used in making the lock combinations, and each is coded and stamped with a number
between 1 and 5.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some

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.

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.
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.
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.
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. 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.

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

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-C 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.

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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.

Condition
Some owners may comment on a rough running condition or a Service Engine Soon (SES) light
being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find a DTC code P0300 or P0335.
Cause
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
Correction
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in
the Engine Controls-4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the
end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the
reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment
concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing mis-alignments, replace the cover. If
replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then
the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the
concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the
casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.

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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.

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.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the
ignition timing advance for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from
potentially damaging levels of detonation. The sensors in the KS system are used by the PCM as
microphones to listen for abnormal engine noise that may indicate pre-ignition/detonation.
SENSOR DESCRIPTION
There are 2 types of KS currently being used: The broadband single wire sensor
- The flat response 2-wire sensor
Both sensors use piezo-electric crystal technology to produce and send signals to the PCM. The
amplitude and frequency of this signal will vary constantly depending on the vibration level within
the engine. Flat response and broadband KS signals are processed differently by the PCM. The
major differences are outlined below: All broadband sensors use a single wire circuit. Some types of controllers will output a bias voltage
on the KS signal wire. The bias voltage creates a voltage drop the PCM monitors and uses to help
diagnose KS faults. The KS noise signal rides along this bias voltage, and due to the constantly
fluctuating frequency and amplitude of the signal, will always be outside the bias voltage
parameters. Another way to use the KS signals is for the PCM to learn the average normal noise
output from the KS. The PCM uses this noise channel, and KS signal that rides along the noise
channel, in much the same way as the bias voltage type does. Both systems will constantly monitor
the KS system for a signal that is not present or falls within the noise channel.
- The flat response KS uses a 2-wire circuit. The KS signal rides within a noise channel which is
learned and output by the PCM. This noise channel is based upon the normal noise input from the
KS and is known as background noise. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper
and lower parameters will change to accommodate the KS signal, keeping the signal within the
channel. If there is knock, the signal will range outside the noise channel and the PCM will reduce
spark advance until the knock is reduced. These sensors are monitored in much the same way as
the broadband sensors, except that an abnormal signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will
not be present.
KS diagnostics can be calibrated to detect faults with the KS diagnostic inside the PCM, the KS
wiring, the sensor output, or constant knocking from an outside influence such as a loose or
damaged component. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the PCM uses KS signal
information when the cylinders are near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke.

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.

Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Page 2798
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.
TRIP
A trip is an interval of time during which the diagnostic test runs. A trip may consist of only a key
cycle to power up the PCM, allow the diagnostic to run, then cycle the key off to power down the
PCM. A trip may also involve a PCM power up, meeting specific conditions to run the diagnostic
test, then powering down the PCM. The definition of a trip depends upon the diagnostic. Some
diagnostic tests run only once per trip (i.e., catalyst monitor) while other tests run continuously
during each trip (i.e. misfire).
WARM-UP CYCLE
The PCM uses warm-up cycles to run some diagnostics and to clear any diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs). A warm-up cycle occurs when the engine coolant temperature increases 22°C (40°F) from
the start-up temperature. The engine coolant must also achieve a minimum temperature of 71°C
(160 °F). The PCM counts the number of warm-up cycles in order to clear the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL). The PCM will clear the DTCs when 40 consecutive warm-up cycles occur without a
malfunction.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
The PCM is programmed with test routines that test the operation of the various systems the PCM
controls. Some tests monitor internal PCM functions. Many tests are run continuously. Other tests
run only under specific conditions, referred to as Conditions for Running the DTC. When the
vehicle is operating within the conditions for running a particular test, the PCM monitors certain
parameters and determines if the values are within an expected range. The parameters and values
considered outside the range of normal operation are listed as Conditions for Setting the DTC.
When the Conditions for Setting the DTC occur, the PCM executes the Action Taken When the
DTC Sets. Some DTCs alert the driver via the MIL or a message. Other DTCs do not trigger a
driver warning, but are stored in memory. The PCM also saves data and input parameters when
most DTCs are set. This data is stored in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records.
The DTCs are categorized by type. The DTC type is determined by the MIL operation and the
manner in which the fault data is stored when a particular DTC fails. In some cases there may be
exceptions to this structure. Therefore, when diagnosing the system it is important to read the
Action Taken When the DTC Sets and the Conditions for Clearing the DTC in the supporting text.
There are different types of DTCs and different actions taken when the DTCs set. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for a description of the general characteristics of
each DTC type. See: Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
DTC STATUS
When the scan tool displays a DTC, the status of the DTC is also displayed. The following DTC
statuses are indicated only when they apply to the DTC that is set.
Fail This Ign. (Fail This Ignition): Indicates that this DTC failed during the present ignition cycle.
Last Test Fail: Indicates that this DTC failed the last time the test ran. The last test may have run
during a previous ignition cycle if an A or B type DTC is displayed. For type C DTCs, the last failure

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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-C 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.

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-C 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-C 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.
Page 7087
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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.

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-C 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.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CKP sensor is a three wire sensor based on the magneto resistive principle. A magneto
resistive sensor uses two magnetic pickups between a permanent magnet. As an element such as
a reluctor wheel passes the magnets the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the
sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The PCM supplies a 12-volt, low reference,
and signal circuit to the CKP sensor. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF pulse 3 times per
crankshaft revolution for the V6 engine, 4 times for the V8 engine. The CKP sensor reads the
crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel to identify pairs of cylinders at Top Dead Center (TDC).

This bulletin is being revised to delete a model and add information to subject and inspection of
distributor vent screens. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-06-04-041 (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on poor engine performance and the Service Engine Soon/Check
Engine light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0300 set.
Cause
This condition may be due to high levels of internal corrosion in the distributor, causing misfire,
rough idle, stall and Engine Cranks But Does Not Run. This corrosion is attributed to a lack of
airflow internal to the cap caused by the vent screens being clogged with debris.
Correction
Remove the vent screens and inspect the internal components of the Distributor Ignition System
using the procedure listed below. If the distributor base has to be replaced, the vent screens will
also have to be removed on the new distributor. If there is evidence of this internal corrosion,
replace the affected component. Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Engine Controls
sub-section of the applicable Service Manual.
Important:
All of these inspections can be done on-vehicle.
1. Inspect the distributor cap. You may notice a white residue on the cap walls. For higher mileage
occurrences, the interior of the cap may have changed to medium brown in color
2. Inspect the distributor rotor. You may notice the presence of black streaks on the plastic surface.
More typical evidence would be visible green spots on the copper surface of the rotor segment.
3. Inspect the distributor base. You may notice high levels of surface rust on the distributor shaft or
surface contamination on the sensor hold down screws.

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

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Vehicle/Powertrain Control Module & the BCM
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.

Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis Step 1 - 8
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(s) 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 replacing the
drive belt(s), completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the drive belt(s) is
installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the load on the
different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the
rumbling noise.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) 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(s) is causing the rumbling noise.
Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the
similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive
belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may
overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspecting the drive belt(s) is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the
ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt
separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt
our felt as a lump in the belt.
5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive
belt does not have a smooth surface for proper
operation.

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

MT1) or 4L85-E Automatic Transmission (RPO MN8)
Condition
Some customers may comment that the SES light is on. Some may comment that the vehicle will
not start. Others may comment that the gear range indicator always reads "2" or "D2" regardless of
the actual gear the transmission is in.
Cause
The original PCM diagnostic for DTC P0706 defaults the transmission position to Drive Range "2"
when P0706 is set relating to the transmission range select circuit.
Correction
Follow the diagnostic tips and service procedure below to correct this condition.
Diagnostic Tips
^ When DTC P0706 sets, the vehicle will not start.
^ For additional information on DTC P0706, refer to SI Document.
^ Check for proper operation and adjustment of the Park Neutral Position (PNP) switch. Refer to
Park/Neutral Position Switch Adjustment.
^ Check for proper operation and adjustment of the Range Selector Cable. Refer to Automatic
Transmission Range Selector Cable Adjustment.
^ Check for proper electrical connections and terminal integrity.
^ Inspect ground G103.
^ Check to determine if the PCM calibration has been previously updated to a calibration to include
the update for throttle body coking. If the PCM currently has this coking calibration, it is not
necessary to reprogram the PCM again.
Repair Procedure
1. Diagnose and repair the cause of P0706.

Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis Step 1 - 12
Diagnostic Aids If the drive belt(s) repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley
misalignment. An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component
may cause the drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate
properly. If the drive belt(s) is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper
tension on the drive belt.
Test Description The number(s) refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table. 2. This
inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when
the drive belt fell off. The drive belt
may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears,
sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the
pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked may will let the drive belt fall off. 7.
Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed. Missing, loose, or the wrong
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of
the fasteners may cause misalignment of the accessory component bracket.

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

1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently
push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3).
IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large
enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large
enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
TERMINAL REPAIR
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment,
apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.

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-C 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-C 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.

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

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged

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 manual. 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.

Air Bag Control 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 turns
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 command 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.

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.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will
display as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON:
The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required.
The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
- The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to
ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
- The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
- The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an
emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test
Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
- The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic
converter.
- When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the
ignition is ON.
- When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
is cycled OFF and then ON.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (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.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The CKP sensor is a three wire sensor based on the magneto resistive principle. A magneto
resistive sensor uses two magnetic pickups between a permanent magnet. As an element such as
a reluctor wheel passes the magnets the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the
sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The PCM supplies a 12-volt, low reference,
and signal circuit to the CKP sensor. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF pulse 3 times per
crankshaft revolution for the V6 engine, 4 times for the V8 engine. The CKP sensor reads the
crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel to identify pairs of cylinders at Top Dead Center (TDC).

METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material.
A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use
a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM
Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while
retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class
identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from
grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the
strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For
example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with
a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available
through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following
are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1

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.

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

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
1. Ensure that the vehicle batteries are in good condition, and fully charged. 2. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. 3. Disconnect the positive ignition coil wire plug
from the ignition coil. 4. Disconnect the fuel injector electrical connector. 5. Remove all of the spark
plugs.
Notice: Do not insert objects into the throttle plate opening. Damage to the throttle body can result,
requiring replacement of the throttle body assembly.
6. Block the throttle linkage wide open. 7. Install the engine cylinder compression gage to the
cylinder being tested. 8. Using the vehicle starter motor, rotate, or crank the engine for 4
compression strokes, or puffs, for the cylinder being tested. If the engine rotates
for more than 4 compression strokes, test the cylinder again.
9. Record the compression reading.
10. Remove the engine cylinder compression gage from the cylinder being tested. 11. Repeat
steps 8 - 11 for each additional cylinder. All cylinders must be tested to obtain valid test results. 12.
If any cylinders have low compression, inject approximately 15 ml (1 oz) of engine oil into the
cylinder through the spark plug hole. 13. Repeat steps 8 - 11 for all low compression cylinders. 14.
The minimum compression in any one cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690
kpa (100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any one cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the
lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). Multiply the highest
cylinder pressure by 70 percent, 1035 kPa x 70 percent = 725 kPa (150 psi x 70 percent = 105 psi),
in order to determine the lowest allowable pressure in any other cylinder. ^
Normal The compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression.
^ Piston rings leaking Compression is low on the first compression stroke. The compression builds
up on the following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when
you add oil.
^ Valves leaking Compression is low on the first compression stroke. The compression does not
build up on the following strokes, and does not reach normal. Compression does not improve
much, if at all, when you add oil.
^ Head gasket leaking Compression is low on the first stroke. The compression does not build up
on the following strokes, and does not reach normal. Compression does not improve much, if at all,
when you add oil. Adjacent cylinders have the same, or similar, low compression readings.
15. If one or more cylinders fails to meet the minimum specified compression, repair or replace all
damaged or worn components and test the engine
again.

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.

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.

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

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-C. 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: 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-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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-C 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.

necessary. 8. Install the spare tire, if necessary. 9. Install the EVAP canister (2-door utilities only), if
necessary.
10. Install the fuel tank (2-door utilities only). 11. Lower the vehicle.
Page 9372
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 manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 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.
