Subject: Intermittent No Crank/No Start, No Module Communication, MIL, Warning Lights, Vehicle
Messages or DTCs Set by Various Control Modules - Diagnosing and Repairing Fretting Corrosion
(Disconnect Affected Connector and Apply Dielectric Lubricant)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
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 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).

Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to replace the brake apply sensor (BAS) on certain 2011
model year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. These vehicles
may have been built with a BAS that may not function properly, indicated by the illumination of the
malfunction indicator lamp.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in
dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin
Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to the
GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Customer vehicles that return for
service, for any reason, and are still covered under the vehicle's base warranty, and are within the
VIN breakpoints provided below, should be checked for vehicle eligibility.
Parts Information
Parts required to complete this service update are to be obtained from General Motors Customer
Care and Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" before ordering
parts. Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency
situation, parts should be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.
PN 22769186, sensor, will not be eligible for RIM.
Service Procedure

Note Do not apply the brake pedal during the brake pedal position (BPP) sensor calibration
procedure. Any movement of the brake pedal during this procedure will cause the calibration
procedure to fail. If this occurs, the sensor calibration must be repeated. Brake pedal position
(BPP) sensor calibration must be performed after the BAS switch or body control module (BCM)
have been serviced. The calibration procedure will set the sensor home value. This value is used
by the BCM to determine the action of the driver applying the brake system and to provide this
information to the vehicle subsystems via serial data.
1. Apply and slowly release the brake pedal two times. 2. Apply the parking brake. 3. Place the
transmission gear selector in the "P" PARK position. 4. Connect MDI and GDS.

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

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.

Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009
HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 Equipped with V8 Gas Powered Engines Only
Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

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

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.

General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The engine control module (ECM) interacts with many emission related components and systems,
and monitors the emission related components and systems for deterioration. OBD II diagnostics
monitor the system performance and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets if the system
performance degrades.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation and the DTC storage are dictated by the DTC type.
A DTC is ranked as a type A or type B if the DTC is emissions related. Type C is a non emissions
related DTC.
The ECM is located in the engine compartment. The ECM is the control center of the engine
controls system. The ECM controls the following components:
* The fuel injection system
* The ignition system
* The emission control systems
* The on-board diagnostics
* The A/C and fan systems
* The throttle body motor system
The ECM constantly monitors the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls
the systems that affect the vehicle performance and the emissions. The ECM also performs
diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The ECM can recognize operational conditions and
alert the driver via the MIL. When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a DTC. The
condition area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. This helps the technician in making
repairs.
ECM Function
The engine control module (ECM) can supply 5 V or 12 V to the various sensors or switches. This
is done through pull-up resistors to the regulated power supplies within the ECM. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading because the resistance is too
low. Therefore, a DMM with at least 10 Mohm input impedance is required in order to ensure
accurate voltage readings.
The ECM controls the output circuits by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit through the
transistors or a device called an output driver module.
EEPROM
The programmable read only memory (EEPROM), which can be erased electronically, is a
permanent memory that is physically part of the engine control module (ECM). The EEPROM
contains program and calibration information that the ECM needs in order to control the powertrain
operation.
Special equipment, as well as the correct program and calibration for the vehicle, are required in
order to reprogram the ECM.
ECM Default Actions
When a malfunction occurs within the engine control system, the engine control module (ECM)
maintains control of the system with default actions. Default actions are calculated values, and/or
calibrated default values, that are stored within the ECM. A certain level of engine performance is
possible when a malfunction occurs dependant on the default actions taken. The ECM default
actions prevent a complete loss of engine performance.
ECM Output Controls
The scan tool can control certain solenoids, valves, motors, and relays. The output controls can be
found under the special functions selection of the scan tool. Some output controls may be disabled
by the engine control module (ECM) during certain types of vehicle operation.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a 16-pin connector that provides the technician with a means of
accessing serial data for aid in the diagnosis. This connector allows the technician to use a scan
tool in order to monitor the various serial data parameters, and display the DTC information. The
DLC is located inside the drivers compartment, underneath the dash.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel cluster, or the driver
information center. The MIL is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and illuminates when
the ECM detects a condition that affects the vehicle emissions.
ECM Service Precautions

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Page 261
The engine control module (ECM), by design, can withstand the normal current draws that are
associated with the vehicle operations. However, care must be taken in order to avoid overloading
any of these circuits. When testing for opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the
ECM circuits unless the diagnostic procedure instructs you to do so. These circuits should only be
tested with a DMM.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment
Caution: Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on
vacuum equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
Caution: Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at
the battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Aftermarket, add-on, electrical and vacuum equipment is defined as any equipment installed on a
vehicle after leaving the factory that connects to the vehicles electrical or vacuum systems. No
allowances have been made in the vehicle design for this type of equipment.
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system, such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing
any powertrain condition is to make sure all of the after-market electrical equipment is removed or
disconnected from the vehicle. After this has been done and if the condition still exists, the
condition may be diagnosed in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Note: In order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the ECM, do not touch the
connector pins on the ECM.
The electronic components that are used in the control systems are often designed to carry very
low voltage. The electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic
discharge. Less than 100 V of static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components.
By comparison, it takes as much as 4 000 V for a person to even feel the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and by induction. An example of charging by friction is a person sliding
across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore, it is important to exercise great care when handling and testing electronic components.
Emission Control Information Label
The underhood vehicle emissions control information label contains important emission
specifications and setting procedures. This identifies the year, the manufacturing division of the
engine, the displacement of the engine in liters, the class of the vehicle, and type of fuel metering
system. There is also an illustrated emission components and vacuum hose schematic.
This label is located in the engine compartment of every General Motors vehicle. If the label has
been removed, it can be ordered from GM service parts operations (GMSPO).
Underhood Inspection
Note: This inspection is very important and must be done carefully and thoroughly.
Perform a careful underhood inspection when performing any diagnostic procedure or diagnosing
the cause of an emission test failure. This can often lead to repairing a condition without further
steps. Use the following guidelines when performing an inspection:
* Inspect all of the vacuum hoses for correct routing, pinches, cuts, or disconnects.
* Inspect any hoses that are difficult to see.
* Inspect all of the wires in the engine compartment for the following conditions:
- Burned or chafed spots
- Pinched wires
- Contact with sharp edges
- Contact with hot exhaust manifolds
Basic Knowledge Required
Caution: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain when performing diagnostic procedures could
result in incorrect diagnostic performance or damage to powertrain components. Do not attempt to
diagnose a powertrain problem without this basic knowledge.

Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions )provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay, is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) depending upon input from
the ignition switch. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the relay coil and switch. When the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the ECM will provide ground on the control circuit of the
relay using a low side driver. This will allow voltage through the relay switch contacts to the
components. The ECM monitors the voltage level on the control circuit of the relay.
Diagnostic Aids
The relay electrical contacts may be pitted or sticking. Replace the powertrain relay , if gently
tapping or wiggling the powertrain relay causes a change in the relays operation.

mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

SERVICE UPDATE
Bulletin No.: 10399A
Date: December 02, 2010
Subject: 10399A - Service Update for Inventory and Customer Vehicles - Powertrain Improvements
- Thermostat Sticks in Open Position and Shift Quality - Expires with Base Warranty
Models:
2011 Chevrolet Cruze Equipped with a 1.4L Turbo Engine (LUJ)
Supercede: The Subject and Purpose in this bulletin are being revised to advise that the new ECM
calibration will also address shift quality issues.Please discard all copies of bulletin 10399, issued
November 2010.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the
dealership for any reason. It will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to reprogram the engine control module (ECM) on
certain 2011 model year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with a 1.4L turbo engine (LUJ). These
vehicles may have a condition where the thermostat sticks in the open position. If this occurs,
diagnostic codes will be set and the Service Vehicle Soon light/message will illuminate.
These vehicles may also have transmission shift quality issues due to calibration values.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in
dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
All involved vehicles are identified by VIN in the Global Warranty Management System - Investigate
Vehicle History (GMVIS2) Application. Dealership technicians should always check this site to
confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is
important to routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be
involved regardless of description or option content.
Additionally, a list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service
Update Bulletin Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to
the GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Customer vehicles that return
for service, for any reason, and are still covered under the vehicle's base warranty should also be
checked for vehicle eligibility.
Parts Information
No parts are required for this update.
Service Procedure
Do not attempt to order the calibration number from GM Customer Care and Aftersales. The
calibration numbers required for this service procedure are programmed into control modules via a
Multiple Diagnostic Interface (MDI) or Tech 2(R) and TIS2WEB with the calibration update. When
using a MDI or Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version. Use TIS2WEB on or after 11/29/10 to obtain the calibration. If you cannot access the
calibration, call the Techline Customer Support Center and it will be provided.
For step-by-step programming instructions, please refer to SI and the Techline Information System
(TIS) terminal.
1. Verify that there is a battery charge of 12 to 15 volts. The battery must be able to maintain a
charge during programming. Only use an approved
Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming Support Tool EL-49642) or
equivalent to maintain proper battery voltage during programming.
2. Reprogram the engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM) in
sequence. Refer to SI and Service Programming System
(SPS) documentation for programming instructions, if required.
1. Connect the MDI or Tech 2(R) to the vehicle. If using MDI, connect to programming terminal with
the cable (USB or LAN). 2. Select J-2534 MDI or J-2534 Tech 2(R) and Reprogram ECU from the
Select Diagnostic Tool and Programming Process screen.

Calibration Criteria
Note: Do not apply the brake pedal during the brake pedal position sensor calibration procedure.
Any movement of the brake pedal during this procedure will cause the calibration procedure to fail.
If this occurs, the brake pedal position sensor calibration must be repeated.
Brake pedal position sensor calibration must be performed after the brake pedal position sensor or
body control module (BCM) have been serviced. The calibration procedure will set the brake pedal
position sensor home value. This value is used by the BCM to determine the action of the driver
applying the brake system and to provide this information to the vehicle subsystems via serial data.
Calibration Procedure
1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Place the transmission in the PARK position. 3. Install a scan tool. 4.
Navigate to the Module Diagnosis menu. 5. Clear all BCM DTCs before proceeding. 6. Navigate to
the Configuration/Reset Functions menu of the BCM. 7. Select Brake Pedal Position Sensor Learn.
8. Select the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Learn procedure and follow the directions displayed on
the screen.

SERVICE UPDATE
Bulletin No.: 11008A
Date: February 01, 2011
Subject: 11008A - Service Update for Inventory and Customer Vehicles - Transmission Fluid
Overfill - Drain Excess Fluid - Expires with Base Warranty
Models:
2011 Chevrolet Cruze Equipped with Manual Transmission (MF3/MZ0)
Supercede: The illustration for Step 9 in the Service Procedure has been revised to eliminate
confusion on the amount of fluid to remove. Technicians are to remove 0.4L of transmission fluid
after allowing the fluid to drain completely from the plug hole. Please discard all copies of bulletin
11008, issued January 2011.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the
dealership for any reason. It will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to drain excess transmission fluid on certain 2011 model
year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles with manual transmissions (MF3/MZ0). These vehicles may have
received more than the required amount of transmission fluid, which could result in a hard shift and
reduced fuel economy.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in
dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin
Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to the
GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Dealers are to confirm vehicle
eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required Field Actions section in the Global
Warranty system. Not all vehicles may be involved.
Parts Information
PN 55563377, plug, has been temporarily excluded from RIM. A sufficient number of plugs are
being pre-shipped to involved dealers beginning January 21, 2011. The pre-shipped parts can be
identified with control "Cruze-Recall", and will be shipped from Lansing, MI via Overnight Delivery.
After you have received your preshipment of plugs, if you should still need additional parts, you can
order them from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Normal orders should
be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency situation, parts should be
ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.
Service Procedure
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in SI.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
Note: The crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure is required when the
following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 00 is set:
* Engine replacement
* Engine control module (ECM) replacement
* Crankshaft damper replacement
* Crankshaft replacement
* Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement
* Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
Note: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to
continue with the crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure. The scan tool only
displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
* Crankshaft Position Sensor activity - If there is a crankshaft position sensor condition, refer to the
applicable DTC that set.
* Camshaft position signal activity - If there is a camshaft position sensor signal condition, refer to
the applicable DTC that set.
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) - If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle
the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P0315 00, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
(See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC
that set.
3. With a scan tool, select the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure and perform
the following:
1. Observe the fuel cut-off for the applicable engine. 2. Block the drive wheels. 3. Set the parking
brake. 4. Place the vehicles transmission in Park or Neutral. 5. Turn the air conditioning (A/C) OFF.
6. Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON. 7. Apply and hold the brake pedal for the duration of the
procedure. 8. Start and idle the engine. 9. Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine
should not accelerate beyond the calibrated fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
10. Release the throttle when fuel cut-off occurs.
‹› Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine should not accelerate beyond the calibrated
fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
4. The scan tool displays Learn Status: Learned this Ignition. If the scan tool indicates that DTC
P0315 00 ran and passed, the crankshaft position
sensor variation learn procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC P0315 00 failed or did
not run, refer to DTC P0315 (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/P
Code Charts/P0315). If any other DTCs set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
(See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC
that set.
5. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 s after the learn procedure is completed successfully.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor System Description
Circuit/System Description
The knock sensor system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing
for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of
detonation. The ECM uses the knock sensor system to test for abnormal engine noise that may
indicate detonation, also known as spark knock.
Sensor Description
This knock sensor system uses one or two flat response dual-wire sensors. The sensor uses
piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an alternating current (AC) voltage signal of varying
amplitude and frequency based on the engine vibration or noise level. The amplitude and
frequency are dependant upon the level of knock that the knock sensor detects. The ECM receives
the knock sensor signal through 2 isolated signal circuits.
If the ECM has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to
reduce the knock. The ECM is capable of controlling spark retard on an individual cylinder basis.
The ECM will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. knock
sensor diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the knock sensor circuitry inside the ECM,
the knock sensor wiring, or the knock sensor voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated
to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or
excessive mechanical engine noise.

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

Heated Oxygen Sensor Resistance Learn Reset Caution
Caution: When replacing the HO2S perform the following:
* A code clear with a scan tool, regardless of whether or not a DTC is set
* HO2S heater resistance learn reset with a scan tool, where available
Perform the above in order to reset the HO2S resistance learned value and avoid possible HO2S
failure.

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

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
Note: The crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure is required when the
following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 00 is set:
* Engine replacement
* Engine control module (ECM) replacement
* Crankshaft damper replacement
* Crankshaft replacement
* Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement
* Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
Note: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to
continue with the crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure. The scan tool only
displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
* Crankshaft Position Sensor activity - If there is a crankshaft position sensor condition, refer to the
applicable DTC that set.
* Camshaft position signal activity - If there is a camshaft position sensor signal condition, refer to
the applicable DTC that set.
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) - If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle
the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P0315 00, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
(See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC
that set.
3. With a scan tool, select the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure and perform
the following:

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor System Description
Circuit/System Description
The knock sensor system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing
for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of
detonation. The ECM uses the knock sensor system to test for abnormal engine noise that may
indicate detonation, also known as spark knock.
Sensor Description
This knock sensor system uses one or two flat response dual-wire sensors. The sensor uses
piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an alternating current (AC) voltage signal of varying
amplitude and frequency based on the engine vibration or noise level. The amplitude and
frequency are dependant upon the level of knock that the knock sensor detects. The ECM receives
the knock sensor signal through 2 isolated signal circuits.
If the ECM has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to
reduce the knock. The ECM is capable of controlling spark retard on an individual cylinder basis.
The ECM will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. knock
sensor diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the knock sensor circuitry inside the ECM,
the knock sensor wiring, or the knock sensor voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated
to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or
excessive mechanical engine noise.

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.

2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H3 2010 and Prior Saturn Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with Wheel-Mounted
Tire Pressure Sensors
In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25
mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON,
indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a
stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been
replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Alignment: Technical Service Bulletins Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications
WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION
Bulletin No.: 05-03-07-009C
Date: December 09, 2010
Subject: Wheel Alignment Specifications, Requirements and Recommendations for GM Vehicles
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being extensively revised to provide technicians and warranty
administrators with an all inclusive guide for wheel alignments. PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT
SERVICE. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-07-009B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Purpose
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide retail, wholesale and fleet personnel with General Motors'
warranty service requirements and recommendations for customer concerns related to wheel
alignment. For your convenience, this bulletin updates and centralizes all of GM's Standard Wheel
Alignment Service Procedures, Policy Guidelines and bulletins on wheel alignment warranty
service.
Important PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING
YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT SERVICE.
The following five (5) key steps are a summary of this bulletin and are REQUIRED in completing a
successful wheel alignment service.
1. Verify the vehicle is in an Original Equipment condition for curb weight, tires, wheels, suspension
and steering configurations. Vehicles
modified in any of these areas are not covered for wheel alignment warranty.
2. Review the customer concern relative to "Normal Operation" definitions. 3. Verify that vehicle is
within the "Mileage Policy" range. 4. Document wheel alignment warranty claims appropriately for
labor operations E2000 and E2020.
The following information must be documented or attached to the repair order:
- Customer concern in detail
- What corrected the customer concern?
- If a wheel alignment is performed:
- Consult SI for proper specifications.
- Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings.
- Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin)
5. Use the proper wheel alignment equipment (preferred with print-out capability), process and the
appropriate calibration maintenance schedules.
Important If it is determined that a wheel alignment is necessary under warranty, use the proper
labor code for the repair. E2000 for Steering Wheel Angle and/or Front Toe set or E2020 for Wheel
Alignment Check/Adjust includes Caster, Camber and Toe set (Wheel alignment labor time for
other component repairs is to be charged to the component that causes a wheel alignment
operation.).
The following flowchart is to help summarize the information detailed in this bulletin and should be
used whenever a wheel alignment is performed.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 914
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.

Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 915
Figure 1: Full Tread View - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear on the Shoulder/Adjacent/Center

Figure 3: Tire Shoulder View Example 2 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Figure 4: Detail Side View of Tire Shoulder Area - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Important When a wheel alignment is deemed necessary for tire wear, be sure to document on the
repair order, in as much detail as possible, the severity and type of tire wear (e.g., severe center
wear or severe inside or outside shoulder wear) and the position of the tire on the vehicle (RF, LF,
LR, RR). Please note the customer's concern with the wear such as, noise, appearance, wear life,
etc. A field product report with pictures of the tire wear condition is recommended. Refer to
Corporate Bulletin Number 02-00-89-002J and #07-00-89-036C.
4. Other repairs that affect wheel alignment; e.g., certain component replacement such as
suspension control arm replacement, engine cradle
adjustment/replace, steering gear replacement, steering tie rod replace, suspension strut/shock,
steering knuckle, etc. may require a wheel alignment.
Important If other components or repairs are identified as affecting the wheel alignment, policy calls
for the wheel alignment labor time to be charged to the replaced/repaired component's labor
operation time rather than the wheel alignment labor operations.
Important Vibration type customer concerns are generally NOT due to wheel alignment except in
the rare cases; e.g., extreme diagonal wear across the tread. In general, wheel alignments are
NOT to be performed as an investigation/correction for vibration concerns.
"Normal Operation" Conditions
Vehicle Lead/Pull Due to Road Crown or Slope:
As part of "Normal Operation," vehicles will follow side-to-side or left to right road crown or slope.
Be sure to verify from the customer the types of roads they are driving as they may not recognize
the influence of road crown on vehicle lead/pull and steering wheel angle. If a vehicle requires
significant steering effort to prevent it from "climbing" the road crown there may be an issue to be
looked into further.
Important
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 916
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
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 917
available, measurements may also be clearly and legibly handwritten into the Wheel Alignment
Repair Order Questionnaire attached to this bulletin.
4. Attach the Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire below along with the print-out of
"Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements to
the Repair Order and retain for use by GM.
Wheel Alignment Equipment and Process
Wheel alignments must be performed with a quality machine that will give accurate results when
performing checks. "External Reference" (image-based camera technology) is preferred. Please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-00-89-029B: General Motors Dealership Critical Equipment
Requirements and Recommendations.
Requirements:
- Computerized four wheel alignment system.
- Computer capable of printing before and after alignment reports.
- Computer capable of time and date stamp printout.
- Racking system must have jacking capability
- Racking system must be capable of level to 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
- Appropriate wheel stops and safety certification
- Built-in turn plates and slip plates
- Wheel clamps capable of attaching to 20" or larger wheels
- Racking capable of accepting any GM passenger car or light duty truck
- Operator properly trained and ASE-certified (U.S. only) in wheel alignment
Recommendations:
Racking should have front and rear jacking capability.
Equipment Maintenance and Calibration:
Alignment machines must be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information. Most
manufacturers recommend the following:
- Alignment machines with "internal reference" sensors should be checked (and calibrated, if
necessary) every six months.
- Alignment machines with "external reference" (image-based camera technology) should be
checked (and calibrated, if necessary) once a year.
- Racks must be kept level to within 1.6 mm (1/16 in).
- If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged in some way,
check the calibration immediately.
Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration
schedule.
Wheel Alignment Process
When performing wheel alignment measurement and/or adjustment, the following steps should be
taken:
Preliminary Steps:
1. Verify that the vehicle has a full tank of fuel (compensate as necessary). 2. Inspect the wheels
and the tires for damage. 3. Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. 4.
Inspect the wheel bearings for excessive play. 5. Inspect all suspension and steering parts for
looseness, wear, or damage. 6. Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to
stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. 7. Inspect the vehicle trim height. 8. Compensate
for frame angle on targeted vehicles (refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI).
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment angles. However, if the
wheel alignment angles are not within the range of specifications, adjust the wheel alignment to the
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI. Give consideration to excess loads,
such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. Follow the wheel alignment equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
Measure/Adjust:
Important Prior to making any adjustments to wheel alignment on a vehicle, technicians must verify
that the wheel alignment specifications loaded into their wheel alignment machine are up-to-date
by comparing these to the wheel alignment specifications for the appropriate model and model year
in SI. Using incorrect and/or outdated specifications may result in unnecessary adjustments,
irregular and/or premature tire wear and repeat customer concerns
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 918
Important When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear
wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front wheel alignment angles.
Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles:
1. Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front
and the rear bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment
angles and record the readings.
If necessary, adjust the wheel alignment to vehicle specification and record the before and after
measurements. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI.
Important Technicians must refer to SI for the correct wheel alignment specifications. SI is the only
source of GM wheel alignment specifications that is kept up-to-date throughout the year.
Test drive vehicle to ensure proper repair.

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 (-). 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.

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.

Alignment: Description and Operation Thrust Angles Description
Thrust Angles Description
The front wheels aim or steer the vehicle. The rear wheels control tracking. This tracking action
relates to the thrust angle (3). The thrust angle is the path that the rear wheels take. Ideally, the
thrust angle is geometrically aligned with the body centerline (2).
In the illustration, toe-in is shown on the left rear wheel, moving the thrust line (1) off center. The
resulting deviation from the centerline is the thrust angle.
If the thrust angle is not set properly the vehicle may "dog track", the steering wheel may not be
centered or it could be perceived as a bent axle. Thrust angle can be checked during a wheel
alignment.
Positive thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the right hand side (RHS) of the vehicle.
Negative thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the left hand side (LHS) of the vehicle.
If the thrust angle is out of specification, moving the axle to body relationship will change the thrust
angle reading.
If the vehicle is out in the Positive (+) direction-moving the RHS forward and/or LHS rearward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.
If the vehicle is out in the Negative (-) direction-moving the RHS rearward and/or LHS forward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.

Alignment: Description and Operation Lead/Pull Description
Lead/Pull Description
At a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at
the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight path.
Note: Vehicles will tend to lead/pull in the direction of the road slope as part of normal operation.
Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors:
* Road slope
* Variability in tire construction
* Wheel alignment (front cross caster and camber)
* Unbalanced steering gear
* Electronic power steering (EPS) steering position and torque sensors not calibrated correctly, if
equipped

Torque Steer Description
Torque Steer Description
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Description and Operation > Camber
Description > Page 931
A vehicle pulls or leads in one direction during hard acceleration. A vehicle pulls or leads in the
other direction during deceleration.
The following factors may cause torque steer to be more apparent on a particular vehicle:
* A slightly smaller diameter tire on the right front increases a right torque lead. Inspect the front
tires for differences in the brand, the construction, or the size. If the tires appear to be similar,
change the front tires from side-to-side and retest the vehicle. Tire and wheel assemblies have the
most significant effect on torque steer correction.
* A large difference in the right and left front tire pressure
* Left-to-right differences in the front view axle angle may cause significant steering pull in a
vehicle. The pull will be to the side with the most downward sloping axle from the differential to the
wheels. Axles typically slope downward from the differential. The slope of the transaxle pan to level
ground may be used as an indication of bias axle angles. The side with the higher transaxle pan
(shown on the left side of the illustration) has the most downward sloping axle angle.
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.
Wander Description
Wander Description
Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external
disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause
the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius.
A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive
vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub
radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected
geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension.

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

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

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.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark Plug > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 977
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. Refer to
Ignition System Specifications (See: Application and ID). An excessively wide electrode gap can
prevent correct spark plug operation.
* Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Application
and ID). 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.
5. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. 6. A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark
intensity.
* Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
* Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped.
* Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
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
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
* Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit Fouling-Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark intensity. Most powdery deposits will not effect spark intensity unless
they form into a glazing over the electrode.

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

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the engine
operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to 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.
The drive belt may have a rumbling condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the
drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the
drive belts are installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the
load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is
causing the rumbling noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This test is to verify that
the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may cause a similar
symptom. 3. This test is to verify that one of the drive belts is causing the rumbling noise or
vibration. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the
description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When
removing the drive belts the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also
DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belts removed. 4. Inspecting the drive
belts is to ensure that they are not causing the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt
will not cause the noise. Belt separation can be recognized at the edge of the belt or felt as a lump
in the belt. 5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is
severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper operation. 9. Inspecting of the
fasteners can eliminate the possibility that the wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 11.
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 smooth operation and
excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known good water pump. 12. Accessory drive
component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put extra strain on that accessory
component causing it to vibrate.

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

Coolant: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE COOLANT
The cooling system in the vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in the vehicle for five years or 240 000 km (150,000 miles), whichever occurs first.
The following explains the cooling system and how to check and add coolant when it is low.
CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some
other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your
engine could get too hot but you would not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL
coolant.
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant. If using this mixture,
nothing else needs to be added. This mixture: Gives freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Gives boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). Protects against rust and corrosion. Will not damage
aluminum parts. Helps keep the proper engine temperature.
NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly
damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture
can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
NOTICE: If extra inhibitors and/or additives are used in the vehicle's cooling system, the vehicle
could be damaged. Use only the proper mixture of the engine coolant listed for the cooling system.
Never dispose of engine coolant by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, or into sewers,
streams, or bodies of water. Have the coolant changed by an authorized service center, familiar
with legal requirements regarding used coolant disposal. This will help protect the environment and
your health.

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.

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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Engine Oil > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Engine - GM dexos 1 and dexos 2(R) Oil Specifications > Page 1101
- 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.

GM dexos 2(TM) Engine Oil Specification
- dexos 2(TM) is approved and recommended by GM for use in Europe starting in model year 2010
vehicles, regardless of where the vehicle was manufactured.
- dexos 2(TM) is the recommended service fill oil for European gasoline engines.
Important The Duramax(TM) diesel engine is the exception and requires lubricants meeting
specification CJ-4.
- dexos 2(TM) is the recommended service fill oil for European light-duty diesel engines and
replaces GM-LL-B-025 and GM-LL-A-025.
- dexos 2(TM) protects diesel engines from harmful soot deposits and is designed with limits on
certain chemical components to prolong catalyst life and protect expensive emission reduction
systems. It is a robust oil, resisting degradation between oil changes and maintaining optimum
performance longer.

Engine Oil: Fluid Type Specifications
Selecting the Right Engine Oil
Selecting the right engine oil depends on both the proper oil specification and viscosity grade:
Specification
Use and ask for engine oils with the dexosTM certification mark. Oils meeting the requirements of
the vehicle should have the dexos certification mark on the container. This certification mark
indicates that the oil has been approved to the dexos specification.
This vehicle was filled at the factory with dexos-approved engine oil.
Notice: Use only engine oil that is approved to the dexos specification or an equivalent engine oil of
the appropriate viscosity grade. Engine oils approved to the dexos specification will show the dexos
symbol on the container. Failure to use the recommended engine oil or equivalent can result in
engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. If you are unsure whether the oil is approved
to the dexos specification, ask your service provider.
Use of Substitute Engine Oils if dexos is unavailable: In the event that dexos-approved engine oil is
not available at an oil change or for maintaining proper oil level, you may use substitute engine oil
displaying the API Starburst symbol and of SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade. Use of oils that do not
meet the dexos specification, however, may result in reduced performance under certain
circumstances.
Viscosity Grade
SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE
10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50.
Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29°C
(-20°F), an SAE 0W-30 oil should be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold
starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. When selecting an oil of the appropriate
viscosity grade, be sure to always select an oil that meets the required specification, dexos.
"Specification" earlier in this section for more information.
Engine Oil Additives/Engine Oil Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended oils with the dexos specification and displaying
the dexos certification mark are all that is needed for good performance and engine protection.
Engine oil system flushes are not recommended and could cause engine damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be unhealthy for your skin and could even
cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with
soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing
used engine oil. the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil
from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash or pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.

SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer to SIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations).
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose air bags to temperatures above 65°C (149°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 92 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any air bag
* Driver steering wheel air bag coil
* Any impact sensor
* Seat belt anchor and/or retractor pretensioners
* Passenger presence module and/or occupant sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note: The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Restraint Systems/Air Bag
Systems/Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams) or Electrical Center Identification Views (See: Fuses and
Circuit Breakers/Fuse/Application and ID).
4. Wait 1 minute before working on the system.

for Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Message, Light and Customer Information - (Apr 27, 2010)
Subject: Dealership Service Consultant Procedure as Vehicle Comes into Service Drive for Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Message, Light and Customer Information
Models: 2006-2011 Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn and Saab)
2006-2010 HUMMER H2, H3
ATTENTION
The information found in this bulletin is to be used as a dealership service consultant procedures
for customers coming into the service lane with an illuminated "low tire light" or comments on a
check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message.
Maintaining proper tire pressures is an Owner's Maintenance item and is not covered under
warranty.
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update additional bulletin reference
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-03-16-002 (Section 03 -- Suspension).
Customer Concerns and Confusion with the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
The following procedure should be used by dealership service consultants when a customer comes
into the service drive with a "low tire light" on or comments on a check tire pressure/low tire
pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message. The service consultant should
perform the following steps:
Procedure
Turn the key to ON, without starting the engine.
^ If the low tire light comes on and stays on solid with a check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add
air to tire message (on vehicles equipped with DIC),
advise the customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Properly adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels and driving the vehicle will turn
the light off (refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
^ If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light blinks for one minute then stays on solid with a service
tire monitor system message (on vehicles equipped
with DIC):
- A TPM system problem exists. The vehicle should be written up accordingly and sent to your
service department for further DTC diagnosis and service.
- If dashes (--) are displayed in only one or two of the tire pressure readouts, it is likely caused by a
previous TPM system relearn that was performed incorrectly due to interference from another
vehicle's TPM system during the relearn process (refer to the Important statement later in this
bulletin regarding TPM relearn with a Tech 2(R)).
- If dashes (--) are displayed in all four of the tire pressure readouts, there is a system problem.
Follow the appropriate SI service procedures.
^ If a customer indicates the low tire light comes on for a few minutes when the vehicle is started,
then goes off after driving a while, advise the
customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Most likely, air pressure in one or more of the tires is low enough to turn the light on when tires
are cold. After driving for a while, tires will heat

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 1212
up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
For more detailed information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 07-03-16-004C and TPMS
Training Course 13044.12T2.
Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Service Reminder Indicators > Low Tire Pressure Indicator > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 1213
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

Engine Oil LIfe System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is
based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life
system to work properly, the system must be reset every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it indicates that an oil change is
necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON DIC message or Code 82 DIC message comes on.
Engine Oil Messages. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 mi). It is
possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system might indicate that an oil
change is not necessary for up to a year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a
year and, at this time, the system must be reset. It is also important to check the oil regularly over
the course of an oil drain interval and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) since the
last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
Reset the system whenever the engine oil is changed so that the system can calculate the next
engine oil change. To reset the system:
1. Using the DIC MENU button and thumbwheel, scroll until you reach REMAINING OIL LIFE on
the DIC (oil can symbol with % sign for
Canada).
2. Press the SET button to reset the oil life at 100%. When prompted, use the thumbwheel to
highlight YES or NO. Press the SET/CLEAR button to
confirm.
Be careful not to reset the oil life display accidentally at any time other than after the oil is changed.
It cannot be reset accurately.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON DIC message or Code 82 DIC message comes back on when
the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type
message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator
icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared.
To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to
clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn
procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results.
It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a

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

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

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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tire Monitoring System > Low Tire Pressure Indicator >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page
1248
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

GM's Position on the Use of Nitrogen Gas in Tires
General Motors does not oppose the use of purified nitrogen as an inflation gas for tires. We expect
the theoretical benefits to be reduced in practical use due to the lack of an existing infrastructure to
continuously facilitate inflating tires with nearly pure nitrogen. Even occasional inflation with
compressed atmospheric air will negate many of the theoretical benefits. Given those theoretical
benefits, practical limitations, and the robust design of GM original equipment TPC tires, the
realized benefits to our customer of inflating their tires with purified nitrogen are expected to be
minimal.
The Promise of Nitrogen: Under Controlled Conditions
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general consumer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. The following benefits under controlled conditions are attributed to nitrogen gas and its
unique properties:
- A reduction in the expected loss of Tire Pressure over time.
- A reduction in the variance of Tire Pressures with temperature changes due to reduction of water
vapor concentration.
- A reduction of long term rubber degradation due to a decrease in oxygen concentrations.
Important These are obtainable performance improvements when relatively pure nitrogen gas is
used to inflate tires under controlled conditions.
The Promise of Nitrogen: Real World Use
Nitrogen inflation can provide some benefit by reducing gas migration (pressure loss) at the
molecular level through the tire structure. NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
has stated that the inflation pressure loss of tires can be up to 5% a month. Nitrogen molecules are
larger than oxygen molecules and, therefore, are less prone to "seeping" through the tire casing.
The actual obtainable benefits of nitrogen vary, based on the physical construction and the
materials used in the manufacturing of the tire being inflated.
Another potential benefit of nitrogen is the reduced oxidation of tire components. Research has
demonstrated that oxygen consumed in the oxidation process of the tire primarily comes from the
inflation media. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that oxidation of tire components can be
reduced if the tire is inflated with pure nitrogen. However, only very small amounts of oxygen are
required to begin the normal oxidation process. Even slight contamination of the tire inflation gas
with compressed atmospheric air during normal inflation pressure maintenance, may negate the
benefits of using nitrogen.
GM Tire Quality, Technology and Focus of Importance
Since 1972, General Motors has designed tires under the TPC (Tire Performance Criteria)
specification system, which includes specific requirements that ensure robust tire performance
under normal usage. General Motors works with tire suppliers to design and manufacture original
equipment tires for GM vehicles. The GM TPC addresses required performance with respect to
both inflation pressure retention, and endurance properties for original equipment tires. The
inflation pressure retention requirements address availability of oxygen and oxidation concerns,
while endurance requirements ensure the mechanical structure of the tire has sufficient strength.
This combination has provided our customers with tires that maintain their structural integrity
throughout their useful treadlife under normal operating conditions.
Regardless of the inflation media for tires (atmospheric air or nitrogen), inflation pressure
maintenance of tires is critical for overall tire, and ultimately, vehicle performance. Maintaining the
correct inflation pressure allows the tire to perform as intended by the vehicle manufacturer in
many areas, including comfort, fuel economy, stopping distance, cornering, traction, treadwear,
and noise. Since the load carrying capability of a tire is related to inflation pressure, proper inflation
pressure maintenance is necessary for the tire to support the load imposed by the vehicle without
excessive structural

Number 04-03-10-001E (Section 03 - Suspension).
This bulletin covers puncture repair procedures for passenger car and light duty truck radial tires in
the tread area only. The tire manufacturer must be contacted for its individual repair policy and
whether or not the speed rating is retained after repair.
Caution
- Tire changing can be dangerous and should be done by trained professionals using proper tools
and procedures. Always read and understand any manufacturer's warnings contained in their
customers literature or molded into the tire sidewall.
- Serious eye and ear injury may result from not wearing adequate eye and ear protection while
repairing tires.
- NEVER inflate beyond 275 kPa (40 pounds) pressure to seat beads.
Some run flat tires, such as the Goodyear Extended Mobility Tire (EMT) used on the Corvette, may
require more than 275 kPa (40 psi) to seat the bead. In such a case, a tire safety cage must be
used. Consult the tire manufacturer for its individual repair policy.
- NEVER stand, lean or reach over the assembly during inflation.
Repairable area on a radial tire.
Important
- NEVER repair tires worn to the tread indicators 1.59 mm (2/32") remaining depth).
- NEVER repair tires with a tread puncture larger than 6.35 mm (1/4").
- NEVER substitute an inner tube for a permissible or non-permissible repair.
- NEVER perform an outside-in tire repair (plug only, on the wheel).
- Every tire must be removed from the wheel for proper inspection and repair.
- Regardless of the type of repair used, the repair must seal the inner liner and fill the injury.
- Consult with repair material supplier/manufacturer for repair unit application procedures and
repair tools/repair material recommendations.
Three basic steps for tire puncture repair:
1. Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 1276
2. Fill the injury (puncture) to keep moisture out. 3. Seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent
air loss.
External Inspection
1. Prior to demounting, inspect the tire surface, the valve and the wheel for the source of the leak
by using a water and soap solution. Mark the
injured area and totally deflate the tire by removing the valve core.
2. Demount the tire from the wheel and place the tire on a well-lighted spreader.
Internal Inspection
1. Spread the beads and mark the puncture with a tire crayon. 2. Inspect the inner tire for any signs
of internal damage. 3. Remove the puncturing object, noting the direction of the penetration. 4.
Probe the injury with a blunt awl in order to determine the extent and direction of the injury. 5.
Remove any loose foreign material from the injury. 6. Punctures exceeding 6.35 mm (1/4") should
not be repaired.
Cleaning
1. Clean the area around the puncture thoroughly with a proper liner cleaner, clean cloth and a
scraper. This step serves to remove dirt and mold
lubricants to insure proper adhesion and non-contamination of the buffing tool.
2. Refer to information on the product or manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet and follow
guidelines for handling and disposal.

Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 1277
1. Use a proper hand reamer, carbide cutter or drill bit to ream the puncture channel from the inside
of the tire in order to clean the injury. 2. Remove steel wires protruding above the liner surface to
prevent damage to the repair unit. 3. Consult your repair material supplier for recommended
reaming tool(s).
Fill the Injury
1. It is necessary to fill the injury channel to provide back up for the repair unit and to prevent
moisture from entering the tire fabric and steel wires. 2. (For combination repair/plug units skip this
step.) Cement the injured channel and fill the injury from the inside of the tire with the repair plug
per
repair material manufacturer's recommendations. Without stretching the plug, cut the plug off just
above the inside tire surface.
3. Consult your repair material supplier for proper repair material selection.
Repair Unit Selection
Important Do not install the repair unit in this step.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 1278
1. Center the repair unit over the injury as a reference and outline an area larger than the unit so
that buffing will not remove the crayon marks. 2. Remove the repair unit. 3. DO NOT overlap
previous or multiple repair units. 4. Consult your repair material supplier for proper repair unit
selection.
Buffing
1. To prevent contamination and preserve the outline, buff within the marked area thoroughly and
evenly with a low speed buffing tool using a fine
wire brush or gritted rasp.
2. Buff to a smooth velvet surface (RMA #1 or #2 buffed texture). 3. Use caution not to gouge the
inner liner or expose casing fabric. 4. Remove any buffing dust with a vacuum cleaner. 5. Consult
your repair material supplier for a proper buffing tool.
Cementing

Tires: Description and Operation Tire Inflation Description
Tire Inflation Description
This vehicle has been engineered to operate up to the stated load capacity with wheel and tire
assemblies of the type, size, construction, and configuration as originally installed. Maintenance of
the tire inflation pressures is critical to the continued satisfactory performance, handling, and
operating economy of the vehicle. Operation with incorrectly or improperly inflated tires can
adversely affect vehicle performance and may contribute to the following:
* Reduced fuel economy
* Tire overloading
* Shortened tire life
* Excessive tire wear
* Uneven tire wear
* Vehicle handling concerns
Inspect the tire pressures when the vehicle has not been driven for at least 3 hours or not more
than 1.6 km (1 mi) and when the tires are cool to the touch.
Tire inflation pressures should be inspected monthly and before an extended trip and adjusted to
meet the specifications listed for the particular vehicle. Replace any missing or damaged tire valve
stem extensions and/or caps to prevent the intrusion of water and contaminates.
One pound per square inch (psi) equals 6.9 kilopascals (kPa). The following table illustrates the
conversion of kilopascals to pounds per square inch:
For the correct inflation pressures refer to the vehicle's Tire Placard.
Tires inflated to a higher than recommended pressure can contribute to the following conditions:
* A hard ride
* Tire bruising
* Rapid tread wear at the center of the tire
Tires inflated to a lower than recommended pressure can contribute to the following conditions:
* Tire squeal on turns
* Hard steering
* Rapid and/or uneven wear on the outer edges of the tread
* Tire rim bruises and tire rim rupture
* Tire cord breakage
* High tire temperatures
* Sluggish vehicle handling
* Higher fuel consumption
Unequal pressure on the same axle can cause the following conditions:

Tires: Removal and Replacement
Tire Dismounting and Mounting
Caution: Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons
alone in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could
result.
Caution: Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing
equipment. Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear
coating to peel from the wheel.
Caution: Damage to either the tire bead or the wheel mounting holes can result from the use of
improper wheel attachment or tire mounting procedures. It takes up to 70 seconds for all of the air
to completely exhaust from a large tire. Failure to follow the proper procedures could cause the tire
changer to put enough force on the tire to bend the wheel at the mounting surface. Such damage
may result in vibration and/or shimmy, and under severe usage lead to wheel cracking.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem. 2. Deflate the tire completely.
Note: Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel, position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and
270 degrees from the valve stem.
Caution: Failure to position valve stem in proper position while dismounting and mounting the tire
may result in the TPM sensor to become damaged.
5. Position the wheel and tire so the valve stem is at the 7 o'clock position relative to the head. The
tire iron or pry bar can be inserted when prying
the outer tire bead up and over the mounting/dismounting head.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service and Repair >
Procedures > Page 1296
6. Position the wheel and tire so the valve stem is again at the 7 o'clock position relative to the
head. The tire iron or pry bar can be inserted when
prying the inner tire bead up and over the mounting/dismounting head.
7. Remove all residual liquid sealant from the inside of the tire and wheel surfaces. If any tire
sealant is noted upon tire dismounting on vehicles
equipped with TPM, replace the tire pressure sensor. Refer to Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor
Replacement (See: Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires/Tire Pressure Sensor/Service and
Repair).
8. Use a wire brush or coarse steel wool in order to remove any rubber, light rust or corrosion from
the wheel bead seats.
Caution: When mounting the tires, use an approved tire mounting lubricant. DO NOT use silicon or
corrosive base compounds to lubricate the tire bead and the wheel rim. A silicon base compound
can cause the tire to slip on the rim. A corrosive type compound can cause tire or rim deterioration.
9. Apply mounting lubricant to the tire bead and the wheel rim. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids,
Lubricants, and Sealers (See: Specifications/Fluid Type
Specifications/Suspension).
10. Position the rim so the valve stem (1) is at the 7 o'clock position relative to the head (2). This
will protect the sensor when the bottom bead seats.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service and Repair >
Procedures > Page 1297
11. Using the tire machine, rotate the tire/wheel assembly clockwise when transferring the tire bead
to the inside of the wheel rim. Ensure that the
valve stem (1) is at the 7 o'clock position.
12. After the bottom bead is on the wheel, reposition the wheel and tire so that the valve stem (1) is
at the 7 o'clock position relative to the head. This
will protect the sensor while mounting the tire bead to the outside of the wheel.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service and Repair >
Procedures > Page 1298
13. Use the tire changer in order to install the tire to the wheel.
Warning
To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when
the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any
tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, relubricate
the beads and reinflate. Overinflation may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal
injury.
14. Inflate the tire until it passes the bead humps. Be sure that the valve core is not installed at this
time. 15. Install the valve core to the valve core stem. 16. Inflate the tire to the proper air pressure.
17. Ensure that the locating rings are visible on both sides of the tire in order to verify that the tire
bead is fully seated on the wheel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

longer.
Important Whenever a wheel is refinished, the mounting surface and the wheel nut contact
surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these surfaces could affect the wheel nut
torque.
When re-mounting a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in order to
reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.

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

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 00-03-10-006F > May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV)
> Page 1339
of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

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

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

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

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

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.

Aluminum Wheel Refinishing
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Guidelines
Warning
To avoid personal injury when exposed to plastic media blast, hand and/or lathe sanding dust,
primer, color coat, and clearcoat, you must work in a properly ventilated area, wearing an approved
respirator, eye protection, earplugs and protective gloves and clothing.
Evaluating Damage
Note:
* Inspect the wheel for corrosion, scrapes, gouges, etc. Damage MUST NOT be deeper than what
can be sanded or polished off.
* Inspect the wheel for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the wheel.
* ALL wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished.
* The re-machining and the re-clear coating of aluminum wheels is not recommended in the dealer
environment due to concerns of repair durability.
* Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the dimensions
and function of the wheel.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing General Recommendations/Options
* Painted aluminum wheels use a primer, color coat, and clearcoat procedure. If the paint is
damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original coatings must be removed
first. Media blasting is recommended. (See option number 1).
* If the clearcoat is damaged, it is possible to refinish with clearcoat only, however, the required
refinishing process cannot be performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinishers
Responsibility (Repair option number 2).
* Re-plating of chrome-plated aluminum wheels is not recommended.
Repair Option Number 1
Material Required/Information Resources
* The Paint Manufacturer's Color Book
* Refer to the latest GM Approved Refinish Materials Booklet (GM 4901 MD-2005) for specific
products for aluminum refinishing.
* To access the booklet. Click on GM Collision Parts. Click on GM Technical Repair Information,
select Paint Shop.
* A Color Compatibility chart is also at this site defining what colors are used on what models.
Note: Chemical strippers are not recommended.
* Refer to specific Paint Manufacturers for refinish procedures and process pertaining to "Aluminum
Refinishing". The procedure requires the wheel surface to be plastic media blasted to remove old
paint or clearcoat.
General Color Selection
* If the wheels being painted were previously clearcoated aluminum, and a painted aluminum look
is desired, using Corsican Silver WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look, or Sparkle Silver
WA9967 for a very bright look. Body color is another option to the customer that may also be used.
* Some specific colors may be recommended on certain models.
* If painting wheels that were previously clearcoated aluminum, it is recommended that all 4 wheels
and their center caps be refinished to maintain color uniformity.
General Refinishing Procedures - Removal
1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle. The tires may remain mounted on the wheels. 2. Remove
the balance weights and mark their locations on the tire. 3. Remove excess grease, etc. from the
wheels with wax and grease remover. 4. Have the wheels plastic media blasted to remove the
clearcoat.
Note: MASK OFF ALL MOUNTING SURFACES, whenever a wheel is refinished. The mounting
surface and the wheel nut contact surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these
surfaces could affect the wheel nut torque.
5. Clean and mask and paint the wheels.
General Refinishing Procedures - Installation
1. Unmask the wheels. 2. Clean all wheel mounting surface of any corrosion, overspray, or dirt.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Page 1402
Note: When re-balancing a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in
order to reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.
3. Install NEW coated balance weights at marked locations.
Note: Use a torque stick on an impact wrench, or a torque wrench to consistently and uniformly
fasten the wheel to the specified torque for the vehicle. The star pattern must be followed.
4. Install wheels on vehicle.
Repair Option Number 2 - Outside Companies
* Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. One such company, Transwheel
Corporation (800-892-3733), provides this service with GM guidelines. Other companies may also
exist.
* Any process that re-machines or otherwise remanufactures the wheel should not be used.
* The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process to assure that the
same wheel is returned. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel and warrant the
painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the new vehicle
warranty, whichever is longer.
* Paint and/or clearcoat must not be present on the following surfaces, the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole.
* A refinishers responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the
equivalent. Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any
kind is allowed. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the wheel. Hand and/or lathe
sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed. Material removal, though, must
be kept to a minimum.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Circuit/System Description
The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid
valve - exhaust system enables the engine control module (ECM) to change camshaft timing while
the engine is running. The camshaft position actuator assembly varies camshaft position in
response to directional changes in oil pressure. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust controls the oil pressure that is
applied to advance or retard the camshaft. Modifying camshaft timing under changing engine
demand provides better balance between the following performance concerns:
* Engine power output
* Fuel economy
* Lower exhaust emissions
The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid
valve - exhaust is controlled by the ECM. The crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position
sensor - intake and camshaft position sensor - exhaust are used to monitor changes in camshaft
position. The ECM uses information from the following sensors in order to calculate the desired
camshaft position:
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
* Mass air flow (MAF) sensor
* Throttle position sensor
* Vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
Camshaft Position Actuator System Operation
The ECM operates the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position
actuator solenoid valve - exhaust by pulse width modulation (PWM) of the solenoid coil. The higher
the PWM duty cycle, the larger the change in camshaft timing. Oil pressure that is applied to the
advance side of the fixed vanes will rotate the camshaft in a clockwise direction. The clockwise
movement of the camshaft will advance the timing up to a maximum of 21°. When oil pressure is
applied to the return side of the vanes, the camshaft will rotate counterclockwise until returning to
0°.
Oil flowing to the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator
solenoid valve - exhaust housing from the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and
camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust advance passage applies pressure to the
advance side of the vane wheel in the camshaft position actuator assembly. At the same time the
camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve exhaust retard passage is open, allowing oil pressure to decrease on the retard side of the vane
wheel. These two simultaneous actions cause the vane wheel to rotate clockwise, advancing
camshaft advance timing.
When the oil flowing to the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft position
actuator solenoid valve - exhaust housing is from the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust retard passage, oil pressure is
applied to the retard side of the vane wheel. Because the solenoid advance passage is open,
allowing oil pressure to decrease on the advance side of the vane wheel, the camshaft position
retards.
The ECM can also command the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft
position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust to stop oil flow from both passages in order to hold the
current camshaft position. The ECM is continuously comparing camshaft position sensor - intake
and camshaft position sensor - exhaust input with camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust input in order to monitor camshaft
position and detect any system malfunctions. The following table provides camshaft phase
commands for common driving conditions:

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Circuit/System Description
The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid
valve - exhaust system enables the engine control module (ECM) to change camshaft timing while
the engine is running. The camshaft position actuator assembly varies camshaft position in
response to directional changes in oil pressure. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust controls the oil pressure that is
applied to advance or retard the camshaft. Modifying camshaft timing under changing engine
demand provides better balance between the following performance concerns:
* Engine power output
* Fuel economy
* Lower exhaust emissions
The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid
valve - exhaust is controlled by the ECM. The crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position
sensor - intake and camshaft position sensor - exhaust are used to monitor changes in camshaft
position. The ECM uses information from the following sensors in order to calculate the desired
camshaft position:
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
* Mass air flow (MAF) sensor
* Throttle position sensor
* Vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
Camshaft Position Actuator System Operation
The ECM operates the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position
actuator solenoid valve - exhaust by pulse width modulation (PWM) of the solenoid coil. The higher
the PWM duty cycle, the larger the change in camshaft timing. Oil pressure that is applied to the
advance side of the fixed vanes will rotate the camshaft in a clockwise direction. The clockwise
movement of the camshaft will advance the timing up to a maximum of 21°. When oil pressure is
applied to the return side of the vanes, the camshaft will rotate counterclockwise until returning to
0°.
Oil flowing to the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator
solenoid valve - exhaust housing from the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and
camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust advance passage applies pressure to the
advance side of the vane wheel in the camshaft position actuator assembly. At the same time the
camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve exhaust retard passage is open, allowing oil pressure to decrease on the retard side of the vane
wheel. These two simultaneous actions cause the vane wheel to rotate clockwise, advancing
camshaft advance timing.
When the oil flowing to the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft position
actuator solenoid valve - exhaust housing is from the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust retard passage, oil pressure is
applied to the retard side of the vane wheel. Because the solenoid advance passage is open,
allowing oil pressure to decrease on the advance side of the vane wheel, the camshaft position
retards.
The ECM can also command the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft
position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust to stop oil flow from both passages in order to hold the
current camshaft position. The ECM is continuously comparing camshaft position sensor - intake
and camshaft position sensor - exhaust input with camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust input in order to monitor camshaft
position and detect any system malfunctions. The following table provides camshaft phase
commands for common driving conditions:

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

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the engine
operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to 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.
The drive belt may have a rumbling condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the
drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the
drive belts are installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the
load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is
causing the rumbling noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This test is to verify that
the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may cause a similar
symptom. 3. This test is to verify that one of the drive belts is causing the rumbling noise or
vibration. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the
description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When
removing the drive belts the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also
DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belts removed. 4. Inspecting the drive
belts is to ensure that they are not causing the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt
will not cause the noise. Belt separation can be recognized at the edge of the belt or felt as a lump
in the belt. 5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is
severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper operation. 9. Inspecting of the
fasteners can eliminate the possibility that the wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 11.
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 smooth operation and
excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known good water pump. 12. Accessory drive
component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put extra strain on that accessory
component causing it to vibrate.

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

Refer to the following General Motors website for dexos 1(TM) information about the different
licensed brands that are currently available: http://www.gmdexos.com
GM dexos 1(TM) Engine Oil Trademark and Icons
The dexos(TM) specification and trademarks are exclusive to General Motors, LLC.
Only those oils displaying the dexos‹›(TM) trademark and icon on the front label meet the
demanding performance requirements and stringent quality standards set forth in the dexos‹›(TM)
specification.
Look on the front label for any of the logos shown above to identify an authorized, licensed dexos
1(TM) engine oil.
GM dexos 1(TM) Engine Oil Specification
Important General Motors dexos 1(TM) engine oil specification replaces the previous General
Motors specifications GM6094M, GM4718M and GM-LL-A-025 for most GM gasoline engines. The
oil specified for use in GM passenger cars and trucks, PRIOR to the 2011 model year remains
acceptable for those previous vehicles. However, dexos 1(TM) is backward compatible and can be
used in those older vehicles.
In North America, starting with the 2011 model year, GM introduced dexos 1(TM) certified engine
oil as a factory fill and service fill for gasoline engines. The reasons for the new engine oil
specification are as follows:
- To meet environmental goals such as increasing fuel efficiency and reducing engine emissions.
- To promote long engine life.
- To minimize the number of engine oil changes in order to help meet the goal of lessening the
industry's overall dependence on crude oil.
dexos 1(TM) is a GM-developed engine oil specification that has been designed to provide the
following benefits:
- Further improve fuel economy, to meet future corporate average fuel economy (CAFE)
requirements and fuel economy retention by allowing the oil to maintain its fuel economy benefits
throughout the life of the oil.
- More robust formulations for added engine protection and aeration performance.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Engine Oil > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - GM dexos 1 and dexos 2(R) Oil Specifications > Page 1614
- 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.

(TM)specification.
Look on the front label for any of the logos shown above to identify an authorized, licensed dexos
2(TM) engine oil.
GM dexos 2(TM) Engine Oil Specification
- dexos 2(TM) is approved and recommended by GM for use in Europe starting in model year 2010
vehicles, regardless of where the vehicle was manufactured.
- dexos 2(TM) is the recommended service fill oil for European gasoline engines.
Important The Duramax(TM) diesel engine is the exception and requires lubricants meeting
specification CJ-4.
- dexos 2(TM) is the recommended service fill oil for European light-duty diesel engines and
replaces GM-LL-B-025 and GM-LL-A-025.
- dexos 2(TM) protects diesel engines from harmful soot deposits and is designed with limits on
certain chemical components to prolong catalyst life and protect expensive emission reduction
systems. It is a robust oil, resisting degradation between oil changes and maintaining optimum
performance longer.

Engine Oil: Fluid Type Specifications
Selecting the Right Engine Oil
Selecting the right engine oil depends on both the proper oil specification and viscosity grade:
Specification
Use and ask for engine oils with the dexosTM certification mark. Oils meeting the requirements of
the vehicle should have the dexos certification mark on the container. This certification mark
indicates that the oil has been approved to the dexos specification.
This vehicle was filled at the factory with dexos-approved engine oil.
Notice: Use only engine oil that is approved to the dexos specification or an equivalent engine oil of
the appropriate viscosity grade. Engine oils approved to the dexos specification will show the dexos
symbol on the container. Failure to use the recommended engine oil or equivalent can result in
engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. If you are unsure whether the oil is approved
to the dexos specification, ask your service provider.
Use of Substitute Engine Oils if dexos is unavailable: In the event that dexos-approved engine oil is
not available at an oil change or for maintaining proper oil level, you may use substitute engine oil
displaying the API Starburst symbol and of SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade. Use of oils that do not
meet the dexos specification, however, may result in reduced performance under certain
circumstances.
Viscosity Grade
SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE
10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50.
Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29°C
(-20°F), an SAE 0W-30 oil should be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold
starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. When selecting an oil of the appropriate
viscosity grade, be sure to always select an oil that meets the required specification, dexos.
"Specification" earlier in this section for more information.
Engine Oil Additives/Engine Oil Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended oils with the dexos specification and displaying
the dexos certification mark are all that is needed for good performance and engine protection.
Engine oil system flushes are not recommended and could cause engine damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be unhealthy for your skin and could even
cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with
soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing
used engine oil. the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil
from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash or pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Circuit/System Description
The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid
valve - exhaust system enables the engine control module (ECM) to change camshaft timing while
the engine is running. The camshaft position actuator assembly varies camshaft position in
response to directional changes in oil pressure. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust controls the oil pressure that is
applied to advance or retard the camshaft. Modifying camshaft timing under changing engine
demand provides better balance between the following performance concerns:
* Engine power output
* Fuel economy
* Lower exhaust emissions
The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid
valve - exhaust is controlled by the ECM. The crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position
sensor - intake and camshaft position sensor - exhaust are used to monitor changes in camshaft
position. The ECM uses information from the following sensors in order to calculate the desired
camshaft position:
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
* Mass air flow (MAF) sensor
* Throttle position sensor
* Vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
Camshaft Position Actuator System Operation
The ECM operates the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position
actuator solenoid valve - exhaust by pulse width modulation (PWM) of the solenoid coil. The higher
the PWM duty cycle, the larger the change in camshaft timing. Oil pressure that is applied to the
advance side of the fixed vanes will rotate the camshaft in a clockwise direction. The clockwise
movement of the camshaft will advance the timing up to a maximum of 21°. When oil pressure is
applied to the return side of the vanes, the camshaft will rotate counterclockwise until returning to
0°.
Oil flowing to the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator
solenoid valve - exhaust housing from the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and
camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust advance passage applies pressure to the
advance side of the vane wheel in the camshaft position actuator assembly. At the same time the
camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve exhaust retard passage is open, allowing oil pressure to decrease on the retard side of the vane
wheel. These two simultaneous actions cause the vane wheel to rotate clockwise, advancing
camshaft advance timing.
When the oil flowing to the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft position
actuator solenoid valve - exhaust housing is from the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust retard passage, oil pressure is
applied to the retard side of the vane wheel. Because the solenoid advance passage is open,
allowing oil pressure to decrease on the advance side of the vane wheel, the camshaft position
retards.
The ECM can also command the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft
position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust to stop oil flow from both passages in order to hold the
current camshaft position. The ECM is continuously comparing camshaft position sensor - intake
and camshaft position sensor - exhaust input with camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust input in order to monitor camshaft
position and detect any system malfunctions. The following table provides camshaft phase
commands for common driving conditions:

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

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
Spark Plug Usage
1. Ensure that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability
conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (
See: Application and ID) 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.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks >
Spark Plug > Component Information > Specifications > Page 1808
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. Refer to
Ignition System Specifications (See: Application and ID). An excessively wide electrode gap can
prevent correct spark plug operation.
* Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Application
and ID). 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.
5. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. 6. A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark
intensity.
* Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
* Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped.
* Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
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
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
* Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit Fouling-Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark intensity. Most powdery deposits will not effect spark intensity unless
they form into a glazing over the electrode.

Coolant: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE COOLANT
The cooling system in the vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in the vehicle for five years or 240 000 km (150,000 miles), whichever occurs first.
The following explains the cooling system and how to check and add coolant when it is low.
CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some
other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your
engine could get too hot but you would not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL
coolant.
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant. If using this mixture,
nothing else needs to be added. This mixture: Gives freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Gives boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). Protects against rust and corrosion. Will not damage
aluminum parts. Helps keep the proper engine temperature.
NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly
damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture
can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
NOTICE: If extra inhibitors and/or additives are used in the vehicle's cooling system, the vehicle
could be damaged. Use only the proper mixture of the engine coolant listed for the cooling system.
Never dispose of engine coolant by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, or into sewers,
streams, or bodies of water. Have the coolant changed by an authorized service center, familiar
with legal requirements regarding used coolant disposal. This will help protect the environment and
your health.

Supercede: The Subject and Purpose in this bulletin are being revised to advise that the new ECM
calibration will also address shift quality issues.Please discard all copies of bulletin 10399, issued
November 2010.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the
dealership for any reason. It will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to reprogram the engine control module (ECM) on
certain 2011 model year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with a 1.4L turbo engine (LUJ). These
vehicles may have a condition where the thermostat sticks in the open position. If this occurs,
diagnostic codes will be set and the Service Vehicle Soon light/message will illuminate.
These vehicles may also have transmission shift quality issues due to calibration values.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in
dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
All involved vehicles are identified by VIN in the Global Warranty Management System - Investigate
Vehicle History (GMVIS2) Application. Dealership technicians should always check this site to
confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is
important to routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be
involved regardless of description or option content.
Additionally, a list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service
Update Bulletin Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to
the GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Customer vehicles that return
for service, for any reason, and are still covered under the vehicle's base warranty should also be
checked for vehicle eligibility.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The engine control module (ECM) interacts with many emission related components and systems,
and monitors the emission related components and systems for deterioration. OBD II diagnostics
monitor the system performance and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets if the system
performance degrades.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation and the DTC storage are dictated by the DTC type.
A DTC is ranked as a type A or type B if the DTC is emissions related. Type C is a non emissions
related DTC.
The ECM is located in the engine compartment. The ECM is the control center of the engine
controls system. The ECM controls the following components:
* The fuel injection system
* The ignition system
* The emission control systems
* The on-board diagnostics
* The A/C and fan systems
* The throttle body motor system
The ECM constantly monitors the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls
the systems that affect the vehicle performance and the emissions. The ECM also performs
diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The ECM can recognize operational conditions and
alert the driver via the MIL. When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a DTC. The
condition area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. This helps the technician in making
repairs.
ECM Function
The engine control module (ECM) can supply 5 V or 12 V to the various sensors or switches. This
is done through pull-up resistors to the regulated power supplies within the ECM. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading because the resistance is too
low. Therefore, a DMM with at least 10 Mohm input impedance is required in order to ensure
accurate voltage readings.
The ECM controls the output circuits by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit through the
transistors or a device called an output driver module.
EEPROM
The programmable read only memory (EEPROM), which can be erased electronically, is a
permanent memory that is physically part of the engine control module (ECM). The EEPROM
contains program and calibration information that the ECM needs in order to control the powertrain
operation.
Special equipment, as well as the correct program and calibration for the vehicle, are required in
order to reprogram the ECM.
ECM Default Actions
When a malfunction occurs within the engine control system, the engine control module (ECM)
maintains control of the system with default actions. Default actions are calculated values, and/or
calibrated default values, that are stored within the ECM. A certain level of engine performance is
possible when a malfunction occurs dependant on the default actions taken. The ECM default
actions prevent a complete loss of engine performance.
ECM Output Controls
The scan tool can control certain solenoids, valves, motors, and relays. The output controls can be
found under the special functions selection of the scan tool. Some output controls may be disabled
by the engine control module (ECM) during certain types of vehicle operation.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a 16-pin connector that provides the technician with a means of
accessing serial data for aid in the diagnosis. This connector allows the technician to use a scan
tool in order to monitor the various serial data parameters, and display the DTC information. The
DLC is located inside the drivers compartment, underneath the dash.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel cluster, or the driver
information center. The MIL is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and illuminates when
the ECM detects a condition that affects the vehicle emissions.
ECM Service Precautions
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Page 2071
The engine control module (ECM), by design, can withstand the normal current draws that are
associated with the vehicle operations. However, care must be taken in order to avoid overloading
any of these circuits. When testing for opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the
ECM circuits unless the diagnostic procedure instructs you to do so. These circuits should only be
tested with a DMM.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment
Caution: Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on
vacuum equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
Caution: Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at
the battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Aftermarket, add-on, electrical and vacuum equipment is defined as any equipment installed on a
vehicle after leaving the factory that connects to the vehicles electrical or vacuum systems. No
allowances have been made in the vehicle design for this type of equipment.
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system, such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing
any powertrain condition is to make sure all of the after-market electrical equipment is removed or
disconnected from the vehicle. After this has been done and if the condition still exists, the
condition may be diagnosed in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Note: In order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the ECM, do not touch the
connector pins on the ECM.
The electronic components that are used in the control systems are often designed to carry very
low voltage. The electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic
discharge. Less than 100 V of static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components.
By comparison, it takes as much as 4 000 V for a person to even feel the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and by induction. An example of charging by friction is a person sliding
across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore, it is important to exercise great care when handling and testing electronic components.
Emission Control Information Label
The underhood vehicle emissions control information label contains important emission
specifications and setting procedures. This identifies the year, the manufacturing division of the
engine, the displacement of the engine in liters, the class of the vehicle, and type of fuel metering
system. There is also an illustrated emission components and vacuum hose schematic.
This label is located in the engine compartment of every General Motors vehicle. If the label has
been removed, it can be ordered from GM service parts operations (GMSPO).
Underhood Inspection
Note: This inspection is very important and must be done carefully and thoroughly.
Perform a careful underhood inspection when performing any diagnostic procedure or diagnosing
the cause of an emission test failure. This can often lead to repairing a condition without further
steps. Use the following guidelines when performing an inspection:
* Inspect all of the vacuum hoses for correct routing, pinches, cuts, or disconnects.
* Inspect any hoses that are difficult to see.
* Inspect all of the wires in the engine compartment for the following conditions:
- Burned or chafed spots
- Pinched wires
- Contact with sharp edges
- Contact with hot exhaust manifolds
Basic Knowledge Required
Caution: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain when performing diagnostic procedures could
result in incorrect diagnostic performance or damage to powertrain components. Do not attempt to
diagnose a powertrain problem without this basic knowledge.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
Engine Control Module Replacement
Removal Procedure
Caution:
* Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the control module connectors and
disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the control module (battery cable, powertrain control
module (PCM)/engine control module (ECM)/transaxle control module (TCM) pigtail, control
module fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal control module damage.
* Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT
contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using
battery booster cables, or when charging the vehicle battery.
* In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the control module, do no
touch the connector pins or the soldered components on the circuit board.
* Remove any debris from around the control module connector surfaces before servicing the
control module. Inspect the control module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the
control module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant
intrusion into the control module.
* The replacement control module must be programmed.
Note: It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not
programed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100 percent. If the
replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need
to be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.
1. Prepare the engine control module for the replacement. Refer to Control Module References
(See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and
Relearning).
2. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine
oil life. 3. Disconnect battery negative cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and
Connection (See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Battery

Ignition Relay: Testing and Inspection
Ignition Relay Diagnosis
Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic
procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions )provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay, is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) depending upon input from
the ignition switch. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the relay coil and switch. When the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the ECM will provide ground on the control circuit of the
relay using a low side driver. This will allow voltage through the relay switch contacts to the
components. The ECM monitors the voltage level on the control circuit of the relay.
Diagnostic Aids
The relay electrical contacts may be pitted or sticking. Replace the powertrain relay , if gently
tapping or wiggling the powertrain relay causes a change in the relays operation.

‹› If the test lamp is always ON, test the KR75 Powertrain Relay control circuit for a short to ground.
If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20
Engine Control Module.
4. Ignition ON. The test lamp should turn ON.
‹› If the test lamp is always OFF, test the KR75 Powertrain Relay ECM control circuit for a short to
voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuit
tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
Note: The ignition voltage circuit is between the KR75 Powertrain Relay and the ECM. The ignition
voltage is a feedback circuit.
5. Install a 20 A fused jumper wire between the KR75 Powertrain Relay switch B+ circuit terminal
30 and the KR75 Powertrain Relay switch
ignition voltage circuit terminal 87.
6. Attempt to start the engine. The engine should start.
‹› If the engine does not start, test the ignition voltage circuit between the KR75 Powertrain Relay
and the K20 Engine Control Module for a
short to ground or for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine
Control Module.
7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the KR75 Powertrain Relay.
Component Testing
Relay Test
1. Ignition OFF, remove the KR75 Powertrain Relay from the electrical center with the EL 43244 Relay Puller Pliers. 2. Test for 70-110 ohm between terminals 85 and 86.
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the KR75 Powertrain Relay.
3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
* 30 and 86
* 30 and 87
* 30 and 85
* 85 and 87
‹› If not the specified value, replace the KR75 Powertrain Relay.
4. Install a 20 A fused jumper wire between KR75 Powertrain Relay terminal 85 and 12 V. Install a
jumper wire between KR75 Powertrain Relay
terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohm between terminals 30 and 87.
‹› If greater than the specified range, replace the KR75 Powertrain Relay.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
Note: The crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure is required when the
following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 00 is set:
* Engine replacement
* Engine control module (ECM) replacement
* Crankshaft damper replacement
* Crankshaft replacement
* Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement
* Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
Note: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to
continue with the crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure. The scan tool only
displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
* Crankshaft Position Sensor activity - If there is a crankshaft position sensor condition, refer to the
applicable DTC that set.
* Camshaft position signal activity - If there is a camshaft position sensor signal condition, refer to
the applicable DTC that set.
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) - If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle
the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P0315 00, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
(See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC that set.
3. With a scan tool, select the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure and perform
the following:
1. Observe the fuel cut-off for the applicable engine. 2. Block the drive wheels. 3. Set the parking
brake. 4. Place the vehicles transmission in Park or Neutral. 5. Turn the air conditioning (A/C) OFF.
6. Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON. 7. Apply and hold the brake pedal for the duration of the
procedure. 8. Start and idle the engine. 9. Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine
should not accelerate beyond the calibrated fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
10. Release the throttle when fuel cut-off occurs.
‹› Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine should not accelerate beyond the calibrated
fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
4. The scan tool displays Learn Status: Learned this Ignition. If the scan tool indicates that DTC
P0315 00 ran and passed, the crankshaft position
sensor variation learn procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC P0315 00 failed or did
not run, refer to DTC P0315 (See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/P Code Charts/P0315). If
any other DTCs set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC that set.
5. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 s after the learn procedure is completed successfully.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor System Description
Circuit/System Description
The knock sensor system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing
for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of
detonation. The ECM uses the knock sensor system to test for abnormal engine noise that may
indicate detonation, also known as spark knock.
Sensor Description
This knock sensor system uses one or two flat response dual-wire sensors. The sensor uses
piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an alternating current (AC) voltage signal of varying
amplitude and frequency based on the engine vibration or noise level. The amplitude and
frequency are dependant upon the level of knock that the knock sensor detects. The ECM receives
the knock sensor signal through 2 isolated signal circuits.
If the ECM has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to
reduce the knock. The ECM is capable of controlling spark retard on an individual cylinder basis.
The ECM will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. knock
sensor diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the knock sensor circuitry inside the ECM,
the knock sensor wiring, or the knock sensor voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated
to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or
excessive mechanical engine noise.

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

Heated Oxygen Sensor Resistance Learn Reset Caution
Caution: When replacing the HO2S perform the following:
* A code clear with a scan tool, regardless of whether or not a DTC is set
* HO2S heater resistance learn reset with a scan tool, where available
Perform the above in order to reset the HO2S resistance learned value and avoid possible HO2S
failure.

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

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
Note: The crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure is required when the
following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 00 is set:
* Engine replacement
* Engine control module (ECM) replacement
* Crankshaft damper replacement
* Crankshaft replacement
* Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement
* Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
Note: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to
continue with the crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure. The scan tool only
displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
* Crankshaft Position Sensor activity - If there is a crankshaft position sensor condition, refer to the
applicable DTC that set.
* Camshaft position signal activity - If there is a camshaft position sensor signal condition, refer to
the applicable DTC that set.
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) - If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle
the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P0315 00, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
(See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC that set.
3. With a scan tool, select the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure and perform
the following:
1. Observe the fuel cut-off for the applicable engine. 2. Block the drive wheels. 3. Set the parking
brake. 4. Place the vehicles transmission in Park or Neutral. 5. Turn the air conditioning (A/C) OFF.
6. Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON. 7. Apply and hold the brake pedal for the duration of the
procedure. 8. Start and idle the engine. 9. Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine
should not accelerate beyond the calibrated fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
10. Release the throttle when fuel cut-off occurs.
‹› Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine should not accelerate beyond the calibrated
fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
4. The scan tool displays Learn Status: Learned this Ignition. If the scan tool indicates that DTC
P0315 00 ran and passed, the crankshaft position
sensor variation learn procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC P0315 00 failed or did
not run, refer to DTC P0315 (See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/P Code Charts/P0315). If
any other DTCs set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC that set.
5. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 s after the learn procedure is completed successfully.

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair
Key and Lock Cylinder Coding
Ignition Lock Cylinder
The ignition lock cylinder uses 8 key cut positions, 1-8. The tumbler positions are staggered from
side to side, four on one side and four on the other.
Note: The tumblers (5) are not self-retaining and must be held in place if the key is not fully inserted
into the lock cylinder or until the cylinder (2) is assembled into the case assembly (8).
1. Hold the cylinder assembly (2) so that the retainer pin pocket is facing upward. 2. Insert one
tumbler spring (4) into each of the 4 spring wells. 3. The first tumbler (5) to be loaded will be the
first key cut position, the first number in the key code. Install the first tumbler in the slot nearest the
head of the lock cylinder. Install the remaining tumblers following the key code into the slots at the
key cut positions 3, 5 and 7. It may be necessary to move the sidebar (already pre-assembled into
the cylinder assembly) out slightly to fully install the tumbler into the correct slot.
4. Check the correct loading by holding the tumblers (5) in position and fully inserting the key into
the cylinder assembly (2). All tumblers and the
sidebar should be flushed with the outside diameter of the cylinder assembly body.
5. Rotate the cylinder assembly (2) so that the retention lug is facing upward and then remove the
key, always holding all tumblers so they do not fall
out.
6. Insert one tumbler spring (4) into each of the 4 spring wells. 7. The first tumbler (5) to be loaded
will be the second key cut position, the second number in the key code. Install the tumbler in the
slot nearest the
head of the lock cylinder. Install the remaining tumblers following the key code into the slots at the
key cut positions 4, 6 and 8.
8. Check for the correct loading by holding the tumblers (5) in position and fully inserting the key
into the cylinder assembly (2). 9. Lightly lubricate the tumbler (5) surfaces and the small detent
recess on the side of the cylinder assembly (2) using the lubrication provided.
10. With the key fully inserted, rotate the cylinder assembly so that the side with the retaining pin
(7) pocket is facing upward. 11. Insert the retaining pin spring (6) and then retaining pin (7) into the
pocket located behind the 4 tumblers. The retaining pin spring and retaining
pin are not self-retaining and must be held in place until the cylinder is installed into the case
assembly (8).
12. With the key fully inserted into the cylinder assembly and the retaining pin (7) fully depressed
into the cylinder, align the retainer lug on the
cylinder with the groove on the inside diameter of the case assembly (8). This groove extends the
full length of the case assembly.
13. Install the cylinder assembly into the case assembly (8) being very careful to hold the retainer
pin spring (6) and retainer pin (7) in the cylinder
until they enter into the case assembly. With the cylinder fully inserted into the case assembly,
rotate the cylinder counterclockwise until the retainer pin (7) snaps into place limiting the rotation of
the cylinder assembly.
14. With the cylinder assembly in the Off-Lock position, insert the detent rod (1) into the hole in the
side of the case assembly (8). Install the
anti-rattle spring (3) into the case assembly over the detent spring. The anti-rattle spring should
capture the detent ball and spring in the case assembly. Make sure both ends of the anti-rattle
spring (3) are fully seated, pressed into, the case assembly.
15. With the cylinder assembly in the Off-Lock position, insert the detent rod (1) into the hole in the
side of the case assembly (8). Install the
anti-rattle spring (3) into the case assembly over the detent spring. The anti-rattle spring should
capture the detent ball and spring in the case assembly. Make sure both ends of the anti-rattle
spring (3) are fully seated, pressed into, the case assembly.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor System Description
Circuit/System Description
The knock sensor system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing
for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of
detonation. The ECM uses the knock sensor system to test for abnormal engine noise that may
indicate detonation, also known as spark knock.
Sensor Description
This knock sensor system uses one or two flat response dual-wire sensors. The sensor uses
piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an alternating current (AC) voltage signal of varying
amplitude and frequency based on the engine vibration or noise level. The amplitude and
frequency are dependant upon the level of knock that the knock sensor detects. The ECM receives
the knock sensor signal through 2 isolated signal circuits.
If the ECM has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to
reduce the knock. The ECM is capable of controlling spark retard on an individual cylinder basis.
The ECM will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. knock
sensor diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the knock sensor circuitry inside the ECM,
the knock sensor wiring, or the knock sensor voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated
to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or
excessive mechanical engine noise.

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

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

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
Spark Plug Usage
1. Ensure that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability
conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (
See: Application and ID) 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.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark Plug >
Component Information > Specifications > Page 2309
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. Refer to
Ignition System Specifications (See: Application and ID). An excessively wide electrode gap can
prevent correct spark plug operation.
* Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Application
and ID). 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.
5. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. 6. A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark
intensity.
* Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
* Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped.
* Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
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
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
* Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit Fouling-Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark intensity. Most powdery deposits will not effect spark intensity unless
they form into a glazing over the electrode.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Equipped with Automatic Transmission
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the
dealership for any reason. It will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to replace the brake apply sensor (BAS) on certain 2011
model year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. These vehicles
may have been built with a BAS that may not function properly, indicated by the illumination of the
malfunction indicator lamp.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in
dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin
Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to the
GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Customer vehicles that return for
service, for any reason, and are still covered under the vehicle's base warranty, and are within the
VIN breakpoints provided below, should be checked for vehicle eligibility.
Parts Information
Parts required to complete this service update are to be obtained from General Motors Customer
Care and Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" before ordering
parts. Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency
situation, parts should be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.
PN 22769186, sensor, will not be eligible for RIM.
Service Procedure
1. Adjust the driver's seat to the rear position. 2. Locate the brake pedal assembly. 3. Remove the

Electronic Throttle Actuator: Description and Operation
Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) is the control center for the throttle actuator control (TAC)
system. The ECM determines the drivers intent based on input from the accelerator pedal position
sensors, then calculates the appropriate throttle response based on the throttle position sensors.
The ECM achieves throttle positioning by providing a pulse width modulated voltage to the throttle
actuator motor. The throttle blade is spring loaded in both directions, and the default position is
slightly open.
Modes Of Operation
Normal Mode
During the operation of the TAC system, several modes, or functions, are considered normal. The
following modes may be entered during normal operations:
* Minimum pedal value - At key up, the ECM updates the learned minimum pedal value.
* Minimum throttle position values - At key up, the ECM updates the learned minimum throttle
position value. In order to learn the minimum throttle position value, the throttle blade is moved to
the closed position.
* Ice break mode - If the throttle blade is not able to reach a predetermined minimum throttle
position, the ice break mode is entered. During the ice break mode, the ECM commands the
maximum pulse width several times to the throttle actuator motor in the closing direction.
* Battery saver mode - After a predetermined time without engine RPM, the ECM commands the
battery saver mode. During the battery saver mode, the throttle body TAC module removes the
voltage from the motor control circuits, which removes the current draw used to maintain the idle
position and allows the throttle to return to the spring loaded default position.
Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the ECM detects a condition with the TAC system, the ECM may enter a reduced engine
power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions:
* Acceleration limiting - The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control,
however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 2418
* Limited throttle mode - The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control,
however, the maximum throttle opening is limited.
* Throttle default mode - The ECM will turn OFF the throttle actuator motor, and the throttle will
return to the spring loaded default position.
* Forced idle mode - The ECM will perform the following actions:
- Limit engine speed to idle positioning the throttle position, or by controlling the fuel and spark if
the throttle is turned OFF.
- Ignore the accelerator pedal input.
* Engine shutdown mode - The ECM will disable fuel and deenergize the throttle actuator.

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

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.

HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 Equipped with V8 Gas Powered Engines Only
Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle. 2. Go to: Diagnostics and build the vehicle. 3. Select:

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

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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The engine control module (ECM) interacts with many emission related components and systems,
and monitors the emission related components and systems for deterioration. OBD II diagnostics
monitor the system performance and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets if the system
performance degrades.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation and the DTC storage are dictated by the DTC type.
A DTC is ranked as a type A or type B if the DTC is emissions related. Type C is a non emissions
related DTC.
The ECM is located in the engine compartment. The ECM is the control center of the engine
controls system. The ECM controls the following components:
* The fuel injection system
* The ignition system
* The emission control systems
* The on-board diagnostics
* The A/C and fan systems
* The throttle body motor system
The ECM constantly monitors the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls
the systems that affect the vehicle performance and the emissions. The ECM also performs
diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The ECM can recognize operational conditions and
alert the driver via the MIL. When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a DTC. The
condition area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. This helps the technician in making
repairs.
ECM Function
The engine control module (ECM) can supply 5 V or 12 V to the various sensors or switches. This
is done through pull-up resistors to the regulated power supplies within the ECM. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading because the resistance is too
low. Therefore, a DMM with at least 10 Mohm input impedance is required in order to ensure
accurate voltage readings.
The ECM controls the output circuits by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit through the
transistors or a device called an output driver module.
EEPROM
The programmable read only memory (EEPROM), which can be erased electronically, is a
permanent memory that is physically part of the engine control module (ECM). The EEPROM
contains program and calibration information that the ECM needs in order to control the powertrain
operation.
Special equipment, as well as the correct program and calibration for the vehicle, are required in
order to reprogram the ECM.
ECM Default Actions
When a malfunction occurs within the engine control system, the engine control module (ECM)
maintains control of the system with default actions. Default actions are calculated values, and/or
calibrated default values, that are stored within the ECM. A certain level of engine performance is
possible when a malfunction occurs dependant on the default actions taken. The ECM default
actions prevent a complete loss of engine performance.
ECM Output Controls
The scan tool can control certain solenoids, valves, motors, and relays. The output controls can be
found under the special functions selection of the scan tool. Some output controls may be disabled
by the engine control module (ECM) during certain types of vehicle operation.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a 16-pin connector that provides the technician with a means of
accessing serial data for aid in the diagnosis. This connector allows the technician to use a scan
tool in order to monitor the various serial data parameters, and display the DTC information. The
DLC is located inside the drivers compartment, underneath the dash.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel cluster, or the driver
information center. The MIL is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and illuminates when
the ECM detects a condition that affects the vehicle emissions.
ECM Service Precautions
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 2472
The engine control module (ECM), by design, can withstand the normal current draws that are
associated with the vehicle operations. However, care must be taken in order to avoid overloading
any of these circuits. When testing for opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the
ECM circuits unless the diagnostic procedure instructs you to do so. These circuits should only be
tested with a DMM.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment
Caution: Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on
vacuum equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
Caution: Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at
the battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Aftermarket, add-on, electrical and vacuum equipment is defined as any equipment installed on a
vehicle after leaving the factory that connects to the vehicles electrical or vacuum systems. No
allowances have been made in the vehicle design for this type of equipment.
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system, such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing
any powertrain condition is to make sure all of the after-market electrical equipment is removed or
disconnected from the vehicle. After this has been done and if the condition still exists, the
condition may be diagnosed in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Note: In order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the ECM, do not touch the
connector pins on the ECM.
The electronic components that are used in the control systems are often designed to carry very
low voltage. The electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic
discharge. Less than 100 V of static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components.
By comparison, it takes as much as 4 000 V for a person to even feel the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and by induction. An example of charging by friction is a person sliding
across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore, it is important to exercise great care when handling and testing electronic components.
Emission Control Information Label
The underhood vehicle emissions control information label contains important emission
specifications and setting procedures. This identifies the year, the manufacturing division of the
engine, the displacement of the engine in liters, the class of the vehicle, and type of fuel metering
system. There is also an illustrated emission components and vacuum hose schematic.
This label is located in the engine compartment of every General Motors vehicle. If the label has
been removed, it can be ordered from GM service parts operations (GMSPO).
Underhood Inspection
Note: This inspection is very important and must be done carefully and thoroughly.
Perform a careful underhood inspection when performing any diagnostic procedure or diagnosing
the cause of an emission test failure. This can often lead to repairing a condition without further
steps. Use the following guidelines when performing an inspection:
* Inspect all of the vacuum hoses for correct routing, pinches, cuts, or disconnects.
* Inspect any hoses that are difficult to see.
* Inspect all of the wires in the engine compartment for the following conditions:
- Burned or chafed spots
- Pinched wires
- Contact with sharp edges
- Contact with hot exhaust manifolds
Basic Knowledge Required
Caution: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain when performing diagnostic procedures could
result in incorrect diagnostic performance or damage to powertrain components. Do not attempt to
diagnose a powertrain problem without this basic knowledge.

* 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.

EL-35616-200 - Test Light - Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A Digital Multimeter
(DMM) should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The EL-35616-200 - kit is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an
attached pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.

Special Tools
J-25070 - Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J-25070 - heat
gun.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2540
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. In addition, circuit cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

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

Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.

Special Tools
EL-39200 - Digital Multimeter
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Short to Ground)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Continuity)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General

If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the
EL-39200 - digital multimeter (DMM). This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without
having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the DMM can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a
suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2546
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with
a Digital Multimeter) for information on connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Select the voltage range feature of the DMM in
order to select the desired voltage range.
Note: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep). 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection,
either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value. 9. Determine the
difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
EL-35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. 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 pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2547
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the EL-35616 - kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal
deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center. Use EL-35616 - kit to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use EL-35616 - kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
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/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly
different between a known good terminal and the
suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient
current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to
test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2548
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of
electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc.-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc.-These
accessories may create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would
disappear when the accessory is not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Checking Aftermarket Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are
already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (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 Ohms position.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2549
4. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a
short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Digital Multimeter (DMM) Basic Requirements
Service information is validated using digital multimeters that meet or exceed the following
requirements. Using a multimeter that does not meet these basic requirements may give inaccurate
readings which could lead to an incorrect diagnosis.
Display and Settings
1. Four digits displayed 2. Voltage, current, resistance, frequency, diode test settings, and min-max
function 3. Display positive and negative values
Voltage
1. Have at least 10 Mohm input impedance 2. Test a DC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V. 3. Test an
AC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V.
Current
1. Test a DC current range of 0.1 µA-10 A. 2. Test an AC current range of 0.1 µA-10 A.
Resistance
Test a resistance range of 0.1 ohm-40 Mohm and displays infinite for a value greater than 40
Mohm (O.L. (Over-load))
Frequency
Test for a frequency range of 0.5 Hz-199 k Hz
Diode Test
1. Apply at least 1 mA when performing the diode bias test 2. Display the break over voltage drop
(0-3 V) of a forward biased diode
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2550
3. Display infinite (O.L. (Over-load)) when a diode is reverse biased
Min-Max Readings
1. Can update at a 25 ms sample rate 2. Saves and displays minimum and maximum values
Note: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the engine control module
(ECM), should only be tested with a 10 MOhms or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the
EL-39200.
The DMM instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM.
This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Probing Electrical Connectors).
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Special Tools
EL 35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit , ensure the terminal test
adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal
test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal
in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the
EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the EL-38125-580
GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view
for terminal size.

Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.

* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.

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

Micro-Pack 100W Size Terminal
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2655
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. 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
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 a 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 if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 Digital Multimeter (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 gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the
sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on
GMLAN connectors and terminals.
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A terminated lead can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the appropriate connector
repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must
obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and
EL-38125-10 - tool. For wiring repair, refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2660
Note: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration would be
any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and turbocharged
engines.
Items Required
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* Terminated leads or pigtails
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or
larger gauge size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape
that you remove during the repair.
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing.
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Note: High temperature areas would be areas located near exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the
specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components,
such as connectors and terminals.
SIR/SRS Connector Repair (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin)
Note: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals.
Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. Terminated leads can be
used to replace damaged terminals when replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
* EL-38125-10 - Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except Tefzel
and coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there is special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 to regional wiring gauge size.
- 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the
length of wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2663
tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
6. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp
tool has four nests, one for each color.
7. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
8. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 9. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4, 6 and 15 for the opposite end of the splice.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2664
10. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 11. Start in the middle and
gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:
1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 2. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 3. Gradually move the heat from
the center 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.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
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 seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

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 instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 ohm in a ground or low reference circuit they are not
recommended to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the
circuit is good when there is as much as 20-30 ohm present, while a high impedance test lamp can
light with up to 200 ohm present in the circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used
when validating a ground or low reference circuit continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low
reference continuity testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test
can fail on a good circuit. This may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component
replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM
continuity reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a
ground or low reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal,
will have the highest risk of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground
reference point. The best ground test points would be a control module housing (if the control
modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal
frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than where the negative battery cable is
attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 ohm with
the ignition ON, and drop to 15-25 ohm after the ignition is turned OFF. The reading will drop below
10 ohm after 30-40 seconds, then below 5 ohm after 60 seconds. Once the vehicle completely
goes to sleep (generally 3-10 minutes) the reading will drop below 0.3 ohm.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground
or low reference circuit:
* Ignition OFF
* Key out of the ignition switch (when not equipped with keyless entry and remote start)
* Retained Accessory Power (RAP) OFF (open and close the driver door after ignition OFF)
* Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
* Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be
disconnected from the DLC)
* All entry doors closed
* Headlamps OFF (auto headlamps disabled)
* Any delay lighting OFF
* HVAC after blow OFF
* Any accessory that can work when the ignition is OFF
* Wait up to 60 seconds (after all other listed conditions are met)
Activating the DOOR LOCK function with a key fob can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid
ground or low reference continuity test result.

3. Disconnect the connector body to perform the repair. 4. Use the following procedure to remove
the terminal from the connector body.
Note: Several procedures for specific connector bodies are called out in the Wiring Repairs section.
* The terminal position assurance (TPA) and connector position assurance (CPA) should be
removed before releasing the terminal for the connector body.
* Look at the connector end view to locate the cavity of the damaged terminal and find the proper
terminal release tool from the terminal release tool kit.
Note: Using the incorrect terminal release tool can damage the connector body.
Note: Some terminals have a lever that must be disengaged before the terminal can be released.
* Insert the terminal release tool into the cavity.
5. Gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. 6. Repair the terminal by following the

Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used
throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures up to 150°C. The length of the wire is
450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop

Information Bus: Description and Operation
Data Link Communications Description and Operation
Note: This is an overview of different serial data buses used by GM control modules to
communicate with each others. Use Data Communication Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical
Diagrams) to find out which serial data buses are configured for a specific vehicle.
Circuit Description
There are many components in a vehicle that rely on information from other sources, transmit
information to other sources, or both. Serial data communication networks provide a reliable, cost
effective, way for various components of the vehicle to "talk" to one another and share information.
GM uses a number of different communication buses to insure the timely and efficient exchange of
information between control modules. When compared to each other, some of these buses are
different in nature as far as speed, signal characteristics, and behavior. An example of this is the
High Speed GMLAN and Low Speed GMLAN buses.
On the other hand, when other buses are compared to each other they have similar characteristics
and simply operate in parallel. In this case they are used to group together components which have
high interaction. Examples are the High Speed GMLAN, Powertrain Expansion, and Chassis
Expansion buses. This allows them to communicate with each other on a bus with reduced
message congestion insuring faster and the more timely exchange of information than if all vehicle
control modules were on a single bus.
The majority of information that exists within a given network generally stays local; however some
information will have to be shared on other networks. Control modules designated as Gateway's
perform the function of transferring information between the various buses. A Gateway module is
connected to at least 2 buses and will interact with each network according to its message strategy
and transmission models.
GMLAN provides the capability for a receiving control module to monitor message transmissions
from other control modules in order to determine if messages of interest are not being received.
The primary purpose is to allow reasonable default values to be substituted for the information no
longer being received. Additionally, a control module may set a Diagnostic Trouble Code to indicate
that the control module it is expecting information from is no longer communicating.
High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
A High Speed GMLAN Bus is used where data needs to be exchanged at a high enough rate to
minimize the delay between the occurrence of a change in sensor value and the reception of this
information by a control device using the information to adjust vehicle system performance.
The High Speed GMLAN serial data network consists of two twisted wires. One signal circuit is
identified as GMLAN-High and the other signal circuit is identified as GMLAN-Low. At each end of
the data bus there is a 120 ohm termination resistor between the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low
circuits.
Data symbols (1's and 0's) are transmitted sequentially at a rate of 500 Kbit/s. The data to be
transmitted over the bus is represented by the voltage difference between the GMLAN-High signal
voltage and the GMLAN-Low signal voltage.
When the two wire bus is at rest the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low signal circuits are not being
driven and this represents a logic "1". In this state both signal circuits are at the same voltage of 2.5
V. The differential voltage is approximately 0 V.
When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the GMLAN-High signal circuit is driven higher to about 3.5 V
and the GMLAN-Low circuit is driven lower to about 1.5 V. The differential voltage becomes
approximately 2.0 (+/- 0.5) V.
Chassis High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The GMLAN Chassis Expansion Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus except
that its use is reserved for chassis components. This implementation splits message congestion
between two parallel buses helping to insure timely message transmission and reception.
Sometimes communication is required between the Chassis Expansion Bus and the primary High
Speed GMLAN Bus. This is accomplished by using the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM)
as the Gateway module. Since the High Speed GMLAN Chassis Expansion Bus and primary High
Speed GMLAN Bus operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are similar.
CAN Graphical Interface (CGI) Circuit Description
This bus is used by the Entertainment sub-system to transfer high-rate display graphics between
the Radio and the Info Display Module and/or Radio/HVAC Control. The electrical characteristics of
the CAN Graphical Interface (CGI) Bus are very similar to the High Speed GMLAN Bus. The
message strategy and construction of messages are different however. Sometimes communication
is required between the CAN Graphical Interface Bus and the Low Speed GMLAN Bus. This is
accomplished by using the Radio SilverBox as the Gateway module. Since the CAN Graphical
Interface Bus and primary High Speed GMLAN Bus have similar electrical characteristics, the
diagnostics for each are similar.
In the case where the Info Display Module and Radio/HVAC Control are separate control modules
the Info Display Module is responsible for passing information between the Radio and the
Radio/HVAC Control. The Radio interfaces only with the Info Display Module and the Info Display
Module then
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Page 2678
communicates with the Radio/HVAC Control through a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) interface.
A bus wake up signal will be generated by the Radio or by the Info Display Module when the
system functionality is required. The communication function of the CAN Graphical Interface shall
be enabled or disabled based on the voltage level of the Center Stack Wake. The network will stay
awake as long as the circuit voltage is driven low, to less than 1.5 V. Communications are disabled
with a high circuit voltage around 5.0 V.
The Radio can execute a warm reset of the Info Display Module if the Info Display Module fails to
respond to the Radio's request. The Center Stack Reset is a low-asserted pull down output (less
than 1.5 V) from the Radio to the Info Display Module and has the same electrical characteristics
as those for the Center Stack Wake signal defined above.
Mid Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The Mid Speed GMLAN Bus is very similar to the High Speed GMLAN Bus except that it uses a
slower transmission rate of 125 Kbit/s. This bus is intended for use where the system response
time demands that a large amount of data be transmitted in a relatively short amount of time, such
as updating a graphics display. As such it has usually been used for infotainment applications.
Sometimes communication is required between the Low Speed GMLAN Bus and the Mid Speed
GMLAN Bus. This is accomplished by using the Radio (Silverbox) as the Gateway module. Since
the Mid Speed GMLAN Bus and primary High Speed GMLAN Bus operate in a similar manner, the
diagnostics for each are similar.
Low Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
Low Speed GMLAN Bus is used in applications where a high data rate is not required which allows
for the use of less complex components. It is typically used for operator controlled functions where
the response time requirements are slower than those required for dynamic vehicle control.
The Low Speed GMLAN Serial Data Network consists of a single wire, ground referenced bus with
high side voltage drive. During on road vehicle operation data symbols (1's and 0's) are transmitted
sequentially at the normal rate of 33.3 Kbit/s. For component programming only, a special high
speed data mode of 83.3 Kbit/s may be used.
Unlike the high speed dual wire networks, the single wire low speed network does not use
terminating resistors at either end of the network.
The data symbols to be transmitted over the bus are represented by different voltage signals on the
bus. When the Low Speed GMLAN Bus is at rest and is not being driven, there is a low signal
voltage of approximately 0.2 V. This represents a logic "1". When a logic "0" is to be transmitted,
the signal voltage is driven higher to around 4.0 V or higher.
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Circuit Description
The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus consists of a single wire with a transmission rate of
10.417 Kbit/s. This bus is used to exchange information between a master control module and
other smart devices which provide supporting functionality. This type of configuration does not
require the capacity or speed of either a High Speed GMLAN Bus or Low Speed GMLAN Bus and
is thus relatively simpler.
The data symbols (1's and 0's) to be transmitted are represented by different voltage levels on the
communication bus. When the LIN Bus is at rest and is not being driven, the signal is in a high
voltage state of approximately Vbatt. This represents a logic "1". When a logic "0" is to be
transmitted, the signal voltage is driven low to about ground (0.0 V).
Communication Enable Circuit Description
Control modules on GMLAN high speed type networks, excluding the Mid Speed GMLAN Bus and
CAN Graphical Interface Bus, enable or disable communication based on the voltage level of this
circuit. When the circuit voltage is high (around 12 V), communications are enabled. When the
circuit is low, communications are disabled.
The CAN Graphical Interface Bus is similar but uses different voltage levels. See description above
for the CAN Graphical Interface Bus.
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:
* Pin 1 Low speed GMLAN communications terminal
* Pin 2 Class 2 communications terminal
* Pin 3 Mid speed GMLAN serial bus (+) terminal
* Pin 4 Scan tool power ground terminal
* Pin 5 Common signal ground terminal
* Pin 6 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal
* Pin 7 Keyword communications terminal
* Pin 11 Mid speed GMLAN serial bus (-) terminal
* Pin 12 Chassis high speed GMLAN serial bus (+) terminal

Serial Data Reference
The scan tool communicates over the various buses on the vehicle. When a scan tool is installed
on a vehicle, the scan tool will try to communicate with every control module that could be optioned
into the vehicle. If an option is not installed on the vehicle, the scan tool will display No Comm for
that optional control module. In order to avert misdiagnoses of No Communication with a specific
control module, refer to Data Link References (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview) for a list of control modules, the buses they communicate with, and the RPO
codes for a specific control module.

This table identifies which serial data link that a particular module uses for in-vehicle data
transmission. Some modules may use more than one data link to communicate. Some modules
may have multiple communication circuits passing through them without actively communicating on
that data link. This table is used to assist in correcting a communication malfunction. Not all
modules listed will be applicable to all vehicles. Refer to the schematics to determine which
modules apply. For the description and operation of these serial data communication circuits refer

Diagnostic Fault Information
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 2684
Circuit/System Description
The GMLAN high speed chassis expansion bus functions the same as the GMLAN high speed bus,
and the two buses operate in parallel. The expansion chassis bus was added to reduce message
congestion on the primary high speed bus. Since the GMLAN high speed chassis bus and primary
GMLAN high speed bus operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are the same.
The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speeds up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted
pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the engine control module (ECM)
and the other can be a separate resistor in a connector assembly or in another control module. The
resistors are used as the load for the High Speed GMLAN buss during normal vehicle operation.
The high speed GMLAN is a differential bus. The high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and high
speed GMLAN serial data (-) are driven to opposite extremes from a rest or idle level of
approximately 2.5 V. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds one volt to the high speed GMLAN
serial data bus (+) circuit and subtracts one volt from the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-)
circuit. If serial data is lost, control modules will set a no communication code against the
non-communicating control module. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure
of the module that set it.
Diagnostic Aids
* Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a
history U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status.
Loss-of-communication U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they
are transparent to the vehicle operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms.
Eventually, they will erase themselves automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles.
This condition would most likely be attributed to one of these scenarios:
- A control module on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication
circuit is awake.
- Power to one or more modules was interrupted during diagnosis
- A low battery condition was present, so some control modules stop communicating when battery
voltage drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and control modules on the communication circuit did
not all re-initialize at the same time.
- If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never
be interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
* Do not replace a control module reporting a U code. The U code identifies which control module
needs to be diagnosed for a communication issue.
* Communication may be available between the BCM and the scan tool with the high speed
GMLAN serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to the BCM using both the high and
low speed GMLAN systems.
* An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but not
communicate with the vehicle.
* The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the high speed GMLAN serial data
bus.
* Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) and no low speed GMLAN communications with the scan tool.
* The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the high speed GMLAN serial data
bus. These conditions may be caused by the installation of an aftermarket navigation radio module
(see bulletins). Some customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:
- Vehicle will not crank
- Vehicle cranks but will not start
- Vehicle stability enhancement system warning lights and messages
- PRNDL gear indicator position errors

schematic to identify the following:
* Control modules the vehicle is equipped with
* Chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminating resistors
* Control module locations on the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits
* Each control module chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminals
1. Attempt to communicate with all control modules on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
Refer to Data Link References (See: Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview). Communications should not be available with two or more
control modules on the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuit.

resistor between the serial data circuits. This can happen if the incorrect control module is
installed. Some control modules are available with and without the terminating resistors installed to
reduce the need of terminating resistors in the wiring harness.
‹› If greater than 70 ohm but less than infinite, test the serial data circuit for an open/high

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate control modules. The
transmission speed for GMLAN low speed is up to 83.33 Kb/s. Under normal vehicle operating
conditions, the speed of the buss is 33.33 Kb/s. The control modules toggle the serial data circuit
between 0-5 V during normal communications. To wake the control modules connected to the
GMLAN low speed serial data circuit, a voltage wake up pulse of 10 V is sent out. If serial data is
lost, control modules will set a no communication code against the non-communicating control
module. A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the module that
set it.
Diagnostic Aids
* Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a
history U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss-ofcommunication U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are
transparent to the vehicle operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms.
Eventually, they will erase themselves automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles.
This condition would most likely be attributed to one of these scenarios:
- A control module on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication
circuit is awake.
- Power to one or more modules was interrupted during diagnosis
- A low battery condition was present, so some control modules stop communicating when battery
voltage drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and control modules on the communication circuit did
not all re-initialize at the same time.
- If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never
be interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
* Do not replace a control module reporting a U-code. The U-code identifies which control module
needs to be diagnosed for a communication issue.
* Communication may be available between the body control module (BCM) and the scan tool with
the low speed GMLAN serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to the BCM using both
the high and low speed GMLAN systems.
* An open in the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit between the splice pack and a module will
only affect that specific module. This type of failure will set a loss of communication DTC for each
module effected, and the other modules will still communicate.
* An open in the data link connector (DLC) ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to
operate but not communicate with the vehicle.
* The engine may not start when there is a total malfunction of the low speed GMLAN serial data
circuit.
* Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) and no low speed LAN communications with the scan tool. These conditions may be
caused by the installation of an aftermarket navigation radio module (see bulletins). Some
customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:
- Vehicle will not crank
- Vehicle cranks but will not start
- Vehicle stability enhancement system warning lights and messages
- PRNDL gear indicator position errors

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor System Description
Circuit/System Description
The knock sensor system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing
for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of
detonation. The ECM uses the knock sensor system to test for abnormal engine noise that may
indicate detonation, also known as spark knock.
Sensor Description
This knock sensor system uses one or two flat response dual-wire sensors. The sensor uses
piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an alternating current (AC) voltage signal of varying
amplitude and frequency based on the engine vibration or noise level. The amplitude and
frequency are dependant upon the level of knock that the knock sensor detects. The ECM receives
the knock sensor signal through 2 isolated signal circuits.
If the ECM has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to
reduce the knock. The ECM is capable of controlling spark retard on an individual cylinder basis.
The ECM will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. knock
sensor diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the knock sensor circuitry inside the ECM,
the knock sensor wiring, or the knock sensor voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated
to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or
excessive mechanical engine noise.

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

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

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

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.

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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The engine control module (ECM) interacts with many emission related components and systems,
and monitors the emission related components and systems for deterioration. OBD II diagnostics
monitor the system performance and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets if the system
performance degrades.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation and the DTC storage are dictated by the DTC type.
A DTC is ranked as a type A or type B if the DTC is emissions related. Type C is a non emissions
related DTC.
The ECM is located in the engine compartment. The ECM is the control center of the engine
controls system. The ECM controls the following components:
* The fuel injection system
* The ignition system
* The emission control systems
* The on-board diagnostics
* The A/C and fan systems
* The throttle body motor system
The ECM constantly monitors the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls
the systems that affect the vehicle performance and the emissions. The ECM also performs
diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The ECM can recognize operational conditions and
alert the driver via the MIL. When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a DTC. The
condition area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. This helps the technician in making
repairs.
ECM Function
The engine control module (ECM) can supply 5 V or 12 V to the various sensors or switches. This
is done through pull-up resistors to the regulated power supplies within the ECM. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading because the resistance is too
low. Therefore, a DMM with at least 10 Mohm input impedance is required in order to ensure
accurate voltage readings.
The ECM controls the output circuits by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit through the
transistors or a device called an output driver module.
EEPROM
The programmable read only memory (EEPROM), which can be erased electronically, is a
permanent memory that is physically part of the engine control module (ECM). The EEPROM
contains program and calibration information that the ECM needs in order to control the powertrain
operation.
Special equipment, as well as the correct program and calibration for the vehicle, are required in
order to reprogram the ECM.
ECM Default Actions
When a malfunction occurs within the engine control system, the engine control module (ECM)
maintains control of the system with default actions. Default actions are calculated values, and/or
calibrated default values, that are stored within the ECM. A certain level of engine performance is
possible when a malfunction occurs dependant on the default actions taken. The ECM default
actions prevent a complete loss of engine performance.
ECM Output Controls
The scan tool can control certain solenoids, valves, motors, and relays. The output controls can be
found under the special functions selection of the scan tool. Some output controls may be disabled
by the engine control module (ECM) during certain types of vehicle operation.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a 16-pin connector that provides the technician with a means of
accessing serial data for aid in the diagnosis. This connector allows the technician to use a scan
tool in order to monitor the various serial data parameters, and display the DTC information. The
DLC is located inside the drivers compartment, underneath the dash.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel cluster, or the driver
information center. The MIL is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and illuminates when
the ECM detects a condition that affects the vehicle emissions.
ECM Service Precautions

The engine control module (ECM), by design, can withstand the normal current draws that are
associated with the vehicle operations. However, care must be taken in order to avoid overloading
any of these circuits. When testing for opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the
ECM circuits unless the diagnostic procedure instructs you to do so. These circuits should only be
tested with a DMM.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment
Caution: Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on
vacuum equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
Caution: Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at
the battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Aftermarket, add-on, electrical and vacuum equipment is defined as any equipment installed on a
vehicle after leaving the factory that connects to the vehicles electrical or vacuum systems. No
allowances have been made in the vehicle design for this type of equipment.
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system, such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing
any powertrain condition is to make sure all of the after-market electrical equipment is removed or
disconnected from the vehicle. After this has been done and if the condition still exists, the
condition may be diagnosed in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Note: In order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the ECM, do not touch the
connector pins on the ECM.
The electronic components that are used in the control systems are often designed to carry very
low voltage. The electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic
discharge. Less than 100 V of static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components.
By comparison, it takes as much as 4 000 V for a person to even feel the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and by induction. An example of charging by friction is a person sliding
across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore, it is important to exercise great care when handling and testing electronic components.
Emission Control Information Label
The underhood vehicle emissions control information label contains important emission
specifications and setting procedures. This identifies the year, the manufacturing division of the
engine, the displacement of the engine in liters, the class of the vehicle, and type of fuel metering
system. There is also an illustrated emission components and vacuum hose schematic.
This label is located in the engine compartment of every General Motors vehicle. If the label has
been removed, it can be ordered from GM service parts operations (GMSPO).
Underhood Inspection
Note: This inspection is very important and must be done carefully and thoroughly.
Perform a careful underhood inspection when performing any diagnostic procedure or diagnosing
the cause of an emission test failure. This can often lead to repairing a condition without further
steps. Use the following guidelines when performing an inspection:
* Inspect all of the vacuum hoses for correct routing, pinches, cuts, or disconnects.
* Inspect any hoses that are difficult to see.
* Inspect all of the wires in the engine compartment for the following conditions:
- Burned or chafed spots
- Pinched wires
- Contact with sharp edges
- Contact with hot exhaust manifolds
Basic Knowledge Required
Caution: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain when performing diagnostic procedures could
result in incorrect diagnostic performance or damage to powertrain components. Do not attempt to
diagnose a powertrain problem without this basic knowledge.

* Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
Note: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to
continue with the crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure. The scan tool only
displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
* Crankshaft Position Sensor activity - If there is a crankshaft position sensor condition, refer to the
applicable DTC that set.
* Camshaft position signal activity - If there is a camshaft position sensor signal condition, refer to
the applicable DTC that set.
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) - If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle
the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P0315 00, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
(See: Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC that set.
3. With a scan tool, select the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure and perform
the following:
1. Observe the fuel cut-off for the applicable engine. 2. Block the drive wheels. 3. Set the parking
brake. 4. Place the vehicles transmission in Park or Neutral. 5. Turn the air conditioning (A/C) OFF.
6. Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON. 7. Apply and hold the brake pedal for the duration of the
procedure. 8. Start and idle the engine. 9. Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine
should not accelerate beyond the calibrated fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
10. Release the throttle when fuel cut-off occurs.
‹› Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine should not accelerate beyond the calibrated
fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
4. The scan tool displays Learn Status: Learned this Ignition. If the scan tool indicates that DTC
P0315 00 ran and passed, the crankshaft position
sensor variation learn procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC P0315 00 failed or did
not run, refer to DTC P0315 (See: Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and
Associated Procedures/P Code Charts/P0315). If any other DTCs set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor System Description
Circuit/System Description
The knock sensor system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing
for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of
detonation. The ECM uses the knock sensor system to test for abnormal engine noise that may
indicate detonation, also known as spark knock.
Sensor Description
This knock sensor system uses one or two flat response dual-wire sensors. The sensor uses
piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an alternating current (AC) voltage signal of varying
amplitude and frequency based on the engine vibration or noise level. The amplitude and
frequency are dependant upon the level of knock that the knock sensor detects. The ECM receives
the knock sensor signal through 2 isolated signal circuits.
If the ECM has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to
reduce the knock. The ECM is capable of controlling spark retard on an individual cylinder basis.
The ECM will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. knock
sensor diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the knock sensor circuitry inside the ECM,
the knock sensor wiring, or the knock sensor voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated
to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or
excessive mechanical engine noise.

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

* HO2S heater resistance learn reset with a scan tool, where available
Perform the above in order to reset the HO2S resistance learned value and avoid possible HO2S
failure.

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

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Circuit/System Description
The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid
valve - exhaust system enables the engine control module (ECM) to change camshaft timing while
the engine is running. The camshaft position actuator assembly varies camshaft position in
response to directional changes in oil pressure. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust controls the oil pressure that is
applied to advance or retard the camshaft. Modifying camshaft timing under changing engine
demand provides better balance between the following performance concerns:
* Engine power output
* Fuel economy
* Lower exhaust emissions
The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid
valve - exhaust is controlled by the ECM. The crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position
sensor - intake and camshaft position sensor - exhaust are used to monitor changes in camshaft
position. The ECM uses information from the following sensors in order to calculate the desired
camshaft position:
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
* Mass air flow (MAF) sensor
* Throttle position sensor
* Vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
Camshaft Position Actuator System Operation
The ECM operates the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position
actuator solenoid valve - exhaust by pulse width modulation (PWM) of the solenoid coil. The higher
the PWM duty cycle, the larger the change in camshaft timing. Oil pressure that is applied to the
advance side of the fixed vanes will rotate the camshaft in a clockwise direction. The clockwise
movement of the camshaft will advance the timing up to a maximum of 21°. When oil pressure is
applied to the return side of the vanes, the camshaft will rotate counterclockwise until returning to
0°.
Oil flowing to the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - intake and camshaft position actuator
solenoid valve - exhaust housing from the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and
camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust advance passage applies pressure to the
advance side of the vane wheel in the camshaft position actuator assembly. At the same time the
camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve exhaust retard passage is open, allowing oil pressure to decrease on the retard side of the vane
wheel. These two simultaneous actions cause the vane wheel to rotate clockwise, advancing
camshaft advance timing.
When the oil flowing to the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft position
actuator solenoid valve - exhaust housing is from the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust retard passage, oil pressure is
applied to the retard side of the vane wheel. Because the solenoid advance passage is open,
allowing oil pressure to decrease on the advance side of the vane wheel, the camshaft position
retards.
The ECM can also command the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - Intake and camshaft
position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust to stop oil flow from both passages in order to hold the
current camshaft position. The ECM is continuously comparing camshaft position sensor - intake
and camshaft position sensor - exhaust input with camshaft position actuator solenoid valve Intake and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust input in order to monitor camshaft
position and detect any system malfunctions. The following table provides camshaft phase
commands for common driving conditions:

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

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

Gasoline Brands That Currently Meet TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Standards
The following gasoline brands meet the TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Standards in all octane
grades :
Chevron Canada (markets in British Columbia and western Alberta)
- Shell Canada (nationally)
- Petro-Canada (nationally)
- Sunoco-Canada (Ontario)
- Esso-Canada (nationally)
What is TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is a new class of gasoline with enhanced detergency and no
metallic additives. It meets new, voluntary deposit control standards developed by six automotive
companies that exceed the detergent recommendations of Canadian standards and does not
contain metallic additives, which can damage vehicle emission control components.
Where Can TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Be Purchased?
The TOP TIER program began in the U.S. and Canada on May 3, 2004. Some fuel marketers have
already joined and introduced TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline. This is a voluntary program and not
all fuel marketers will offer this product. Once fuel marketers make public announcements, they will
appear on a list of brands that meet the TOP TIER standards.
Who developed TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards were developed by six automotive companies: BMW,
General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi.
Why was TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline developed?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline was developed to increase the level of detergent additive in
gasoline. In the U.S., government regulations require that all gasoline sold in the U.S. contain a
detergent additive. However, the requirement is minimal and in many cases, is not sufficient to
keep engines clean. In Canada, gasoline standards recommend adherence to U.S. detergency
requirements but do not require it. In fact, many brands of gasoline in Canada do not contain any
detergent additive. In order to meet TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards, a higher level of
detergent is needed than what is required or recommended, and no metallic additives are allowed.
Also, TOP TIER was developed to give fuel marketers the opportunity to differentiate their product.
Why did the six automotive companies join together to develop TOP TIER?
All six corporations recognized the benefits to both the vehicle and the consumer. Also, joining
together emphasized that low detergency and the intentional addition of metallic additives is an
issue of concern to several automotive companies.
What are the benefits of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline containing the "Lowest
Additive Concentration" recommended by Canadian standards. Clean engines help provide optimal
fuel economy and engine performance, and also provide reduced emissions. Also, the use of TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline will help reduce deposit related concerns.
Who should use TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?
All vehicles will benefit from using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline over gasoline containing the
"Lowest Additive Concentration" recommended by Canadian standards. Those vehicles that have
experienced deposit related concerns may especially benefit from use of TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline. More information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline can be found at this website,

no start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water may collect near a single fuel injector at the
lowest point in the fuel injection system and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel system is
contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust or deterioration.
Ethanol concentrations of greater than 10% can cause driveability conditions and fuel system
deterioration. Fuel with more than 10% ethanol may result in driveability conditions such as
hesitation, lack of power, stalling, or no start. Excessive concentrations of ethanol used in vehicles
not designed for this type of propellant may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber
components, and fuel filter restriction.
Reference Information Special Tools
CH 44175 - Fuel Compression Tester
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Computers and Control Systems/Tools
and Equipment).
System Verification
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank
will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear.
If the sample appears cloudy, or contaminated with water, as indicated by a water layer at the
bottom of the sample, perform the particulate contaminants in fuel testing procedure. If alcohol
contamination is suspected, perform the alcohol in fuel testing procedure.
System Testing
Alcohol in Fuel Testing with Special Tool
1. Test the fuel composition using CH 44175 - fuel compression tester and instruction manual. 2. If
water appears in the fuel sample, clean the fuel system. 3. Subtract 50 from the reading on the
DMM in order to obtain the percentage of alcohol in the fuel sample. 4. If the fuel sample contains
more than 15% ethanol, add fresh, regular gasoline to the vehicles fuel tank. 5. Test the fuel
composition. 6. If testing shows the ethanol percentage is still more than 15%, replace the fuel in
the vehicle.
Alcohol in Fuel Testing without Special Tool
1. Using a 100 ml specified cylinder with 1 ml graduation marks, fill the cylinder with fuel to the 90
ml mark. 2. Add 10 ml of water in order to bring the total fluid volume to 100 ml and install a
stopper. 3. Shake the cylinder vigorously for 10-15 s. 4. Carefully loosen the stopper in order to
release the pressure. 5. Reinstall the stopper and shake the cylinder vigorously again for 10-15 s.
6. Put the cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 min in order to allow adequate liquid
separation. If alcohol is present in the fuel, the
volume of the lower layer, which may now contain both alcohol and water, will be more than 10 ml.
For example, if the volume of the lower layer is increased to 15 ml, this indicates at least 5%
alcohol in the fuel. The actual amount of alcohol may be somewhat more because this procedure
does not extract all of the alcohol from the fuel.
Particulate Contaminants in Fuel Testing Procedure
1. Using an approved fuel container, draw approximately 0.5 L of fuel. 2. Place the container on a
level surface for approximately 5 min in order to allow for the particulate contamination to settle.
Particulate
contamination will show up in various shapes and colors. Sand will typically be identified by white
or light brown crystals. Rubber will appear as

Circuit/System Description
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. The ignition
voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by
grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding
resistance that is too high or too low will affect the engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit
DTC may not set, but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by
temperature. The resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the
fuel injector increases.
When performing the fuel injector balance test, the scan tool is first used to energize the fuel pump.
The fuel injector tester is then used to pulse each injector for a precise amount of time, allowing a
measured amount of the fuel to be injected. This causes a drop in the system fuel pressure that
can be recorded and used to compare each injector.
Diagnostic Aids
* 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 concern from the customer. A fuel
injector condition may only be apparent at a certain temperature, or under certain conditions.

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Computers and Control Systems/Tools
and Equipment).
Component Testing
Fuel Injector Coil Static Test
Verify the resistance of each fuel injector with one of the following methods:
* If the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between 10-32°C (50-90°F), the resistance of
each fuel injector should be 11-14 ohm.
‹› If the injectors measure OK, perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test and the Fuel Pressure Test.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Injector > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Fuel Injector Circuit Diagnosis > Page 3060
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the fuel injector.
* If the ECT sensor is not between 10-32°C (50-90°F), measure and record the resistance of each
fuel injector with a DMM. Subtract the lowest resistance value from the highest resistance value.
The difference between the two should be equal to or less than 3 ohm.
‹› If the difference is equal to or less than 3 ohm, refer to Fuel Pressure Test for further diagnosis of
the fuel injectors. ‹› If the difference is more than 3 ohm, add all of the fuel injector resistance
values to obtain a total resistance value. Divide the total resistance
value by the number of fuel injectors to obtain an average resistance value. Subtract the lowest
individual fuel injector resistance value from the average resistance value. Compute the difference
between the highest individual fuel injector resistance value and the average resistance value.
Replace the fuel injector that displays the greatest difference above or below the average.
Fuel Pressure Test
Note: *
DO NOT perform this test if the engine coolant temperature (ECT) is above 94°C (201°F). Irregular
fuel pressure readings may result due to hot soak fuel boiling.
* Verify that adequate fuel is in the fuel tank before proceeding with this diagnostic.
* Before proceeding with this test review the User Manual CH 48027-5 for Safety Information and
Instructions.
1. Install a fuel pressure gauge. Refer to Fuel Pressure Measurement (See: Fuel Pressure/Testing
and Inspection/Fuel Pressure Measurement). 2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Note: *
The fuel pump relay may need to be commanded ON a few times in order to obtain the highest
possible fuel pressure.
* DO NOT start the engine.
3. Command the fuel pump relay ON with a scan tool. 4. Observe the fuel pressure gauge with the
fuel pump relay commanded ON. The fuel pressure should be 345-414 kPa (50-60 PSI).
‹› If the fuel pressure is not 345-414 kPa (50-60 PSI), refer to Fuel System Diagnosis (See:
Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Fuel System Diagnosis).
5. Monitor the fuel pressure gauge for five minutes. The fuel pressure should not decrease more
than 34 kPa (5 PSI).

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative
products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number

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.

> 11 > Wheels - Chrome Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion > Page 3219
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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Camshaft Position Sensor: > 00-03-10-002F > Apr
> 11 > Wheels - Chrome Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion > Page 3220
hot particles embed themselves in the chrome layer and create a small pit. If the material is allowed
to sit on the wheel while it is exposed to moisture or salt, it will corrode the wheel beneath the
chrome leaving a pit or small blister in the chrome.
Heavy brake dust build-up should be removed from wheels by using GM Chrome Cleaner and
Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada use 10953013). For moderate cleaning, light brake dust build-up
or water spots use GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use Meguiars
Plast-X(TM) Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish #G12310C**). After cleaning, the wheel should be
waxed using GM Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, use Meguiars Cleaner Wax
#M0616C**), which will help protect the wheel from brake dust and reduce adhesion of any brake
dust that gets on the wheel surface. For general maintenance cleaning, PEEK Metal Polish† may
be used. It will clean and shine the chrome and leave behind a wax coating that may help protect
the finish.
Warranty of Stardust Corroded Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of neglect and brake dust build-up may be
replaced one time.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean and free of prolonged exposure to brake dust
build-up. "GM of Canada" dealers require prior approval by the District Manager - Customer Care
and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
Customer Assistance and Instructions
GM has looked for ways customers may improve the appearance of wheels damaged by acidic
cleaners. The following product and procedure has been found to dramatically improve the
appearance of stained wheels. For wheels that have milky stains caused by acidic cleaners try the
following:
Notice
THE 3M CHROME AND METAL POLISH REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE IS AN
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE POLISH/CLEANER. THE WHEELS MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE
APPLICATION TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE WHEEL SURFACE. THIS PRODUCT WILL
REDUCE THE THICKNESS OF THE CHROME PLATING ON THE WHEEL AND IF USED
INCORRECTLY OR EXCESSIVELY MAY REMOVE THE CHROME PLATING ALL TOGETHER,
EXPOSING A LESS BRIGHT AND BRASSY COLORED SUB-LAYER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1. Wash the wheels with vigorously with soap and water. This step will clean and may reduce
wheel staining. Flood all areas of the wheel with water
to rinse.
2. Dry the wheels completely.
Notice Begin with a small section of the wheel and with light pressure buff off polish and examine
results. ONLY apply and rub with sufficient force and time to remove enough staining that you are
satisfied with the results. Some wheels may be stained to the extent that you may only achieve a
50% improvement while others may be able to be restored to the original lustre. IN ALL CASES,
only apply until the results are satisfactory.
3. Apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527* with a clean terry cloth towel. As you apply the
polish, the staining will be diminished. 4. When dry, buff off the polish with a clean portion of the
towel. 5. Repeat application of the 3M Chrome and Metal Polish until satisfied with the results. If
continued applications fail to improve the appearance
further discontinue use.
This procedure will improve the appearance of the wheels and may, with repeated applications,
restore the finish dramatically. For wheels that exhibit spotting from road chemicals the above
procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
In this type of staining the wheel finish has actually been removed in spots and no manner of
cleaning will restore the finish.

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

longer.
Important Whenever a wheel is refinished, the mounting surface and the wheel nut contact
surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these surfaces could affect the wheel nut
torque.
When re-mounting a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in order to
reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.

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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Camshaft Position Sensor: > 00-03-10-006F >
May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV) > Page 3231
of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

longer.
Important Whenever a wheel is refinished, the mounting surface and the wheel nut contact
surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these surfaces could affect the wheel nut
torque.
When re-mounting a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in order to
reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.

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

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

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.

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

following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 00 is set:
* Engine replacement
* Engine control module (ECM) replacement
* Crankshaft damper replacement
* Crankshaft replacement
* Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement
* Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
Note: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to
continue with the crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure. The scan tool only
displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
* Crankshaft Position Sensor activity - If there is a crankshaft position sensor condition, refer to the
applicable DTC that set.
* Camshaft position signal activity - If there is a camshaft position sensor signal condition, refer to
the applicable DTC that set.
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT) - If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle
the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P0315 00, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
(See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC that set.
3. With a scan tool, select the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure and perform
the following:
1. Observe the fuel cut-off for the applicable engine. 2. Block the drive wheels. 3. Set the parking
brake. 4. Place the vehicles transmission in Park or Neutral. 5. Turn the air conditioning (A/C) OFF.
6. Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON. 7. Apply and hold the brake pedal for the duration of the
procedure. 8. Start and idle the engine. 9. Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine
should not accelerate beyond the calibrated fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
10. Release the throttle when fuel cut-off occurs.
‹› Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). The engine should not accelerate beyond the calibrated
fuel cut-off RPM value noted in step 3.1.
Release the throttle immediately if the value is exceeded.
Note: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine
starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to
throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.
4. The scan tool displays Learn Status: Learned this Ignition. If the scan tool indicates that DTC
P0315 00 ran and passed, the crankshaft position
sensor variation learn procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC P0315 00 failed or did
not run, refer to DTC P0315 (See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/P Code Charts/P0315). If
any other DTCs set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Computers and

Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic
procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions )provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
This ignition system uses individual Ignition Coil assemblies for each cylinder. The engine control
module (ECM) controls the spark events by transmitting the timing pulses on the ignition control
circuits to the individual ignition coil assemblies in firing order sequence. Each ignition coil has the
following circuits:
* An ignition voltage circuit
* A ground circuit
* An ignition control circuit
Diagnostic Aids
* This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely
charged.
* There is an adequate supply of fuel in the fuel tank.
* When disconnecting electrical connectors or removing fuses and relays from a fuse block, always
inspect both mating electrical terminals for corrosion and terminal tightness.
* Use the EL 35616-E - terminal test kit for any test that requires probing the underhood fuse block
terminals, component wire harness terminals, or the ECM wire harness terminals.
* A slight to moderate resistance in the ignition voltage circuit can cause a misfire condition or a
crank/no start concern.
* Extended engine cranking time, will foul the spark plugs with excessive fuel and cause a crank/no
start condition.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: Verify that the engine is in good mechanical condition before continuing with this diagnostic.
Observe the engine controls schematic for the ignition module/coils, and review the ignition system
specifications to verify the following concerns:
* The ignition modules/coils are correctly wired and connected.
* The proper spark plug type, refer to Spark Plug Inspection (See: Spark Plug/Testing and
Inspection).
* The proper spark plug gap and torque.
* The proper ohm values for the spark plug wires.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
Note: If the ignition fuse F9 is open, it will be necessary to test the spliced ignition circuits and the
components for a short to ground.
2. Inspect the fuse that supplies ignition voltage to the ignition module/coils.
‹› If fuse F9 is open, test all ignition voltage circuits to the T8 Ignition Coil for a short to ground.
3. Disconnect the T8 Ignition Coil connector. 4. Replace the open fuse F9 with a new fuse. 5.
Ignition ON, engine OFF. 6. Reconnect T8 Ignition Coil connector.
‹› If the fuse F9 opens when connecting the T8 Ignition Coil, then replace the T8 Ignition Coil.
7. Ignition OFF, disconnect the T8 Ignition Coil electrical connector. 8. Ignition ON, verify that a test
lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal A and ground.
‹› If the test lamp does not illuminate test the T8 Ignition Coil Ignition Voltage Circuit for an
open/high resistance.
9. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the T8 Ignition Coil Ground Circuit terminal B and B+.
‹› If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the T8 Ignition Coil Ground Circuit for an open/high
resistance.
10. Exchange the affected T8 Ignition Coil assembly with a known good assembly.
Note: An open/high resistance on the low reference circuit to the ignition control module may cause
a misfire.
11. Start and idle the engine. Observe the misfire counters on the scan tool.
‹› If the misfire or crank/no start is resolved, replace the T8 Ignition Coil/module assembly. ‹› If the
misfire does not transfer with the suspect T8 Ignition Coil, measure the resistance of the ignition
control circuit. The ignition control
circuit should measure less than 5 ohm. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control
Module.

Circuit/System Description
The powertrain relay, is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) depending upon input from
the ignition switch. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the relay coil and switch. When the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the ECM will provide ground on the control circuit of the
relay using a low side driver. This will allow voltage through the relay switch contacts to the
components. The ECM monitors the voltage level on the control circuit of the relay.
Diagnostic Aids
The relay electrical contacts may be pitted or sticking. Replace the powertrain relay , if gently
tapping or wiggling the powertrain relay causes a change in the relays operation.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor System Description
Circuit/System Description
The knock sensor system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing
for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of
detonation. The ECM uses the knock sensor system to test for abnormal engine noise that may
indicate detonation, also known as spark knock.
Sensor Description
This knock sensor system uses one or two flat response dual-wire sensors. The sensor uses
piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an alternating current (AC) voltage signal of varying
amplitude and frequency based on the engine vibration or noise level. The amplitude and
frequency are dependant upon the level of knock that the knock sensor detects. The ECM receives
the knock sensor signal through 2 isolated signal circuits.
If the ECM has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to
reduce the knock. The ECM is capable of controlling spark retard on an individual cylinder basis.
The ECM will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. knock
sensor diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the knock sensor circuitry inside the ECM,
the knock sensor wiring, or the knock sensor voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated
to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or
excessive mechanical engine noise.

Key and Lock Cylinder Coding
Ignition Lock Cylinder
The ignition lock cylinder uses 8 key cut positions, 1-8. The tumbler positions are staggered from
side to side, four on one side and four on the other.
Note: The tumblers (5) are not self-retaining and must be held in place if the key is not fully inserted
into the lock cylinder or until the cylinder (2) is assembled into the case assembly (8).
1. Hold the cylinder assembly (2) so that the retainer pin pocket is facing upward. 2. Insert one
tumbler spring (4) into each of the 4 spring wells. 3. The first tumbler (5) to be loaded will be the
first key cut position, the first number in the key code. Install the first tumbler in the slot nearest the
head of the lock cylinder. Install the remaining tumblers following the key code into the slots at the
key cut positions 3, 5 and 7. It may be necessary to move the sidebar (already pre-assembled into
the cylinder assembly) out slightly to fully install the tumbler into the correct slot.
4. Check the correct loading by holding the tumblers (5) in position and fully inserting the key into
the cylinder assembly (2). All tumblers and the
sidebar should be flushed with the outside diameter of the cylinder assembly body.
5. Rotate the cylinder assembly (2) so that the retention lug is facing upward and then remove the
key, always holding all tumblers so they do not fall
out.
6. Insert one tumbler spring (4) into each of the 4 spring wells. 7. The first tumbler (5) to be loaded
will be the second key cut position, the second number in the key code. Install the tumbler in the
slot nearest the
head of the lock cylinder. Install the remaining tumblers following the key code into the slots at the
key cut positions 4, 6 and 8.
8. Check for the correct loading by holding the tumblers (5) in position and fully inserting the key
into the cylinder assembly (2). 9. Lightly lubricate the tumbler (5) surfaces and the small detent
recess on the side of the cylinder assembly (2) using the lubrication provided.
10. With the key fully inserted, rotate the cylinder assembly so that the side with the retaining pin
(7) pocket is facing upward. 11. Insert the retaining pin spring (6) and then retaining pin (7) into the
pocket located behind the 4 tumblers. The retaining pin spring and retaining
pin are not self-retaining and must be held in place until the cylinder is installed into the case
assembly (8).
12. With the key fully inserted into the cylinder assembly and the retaining pin (7) fully depressed
into the cylinder, align the retainer lug on the

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor System Description
Circuit/System Description
The knock sensor system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing
for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of
detonation. The ECM uses the knock sensor system to test for abnormal engine noise that may
indicate detonation, also known as spark knock.
Sensor Description
This knock sensor system uses one or two flat response dual-wire sensors. The sensor uses
piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an alternating current (AC) voltage signal of varying
amplitude and frequency based on the engine vibration or noise level. The amplitude and
frequency are dependant upon the level of knock that the knock sensor detects. The ECM receives
the knock sensor signal through 2 isolated signal circuits.
If the ECM has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to
reduce the knock. The ECM is capable of controlling spark retard on an individual cylinder basis.
The ECM will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. knock
sensor diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the knock sensor circuitry inside the ECM,
the knock sensor wiring, or the knock sensor voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated
to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or
excessive mechanical engine noise.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
Spark Plug Usage
1. Ensure that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability
conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (
See: Application and ID) 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.

Specifications > Page 3388
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. Refer to
Ignition System Specifications (See: Application and ID). An excessively wide electrode gap can
prevent correct spark plug operation.
* Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Application
and ID). 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.
5. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. 6. A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark
intensity.
* Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
* Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped.
* Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
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
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
* Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit Fouling-Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark intensity. Most powdery deposits will not effect spark intensity unless
they form into a glazing over the electrode.

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

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.

TransFlow(R)
Models:
2011 and Prior Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2003-2010 HUMMER H2 2006-2010

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

each repair.
With the ATF in a tightly sealed container, place the container in a tub of hot water for a period of
time. Then pour the ATF into the reservoir. This method works best with a low fluid level in the
reservoir.
Place the Transflow(R) machine in the direct sunlight with the cabinet door open to expose the
reservoir to the rays of the warm sun.
Flush / Flow Test Procedure
Important All labor operations that include removal of the transmission from the vehicle and require
the transmission oil pan or transmission side cover to be removed include labor time to flush the
transmission oil cooler system.
Refer to SI for Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flushing and Flow Test J 45096 for the
appropriate procedure.
Important The J 45096 can be used to flush the transmission oil cooler system on an Allison
equipped vehicle, but the flow meter should not be utilized. Refer to SI for Automatic Transmission
Oil Cooler Flushing and Flow Test J 45096 for the appropriate flow check procedure.
Machine Displays
After completion of the flush and flow test, the following information is to be recorded on the repair
order. This information is displayed on the Transmission Cooling System Service Tool, J 45096,
Transflow(R) machine when the dial is in the code position.
- Tested flow rate (displayed in Gallons Per Minute (GPM)
- Temperature (displayed is degrees Fahrenheit)
- Cycle number (a number)
- Seven digit Alpha/Numeric flow code (i.e. A10DFB2)
Warranty 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.: 04-06-01-029E
Date: April 29, 2010
Subject: Unnecessary Flushing Services, Additive Recommendations and Proper Utilization of GM
Simplified Maintenance Schedule to Enhance Customer Service Experience
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2,
H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and add information about the
proper transmission flush procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-01-029D
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
An Overview of Proper Vehicle Service
General Motors is aware that some companies are marketing tools and equipment to support a
subsystem flushing procedures. These dedicated machines are in addition to many engine oil,
cooling system, fuel system, A/C, transmission flush and steering system additives available to the
consumer. GM Vehicles under normal usage do not require any additional procedures or additives
beyond what is advised under the former Vehicle Maintenance Schedules or the current Simplified
Maintenance Schedules. Do not confuse machines available from Kent-Moore/SPX that are
designed to aid and accelerate the process of fluid changing with these flushing machines.
Engine Crankcase Flushing
General Motors Corporation does not endorse or recommend engine crankcase flushing for any of
its gasoline engines. Analysis of some of the aftermarket materials used for crankcase flushing
indicate incompatibility with GM engine components and the potential for damage to some engine
seals and bearings. Damage to engine components resulting from crankcase flushing IS NOT
COVERED under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty.
GM Authorized Service Information: Detailed, Descriptive, and Complete
If a specific model vehicle or powertrain need is identified, GM will issue an Authorized Service
Document containing a procedure and, if required, provide, make available, or require the specific
use of a machine, tool or chemical to accomplish proper vehicle servicing. An example of this is
fuel injector cleaning. Due to variation in fuel quality in different areas of the country, GM has
recognized the need for fuel injector cleaning methods on some engines, though under normal
circumstances, this service is not part of the maintenance requirements.
GM has published several gasoline fuel injector cleaning bulletins that fully outline the methods to
be used in conjunction with GM Part Numbered solutions to accomplish proper and safe cleaning
of the fuel injectors with preventative maintenance suggestions to maintain optimum performance.
You may refer to Corporate Bulletin Numbers 03-06-04-030 and 04-06-04-051 for additional
information on this subject.
Subsystem Flushing
Flushing of A/C lines, radiators, transmission coolers, and power steering systems are recognized
practices to be performed after catastrophic failures or extreme corrosion when encountered in
radiators. For acceptable A/C flushing concerns, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 01-01-38-006.
This practice is NOT required or recommended for normal service operations.
The use of external transmission fluid exchange or flush machines is NOT recommended for the
automatic or manual transmission. Use of external machines to replace the fluid may affect the
operation or durability of the transmission. Transmission fluid should only be replaced by draining
and refilling following directions in SI. Refer to Automatic/Manual Transmission Fluid and Filter
Replacement.
Approved Transmission Flushing Tool (Transmission Cooler Only)
The Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Tool is recommended for GM
vehicles. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Flushing and Flow Test in SI using the J 45096.
Service Is Important to You and Your Customer
General Motors takes great pride in offering our dealerships and customers high quality vehicles
that require extremely low maintenance over the life of the vehicle. This low cost of ownership
builds repeat sales and offers our customers measurable economy of operation against competing
vehicles.

Providing responsible services at the proper intervals will greatly aid your dealership with repeat
business, and additional services when required. Most customers appreciate and gain trust in the
dealership that informs and offers them just what they need for continued trouble-free operation.
Examine your service department's practices and verify that all Service Consultants and
Technicians focus on customer satisfaction, vehicle inspections, and other products at time of
service. Use this opportunity to upgrade the services you provide to your customers. Here are a
few suggestions:
- Take the time required to align your dealership service practices with the new GM Simplified
Maintenance Schedule. Use the new vehicle Owner's Manual Maintenance I and II schedules to
create a "mirror image" in your advertising and dealer service pricing that is easily understandable
to your customer. Taking advantage of this new service strategy may greatly increase your
dealership service sales and customer retention while decreasing the frequency of visits and
inconvenience to your customer.
- Review your program to ensure that all vehicles coming in are evaluated for safety and wear
items. Examine all vehicles for tire condition, signs of misalignment, brake wear, exterior lamp
functionality, exhaust condition, A/C cooling performance, SRS or Air Bag MIL, along with Service
Engine Soon or Check Engine indicators. If the Service Engine Soon or Check Engine MIL is
illuminated, it is vital that you inform the customer of the concerns with ignoring the indicator and
what the required repair would cost. In addition to the possibility of increased emissions and
driveability concerns, many customers are unaware that lower gas mileage may also result, with
additional cost to the customer.
- Be complete in your service recommendations. Some sales opportunities are not being fully
pursued nationally. Focus on overlooked but required maintenance that has real benefits to the
customer. Many vehicles are equipped with cabin air filters. If these filters are used beyond
replacement time, they may impede airflow decreasing A/C and heating performance. Make sure
these filters are part of your recommended service. Note that some of our vehicles may not have
been factory equipped but will accept the filters as an accessory.
- Express the value in maintaining the finish quality of the customer's vehicle at the Maintenance I
and II visits. More fully utilize the vehicle prep personnel you already have in place. In today's
world, many people simply ignore the finish of their vehicle, at best infrequently using an automatic
car wash for exterior cleaning. Offer vehicle detailing services in stages from just a wash and wax
to a complete interior cleaning. When paired with the Simplified Maintenance visit, this will increase
customer satisfaction. On return, the customer gets a visibly improved vehicle that will be a source
of pride of ownership along with a vehicle that is now fully maintained. Also, reinforce the improved
resale value of a completely maintained vehicle.
- For customers who clean and maintain the appearance of their vehicles themselves encourage
the use of GM Vehicle Care products. Many customers may have never used GM Car Wash/Wax
Concentrate, GM Cleaner Wax or a longtime product, GM Glass Cleaner, which is a favorite of
many customers who try it just once. If your dealership give samples of these products with new
car purchases, customers may already be sold on the product but not willing to make a special trip
to the dealership. Capitalize on sales at this time. Stock shelves right at the Service counter with
these products and consider instituting compensation programs for Service Consultants who
suggest these products. Many consumers faced with an intimidating wall full of car care products
sold at local auto parts stores may find it comforting to purchase a fully tested product sold by GM
that they know will not harm the finish of their vehicle. We suggest these competitively priced basic
vehicle care products to emphasize:
In USA:
- #12378401 GM Vehicle Care Wash/Wax Concentrate 16 fl. oz. (0.473L)
- #89021822 GM Vehicle Care Glass Cleaner Aerosol 18 oz. (510 g)
- #12377966 GM Vehicle Care Cleaner Wax 16 fl. oz. (0.473L)
- #1052929 GM Vehicle Care Chrome and Wire Wheel Cleaner 16 fl. oz. (0.473L)
- #88861431 GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator 24 fl. oz. (0.710L)
In Canada:
- #10953203 GM Vehicle Care Wash & Wax Concentrate 473 mL
- #992727 GM Glass Cleaner Aerosol 500 g
- #10952905 GM Vehicle Care Liquid Cleaner/Wax 473 mL
- #10953013 GM Vehicle Care Chrome Cleaner and Polish 454 mL
- #10953202 GM Vehicle Care Wheel Brite 473 mL
- #88901678 GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator 473 mL
- Display signboards with the installed price for popular GM Accessories such as running boards
and Tonneau Covers. Customers may not think to ask about these desirable items at the time of a
service visit.
- Finally, take advantage of the GM Goodwrench initiatives (Tire Program, Goodwrench Credit
Card, etc. / Dealer Marketing Association (DMA) Promotions in Canada) to provide the customer
with more reasons to identify your dealership as the best place to go for parts and service.
Remember to utilize ALL of the service aspects you possess in your dealership to satisfy and
provide value to your customer. Many businesses exist profitably as an oil change location, a
vehicle repair facility, or a detailing shop alone. You already have the capabilities of all three and
provide these services with the inherent trust of your customer, under the GM Mark of Excellence.

Overfill - Drain Excess Fluid - Expires with Base Warranty
Models:
2011 Chevrolet Cruze Equipped with Manual Transmission (MF3/MZ0)
Supercede: The illustration for Step 9 in the Service Procedure has been revised to eliminate
confusion on the amount of fluid to remove. Technicians are to remove 0.4L of transmission fluid
after allowing the fluid to drain completely from the plug hole. Please discard all copies of bulletin
11008, issued January 2011.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the
dealership for any reason. It will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to drain excess transmission fluid on certain 2011 model
year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles with manual transmissions (MF3/MZ0). These vehicles may have
received more than the required amount of transmission fluid, which could result in a hard shift and
reduced fuel economy.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in
dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin
Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to the
GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Dealers are to confirm vehicle
eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required Field Actions section in the Global
Warranty system. Not all vehicles may be involved.
Parts Information
PN 55563377, plug, has been temporarily excluded from RIM. A sufficient number of plugs are
being pre-shipped to involved dealers beginning January 21, 2011. The pre-shipped parts can be
identified with control "Cruze-Recall", and will be shipped from Lansing, MI via Overnight Delivery.
After you have received your preshipment of plugs, if you should still need additional parts, you can
order them from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Normal orders should
be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency situation, parts should be
ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.

SERVICE UPDATE
Bulletin No.: 11008A
Date: February 01, 2011
Subject: 11008A - Service Update for Inventory and Customer Vehicles - Transmission Fluid
Overfill - Drain Excess Fluid - Expires with Base Warranty
Models:
2011 Chevrolet Cruze Equipped with Manual Transmission (MF3/MZ0)
Supercede: The illustration for Step 9 in the Service Procedure has been revised to eliminate
confusion on the amount of fluid to remove. Technicians are to remove 0.4L of transmission fluid
after allowing the fluid to drain completely from the plug hole. Please discard all copies of bulletin
11008, issued January 2011.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the
dealership for any reason. It will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to drain excess transmission fluid on certain 2011 model
year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles with manual transmissions (MF3/MZ0). These vehicles may have
received more than the required amount of transmission fluid, which could result in a hard shift and
reduced fuel economy.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in
dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin
Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to the
GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Dealers are to confirm vehicle
eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required Field Actions section in the Global
Warranty system. Not all vehicles may be involved.
Parts Information
PN 55563377, plug, has been temporarily excluded from RIM. A sufficient number of plugs are
being pre-shipped to involved dealers beginning January 21, 2011. The pre-shipped parts can be
identified with control "Cruze-Recall", and will be shipped from Lansing, MI via Overnight Delivery.
After you have received your preshipment of plugs, if you should still need additional parts, you can
order them from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Normal orders should
be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency situation, parts should be

Note: Before performing the ABS Automated Bleed Procedure, first perform a pressure bleed of the
base brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Manual) (See: Hydraulic Brake
System Bleeding (Manual))Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Pressure) (See: Hydraulic Brake
System Bleeding (Pressure)). The automated bleed procedure is recommended when one of the
following conditions exist:
* Base brake system bleeding does not achieve the desired pedal height or feel
* Extreme loss of brake fluid has occurred
* Air ingestion is suspected in the secondary circuits of the brake modulator assembly
The ABS Automated Bleed Procedure uses a scan tool to cycle the system solenoid valves and run
the pump in order to purge any air from the secondary circuits. These circuits are normally closed
off, and are only opened during system initialization at vehicle start up and during ABS operation.
The automated bleed procedure opens these secondary circuits and allows any air trapped in
these circuits to flow out toward the brake corners.
Performing the Automated Bleed Procedure
Caution: The Auto Bleed Procedure may be terminated at any time during the process by pressing
the EXIT button. No further Scan Tool prompts pertaining to the Auto Bleed procedure will be

Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction
Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction
Note:
* Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout
(LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation.
Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Thickness Variation
Measurement).
* Brake rotor assembled lateral runout (LRO) exceeding the maximum allowable specification can
cause thickness variation to develop in the brake rotor over time, usually between 4 800-11 300 km
(3,000-7,000 mi). Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor
Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement).
Review the following acceptable methods for bringing the brake rotor assembled LRO to within
specifications. Determine which method to use for the specific vehicle being repaired.
* The indexing method of correcting assembled LRO is most effective when the LRO specification
is only exceeded by a relatively small amount: 0.025-0.127 mm (0.001-0.005 in). Indexing is used
to achieve the best possible match of high spots to low spots between related components. Refer
to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing).
* The correction plate method of correcting assembled LRO involves the addition of a tapered plate
between the brake rotor and the hub/axle flange. The correction plate method can be used to
correct LRO that exceeds the specification by up to 0.23 mm (0.009 in). Refer to Brake Rotor
Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Correction Plates (See: Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Correction - Correction Plates).
* The on-vehicle brake lathe method is used to bring the LRO to within specifications through
compensating for LRO while refinishing the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Correction - On Vehicle Lathe (See: Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction On Vehicle Lathe).
If the assembled LRO cannot be corrected using these methods, then other components must be
suspected as causing and/or contributing to the LRO concern.

(3,000-7,000 mi). Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor
Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement).
Review the following acceptable methods for bringing the brake rotor assembled LRO to within
specifications. Determine which method to use for the specific vehicle being repaired.
* The indexing method of correcting assembled LRO is most effective when the LRO specification
is only exceeded by a relatively small amount: 0.025-0.127 mm (0.001-0.005 in). Indexing is used
to achieve the best possible match of high spots to low spots between related components. Refer
to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing).
* The correction plate method of correcting assembled LRO involves the addition of a tapered plate
between the brake rotor and the hub/axle flange. The correction plate method can be used to
correct LRO that exceeds the specification by up to 0.23 mm (0.009 in). Refer to Brake Rotor
Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Correction Plates (See: Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Correction - Correction Plates).
* The on-vehicle brake lathe method is used to bring the LRO to within specifications through
compensating for LRO while refinishing the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Correction - On Vehicle Lathe (See: Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction On Vehicle Lathe).
If the assembled LRO cannot be corrected using these methods, then other components must be
suspected as causing and/or contributing to the LRO concern.

Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing
Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing
Warning
Road test a vehicle under safe conditions and while obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt any
maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure to adhere to these precautions could lead
to serious personal injury and vehicle damage.
Burnishing the brake pads and brake rotors is necessary in order to ensure that the braking
surfaces are properly prepared after service has been performed on the disc brake system.
This procedure should be performed whenever the disc brake rotors have been refinished or
replaced, and/or whenever the disc brake pads have been replaced.
1. Select a smooth road with little or no traffic. 2. Accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph).
Note: Use care to avoid overheating the brakes while performing this step.
3. Using moderate to firm pressure, apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Do not allow the
brakes to lock. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until approximately 20 stops have been completed. Allow
sufficient cooling periods between stops in order to properly
burnish the brake pads and rotors.

Special Tools
* CH 41013 - Rotor Resurfacing Kit
* CH 42450-A - Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety
Information/Brake Dust Warning).
Note:
* The disc brake rotors do not require refinishing as part of routine brake system service. New disc
brake rotors do not require refinishing. Do not refinish disc brake rotors in an attempt to correct the
following conditions:
- Brake system noise - squeal, growl, groan
- Uneven and/or premature disc brake pad wear
- Superficial or cosmetic corrosion/rust of the disc brake rotor friction surface
- Scoring of the disc brake rotor friction surface less than the maximum allowable specification
* Before refinishing a brake rotor, the rotor MUST first be checked for adequate thickness to allow
the rotor to be refinished and remain above the minimum allowable thickness after refinish
specification. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Measurement (See: Testing and Inspection/Brake
Rotor Thickness Measurement). Disc brake rotors should only be refinished if they have adequate
thickness to be refinished and if one or more of the following conditions exist:
- Thickness variation in excess of the maximum allowable specification
- Excessive corrosion/rust and/or pitting
- Cracks and/or heat spots
- Excessive blueing discoloration
- Scoring of the disc brake rotor surface in excess of the maximum allowable specification
* Disc brake rotors may need to be refinished as part of the process for correcting brake rotor
assembled lateral runout (LRO) that exceeds the maximum allowable specification.
Note: If the vehicle is equipped with cross-drilled rotors, use a lathe with positive rake tooling. This
setup requires less cutting pressure, which will result in less vibration, and a better surface finish.
Also, use a vibration dampener when cutting. Otherwise, refinish according to the following
instructions.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 4074
Note: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, clean any rust or
contaminants from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may
result in increased assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead to brake
pulsation.
1. Using the CH 42450-A - kit , thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of
the hub/axle flange. 2. Using the CH 41013 - kit , thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the
mating surface and mounting surface of the brake rotor. 3. Inspect the mating surfaces of the
hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining. 4.
Mount the brake rotor to the brake lathe according to the lathe manufacturer's instructions,
ensuring that all mounting attachments and adapters are
clean and free of debris.
5. Ensure that any vibration dampening attachments are securely in place. 6. With the brake lathe
running, slowly bring in the cutting tools until they just contact the brake rotor friction surfaces. 7.
Observe the witness mark on the brake rotor. If the witness mark extends approximately
three-quarters or more of the way around the brake rotor
friction surface on each side, the brake rotor is properly mounted to the lathe.
8. If the witness mark does not extend three-quarters or more of the way around the brake rotor,
re-mount the rotor to the lathe. 9. Following the brake lathe manufacturer's instructions, refinish the
brake rotor.
10. After each successive cut, inspect the brake rotor thickness. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness
Measurement (See: Testing and Inspection/Brake
Rotor Thickness Measurement).
11. If at any time the brake rotor exceeds the minimum allowable thickness after refinish
specification, the brake rotor must be replaced. Refer to Front
Brake Rotor Replacement (See: Removal and Replacement/Front Brake Rotor Replacement)
and/or Rear Brake Rotor Replacement (See: Removal and Replacement/Rear Brake Rotor
Replacement).
12. After refinishing the brake rotor, use the following procedure in order to obtain the desired
non-directional finish:
1. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional
finish. 2. Using moderate pressure, apply the non-directional finish:
* If the lathe is equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with 120-grit aluminum
oxide sandpaper.
* If the lathe is not equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with a sanding
block and 150-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper.
3. After applying a non-directional finish, clean each friction surface of the brake rotor with
denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved brake
cleaner.
13. Remove the brake rotor from the brake lathe. 14. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake
rotor to ensure optimum performance of the disc brakes. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Measurement (See: Testing and Inspection/Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout

Note: Before performing the ABS Automated Bleed Procedure, first perform a pressure bleed of the
base brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Manual) (See: Hydraulic Brake
System Bleeding (Manual))Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Pressure) (See: Hydraulic Brake
System Bleeding (Pressure)). The automated bleed procedure is recommended when one of the
following conditions exist:
* Base brake system bleeding does not achieve the desired pedal height or feel
* Extreme loss of brake fluid has occurred
* Air ingestion is suspected in the secondary circuits of the brake modulator assembly
The ABS Automated Bleed Procedure uses a scan tool to cycle the system solenoid valves and run
the pump in order to purge any air from the secondary circuits. These circuits are normally closed
off, and are only opened during system initialization at vehicle start up and during ABS operation.
The automated bleed procedure opens these secondary circuits and allows any air trapped in
these circuits to flow out toward the brake corners.
Performing the Automated Bleed Procedure
Caution: The Auto Bleed Procedure may be terminated at any time during the process by pressing
the EXIT button. No further Scan Tool prompts pertaining to the Auto Bleed procedure will be
given. After exiting the bleed procedure, relieve bleed pressure and disconnect bleed equipment

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 (1). 5. Fill the master cylinder
reservoir to at least the half-way point with brake fluid. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and
Sealers (See:
Specifications) for the recommended brake fluid.
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 in), 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 (1).
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.

the brake fluid level is at or below the half-full point during routine fluid checks, the brake system
should be inspected for wear and possible
brake fluid leaks.
3. If the brake fluid level is at or below the half-full point during routine fluid checks, and an
inspection of the brake system did not reveal wear or
brake fluid leaks, the brake fluid may be topped-off up to the maximum-fill level.
4. If brake system service was just completed, the brake fluid may be topped-off up to the
maximum-fill level. 5. If the brake fluid level is above the half-full point, adding brake fluid is not
recommended under normal conditions. 6. If brake fluid is to be added to the master cylinder

5. Perform a Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration.
Note Do not apply the brake pedal during the brake pedal position (BPP) sensor calibration
procedure. Any movement of the brake pedal during this procedure will cause the calibration
procedure to fail. If this occurs, the sensor calibration must be repeated. Brake pedal position
(BPP) sensor calibration must be performed after the BAS switch or body control module (BCM)
have been serviced. The calibration procedure will set the sensor home value. This value is used
by the BCM to determine the action of the driver applying the brake system and to provide this
information to the vehicle subsystems via serial data.
1. Apply and slowly release the brake pedal two times. 2. Apply the parking brake. 3. Place the
transmission gear selector in the "P" PARK position. 4. Connect MDI and GDS.

Key and Lock Cylinder Coding
Ignition Lock Cylinder
The ignition lock cylinder uses 8 key cut positions, 1-8. The tumbler positions are staggered from
side to side, four on one side and four on the other.
Note: The tumblers (5) are not self-retaining and must be held in place if the key is not fully inserted
into the lock cylinder or until the cylinder (2) is assembled into the case assembly (8).
1. Hold the cylinder assembly (2) so that the retainer pin pocket is facing upward. 2. Insert one
tumbler spring (4) into each of the 4 spring wells. 3. The first tumbler (5) to be loaded will be the
first key cut position, the first number in the key code. Install the first tumbler in the slot nearest the
head of the lock cylinder. Install the remaining tumblers following the key code into the slots at the
key cut positions 3, 5 and 7. It may be necessary to move the sidebar (already pre-assembled into
the cylinder assembly) out slightly to fully install the tumbler into the correct slot.
4. Check the correct loading by holding the tumblers (5) in position and fully inserting the key into
the cylinder assembly (2). All tumblers and the
sidebar should be flushed with the outside diameter of the cylinder assembly body.
5. Rotate the cylinder assembly (2) so that the retention lug is facing upward and then remove the
key, always holding all tumblers so they do not fall
out.
6. Insert one tumbler spring (4) into each of the 4 spring wells. 7. The first tumbler (5) to be loaded
will be the second key cut position, the second number in the key code. Install the tumbler in the
slot nearest the
head of the lock cylinder. Install the remaining tumblers following the key code into the slots at the
key cut positions 4, 6 and 8.
8. Check for the correct loading by holding the tumblers (5) in position and fully inserting the key
into the cylinder assembly (2). 9. Lightly lubricate the tumbler (5) surfaces and the small detent
recess on the side of the cylinder assembly (2) using the lubrication provided.
10. With the key fully inserted, rotate the cylinder assembly so that the side with the retaining pin
(7) pocket is facing upward. 11. Insert the retaining pin spring (6) and then retaining pin (7) into the
pocket located behind the 4 tumblers. The retaining pin spring and retaining
pin are not self-retaining and must be held in place until the cylinder is installed into the case
assembly (8).
12. With the key fully inserted into the cylinder assembly and the retaining pin (7) fully depressed
into the cylinder, align the retainer lug on the
cylinder with the groove on the inside diameter of the case assembly (8). This groove extends the
full length of the case assembly.
13. Install the cylinder assembly into the case assembly (8) being very careful to hold the retainer
pin spring (6) and retainer pin (7) in the cylinder
until they enter into the case assembly. With the cylinder fully inserted into the case assembly,
rotate the cylinder counterclockwise until the retainer pin (7) snaps into place limiting the rotation of
the cylinder assembly.
14. With the cylinder assembly in the Off-Lock position, insert the detent rod (1) into the hole in the
side of the case assembly (8). Install the
anti-rattle spring (3) into the case assembly over the detent spring. The anti-rattle spring should
capture the detent ball and spring in the case assembly. Make sure both ends of the anti-rattle
spring (3) are fully seated, pressed into, the case assembly.
15. With the cylinder assembly in the Off-Lock position, insert the detent rod (1) into the hole in the
side of the case assembly (8). Install the
anti-rattle spring (3) into the case assembly over the detent spring. The anti-rattle spring should
capture the detent ball and spring in the case assembly. Make sure both ends of the anti-rattle
spring (3) are fully seated, pressed into, the case assembly.

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

EL-35616-200 - Test Light - Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A Digital Multimeter
(DMM) should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The EL-35616-200 - kit is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an
attached pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.

Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J-25070 - Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J-25070 - heat
gun.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4492
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. In addition, circuit cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

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

Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Short to Ground)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Continuity)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General

If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the
EL-39200 - digital multimeter (DMM). This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without
having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the DMM can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a
suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4498
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with
a Digital Multimeter) for information on connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Select the voltage range feature of the DMM in
order to select the desired voltage range.
Note: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep). 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection,
either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value. 9. Determine the
difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
EL-35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. 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 pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4499
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the EL-35616 - kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal
deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center. Use EL-35616 - kit to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use EL-35616 - kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
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/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly
different between a known good terminal and the
suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient
current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to
test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4500
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of
electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc.-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc.-These
accessories may create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would
disappear when the accessory is not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Checking Aftermarket Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are
already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (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 Ohms position.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4501
4. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a
short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.

Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Digital Multimeter (DMM) Basic Requirements
Service information is validated using digital multimeters that meet or exceed the following
requirements. Using a multimeter that does not meet these basic requirements may give inaccurate
readings which could lead to an incorrect diagnosis.
Display and Settings
1. Four digits displayed 2. Voltage, current, resistance, frequency, diode test settings, and min-max
function 3. Display positive and negative values
Voltage
1. Have at least 10 Mohm input impedance 2. Test a DC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V. 3. Test an
AC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V.
Current
1. Test a DC current range of 0.1 µA-10 A. 2. Test an AC current range of 0.1 µA-10 A.
Resistance
Test a resistance range of 0.1 ohm-40 Mohm and displays infinite for a value greater than 40
Mohm (O.L. (Over-load))
Frequency
Test for a frequency range of 0.5 Hz-199 k Hz
Diode Test
1. Apply at least 1 mA when performing the diode bias test 2. Display the break over voltage drop
(0-3 V) of a forward biased diode
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4502
3. Display infinite (O.L. (Over-load)) when a diode is reverse biased
Min-Max Readings
1. Can update at a 25 ms sample rate 2. Saves and displays minimum and maximum values
Note: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the engine control module
(ECM), should only be tested with a 10 MOhms or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the
EL-39200.
The DMM instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM.
This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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.

Special Tools
EL 35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit , ensure the terminal test
adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal
test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal
in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the
EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the EL-38125-580
GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view
for terminal size.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4519
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4520
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.
* FCI connectors may have the FCI logo on their connectors. The logo is the letters FCI with an "A"
above it.

Cable Seal Terminals
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2.
Remove the old seal. 3. Apply the correct cable seal, per the wire gauge size, from the kit. Slide the
seal back along the wire to enable removal of the insulation. 4. To minimize wire loss, remove only
the insulation required. 5. Using the connector end view, determine the correct crimp tool and crimp
jaw. 6. Align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 7. Position the stripped wire and seal in
the terminal. 8. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 9. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the
seal and the cable.
10. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.

1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2. To
minimize wire loss, remove only the insulation required. 3. Position the stripped wire in the terminal.
4. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 5. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the cable. 6. Solder
all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.
Micro-Pack 100W Size Terminal
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. 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
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
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 a 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 if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
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 Digital Multimeter (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 gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the
sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on
GMLAN connectors and terminals.
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A terminated lead can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the appropriate connector
repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must
obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and
EL-38125-10 - tool. For wiring repair, refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4612
Note: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration would be
any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and turbocharged
engines.
Items Required
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* Terminated leads or pigtails
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or
larger gauge size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape
that you remove during the repair.
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing.
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Note: High temperature areas would be areas located near exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the
specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components,
such as connectors and terminals.
SIR/SRS Connector Repair (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin)
Note: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals.
Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. Terminated leads can be
used to replace damaged terminals when replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

* J 38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except Tefzel
and coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there is special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 to regional wiring gauge size.
- 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the
length of wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4615
tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
6. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp
tool has four nests, one for each color.
7. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
8. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 9. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4, 6 and 15 for the opposite end of the splice.

10. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 11. Start in the middle and
gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:
1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 2. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 3. Gradually move the heat from
the center 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.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
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 seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

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 instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 ohm in a ground or low reference circuit they are not
recommended to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the
circuit is good when there is as much as 20-30 ohm present, while a high impedance test lamp can
light with up to 200 ohm present in the circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used
when validating a ground or low reference circuit continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low
reference continuity testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test
can fail on a good circuit. This may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component
replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM
continuity reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a
ground or low reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal,
will have the highest risk of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground
reference point. The best ground test points would be a control module housing (if the control
modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal
frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than where the negative battery cable is
attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 ohm with
the ignition ON, and drop to 15-25 ohm after the ignition is turned OFF. The reading will drop below
10 ohm after 30-40 seconds, then below 5 ohm after 60 seconds. Once the vehicle completely
goes to sleep (generally 3-10 minutes) the reading will drop below 0.3 ohm.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground
or low reference circuit:
* Ignition OFF
* Key out of the ignition switch (when not equipped with keyless entry and remote start)
* Retained Accessory Power (RAP) OFF (open and close the driver door after ignition OFF)
* Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
* Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be
disconnected from the DLC)
* All entry doors closed
* Headlamps OFF (auto headlamps disabled)
* Any delay lighting OFF
* HVAC after blow OFF
* Any accessory that can work when the ignition is OFF
* Wait up to 60 seconds (after all other listed conditions are met)
Activating the DOOR LOCK function with a key fob can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid
ground or low reference continuity test result.

* Diagnostic probe tool
* Terminal release tool
* Terminal/terminated lead part numbers
Note: Not using the proper test kit probe may cause damage to the terminal(s) that are probed.
2. Determine if a terminal is damaged.
* Locate the diagnostic probe tool from the connector end view. The connector end view describes
the color and part number to help the technician find and use the correct tool.
* Connect the probe tool to the Digital Multimeter.
* Insert the probe tool into the cavity and follow the procedures from the Troubleshooting with a
Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with a Digital
Multimeter).
3. Disconnect the connector body to perform the repair. 4. Use the following procedure to remove
the terminal from the connector body.
Note: Several procedures for specific connector bodies are called out in the Wiring Repairs section.
* The terminal position assurance (TPA) and connector position assurance (CPA) should be
removed before releasing the terminal for the connector body.
* Look at the connector end view to locate the cavity of the damaged terminal and find the proper
terminal release tool from the terminal release tool kit.
Note: Using the incorrect terminal release tool can damage the connector body.
Note: Some terminals have a lever that must be disengaged before the terminal can be released.
* Insert the terminal release tool into the cavity.
5. Gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. 6. Repair the terminal by following the
Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminated Lead Repair) (See: General Electrical Diagnostic

* EL-38125-580 - Terminal Release Tool Kit
* J-38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* EL-35616 - Connector Test Adapter Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).

Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used
throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures up to 150°C. The length of the wire is
450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop

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

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.

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).

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
EL-35616-200 - Test Light - Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A Digital Multimeter
(DMM) should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The EL-35616-200 - kit is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an
attached pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.

Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions

Special Tools
J-25070 - Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J-25070 - heat
gun.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5067
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. In addition, circuit cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.

Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Special Tools
EL-39200 - Digital Multimeter
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Short to Ground)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Continuity)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for a Short to
Voltage)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the
EL-39200 - digital multimeter (DMM). This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without
having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the DMM can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a
suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5073
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with
a Digital Multimeter) for information on connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Select the voltage range feature of the DMM in
order to select the desired voltage range.
Note: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep). 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection,
either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value. 9. Determine the
difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
EL-35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. 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 pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5074
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the EL-35616 - kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal
deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center. Use EL-35616 - kit to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use EL-35616 - kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
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/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly
different between a known good terminal and the
suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient
current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to
test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5075
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of
electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc.-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc.-These
accessories may create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would
disappear when the accessory is not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Checking Aftermarket Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are
already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground

The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (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 Ohms position.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5076
4. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a
short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.

Min-Max Readings
1. Can update at a 25 ms sample rate 2. Saves and displays minimum and maximum values
Note: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the engine control module
(ECM), should only be tested with a 10 MOhms or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the
EL-39200.
The DMM instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM.
This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Probing Electrical Connectors).
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Special Tools
EL 35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit , ensure the terminal test
adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal
test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal
in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the
EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the EL-38125-580
GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view
for terminal size.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

Terminal Removal Procedure
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5106
The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you
have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector
uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second
design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.
1. Disconnect the connector from the component.

Note: The first step for all terminal repairs is to find the connector end view in SI.
Cable Seal Terminals
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2.
Remove the old seal. 3. Apply the correct cable seal, per the wire gauge size, from the kit. Slide the
seal back along the wire to enable removal of the insulation. 4. To minimize wire loss, remove only
the insulation required. 5. Using the connector end view, determine the correct crimp tool and crimp
jaw. 6. Align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 7. Position the stripped wire and seal in
the terminal. 8. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 9. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the
seal and the cable.
10. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.
Unsealed Terminals
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2. To
minimize wire loss, remove only the insulation required. 3. Position the stripped wire in the terminal.
4. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 5. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the cable. 6. Solder
all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.
Micro-Pack 100W Size Terminal
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.
Micro 0.64 Size Terminal
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J-38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J-38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp

both the wire and the insulation at the same time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases.

7. Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. 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
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
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 a 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 if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
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 Digital Multimeter (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 gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the
sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on
GMLAN connectors and terminals.
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A terminated lead can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the appropriate connector
repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must
obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and
EL-38125-10 - tool. For wiring repair, refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.

Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5187
Note: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration would be
any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and turbocharged
engines.
Items Required
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* Terminated leads or pigtails
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or
larger gauge size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape
that you remove during the repair.
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing.
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Note: High temperature areas would be areas located near exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

* J 38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low resistance contact integrity for
these sensitive, low energy circuits.
The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the
specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components,
such as connectors and terminals.
SIR/SRS Connector Repair (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin)
Note: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals.
Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. Terminated leads can be
used to replace damaged terminals when replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
* EL-38125-10 - Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except Tefzel
and coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there is special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 to regional wiring gauge size.
- 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the
length of wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5190
tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
6. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp
tool has four nests, one for each color.
7. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
8. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 9. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4, 6 and 15 for the opposite end of the splice.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5191
10. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 11. Start in the middle and
gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:
1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 2. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 3. Gradually move the heat from
the center 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.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
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 seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

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 instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 ohm in a ground or low reference circuit they are not
recommended to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the
circuit is good when there is as much as 20-30 ohm present, while a high impedance test lamp can
light with up to 200 ohm present in the circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used
when validating a ground or low reference circuit continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low
reference continuity testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test
can fail on a good circuit. This may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component
replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM
continuity reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a
ground or low reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal,
will have the highest risk of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground
reference point. The best ground test points would be a control module housing (if the control
modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal
frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than where the negative battery cable is
attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 ohm with
the ignition ON, and drop to 15-25 ohm after the ignition is turned OFF. The reading will drop below
10 ohm after 30-40 seconds, then below 5 ohm after 60 seconds. Once the vehicle completely
goes to sleep (generally 3-10 minutes) the reading will drop below 0.3 ohm.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground
or low reference circuit:
* Ignition OFF
* Key out of the ignition switch (when not equipped with keyless entry and remote start)
* Retained Accessory Power (RAP) OFF (open and close the driver door after ignition OFF)
* Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
* Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be
disconnected from the DLC)
* All entry doors closed
* Headlamps OFF (auto headlamps disabled)
* Any delay lighting OFF
* HVAC after blow OFF
* Any accessory that can work when the ignition is OFF
* Wait up to 60 seconds (after all other listed conditions are met)
Activating the DOOR LOCK function with a key fob can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid
ground or low reference continuity test result.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5196
* Diagnostic probe tool
* Terminal release tool
* Terminal/terminated lead part numbers
Note: Not using the proper test kit probe may cause damage to the terminal(s) that are probed.
2. Determine if a terminal is damaged.
* Locate the diagnostic probe tool from the connector end view. The connector end view describes
the color and part number to help the technician find and use the correct tool.
* Connect the probe tool to the Digital Multimeter.
* Insert the probe tool into the cavity and follow the procedures from the Troubleshooting with a
Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with a Digital
Multimeter).
3. Disconnect the connector body to perform the repair. 4. Use the following procedure to remove
the terminal from the connector body.
Note: Several procedures for specific connector bodies are called out in the Wiring Repairs section.
* The terminal position assurance (TPA) and connector position assurance (CPA) should be
removed before releasing the terminal for the connector body.
* Look at the connector end view to locate the cavity of the damaged terminal and find the proper
terminal release tool from the terminal release tool kit.
Note: Using the incorrect terminal release tool can damage the connector body.
Note: Some terminals have a lever that must be disengaged before the terminal can be released.
* Insert the terminal release tool into the cavity.
5. Gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. 6. Repair the terminal by following the
Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminated Lead Repair) (See: General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminated Lead
Repair))Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminal Repair) ( See: General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminal Repair)) procedure.
7. Insert the repaired terminal back into the cavity. Repeat the diagnostic procedure to verify the
repair and reconnect the connector bodies.

Special Tools
* EL-38125-10 - Splice Sleeve Crimp Tool
* EL-38125-580 - Terminal Release Tool Kit
* J-38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* EL-35616 - Connector Test Adapter Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Note: All repairs near the engine manifold, turbo engine and all exhaust pipes should follow the
High Temperature Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/High Temperature Wiring
Repairs) procedures.
Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used
throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures up to 150°C. The length of the wire is
450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop

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

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.

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,

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

Important The M6 conductive rivet stud as shown, can accommodate a panel thickness range of
0.7-4.2 mm (0.03-0.17 in). If there are layers of sheet metal, they should be touching without any
air gaps to ensure a good ground.
5. Select a M6 conductive rivet stud. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin.
Note Use the GE-50317 rivet stud tool kit.
6. Place the M6 conductive rivet stud (1) in the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole. Assemble the rivet stud tool
(2) with the groove and flare side facing the rivet
stud, then the washer and the M6 nut (3).
7. Using a wrench on the rivet stud tool, and a socket on the M6 nut, secure the M6 conductive
rivet stud. 8. Ensure the rivet stud is securely fastened, WITHOUT ANY detectable movement. 9.
Completely wrap the threads of the rivet stud with painters tape or equivalent.
Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the
installation of the ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and
corrosion-free electrical ground.
10. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and
Repair in SI. 11. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective
material applied to the rivet stud threads. 12. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet
stud threads. 13. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet
stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 14. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

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.

Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being extensively revised to provide technicians and warranty
administrators with an all inclusive guide for wheel alignments. PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT
SERVICE. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-07-009B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Purpose
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide retail, wholesale and fleet personnel with General Motors'
warranty service requirements and recommendations for customer concerns related to wheel
alignment. For your convenience, this bulletin updates and centralizes all of GM's Standard Wheel
Alignment Service Procedures, Policy Guidelines and bulletins on wheel alignment warranty
service.
Important PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING
YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT SERVICE.
The following five (5) key steps are a summary of this bulletin and are REQUIRED in completing a
successful wheel alignment service.
1. Verify the vehicle is in an Original Equipment condition for curb weight, tires, wheels, suspension
and steering configurations. Vehicles
modified in any of these areas are not covered for wheel alignment warranty.
2. Review the customer concern relative to "Normal Operation" definitions. 3. Verify that vehicle is
within the "Mileage Policy" range. 4. Document wheel alignment warranty claims appropriately for
labor operations E2000 and E2020.
The following information must be documented or attached to the repair order:
- Customer concern in detail
- What corrected the customer concern?
- If a wheel alignment is performed:
- Consult SI for proper specifications.
- Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings.
- Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin)
5. Use the proper wheel alignment equipment (preferred with print-out capability), process and the
appropriate calibration maintenance schedules.
Important If it is determined that a wheel alignment is necessary under warranty, use the proper
labor code for the repair. E2000 for Steering Wheel Angle and/or Front Toe set or E2020 for Wheel
Alignment Check/Adjust includes Caster, Camber and Toe set (Wheel alignment labor time for
other component repairs is to be charged to the component that causes a wheel alignment
operation.).
The following flowchart is to help summarize the information detailed in this bulletin and should be
used whenever a wheel alignment is performed.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 5589
Verify Original Equipment Condition of the Vehicle
- Verify that Original Equipment Tires and Wheels or Official GM Accessory Tires and Wheels are
on the vehicle.
- Verify that aftermarket suspension "Lift" or "Lowering" Kits or other suspension alterations have
NOT been done to the vehicle.
- Check for accidental damage to the vehicle; for example, severe pothole or curb impacts, collision
damage that may have affected the wheel alignment of the vehicle; e.g., engine cradles,
suspension control arms, axles, wheels, wheel covers, tires may show evidence of damage/impact.
- Check to be sure vehicle has seen "Normal Use" rather than abuse; e.g., very aggressive driving
may show up by looking at the tires and condition of the vehicle.
- Check for other additional equipment items that may significantly affect vehicle mass such as
large tool boxes, campers, snow plow packages (without the snowplow RPO), etc., especially in
trucks and cutaway/incomplete vehicles. Significant additional mass can affect trim height and
wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed
semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of
these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with
equipment such as the above.)
Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy"
Possible Concerns
The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service:
1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of
effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle's straight heading."
Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle
Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull
concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare
circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered
"Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that
this is "Normal Operation."
Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a
level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is
"steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel.
2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined
as the steering wheel angle (clocking)
deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road.
3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the
shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and
should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of
the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled
mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the
customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from
aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition.
Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is
"normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can
show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance
and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance
records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are
being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be
performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below.

Figure 3: Tire Shoulder View Example 2 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Figure 4: Detail Side View of Tire Shoulder Area - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Important When a wheel alignment is deemed necessary for tire wear, be sure to document on the
repair order, in as much detail as possible, the severity and type of tire wear (e.g., severe center
wear or severe inside or outside shoulder wear) and the position of the tire on the vehicle (RF, LF,
LR, RR). Please note the customer's concern with the wear such as, noise, appearance, wear life,
etc. A field product report with pictures of the tire wear condition is recommended. Refer to
Corporate Bulletin Number 02-00-89-002J and #07-00-89-036C.
4. Other repairs that affect wheel alignment; e.g., certain component replacement such as
suspension control arm replacement, engine cradle
adjustment/replace, steering gear replacement, steering tie rod replace, suspension strut/shock,
steering knuckle, etc. may require a wheel alignment.
Important If other components or repairs are identified as affecting the wheel alignment, policy calls
for the wheel alignment labor time to be charged to the replaced/repaired component's labor
operation time rather than the wheel alignment labor operations.
Important Vibration type customer concerns are generally NOT due to wheel alignment except in
the rare cases; e.g., extreme diagonal wear across the tread. In general, wheel alignments are
NOT to be performed as an investigation/correction for vibration concerns.
"Normal Operation" Conditions
Vehicle Lead/Pull Due to Road Crown or Slope:
As part of "Normal Operation," vehicles will follow side-to-side or left to right road crown or slope.
Be sure to verify from the customer the types of roads they are driving as they may not recognize
the influence of road crown on vehicle lead/pull and steering wheel angle. If a vehicle requires
significant steering effort to prevent it from "climbing" the road crown there may be an issue to be
looked into further.
Important
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 5591
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
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 5592
available, measurements may also be clearly and legibly handwritten into the Wheel Alignment
Repair Order Questionnaire attached to this bulletin.
4. Attach the Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire below along with the print-out of
"Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements to
the Repair Order and retain for use by GM.
Wheel Alignment Equipment and Process
Wheel alignments must be performed with a quality machine that will give accurate results when
performing checks. "External Reference" (image-based camera technology) is preferred. Please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-00-89-029B: General Motors Dealership Critical Equipment
Requirements and Recommendations.
Requirements:
- Computerized four wheel alignment system.
- Computer capable of printing before and after alignment reports.
- Computer capable of time and date stamp printout.
- Racking system must have jacking capability
- Racking system must be capable of level to 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
- Appropriate wheel stops and safety certification
- Built-in turn plates and slip plates
- Wheel clamps capable of attaching to 20" or larger wheels
- Racking capable of accepting any GM passenger car or light duty truck
- Operator properly trained and ASE-certified (U.S. only) in wheel alignment
Recommendations:
Racking should have front and rear jacking capability.
Equipment Maintenance and Calibration:
Alignment machines must be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information. Most
manufacturers recommend the following:
- Alignment machines with "internal reference" sensors should be checked (and calibrated, if
necessary) every six months.
- Alignment machines with "external reference" (image-based camera technology) should be
checked (and calibrated, if necessary) once a year.
- Racks must be kept level to within 1.6 mm (1/16 in).
- If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged in some way,
check the calibration immediately.
Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration
schedule.
Wheel Alignment Process
When performing wheel alignment measurement and/or adjustment, the following steps should be
taken:
Preliminary Steps:
1. Verify that the vehicle has a full tank of fuel (compensate as necessary). 2. Inspect the wheels
and the tires for damage. 3. Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. 4.
Inspect the wheel bearings for excessive play. 5. Inspect all suspension and steering parts for
looseness, wear, or damage. 6. Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to
stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. 7. Inspect the vehicle trim height. 8. Compensate
for frame angle on targeted vehicles (refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI).
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment angles. However, if the
wheel alignment angles are not within the range of specifications, adjust the wheel alignment to the
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI. Give consideration to excess loads,
such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. Follow the wheel alignment equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
Measure/Adjust:
Important Prior to making any adjustments to wheel alignment on a vehicle, technicians must verify
that the wheel alignment specifications loaded into their wheel alignment machine are up-to-date
by comparing these to the wheel alignment specifications for the appropriate model and model year
in SI. Using incorrect and/or outdated specifications may result in unnecessary adjustments,
irregular and/or premature tire wear and repeat customer concerns
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 5593
Important When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear
wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front wheel alignment angles.
Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles:
1. Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front
and the rear bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment
angles and record the readings.
If necessary, adjust the wheel alignment to vehicle specification and record the before and after
measurements. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI.
Important Technicians must refer to SI for the correct wheel alignment specifications. SI is the only
source of GM wheel alignment specifications that is kept up-to-date throughout the year.
Test drive vehicle to ensure proper repair.

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 (-). 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.

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.

Alignment: Description and Operation Thrust Angles Description
Thrust Angles Description
The front wheels aim or steer the vehicle. The rear wheels control tracking. This tracking action
relates to the thrust angle (3). The thrust angle is the path that the rear wheels take. Ideally, the
thrust angle is geometrically aligned with the body centerline (2).
In the illustration, toe-in is shown on the left rear wheel, moving the thrust line (1) off center. The
resulting deviation from the centerline is the thrust angle.
If the thrust angle is not set properly the vehicle may "dog track", the steering wheel may not be
centered or it could be perceived as a bent axle. Thrust angle can be checked during a wheel
alignment.
Positive thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the right hand side (RHS) of the vehicle.
Negative thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the left hand side (LHS) of the vehicle.
If the thrust angle is out of specification, moving the axle to body relationship will change the thrust
angle reading.
If the vehicle is out in the Positive (+) direction-moving the RHS forward and/or LHS rearward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.
If the vehicle is out in the Negative (-) direction-moving the RHS rearward and/or LHS forward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.

Alignment: Description and Operation Lead/Pull Description
Lead/Pull Description
At a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at
the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight path.
Note: Vehicles will tend to lead/pull in the direction of the road slope as part of normal operation.
Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors:
* Road slope
* Variability in tire construction
* Wheel alignment (front cross caster and camber)
* Unbalanced steering gear
* Electronic power steering (EPS) steering position and torque sensors not calibrated correctly, if
equipped

Torque Steer Description
Torque Steer Description
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Description and Operation >
Camber Description > Page 5606
A vehicle pulls or leads in one direction during hard acceleration. A vehicle pulls or leads in the
other direction during deceleration.
The following factors may cause torque steer to be more apparent on a particular vehicle:
* A slightly smaller diameter tire on the right front increases a right torque lead. Inspect the front
tires for differences in the brand, the construction, or the size. If the tires appear to be similar,
change the front tires from side-to-side and retest the vehicle. Tire and wheel assemblies have the
most significant effect on torque steer correction.
* A large difference in the right and left front tire pressure
* Left-to-right differences in the front view axle angle may cause significant steering pull in a
vehicle. The pull will be to the side with the most downward sloping axle from the differential to the
wheels. Axles typically slope downward from the differential. The slope of the transaxle pan to level
ground may be used as an indication of bias axle angles. The side with the higher transaxle pan
(shown on the left side of the illustration) has the most downward sloping axle angle.
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.
Wander Description
Wander Description
Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external
disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause
the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius.
A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive
vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub
radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected
geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension.

Alignment: Testing and Inspection
Trim Height Inspection
Trim Height Measurement
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause the vehicle to bottom 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:
* Set the tire pressure to the specifications shown on the certification label. Refer to Vehicle
Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label (See: Application and ID/Vehicle
Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft and Service Parts ID Label).
Note: One U.S. gallon of gasoline weighs approximately 6.5 lbs. One liter of gasoline weighs
approximately 0.78 kg.
* Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank.
* Make sure the passenger and rear compartments are empty, except to the spare tire.
* Make sure the vehicle is on a flat and level surface, such as an alignment rack.
* Check that all the vehicle doors are securely closed.
* Check that the vehicle hood and rear deck lid are securely closed.
* Make sure the vehicle is free of ice, snow and mud accumulation.
* Check for installed after market accessories or modifications that could affect trim height
measurement:
- Larger or smaller than production wheels and tires.
- Lifting or lowering kits
- Wheel opening flares or ground affects
Measuring the P and R Dimension
Measurement Definitions
P Height: The vertical distance from the ground to the top of the wheel opening through the
centerline of the front wheel.
R Height: The vertical distance from the ground to the top of the wheel opening through the
centerline of the rear wheel.
Use the following procedures to measure the P and R dimensions:
Note: *
Measure from the center of the wheel well opening to the ground.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

Page 5608
* The left and right P and R height differences should be no more than 10 mm (0.39 in).
1. Push the front bumper down a minimum of 25 mm (1 in) , and release. Perform this step three
times. 2. Measure and record the trim height per the "Measurement Definitions" above. 3. Lift the
bumper up a minimum of 25 mm (1 in) , and release. Perform this step three times. 4. Measure and
record the trim height per the "Measurement Definitions" above. 5. The true P height measurement
is the average of the measurements taken in step 2 and 4. Refer to Trim Height Specifications
(See:
Suspension/Specifications/Mechanical Specifications/Trim Height Specifications).
6. Repeat the above steps at the rear of the vehicle for the R heights. 7. If the P and R heights are
outside of the specifications, measure the Z and D heights.
Measuring the Z Dimension
Measurement Definitions
The Z Height: The vertical distance from the cradle side rail bottom surface (2) accessed through
hole in the engine shield to the center of the ball joint cup (1).
Use the following procedures to measure the Z dimensions:
Note: The left and right Z height differences should be no more than 10 mm (0.39 in).
1. Push the front bumper down a minimum of 25 mm (1 in). Perform this step three times. 2.
Measure and record the trim height per the "Measurement Definitions" above. 3. Lift the front

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

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

SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer to SIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations).
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose air bags to temperatures above 65°C (149°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 92 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any air bag
* Driver steering wheel air bag coil
* Any impact sensor
* Seat belt anchor and/or retractor pretensioners
* Passenger presence module and/or occupant sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note: The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Restraint Systems/Air Bag
Systems/Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams) or Electrical Center Identification Views (See:
Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse/Application and ID).
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Column > Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming

4. Wait 1 minute before working on the system.
Enabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Place the ignition in the OFF position. 2. Install the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to
SIR Schematics (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams
) or Electrical Center Identification Views (See: Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit
Breakers/Fuse/Application and ID).
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The AIR BAG indicator will flash then turn OFF. 4.
Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle if the AIR BAG warning indicator does not operate
as described. Refer to Diagnostic System
Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic
System Check - Vehicle).
Disabling Procedure - Negative Battery Cable
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position. 3. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. Refer to
Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection (See: Starting and
Charging/Battery/Battery Cable/Negative/Service and Repair/Battery Negative Cable
Disconnection and Connection).
4. Wait 1 minute before working on system.
Enabling Procedure - Negative Battery Cable
1. Place the ignition in the OFF position. 2. Connect the negative battery cable to the battery. Refer
to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection (See: Starting and
Charging/Battery/Battery Cable/Negative/Service and Repair/Battery Negative Cable
Disconnection and Connection).
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The AIR BAG indicator will flash then turn OFF. 4.
Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle if the AIR BAG warning indicator does not operate
as described. Refer to Diagnostic System
Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic

Dealer Recall Responsibility - For US (US States, Territories, and Possessions)
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a
recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has
tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired
within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent
vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for
depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made
to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as
possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
Dealer Recall Responsibility - All
All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this recall must be held and
inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall bulletin before customers take
possession of these vehicles.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of
mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which
there is no customer information indicated on the dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer.
Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions
contained in this bulletin. A copy of the customer letter is provided in this bulletin for your use in
contacting customers. Recall follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the
customer may not as yet have received the notification letter.
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your
dealership for service in the future, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the recall
correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers will not have a report
available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration
Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up
necessary to complete this recall is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries.
Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow-up necessary to complete this
recall.
Parts Information
Parts required to complete this recall are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care and
Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" before ordering parts. Normal

inconvenience when a vehicle requires a repair that is covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranties. The availability of courtesy transportation to customers whose vehicles are within the
warranty coverage period and involved in a product program is very important in maintaining
customer satisfaction. Dealers are to ensure that these customers understand that shuttle service
or some other form of courtesy transportation is available and will be provided at no charge.
Dealers should refer to the General Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual for Courtesy
Transportation guidelines.
Warranty Transaction Information
Submit a transaction using the table below.
Customer Notification
General Motors will notify customers of this recall on their vehicle (see copy of customer letter
included with this bulletin).
Dealer Recall Responsibility - For US (US States, Territories, and Possessions)
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a
recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has
tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired
within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent
vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for
depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made
to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as
possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
Dealer Recall Responsibility - All
All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this recall must be held and
inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall bulletin before customers take
possession of these vehicles.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of
mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which
there is no customer information indicated on the dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer.
Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions
contained in this bulletin. A copy of the customer letter is provided in this bulletin for your use in
contacting customers. Recall follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the
customer may not as yet have received the notification letter.
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your
dealership for service in the future, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the recall
correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Bulletins for Global Positioning System: > 11094 > Apr > 11 > Recall - Steering Wheel Fastener Inspection > Page 5744
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, may exist in
certain 2011 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles. As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize
for this inconvenience. However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction
with our products.
Important
- Your vehicle is involved in safety recall 11094.
- Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer.
- This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
In the unlikely event that an assembly plant repair procedure was performed on your vehicle, and it
resulted in an improperly fastened steering wheel, the steering wheel may come loose from the
steering column. If this were to happen while the vehicle was moving, you could lose the ability to
steer the vehicle, potentially leading to a crash.
What will we do?
Your GM dealer will inspect to ensure that the steering wheel is assembled properly. This service
will be performed for you at no charge. Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that
your dealer will need your vehicle longer than the actual inspection time of approximately 20
minutes.
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer may provide you with shuttle
service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the dealership for this
repair. Please refer to your Owner Manual and your dealer for details on courtesy transportation.
What should you do?
You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible. If you
are concerned about driving your vehicle to your dealer for inspection, you can contact the
dealership and they will assist you in getting the vehicle to the dealership.
Do you have questions?
If you have questions or concerns that your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the
appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
If after contacting your dealer and the Customer Assistance Center, you are still not satisfied we
have done our best to remedy this condition without charge and within a reasonable time, you may
wish to write the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey

Dealer Recall Responsibility - For US (US States, Territories, and Possessions)
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a
recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has
tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired
within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent
vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for
depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made
to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as
possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
Dealer Recall Responsibility - All
All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this recall must be held and
inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall bulletin before customers take
possession of these vehicles.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of
mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which
there is no customer information indicated on the dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer.
Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions
contained in this bulletin. A copy of the customer letter is provided in this bulletin for your use in
contacting customers. Recall follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the
customer may not as yet have received the notification letter.
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your
dealership for service in the future, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the recall

Steering Wheel: Description and Operation
Steering Wheel and Column Description and Operation
The steering wheel and column has 4 primary functions:
* Vehicle steering
* Vehicle security
* Driver convenience
* Driver safety
Vehicle Steering
The steering wheel is the first link between the driver and the vehicle. The steering wheel is
fastened to a steering shaft within the column. At the lower end of the column, the intermediate
shaft connects the column to the steering gear.
Vehicle Security, Found on Some Vehicle Models
Theft deterrent components are mounted and designed into the steering column. The following
components allow the column to be locked in order to minimize theft:
* The ignition switch-location varies
* The steering column lock-content varies
* The ignition cylinder-location varies
* The theft deterrent module-location varies
Driver Convenience
The steering wheel and column may also have driver controls attached for convenience and
comfort. The following controls may be mounted on or near the steering wheel or column.
* The turn signal switch
* The hazard switch
* The headlamp dimmer switch
* The wiper/washer switch
* The horn pad/cruise control switch
* The redundant radio/entertainment system controls
* The manual/power tilt or tilt/telescoping functions
* The power pedal adjustment control switch
* The navigation
* The HVAC controls
Driver Safety
The steering wheel and column has safety features to protect the driver. The following components
may be mounted on or near the steering column: Energy-Absorbing Steering Column
- The energy-absorbing steering column compresses in the event of a front-end collision, which
reduces the chance of injury to the driver. The energy-absorbing feature, collapsible steering shaft,
and break away mounting features help reduce the injury in the event of an accident. In addition to
these features, the following driver safety features may be on the steering column:
SIR Coil and Module
- For additional information on the operation of the SIR coil and module, refer to SIR System
Description and Operation (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Description and Operation).
Steering Wheel Angle Sensor or Steering Wheel Position Sensor
- The steering wheel position sensor is located somewhere along the steering shaft assembly. The
sensor measures the position of the steering wheel and the speed at which it is rotated. A signal
representing this measurement is provided to the vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES)
module. The VSES module uses this signal, along with several others representing different vehicle
conditions, to monitor the driving behavior of the vehicle and ensure that it stays in control. If the
VSES module determines that the vehicle is out of control it provides signals to the powertrain
control module (PCM) and the ABS module. These output signals are used to modulate the
transmission torque and brake pressure of each of the vehicles wheels in order to regain control of
the vehicle.

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

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

up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
For more detailed information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 07-03-16-004C and TPMS
Training Course 13044.12T2.
Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tire Monitoring System > Low Tire
Pressure Indicator > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System
Message/Service Tips > Page 5965
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

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

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

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

up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
For more detailed information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 07-03-16-004C and TPMS
Training Course 13044.12T2.
Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 5985
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

GM's Position on the Use of Nitrogen Gas in Tires
General Motors does not oppose the use of purified nitrogen as an inflation gas for tires. We expect
the theoretical benefits to be reduced in practical use due to the lack of an existing infrastructure to
continuously facilitate inflating tires with nearly pure nitrogen. Even occasional inflation with
compressed atmospheric air will negate many of the theoretical benefits. Given those theoretical
benefits, practical limitations, and the robust design of GM original equipment TPC tires, the
realized benefits to our customer of inflating their tires with purified nitrogen are expected to be
minimal.
The Promise of Nitrogen: Under Controlled Conditions
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general consumer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. The following benefits under controlled conditions are attributed to nitrogen gas and its
unique properties:
- A reduction in the expected loss of Tire Pressure over time.
- A reduction in the variance of Tire Pressures with temperature changes due to reduction of water
vapor concentration.
- A reduction of long term rubber degradation due to a decrease in oxygen concentrations.
Important These are obtainable performance improvements when relatively pure nitrogen gas is
used to inflate tires under controlled conditions.
The Promise of Nitrogen: Real World Use
Nitrogen inflation can provide some benefit by reducing gas migration (pressure loss) at the
molecular level through the tire structure. NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
has stated that the inflation pressure loss of tires can be up to 5% a month. Nitrogen molecules are
larger than oxygen molecules and, therefore, are less prone to "seeping" through the tire casing.
The actual obtainable benefits of nitrogen vary, based on the physical construction and the
materials used in the manufacturing of the tire being inflated.
Another potential benefit of nitrogen is the reduced oxidation of tire components. Research has
demonstrated that oxygen consumed in the oxidation process of the tire primarily comes from the
inflation media. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that oxidation of tire components can be
reduced if the tire is inflated with pure nitrogen. However, only very small amounts of oxygen are
required to begin the normal oxidation process. Even slight contamination of the tire inflation gas
with compressed atmospheric air during normal inflation pressure maintenance, may negate the
benefits of using nitrogen.
GM Tire Quality, Technology and Focus of Importance
Since 1972, General Motors has designed tires under the TPC (Tire Performance Criteria)
specification system, which includes specific requirements that ensure robust tire performance
under normal usage. General Motors works with tire suppliers to design and manufacture original
equipment tires for GM vehicles. The GM TPC addresses required performance with respect to
both inflation pressure retention, and endurance properties for original equipment tires. The
inflation pressure retention requirements address availability of oxygen and oxidation concerns,
while endurance requirements ensure the mechanical structure of the tire has sufficient strength.
This combination has provided our customers with tires that maintain their structural integrity
throughout their useful treadlife under normal operating conditions.
Regardless of the inflation media for tires (atmospheric air or nitrogen), inflation pressure
maintenance of tires is critical for overall tire, and ultimately, vehicle performance. Maintaining the
correct inflation pressure allows the tire to perform as intended by the vehicle manufacturer in
many areas, including comfort, fuel economy, stopping distance, cornering, traction, treadwear,
and noise. Since the load carrying capability of a tire is related to inflation pressure, proper inflation
pressure maintenance is necessary for the tire to support the load imposed by the vehicle without
excessive structural

This bulletin covers puncture repair procedures for passenger car and light duty truck radial tires in
the tread area only. The tire manufacturer must be contacted for its individual repair policy and
whether or not the speed rating is retained after repair.
Caution
- Tire changing can be dangerous and should be done by trained professionals using proper tools
and procedures. Always read and understand any manufacturer's warnings contained in their
customers literature or molded into the tire sidewall.
- Serious eye and ear injury may result from not wearing adequate eye and ear protection while
repairing tires.
- NEVER inflate beyond 275 kPa (40 pounds) pressure to seat beads.
Some run flat tires, such as the Goodyear Extended Mobility Tire (EMT) used on the Corvette, may
require more than 275 kPa (40 psi) to seat the bead. In such a case, a tire safety cage must be
used. Consult the tire manufacturer for its individual repair policy.
- NEVER stand, lean or reach over the assembly during inflation.
Repairable area on a radial tire.
Important
- NEVER repair tires worn to the tread indicators 1.59 mm (2/32") remaining depth).
- NEVER repair tires with a tread puncture larger than 6.35 mm (1/4").
- NEVER substitute an inner tube for a permissible or non-permissible repair.
- NEVER perform an outside-in tire repair (plug only, on the wheel).
- Every tire must be removed from the wheel for proper inspection and repair.
- Regardless of the type of repair used, the repair must seal the inner liner and fill the injury.
- Consult with repair material supplier/manufacturer for repair unit application procedures and
repair tools/repair material recommendations.
Three basic steps for tire puncture repair:
1. Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 5993
2. Fill the injury (puncture) to keep moisture out. 3. Seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent
air loss.
External Inspection
1. Prior to demounting, inspect the tire surface, the valve and the wheel for the source of the leak
by using a water and soap solution. Mark the
injured area and totally deflate the tire by removing the valve core.
2. Demount the tire from the wheel and place the tire on a well-lighted spreader.
Internal Inspection
1. Spread the beads and mark the puncture with a tire crayon. 2. Inspect the inner tire for any signs
of internal damage. 3. Remove the puncturing object, noting the direction of the penetration. 4.
Probe the injury with a blunt awl in order to determine the extent and direction of the injury. 5.
Remove any loose foreign material from the injury. 6. Punctures exceeding 6.35 mm (1/4") should
not be repaired.
Cleaning
1. Clean the area around the puncture thoroughly with a proper liner cleaner, clean cloth and a
scraper. This step serves to remove dirt and mold
lubricants to insure proper adhesion and non-contamination of the buffing tool.
2. Refer to information on the product or manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet and follow
guidelines for handling and disposal.
Clean the Injury Channel
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 5994
1. Use a proper hand reamer, carbide cutter or drill bit to ream the puncture channel from the inside
of the tire in order to clean the injury. 2. Remove steel wires protruding above the liner surface to
prevent damage to the repair unit. 3. Consult your repair material supplier for recommended
reaming tool(s).
Fill the Injury
1. It is necessary to fill the injury channel to provide back up for the repair unit and to prevent
moisture from entering the tire fabric and steel wires. 2. (For combination repair/plug units skip this
step.) Cement the injured channel and fill the injury from the inside of the tire with the repair plug
per
repair material manufacturer's recommendations. Without stretching the plug, cut the plug off just
above the inside tire surface.
3. Consult your repair material supplier for proper repair material selection.
Repair Unit Selection
Important Do not install the repair unit in this step.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 5995
1. Center the repair unit over the injury as a reference and outline an area larger than the unit so
that buffing will not remove the crayon marks. 2. Remove the repair unit. 3. DO NOT overlap
previous or multiple repair units. 4. Consult your repair material supplier for proper repair unit
selection.
Buffing
1. To prevent contamination and preserve the outline, buff within the marked area thoroughly and
evenly with a low speed buffing tool using a fine
wire brush or gritted rasp.
2. Buff to a smooth velvet surface (RMA #1 or #2 buffed texture). 3. Use caution not to gouge the
inner liner or expose casing fabric. 4. Remove any buffing dust with a vacuum cleaner. 5. Consult
your repair material supplier for a proper buffing tool.
Cementing
Apply chemical cement according to the repair material manufacturer's procedures.
Repair Unit Application

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 5996
1. The tire must be in the relaxed position when the repair unit is installed (Do not spread the beads
excessively).
Two-Piece Plug and Repair Units
1. If applicable, install the repair unit so that the alignment is correct. 2. Center the repair unit over
the injury and stitch down thoroughly with the stitching tool, working from the center out.
3. Being careful not to stretch the plug material, cut the plug flush with the outer tread.
Combination Repair/Plug Units
1. Pull the plug through the injury until the repair just reaches the liner. Stitch down thoroughly. 2.
Follow the repair material manufacturer's recommendations for further installation instructions.
2. Consult your repair material supplier for the proper stitching tool.
Safety Cage

Some run flat tires, such as the Goodyear Extended Mobility Tire (EMT) used on the Corvette, may
require more than 275 kPa (40 psi) to seat the bead. In such a case, a tire safety cage must be
used. Consult the tire manufacturer for its individual repair policy.
Final Inspection
1. After remounting and inflating the tire, check both beads, the repair and the valve with a water
and soap solution in order to detect leaks. 2. If the tire continues to lose air, the tire must be
demounted and reinspected. 3. Balance the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel
Assembly Balancing - OFF Vehicle.

The location of these indicators are at 60 degree intervals around the outer diameter of the tire.
The indicators appear as a 6 mm (0.25 in) wide band when the tire tread depth becomes 1.6 mm
(2/32 in).

Tires: Description and Operation Tire Inflation Description
Tire Inflation Description
This vehicle has been engineered to operate up to the stated load capacity with wheel and tire
assemblies of the type, size, construction, and configuration as originally installed. Maintenance of
the tire inflation pressures is critical to the continued satisfactory performance, handling, and
operating economy of the vehicle. Operation with incorrectly or improperly inflated tires can
adversely affect vehicle performance and may contribute to the following:
* Reduced fuel economy
* Tire overloading
* Shortened tire life
* Excessive tire wear
* Uneven tire wear
* Vehicle handling concerns
Inspect the tire pressures when the vehicle has not been driven for at least 3 hours or not more
than 1.6 km (1 mi) and when the tires are cool to the touch.
Tire inflation pressures should be inspected monthly and before an extended trip and adjusted to
meet the specifications listed for the particular vehicle. Replace any missing or damaged tire valve
stem extensions and/or caps to prevent the intrusion of water and contaminates.
One pound per square inch (psi) equals 6.9 kilopascals (kPa). The following table illustrates the
conversion of kilopascals to pounds per square inch:
For the correct inflation pressures refer to the vehicle's Tire Placard.
Tires inflated to a higher than recommended pressure can contribute to the following conditions:
* A hard ride
* Tire bruising
* Rapid tread wear at the center of the tire
Tires inflated to a lower than recommended pressure can contribute to the following conditions:
* Tire squeal on turns
* Hard steering
* Rapid and/or uneven wear on the outer edges of the tread
* Tire rim bruises and tire rim rupture
* Tire cord breakage
* High tire temperatures
* Sluggish vehicle handling
* Higher fuel consumption
Unequal pressure on the same axle can cause the following conditions:

Tire Repair
Warning
* Tire changing can be dangerous and should be done by trained professionals using proper tools
and procedures. Always read and understand any manufacturer's warnings contained in their
customers literature or molded into the tire sidewall.
* Serious eye and ear injury may result from not wearing adequate eye and ear protection while
repairing tires.
* NEVER inflate beyond 275 kPa (40 pounds) pressure to seat beads.
* NEVER stand, lean or reach over the assembly during inflation.
Note: Repairable area on a radial tire.
* NEVER repair tires worn to the tread indicators 1.59 mm (2/32 in) remaining depth.
* NEVER repair tires with a tread puncture larger than 6.35 mm (1/4 in).
* NEVER substitute an inner tube for a permissible or non-permissible repair.
* NEVER perform an outside-in tire repair (plug only, on the wheel).
* Every tire must be removed from the wheel for proper inspection and repair.
* Regardless of the type of repair used, the repair must seal the inner liner and fill the injury.
* Consult with repair material supplier/manufacturer for repair unit application procedures and
repair tools/repair material recommendations.
Three basic steps for tire puncture repair:
1. Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair. 2. Fill the injury (puncture) to keep
moisture out. 3. Seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.
External Inspection
1. Prior to demounting, inspect the tire surface, the valve and the wheel for the source of the leak
by using a water and soap solution. Mark the
injured area and totally deflate the tire by removing the valve core.
2. Demount the tire from the wheel and place the tire on a well-lighted spreader.
Internal Inspection
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Procedures > Page 6006
1. Spread the beads and mark the puncture with a tire crayon. 2. Inspect the inner tire for any signs
of internal damage. 3. Remove the puncturing object, noting the direction of the penetration. 4.
Probe the injury with a blunt awl in order to determine the extent and direction of the injury. 5.
Remove any loose foreign material from the injury. 6. Punctures exceeding 6.35 mm (1/4 in) should
not be repaired.
Cleaning
1. Clean the area around the puncture thoroughly with a proper liner cleaner, clean cloth and a
scraper. This step serves to remove dirt and mold
lubricants to insure proper adhesion and non-contamination of the buffing tool.
2. Refer to information on the product or manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet and follow
guidelines for handling and disposal.
Clean the Injury Channel
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Procedures > Page 6007
1. Use a proper hand reamer, carbide cutter or drill bit to ream the puncture channel from the inside
of the tire in order to clean the injury. 2. Remove steel wires protruding above the liner surface to
prevent damage to the repair unit. 3. Consult your repair material supplier for recommended
reaming tool(s).
Fill the Injury
1. It is necessary to fill the injury channel to provide back up for the repair unit and to prevent
moisture from entering the tire fabric and steel wires. 2. For combination repair/plug units skip this
step. Cement the injured channel and fill the injury from the inside of the tire with the repair plug per
repair material manufacturer's recommendations. Without stretching the plug, cut the plug off just
above the inside tire surface.
3. Consult your repair material supplier for proper repair material selection.
Repair Unit Selection
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Procedures > Page 6008
Note: Do not install the repair unit in this step.
1. Center the repair unit over the injury as a reference and outline an area larger than the unit so
that buffing will not remove the crayon marks. 2. Remove the repair unit. 3. DO NOT overlap
previous or multiple repair units. 4. Consult your repair material supplier for proper repair unit
selection.
Buffing
1. To prevent contamination and preserve the outline, buff within the marked area thoroughly and
evenly with a low speed buffing tool using a fine
wire brush or gritted rasp.
2. Buff to a smooth velvet surface (RMA #1 or #2 buffed texture). 3. Use caution not to gouge the
inner liner or expose casing fabric. 4. Remove any buffing dust with a vacuum cleaner. 5. Consult
your repair material supplier for a proper buffing tool.
Cementing
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Procedures > Page 6009
Apply chemical cement according to the repair material manufacturer's procedures.
Repair Unit Application
The tire must be in the relaxed position when the repair unit is installed. Do not spread the beads
excessively.
Two-Piece Plug and Repair Units
1. If applicable, install the repair unit so that the alignment is correct. 2. Center the repair unit over
the injury and stitch down thoroughly with the stitching tool, working from the center out.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Procedures > Page 6010
3. Being careful not to stretch the plug material, cut the plug flush with the outer tread.
Combination Repair/Plug Units
1. Pull the plug through the injury until the repair just reaches the liner. Stitch down thoroughly. 2.
Follow the repair material manufacturer's recommendations for further installation instructions.
Consult your repair material supplier for the proper stitching tool.
Safety Cage
Some run flat tires may require more than 275 kPa (40 psi) to seat the bead. In such a case, a tire
safety cage must be used. Consult the tire manufacturer for its individual repair policy.
Final Inspection
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Procedures > Page 6011
1. After remounting and inflating the tire, check both beads, the repair and the valve with a water
and soap solution in order to detect leaks. 2. If the tire continues to lose air, the tire must be
demounted and reinspected. 3. Balance the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel
Assembly Balancing - Off Vehicle (See: Body and Frame/Testing and
Inspection/Vibration Diagnosis and Correction/Repair Instructions/Tire and Wheel Assembly
Balancing - Off Vehicle).

Tires: Removal and Replacement
Tire Dismounting and Mounting
Caution: Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons
alone in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could
result.
Caution: Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing
equipment. Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear
coating to peel from the wheel.
Caution: Damage to either the tire bead or the wheel mounting holes can result from the use of
improper wheel attachment or tire mounting procedures. It takes up to 70 seconds for all of the air
to completely exhaust from a large tire. Failure to follow the proper procedures could cause the tire
changer to put enough force on the tire to bend the wheel at the mounting surface. Such damage
may result in vibration and/or shimmy, and under severe usage lead to wheel cracking.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem. 2. Deflate the tire completely.
Note: Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel, position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and
270 degrees from the valve stem.
Caution: Failure to position valve stem in proper position while dismounting and mounting the tire
may result in the TPM sensor to become damaged.
5. Position the wheel and tire so the valve stem is at the 7 o'clock position relative to the head. The
tire iron or pry bar can be inserted when prying
the outer tire bead up and over the mounting/dismounting head.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Procedures > Page 6013
6. Position the wheel and tire so the valve stem is again at the 7 o'clock position relative to the
head. The tire iron or pry bar can be inserted when
prying the inner tire bead up and over the mounting/dismounting head.
7. Remove all residual liquid sealant from the inside of the tire and wheel surfaces. If any tire
sealant is noted upon tire dismounting on vehicles
equipped with TPM, replace the tire pressure sensor. Refer to Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor
Replacement (See: Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires/Tire Pressure Sensor/Service and
Repair).
8. Use a wire brush or coarse steel wool in order to remove any rubber, light rust or corrosion from
the wheel bead seats.
Caution: When mounting the tires, use an approved tire mounting lubricant. DO NOT use silicon or
corrosive base compounds to lubricate the tire bead and the wheel rim. A silicon base compound
can cause the tire to slip on the rim. A corrosive type compound can cause tire or rim deterioration.
9. Apply mounting lubricant to the tire bead and the wheel rim. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids,
Lubricants, and Sealers (See:
Suspension/Specifications/Fluid Type Specifications).
10. Position the rim so the valve stem (1) is at the 7 o'clock position relative to the head (2). This
will protect the sensor when the bottom bead seats.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Procedures > Page 6014
11. Using the tire machine, rotate the tire/wheel assembly clockwise when transferring the tire bead
to the inside of the wheel rim. Ensure that the
valve stem (1) is at the 7 o'clock position.
12. After the bottom bead is on the wheel, reposition the wheel and tire so that the valve stem (1) is
at the 7 o'clock position relative to the head. This
will protect the sensor while mounting the tire bead to the outside of the wheel.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Procedures > Page 6015
13. Use the tire changer in order to install the tire to the wheel.
Warning
To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when
the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any
tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, relubricate
the beads and reinflate. Overinflation may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal
injury.
14. Inflate the tire until it passes the bead humps. Be sure that the valve core is not installed at this
time. 15. Install the valve core to the valve core stem. 16. Inflate the tire to the proper air pressure.
17. Ensure that the locating rings are visible on both sides of the tire in order to verify that the tire
bead is fully seated on the wheel.

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
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 00-03-10-006F > May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire Radial Force Variation
(RFV) > Page 6024
of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion > Page 6045
hot particles embed themselves in the chrome layer and create a small pit. If the material is allowed
to sit on the wheel while it is exposed to moisture or salt, it will corrode the wheel beneath the
chrome leaving a pit or small blister in the chrome.
Heavy brake dust build-up should be removed from wheels by using GM Chrome Cleaner and
Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada use 10953013). For moderate cleaning, light brake dust build-up
or water spots use GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use Meguiars
Plast-X(TM) Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish #G12310C**). After cleaning, the wheel should be
waxed using GM Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, use Meguiars Cleaner Wax
#M0616C**), which will help protect the wheel from brake dust and reduce adhesion of any brake
dust that gets on the wheel surface. For general maintenance cleaning, PEEK Metal Polish† may
be used. It will clean and shine the chrome and leave behind a wax coating that may help protect
the finish.
Warranty of Stardust Corroded Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of neglect and brake dust build-up may be
replaced one time.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean and free of prolonged exposure to brake dust
build-up. "GM of Canada" dealers require prior approval by the District Manager - Customer Care
and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
Customer Assistance and Instructions
GM has looked for ways customers may improve the appearance of wheels damaged by acidic
cleaners. The following product and procedure has been found to dramatically improve the
appearance of stained wheels. For wheels that have milky stains caused by acidic cleaners try the
following:
Notice
THE 3M CHROME AND METAL POLISH REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE IS AN
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE POLISH/CLEANER. THE WHEELS MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE
APPLICATION TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE WHEEL SURFACE. THIS PRODUCT WILL
REDUCE THE THICKNESS OF THE CHROME PLATING ON THE WHEEL AND IF USED
INCORRECTLY OR EXCESSIVELY MAY REMOVE THE CHROME PLATING ALL TOGETHER,
EXPOSING A LESS BRIGHT AND BRASSY COLORED SUB-LAYER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1. Wash the wheels with vigorously with soap and water. This step will clean and may reduce
wheel staining. Flood all areas of the wheel with water
to rinse.
2. Dry the wheels completely.
Notice Begin with a small section of the wheel and with light pressure buff off polish and examine
results. ONLY apply and rub with sufficient force and time to remove enough staining that you are
satisfied with the results. Some wheels may be stained to the extent that you may only achieve a
50% improvement while others may be able to be restored to the original lustre. IN ALL CASES,
only apply until the results are satisfactory.
3. Apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527* with a clean terry cloth towel. As you apply the
polish, the staining will be diminished. 4. When dry, buff off the polish with a clean portion of the
towel. 5. Repeat application of the 3M Chrome and Metal Polish until satisfied with the results. If
continued applications fail to improve the appearance
further discontinue use.
This procedure will improve the appearance of the wheels and may, with repeated applications,
restore the finish dramatically. For wheels that exhibit spotting from road chemicals the above
procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
In this type of staining the wheel finish has actually been removed in spots and no manner of
cleaning will restore the finish.

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

longer.
Important Whenever a wheel is refinished, the mounting surface and the wheel nut contact
surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these surfaces could affect the wheel nut
torque.
When re-mounting a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in order to
reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.

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

Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 00-03-10-006F > May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire
Radial Force Variation (RFV) > Page 6056
of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Staining/Pitting/Corrosion > Page 6077
hot particles embed themselves in the chrome layer and create a small pit. If the material is allowed
to sit on the wheel while it is exposed to moisture or salt, it will corrode the wheel beneath the
chrome leaving a pit or small blister in the chrome.
Heavy brake dust build-up should be removed from wheels by using GM Chrome Cleaner and
Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada use 10953013). For moderate cleaning, light brake dust build-up
or water spots use GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use Meguiars
Plast-X(TM) Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish #G12310C**). After cleaning, the wheel should be
waxed using GM Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, use Meguiars Cleaner Wax
#M0616C**), which will help protect the wheel from brake dust and reduce adhesion of any brake
dust that gets on the wheel surface. For general maintenance cleaning, PEEK Metal Polish† may
be used. It will clean and shine the chrome and leave behind a wax coating that may help protect
the finish.
Warranty of Stardust Corroded Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of neglect and brake dust build-up may be
replaced one time.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean and free of prolonged exposure to brake dust
build-up. "GM of Canada" dealers require prior approval by the District Manager - Customer Care
and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
Customer Assistance and Instructions
GM has looked for ways customers may improve the appearance of wheels damaged by acidic
cleaners. The following product and procedure has been found to dramatically improve the
appearance of stained wheels. For wheels that have milky stains caused by acidic cleaners try the
following:
Notice
THE 3M CHROME AND METAL POLISH REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE IS AN
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE POLISH/CLEANER. THE WHEELS MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE
APPLICATION TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE WHEEL SURFACE. THIS PRODUCT WILL
REDUCE THE THICKNESS OF THE CHROME PLATING ON THE WHEEL AND IF USED
INCORRECTLY OR EXCESSIVELY MAY REMOVE THE CHROME PLATING ALL TOGETHER,
EXPOSING A LESS BRIGHT AND BRASSY COLORED SUB-LAYER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1. Wash the wheels with vigorously with soap and water. This step will clean and may reduce
wheel staining. Flood all areas of the wheel with water
to rinse.
2. Dry the wheels completely.
Notice Begin with a small section of the wheel and with light pressure buff off polish and examine
results. ONLY apply and rub with sufficient force and time to remove enough staining that you are
satisfied with the results. Some wheels may be stained to the extent that you may only achieve a
50% improvement while others may be able to be restored to the original lustre. IN ALL CASES,
only apply until the results are satisfactory.
3. Apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527* with a clean terry cloth towel. As you apply the
polish, the staining will be diminished. 4. When dry, buff off the polish with a clean portion of the
towel. 5. Repeat application of the 3M Chrome and Metal Polish until satisfied with the results. If
continued applications fail to improve the appearance
further discontinue use.
This procedure will improve the appearance of the wheels and may, with repeated applications,
restore the finish dramatically. For wheels that exhibit spotting from road chemicals the above
procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
In this type of staining the wheel finish has actually been removed in spots and no manner of
cleaning will restore the finish.

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

longer.
Important Whenever a wheel is refinished, the mounting surface and the wheel nut contact
surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these surfaces could affect the wheel nut
torque.
When re-mounting a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in order to
reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.

Wheels: Description and Operation
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.
Note: Air leaks caused by porosity on aluminum wheels are repairable.
* The wheel leaks air.
Warning
If you are replacing the wheel(s), the wheel stud(s), the wheel nut(s) or the wheel bolt(s), install
only new GM original equipment parts. Installation of used parts or non-GM original equipment
parts may cause the wheel to loosen, loss of tire air pressure, poor vehicle handling and loss of
vehicle control resulting in personal injury.
Caution: The use of non-GM original equipment wheels may cause:
* Damage to the wheel bearing, the wheel fasteners and the wheel
* Tire damage caused by the modified clearance to the adjacent vehicle components
* Adverse vehicle steering stability caused by the modified scrub radius
* Damage to the vehicle caused by the modified ground clearance
* Speedometer and odometer inaccuracy
Replace the wheel, the wheel studs and the wheel/nuts, or the wheel bolts if applicable, if any of
the following conditions exist:
* The wheel has elongated bolt holes.
* The wheel/nuts, or bolts if applicable, loosen repeatedly.
Steel wheel identification is stamped into the wheel near the valve stem.
Aluminum wheel identification is cast into the inboard side of the wheel.

Aluminum Wheel Refinishing
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Guidelines
Warning
To avoid personal injury when exposed to plastic media blast, hand and/or lathe sanding dust,
primer, color coat, and clearcoat, you must work in a properly ventilated area, wearing an approved
respirator, eye protection, earplugs and protective gloves and clothing.
Evaluating Damage
Note:
* Inspect the wheel for corrosion, scrapes, gouges, etc. Damage MUST NOT be deeper than what
can be sanded or polished off.
* Inspect the wheel for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the wheel.
* ALL wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished.
* The re-machining and the re-clear coating of aluminum wheels is not recommended in the dealer
environment due to concerns of repair durability.
* Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the dimensions
and function of the wheel.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing General Recommendations/Options
* Painted aluminum wheels use a primer, color coat, and clearcoat procedure. If the paint is
damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original coatings must be removed
first. Media blasting is recommended. (See option number 1).
* If the clearcoat is damaged, it is possible to refinish with clearcoat only, however, the required
refinishing process cannot be performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinishers
Responsibility (Repair option number 2).
* Re-plating of chrome-plated aluminum wheels is not recommended.
Repair Option Number 1
Material Required/Information Resources
* The Paint Manufacturer's Color Book
* Refer to the latest GM Approved Refinish Materials Booklet (GM 4901 MD-2005) for specific
products for aluminum refinishing.
* To access the booklet. Click on GM Collision Parts. Click on GM Technical Repair Information,
select Paint Shop.
* A Color Compatibility chart is also at this site defining what colors are used on what models.
Note: Chemical strippers are not recommended.
* Refer to specific Paint Manufacturers for refinish procedures and process pertaining to "Aluminum
Refinishing". The procedure requires the wheel surface to be plastic media blasted to remove old
paint or clearcoat.
General Color Selection
* If the wheels being painted were previously clearcoated aluminum, and a painted aluminum look
is desired, using Corsican Silver WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look, or Sparkle Silver
WA9967 for a very bright look. Body color is another option to the customer that may also be used.
* Some specific colors may be recommended on certain models.
* If painting wheels that were previously clearcoated aluminum, it is recommended that all 4 wheels
and their center caps be refinished to maintain color uniformity.
General Refinishing Procedures - Removal
1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle. The tires may remain mounted on the wheels. 2. Remove
the balance weights and mark their locations on the tire. 3. Remove excess grease, etc. from the
wheels with wax and grease remover. 4. Have the wheels plastic media blasted to remove the
clearcoat.
Note: MASK OFF ALL MOUNTING SURFACES, whenever a wheel is refinished. The mounting
surface and the wheel nut contact surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these
surfaces could affect the wheel nut torque.
5. Clean and mask and paint the wheels.
General Refinishing Procedures - Installation
1. Unmask the wheels. 2. Clean all wheel mounting surface of any corrosion, overspray, or dirt.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Page 6086
Note: When re-balancing a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in
order to reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.
3. Install NEW coated balance weights at marked locations.
Note: Use a torque stick on an impact wrench, or a torque wrench to consistently and uniformly
fasten the wheel to the specified torque for the vehicle. The star pattern must be followed.
4. Install wheels on vehicle.
Repair Option Number 2 - Outside Companies
* Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. One such company, Transwheel
Corporation (800-892-3733), provides this service with GM guidelines. Other companies may also
exist.
* Any process that re-machines or otherwise remanufactures the wheel should not be used.
* The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process to assure that the
same wheel is returned. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel and warrant the
painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the new vehicle
warranty, whichever is longer.
* Paint and/or clearcoat must not be present on the following surfaces, the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole.
* A refinishers responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the
equivalent. Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any
kind is allowed. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the wheel. Hand and/or lathe
sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed. Material removal, though, must
be kept to a minimum.

Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging
Warning
To prevent personal injury, avoid breathing A/C Refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Work in a
well ventilated area. To remove refrigerant from the A/C System, use service equipment designed
for recovery that is certified to meet the requirements of the appropriate SAE Standards. If an
accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional
health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant, refrigerant recovery, and
lubricant manufacturers.
Warning
For personal protection, goggles and lint-free gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped
around fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant
system. If refrigerant comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury
can result. The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical
help should be obtained.
Caution: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other
refrigerant may result in poor system performance or component failure.
Caution: To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C
system.
Caution: Do not mix refrigerant oils. Use of incorrect refrigerant oil will cause compressor failure.
Caution: R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of
amounts, as they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure
is likely to occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment before
servicing.
The AC filling device is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The AC filling device
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 AC filling device automatically
replenishes this vessel from an external source tank in order to maintain a constant volume of A/C
refrigerant.
The AC filling device 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 AC filling device will not recover the refrigerant from the A/C system.
The AC filling device also features automatic air purge, single pass recycling and an automatic oil
drain.
Refer to the AC filling device manual for operation and setup instruction. Always recharge the A/C
System with the proper amount of R-134a. Refer to Refrigerant System Specifications (See:
Specifications/Capacity Specifications).
A/C Refrigerant System Oil Charge Replenishing
If oil was removed from the A/C system during the recovery process or due to component
replacement, the oil must be replenished. Oil can be injected into a charged system using
GE-45037 - injector. For the proper quantities of oil to add to the A/C refrigerant system, refer to
Refrigerant System Specifications (See: Specifications/Capacity Specifications).

Impact Sensor Replacement Guidelines
The impact sensor replacement policy requires replacing sensors in the area of the 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 object. If the vehicle has an impact sensor mounted forward of the
radiator, it must be replaced.
* Replace the impact sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed.
* Replace the impact sensor even if it appears to be undamaged.
Impact 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 system. Do not try to determine
whether the impact sensor is undamaged, replace the impact sensor. Also, if you follow a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) procedure and a malfunctioning impact sensor is indicated, replace
the impact sensor.

SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer to SIR Identification Views (See: Locations).
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose air bags to temperatures above 65°C (149°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 92 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any air bag
* Driver steering wheel air bag coil
* Any impact sensor
* Seat belt anchor and/or retractor pretensioners
* Passenger presence module and/or occupant sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note: The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams) or Electrical Center
Identification Views (See: Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse/Application and ID).
4. Wait 1 minute before working on the system.

Inflatable Restraint Module Handling and Scrapping
Special Tools
* EL-38826 - SIR Deployment Harness
* EL-39401-B - SIR Deployment Fixture
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Live and Undeployed Air Bag Warning: Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Warning
(See: Service Precautions/SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Warning).
Take special care when handling or storing an undeployed air bag. An air bag deployment
produces a rapid generation of gas. This may cause the air bag, or an object in front of the air bag,
to project through the air in the event of an unlikely deployment.
Dual Stage Air Bags
Dual stage air bags have two deployment stages. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual stage air
bag, stage 2 may still be active. Therefore, a deployed dual stage air bag must be treated as an
active air bag. If disposal of a dual stage air bag is required, both deployment loops must be
energized to deploy the air bag.
Scrapping Procedure
During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will require the
disposal of a live and undeployed air bag. Do NOT dispose a live and undeployed air bag through
normal disposal channels until the air bag has been deployed.
Do not deploy the air bag in the following situations:
* After replacement of an air bag under warranty-the air bag may need to be returned undeployed
to the manufacturer.
* If the vehicle is the subject of a product liability claim, related to the SIR system and is subject to
a preliminary investigation - do NOT alter the SIR system in any manner.
* If the vehicle is involved in a campaign affecting the air bags - follow the instructions in the
campaign service bulletin for proper SIR handling procedures.
Deployment Procedures
You can deploy the air bag either inside or outside of the vehicle. The method used depends upon
the final disposition of the vehicle. Review the following procedures in order to determine which will
work best in a given situation:
Deployment Outside Vehicle - Steering Wheel Air Bag, Instrument Panel Air Bag, and Roof Rail Air
Bag
Deploy the air bag outside of the vehicle when the vehicle will be returned to service. Situations
that require deployment outside of the vehicle include the following:
* Using the SIR diagnostics, you determine that the air bag is malfunctioning.
* The air bag is cosmetically damaged, scratched, or ripped.
* The air bag pigtail is damaged.
* The air bag connector is damaged.
* The air bag connector terminals are damaged.
Deployment and disposal of a malfunctioning air bag is subject to any required retention period.
Warning: Refer to SIR Inflator Module Disposal Warning (See: Service Precautions/SIR Inflator
Module Disposal Warning).
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
Warning: Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Warning (See: Service
Precautions/SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Warning).
2. Remove the air bag.

3. Clear a space on the ground about 1.85 m (6 ft) in diameter for deployment of the air bag or
deployment fixture. If possible, use a paved, outdoor
location free of activity. Otherwise, use a space free of activity on the shop floor. Ensure you have
sufficient ventilation.
4. Clear the area of loose or flammable objects.
Note: Dual stage deployments are only used in steering wheel and instrument panel air bags. If
stage 1 was used to deploy a dual stage air bag, stage 2 may still be active. If disposal of a dual
stage air bag is required, both deployment loops must be energized to deploy the air bag.
5. If you are deploying a steering wheel air bag, place the air bag in the center of the space with the
vinyl trim cover facing up and away from the
surface.
6. When deploying an instrument panel air bag, perform the following instructions:
1. Place the EL-39401-B - fixture in the center of the cleared area. 2. Fill the deployment fixture
with water or sand. 3. Using the proper nuts and bolts, mount the instrument panel air bag (1) to
the deployment fixture (2), with the vinyl trim facing up. 4. Securely tighten all fasteners that hold
the instrument panel air bag (1) to the deployment fixture (2).
7. When deploying a roof rail air bag, perform the following instructions:
1. Place the EL-39401-B - fixture (3) in the center of the cleared area. 2. Fill the deployment fixture
with water or sand to provide sufficient stabilization of fixture during deployment. 3. Adjust and
secure the fixture arms (4) to the deployment fixture (3), using the proper nuts and bolts. 4. Attach

11. Extend the SIR deployment harness and adapter to the full length from the deployment fixture
or area.
Note: On a dual stage air bag, both connectors must be attached to the deployment harness
adapter. This will ensure that both stage 1 and stage 2 of the deployment loops are energized,
regardless of the deployment state.
12. Connect the air bag (1) to the adapter (2) on the SIR deployment harness (3).
Note: *
The rapid expansion of gas involved with deploying an air bag is very loud. Notify all the people in
the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air bag.
* When the air bag deploys, the deployment fixture may jump about 30 cm (1 ft) vertically. This is a
normal reaction of the air bag due to the force of the rapid expansion of gas inside the air bag.
* If you are deploying a dual stage air bag with stage 1 already deployed, the fixture may not move
and the noise may have been reduced.
13. Clear the area of people.

in the procedure.
15. Place a 12 V minimum/2A minimum power source, such as a vehicle battery, near the shorted
end of the harness. 16. Connect the SIR deployment harness wires to the power source.
Deployment of the air bag will occur when contact is made.
17. Disconnect the SIR deployment harness from the power source after the air bag deploys. 18. If
the air bag did not deploy, disconnect the adapter and discontinue the procedure and contact the
Technical Assistance Group.
If deployment was successful, proceed to the following steps. Warning: Refer to SIR Deployed
Inflator Modules Are Hot Warning (See: Service Precautions/SIR Deployed Inflator Modules Are
Hot Warning).
19. Seat one banana plug into the other in order to short the deployment harness leads. 20. Put on
a pair of shop gloves. 21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the air bag as soon as possible. 22.
Inspect the pigtail adapter and the SIR deployment harness. Replace as needed. 23. Dispose of
the deployed air bag through normal refuse channels. 24. Wash your hands with a mild soap.

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.

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.

SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer to SIR Identification Views (See: Air Bag Systems/Locations).
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose air bags to temperatures above 65°C (149°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.

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

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

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.

Seat Belt Tensioner: Procedures
Pretensioner Handling and Scrapping
Scrapping Procedure
During the course of a vehicles useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the
disposal of a live (undeployed) pretensioner. The following information covers the proper
procedures for the disposing of a live (undeployed) pretensioner. Deploy the pretensioner before
disposal. Do not dispose of a live (undeployed) pretensioner through normal disposal channels until
the pretensioner has been deployed. The following information covers the proper procedures for
the disposing of a live (undeployed) pretensioner.
* After replacement of a pretensioner under warranty. The pretensioner may need to be returned
undeployed to the original manufacturer of pretensioner.
* If the vehicle is the subject of a Product Liability report related to the SIR system and is subject to
a Preliminary Investigation (GM-1241). Do not alter the SIR system in any manner.
* If the vehicle is involved in a campaign affecting the pretensioners. Follow the instructions in the
Campaign Service Bulletin for proper SIR handling procedures.
Deployment Procedures
The pretensioner can be deployed inside or outside of the vehicle. The method used depends upon
the final disposition of the vehicle. Review the following procedures in order to determine which will
work best in a given situation.
Deployment Inside the Vehicle
Refer to Inflatable Restraint Module Handling and Scrapping (See: Air Bag Systems/Air
Bag/Service and Repair/Procedures) for deploying the pretensioner inside vehicle under Vehicle
Scrapping Procedure.
Deployment Outside Vehicle for Seat Belt Pretensioners
Deploy the seat belt pretensioners outside of the vehicle when the vehicle will be returned to
service. Situations that require deployment outside of the vehicle include the following:
* Using the SIR diagnostics, you determine that the seat belt pretensioner is malfunctioning.
* The pretensioner pigtail (if equipped) is damaged.
* The pretensioner connector is damaged.
* The pretensioner connector terminal is damaged.
Deployment and disposal of a malfunctioning seat belt pretensioner is subject to any required
retention period.
Warning
In order to prevent accidental deployment of the pretensioner which could cause personal injury, do
not dispose of an undeployed pretensioner as normal shop waste. The undeployed pretensioner
contains substances that could cause severe illness or personal injury if the sealed container is
damaged during disposal. Use the following deployment procedures to safely dispose of an
undeployed pretensioner. Failure to dispose of a pretensioner as instructed may be a violation of
federal, state, or local laws.
Warning
When you are deploying a pretensioner for disposal, perform the deployment procedures in the
order listed. Failure to follow the procedures in the order listed may result in personal injury.

When you are deploying a pretensioner for disposal, perform the deployment procedures in the
order listed. Failure to follow the procedures in the order listed may result in personal injury.
17. Separate the 2 banana plugs on the SIR deployment harness.
Note: When the seat belt pretensioner deploys, the deployment fixture may jump about 30 cm (1 ft)
vertically. This is a normal reaction of the seat belt pretensioner due to the force of the rapid
expansion of gas inside the pretensioner.
18. Place a 12 V minimum/2 A minimum power source (i.e., vehicle battery) near the shorted end
of the harness. 19. Connect the SIR deployment harness wires to the power source. Pretensioner
deployment will occur when contact is made. 20. Disconnect the SIR deployment harness from the

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.

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

EL-35616-200 - Test Light - Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A Digital Multimeter
(DMM) should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The EL-35616-200 - kit is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an
attached pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.

Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions

Special Tools
J-25070 - Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J-25070 - heat
gun.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry >
Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6658
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. In addition, circuit cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

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

Note:
* 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.

If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the
EL-39200 - digital multimeter (DMM). This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without
having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the DMM can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a
suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry >
Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6664
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with
a Digital Multimeter) for information on connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Select the voltage range feature of the DMM in
order to select the desired voltage range.
Note: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep). 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection,
either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value. 9. Determine the
difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
EL-35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. 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 pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry >
Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6665
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the EL-35616 - kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal
deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center. Use EL-35616 - kit to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use EL-35616 - kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
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/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly
different between a known good terminal and the
suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient
current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to
test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System

* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of
electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc.-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc.-These
accessories may create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would
disappear when the accessory is not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Checking Aftermarket Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are
already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (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 Ohms position.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry >
Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6667
4. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a
short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Digital Multimeter (DMM) Basic Requirements
Service information is validated using digital multimeters that meet or exceed the following
requirements. Using a multimeter that does not meet these basic requirements may give inaccurate
readings which could lead to an incorrect diagnosis.
Display and Settings
1. Four digits displayed 2. Voltage, current, resistance, frequency, diode test settings, and min-max
function 3. Display positive and negative values
Voltage
1. Have at least 10 Mohm input impedance 2. Test a DC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V. 3. Test an
AC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V.
Current
1. Test a DC current range of 0.1 µA-10 A. 2. Test an AC current range of 0.1 µA-10 A.
Resistance
Test a resistance range of 0.1 ohm-40 Mohm and displays infinite for a value greater than 40
Mohm (O.L. (Over-load))
Frequency
Test for a frequency range of 0.5 Hz-199 k Hz
Diode Test
1. Apply at least 1 mA when performing the diode bias test 2. Display the break over voltage drop
(0-3 V) of a forward biased diode

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry >
Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6668
3. Display infinite (O.L. (Over-load)) when a diode is reverse biased
Min-Max Readings
1. Can update at a 25 ms sample rate 2. Saves and displays minimum and maximum values
Note: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the engine control module
(ECM), should only be tested with a 10 MOhms or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the
EL-39200.
The DMM instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM.
This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Probing Electrical Connectors).
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Special Tools
EL 35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit , ensure the terminal test
adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal
test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal
in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the
EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the EL-38125-580
GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view
for terminal size.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. 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
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 a 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 if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 Digital Multimeter (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 gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the
sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on
GMLAN connectors and terminals.
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A terminated lead can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the appropriate connector
repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must
obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and
EL-38125-10 - tool. For wiring repair, refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.

Note: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration would be
any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and turbocharged
engines.
Items Required
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* Terminated leads or pigtails
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or
larger gauge size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape
that you remove during the repair.
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing.
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Note: High temperature areas would be areas located near exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

Note: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals.
Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. Terminated leads can be
used to replace damaged terminals when replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must
obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
* EL-38125-10 - Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except Tefzel
and coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there is special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 to regional wiring gauge size.
- 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the
length of wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink

tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
6. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp
tool has four nests, one for each color.
7. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
8. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 9. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4, 6 and 15 for the opposite end of the splice.

10. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 11. Start in the middle and
gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:
1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 2. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 3. Gradually move the heat from
the center 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.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
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 seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

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 instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 ohm in a ground or low reference circuit they are not
recommended to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the
circuit is good when there is as much as 20-30 ohm present, while a high impedance test lamp can
light with up to 200 ohm present in the circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used
when validating a ground or low reference circuit continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low
reference continuity testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test
can fail on a good circuit. This may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component
replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM
continuity reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a
ground or low reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal,
will have the highest risk of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground
reference point. The best ground test points would be a control module housing (if the control
modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal
frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than where the negative battery cable is
attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 ohm with
the ignition ON, and drop to 15-25 ohm after the ignition is turned OFF. The reading will drop below
10 ohm after 30-40 seconds, then below 5 ohm after 60 seconds. Once the vehicle completely
goes to sleep (generally 3-10 minutes) the reading will drop below 0.3 ohm.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground
or low reference circuit:
* Ignition OFF
* Key out of the ignition switch (when not equipped with keyless entry and remote start)
* Retained Accessory Power (RAP) OFF (open and close the driver door after ignition OFF)
* Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
* Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be
disconnected from the DLC)
* All entry doors closed
* Headlamps OFF (auto headlamps disabled)
* Any delay lighting OFF
* HVAC after blow OFF
* Any accessory that can work when the ignition is OFF
* Wait up to 60 seconds (after all other listed conditions are met)
Activating the DOOR LOCK function with a key fob can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid
ground or low reference continuity test result.

Note: Not using the proper test kit probe may cause damage to the terminal(s) that are probed.
2. Determine if a terminal is damaged.
* Locate the diagnostic probe tool from the connector end view. The connector end view describes
the color and part number to help the technician find and use the correct tool.
* Connect the probe tool to the Digital Multimeter.
* Insert the probe tool into the cavity and follow the procedures from the Troubleshooting with a
Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with a Digital
Multimeter).
3. Disconnect the connector body to perform the repair. 4. Use the following procedure to remove
the terminal from the connector body.
Note: Several procedures for specific connector bodies are called out in the Wiring Repairs section.
* The terminal position assurance (TPA) and connector position assurance (CPA) should be
removed before releasing the terminal for the connector body.
* Look at the connector end view to locate the cavity of the damaged terminal and find the proper
terminal release tool from the terminal release tool kit.
Note: Using the incorrect terminal release tool can damage the connector body.
Note: Some terminals have a lever that must be disengaged before the terminal can be released.
* Insert the terminal release tool into the cavity.
5. Gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. 6. Repair the terminal by following the
Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminated Lead Repair) (See: General Electrical Diagnostic

Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used
throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures up to 150°C. The length of the wire is
450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop

USB Radio and MP3 Functionality
The universal serial bus (USB) will be a USB 2.0 port on the radio faceplate, on the IP or in the
center console. This interface will give the customer the additional functionality of iPod(R)/MP3
command and control. Customers now have full radio control of the iPod/MP3 audio files via the
USB cable. A single USB connection allows digital audio transferring from the iPod to the radio.
The iPod will be charging while connected to the radio. The customer will also have playback
capability with a USB memory stick (only MP3 and WMA files).
Note
Not all memory sticks are supported.
Note
Video from the iPod is NOT capable of being transferred to a Navigation radio display.
Problems with iPod Not Connecting
If the infotainment system does not operate properly when using a device connected through the
USB port, this may be due to an incompatible media device.
Important DO NOT replace the radio or multimedia interface module due to a customer device
incompatibility issue.
Verify the customer's media device is validated for this system using the list below. If the
customer's device is a validated device for this system, follow the SI diagnostic procedure to isolate
the fault. If the customer's device is not on the validated device list, explain to the customer that
their particular unit is not compatible with the system.
Troubleshooting Tips for iPod Devices
1. Verify the version of the iPod/MP3 to confirm that it is supported. 2. Unplug and re-insert the
iPod to verify the customer concern. 3. Verify the battery charge of the iPod. A low battery condition
on the iPod may not allow it to connect to the radio. The iPod may need to be
charged before it can be controlled by the radio.
4. If the customer receives a "Device Not Supported" message on their radio or is having general
iPod/MP3 connection issues (and they have a
supported device), they may need to reset their iPod. To reset the iPod: -
For the iPod nano(R) and iPod classic(R), toggle the Hold switch on and off (slide it to Hold, then
turn it off again). Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the
Apple(R) logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
- For the iPod touch(R) and iPhone(R): Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
until the red slider appears, then slide the slider.
5. For iPod touch and iPhone: To obtain full use capabilities of their device, it needs to be fully
powered up when connecting to the USB port. If
these devices are fully powered down or in "sleep" mode, please advise the customer to press and
hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the device for a few seconds and if an unlock pass code
is required, to enter the pass code as well as slide the lower "Unlock" slider.
6. Have the customer inspect their cable for quality.

- Aftermarket cables can wear from use. The customer may need to purchase a new USB cable.
- Verify that cable extensions are not present. The extra capacitance may cause too large a signal
drop for the iPod to communicate with the radio.
7. If the customer receives a "Device Not Supported" message on their radio with an iPod
connected (and they have a supported device), the
customer may need to download the latest firmware from the Apple website (Please visit
www.apple.com for more information).
Validated Apple Device - Both Charge/Support Digital Audio
Important None of these device lists below support video.
Important Not all iPhone functions are fully supported.
For further information on identifying iPod models, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353.
Important These devices (and additional MP3 players) may be capable of connecting to the other
USB options by internally setting the MP3 device to mass storage class (MSC) mode. In this mode,
the USB port will see the device as a flash drive. Please have the customer refer to their MP3
device manual on how to set the device to MSC. If the device is not able to be set to MSC, the
customer must use the AUX jack.
Note
MTP mode must be used in order to transfer ANY Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected

Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration
Calibration Criteria
Note: Do not apply the brake pedal during the brake pedal position sensor calibration procedure.
Any movement of the brake pedal during this procedure will cause the calibration procedure to fail.
If this occurs, the brake pedal position sensor calibration must be repeated.
Brake pedal position sensor calibration must be performed after the brake pedal position sensor or
body control module (BCM) have been serviced. The calibration procedure will set the brake pedal
position sensor home value. This value is used by the BCM to determine the action of the driver
applying the brake system and to provide this information to the vehicle subsystems via serial data.
Calibration Procedure
1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Place the transmission in the PARK position. 3. Install a scan tool. 4.
Navigate to the Module Diagnosis menu. 5. Clear all BCM DTCs before proceeding. 6. Navigate to
the Configuration/Reset Functions menu of the BCM. 7. Select Brake Pedal Position Sensor Learn.
8. Select the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Learn procedure and follow the directions displayed on
the screen.

Compact Disc Player (CD): Procedures
Compact Disc Care and Cleaning
Care of CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD
is damaged, such as cracked, broken, scratched, or wrinkled labeling, the CD will not play properly
or not at all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth
in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge. Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it. This
could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and
the outer edge.
Care of CD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CD players is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the
internal lens of the CD optics with lubricants.
Stuck CDs
Interrupting the battery power by pulling the fuse will sometimes release a stuck CD. If a CD is
stuck, and removed, inspect it for warps, cracks, etc. If the CD is damaged, do not replace the
radio.
Labelling CDs
Paper labels can eventually warp and wrinkle, and this will cause the disc to jam inside the CD
player. Try labeling the top of the discs with a soft magic marker instead.

Subject: Intermittent No Crank/No Start, No Module Communication, MIL, Warning Lights, Vehicle
Messages or DTCs Set by Various Control Modules - Diagnosing and Repairing Fretting Corrosion
(Disconnect Affected Connector and Apply Dielectric Lubricant)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
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.

- Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR)
- Transmission Control Module (TCM)
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).

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.

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

M8 Weld Nut
Caution
Use only the GM-approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
1. If the M8 weld nut electrical ground location is accessible from both sides of the panel, a M8
conductive bolt and a M8 conductive nut may be
used to secure the electrical ground wire terminal. Refer to the Parts Information section of this
bulletin.
2. Select a location adjacent the M8 weld nut having 20 mm (0.79 in) clearance behind the panel
surface and 20 mm (0.79 in) clearance surrounding
the new electrical ground site.
3. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, remove any grease from the surface
surrounding the ground location and allow to dry.
Note Ensure 20 mm (0.79 in) clearance is maintained behind the panel to be drilled.
4. Drill a 10 mm (0.40 in) diameter hole through the panel. 5. Remove paint and primer from the
area surrounding the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole until bare metal is visible. 6. Select a M8 conductive
bolt. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin. 7. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M8 conductive bolt.
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.
8. Carefully remove ANY corrosion or contamination that may be present on the electrical ground
wire terminal. 9. Install the electrical ground wire terminal and the M8 conductive bolt to the ground
location.
10. Select a M8 conductive nut. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin. 11. Install the
M8 conductive nut to the bolt and:
Tighten Tighten to 22 Nm (16 lb ft).
Note The repair area MUST BE properly refinished to maintain a secure, stable and corrosion-free
electrical ground.
12. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and
Repair in SI. 13. Verify proper system operation.
M8 Weld Nut Alternative Repair
Caution
Use only the GM-approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
1. If the M8 weld nut electrical ground location is not accessible from both sides of the panel, a M6
conductive rivet stud and a M6 conductive nut
may be used to secure the electrical ground wire terminal.
2. Select a location adjacent the damaged M8 weld nut 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.
3. 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.

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.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model information and parts ordering
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-08-110-008B (Section 08 - Body and
Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver and/or passenger side windshield garnish molding is
loose, has a gap at the top or is falling off.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the garnish molding retaining clips not fully engaging or not being
replaced at a previous service event. The tether clip is a "one time only" use clip. The clip is not
designed for multiple cycles of engaging and releasing.
Caution
Whenever the windshield side garnish molding is removed or replaced, the upper retaining clip and
tether must be replaced with a new service retainer clip. Failure to replace the clip may cause the
windshield side garnish molding to not fit or function as designed. Do not reuse the old clip - it is a
one time only use design. Do not separate the two halves of the service retainer clip.
Correction
Important Do not replace the windshield garnish molding assembly if it is not affected. The upper
tether fastener is available as a service part. Replace only the fastener as instructed in the bulletin
procedure.
Use the following steps to install the new service garnish molding upper retaining clip.
1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI.

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

SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer to SIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations).
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose air bags to temperatures above 65°C (149°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 92 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any air bag
* Driver steering wheel air bag coil
* Any impact sensor
* Seat belt anchor and/or retractor pretensioners
* Passenger presence module and/or occupant sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note: The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Restraint Systems/Air Bag
Systems/Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams) or Electrical Center Identification Views (See:
Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse/Application and ID).

* 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.

Special Tools
EL-35616-200 - Test Light - Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A Digital Multimeter
(DMM) should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The EL-35616-200 - kit is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an
attached pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.

Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J-25070 - Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J-25070 - heat
gun.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7560
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. In addition, circuit cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

A 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. To record a snapshot in GDS, select,
Record Snapshot, from the options at the top right portion of any of the various pages that allow
snapshots to be taken (e.g. Data Display, Control Functions, etc.). When you are finished
recording, select, Stop Snapshot recording. The snapshot will now be available for replay.
Snapshot Replay
The Snapshot Replay function allows reviews of previously recorded vehicle snapshot data. This
information can be used in analysis of vehicle problems and detection of trigger error conditions.
The graph function can be used to compare parameters to see if a component is functioning
properly. Recorded snapshots can be selected for viewing by the following three methods:
* Selecting a snapshot file from the Vehicle Home Page and clicking on the Review selection.
* Double clicking on the selected snapshot from the Vehicle Home Page.
* Entering the Tools selection from the Menu selection and selecting Snapshot replay. Next, open
the Snapshot Manager. Double click on the snapshot file you wish to view or click on the Load
Snapshot selection and select a snapshot file.
Regardless of selection method, a File Loaded pop-up window will be displayed from the Snapshot
Replay screen. Select OK from the pop-up window.
Snapshot Play Functions
There are several snapshot play functions that are used to replay recorded snapshots
* The Play function is used to play the snapshot forward by clicking on this selection. A marker will
move across the screen when this selection is used. All selections in this area turn grey when they
are active.
* The Pause function is used to pause play of the snapshot. When this selection is clicked a
second time the snapshot will start playing where it left off.
* The Stop function is used to stop playing the snapshot. The snapshot will start from the
beginning, if Play is selected after using the Stop function.
Time Control
Time control is used to control the snapshot replay. This function allows selection of a specific time
frame, display of different views, and control of display speed. The following functions can be
selected directly under Time Control.
* The Bookmark selection allows you to add a specific comment in the current display and return to
this point in the future. When this option is selected, a pop-up window is displayed. Enter a
bookmark name and select OK.
* The Note Pad can be selected to add comments to the snapshot replay file at the current point of
time. When this option is selected, a pop-up window is displayed. Enter a comment for the
snapshot file and select OK.
* The Load Snapshot (blue folder) opens a snapshot file and makes it ready for further analysis.
This function is also available by clicking on an available snapshot file from the Snapshot Manager.
* The Down Arrow displays all Time Control options when selected. Individual options can also be
selected by clicking on the item you want.
* The Snapshot Display Speed can be controlled by selecting this option. Slow speeds of 1/8X,
1/4X, and 1/2X can be selected. The real time speed can also be selected at 1. Faster speeds of
2X, 4X, and 8X can also be obtained by using this selection.
View Selections
Each View Selection provides a different way of displaying vehicle data for analysis. The following
functions can be selected under Available Views:
Note: The parameter name will be shown in the original language used for capture if no translation
is available for the name.
* Parameter List View - Displays incoming information from the snapshot file. The current value of
the parameters is displayed on the screen.

Testing for Continuity
Testing for Continuity
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Special Tools
EL-39200 - Digital Multimeter
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Short to Ground)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Continuity)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for a Short to
Voltage)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the
EL-39200 - digital multimeter (DMM). This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without
having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the DMM can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a
suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7566
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with
a Digital Multimeter) for information on connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Select the voltage range feature of the DMM in
order to select the desired voltage range.
Note: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep). 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection,
either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value. 9. Determine the
difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
EL-35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. 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 pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7567
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the EL-35616 - kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal
deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center. Use EL-35616 - kit to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use EL-35616 - kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
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/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly
different between a known good terminal and the
suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient
current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to
test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7568
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of
electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc.-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc.-These
accessories may create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would
disappear when the accessory is not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Checking Aftermarket Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are
already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (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 Ohms position.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7569
4. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a
short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.

Digital Multimeter (DMM) Basic Requirements
Service information is validated using digital multimeters that meet or exceed the following
requirements. Using a multimeter that does not meet these basic requirements may give inaccurate
readings which could lead to an incorrect diagnosis.

Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7570
3. Display infinite (O.L. (Over-load)) when a diode is reverse biased
Min-Max Readings
1. Can update at a 25 ms sample rate 2. Saves and displays minimum and maximum values
Note: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the engine control module
(ECM), should only be tested with a 10 MOhms or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the
EL-39200.
The DMM instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM.
This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Probing Electrical Connectors).
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Special Tools
EL 35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit , ensure the terminal test
adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal
test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal
in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the
EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the EL-38125-580

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7587
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7588
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.
* FCI connectors may have the FCI logo on their connectors. The logo is the letters FCI with an "A"
above it.

Terminal Removal Procedure
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7599
The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you
have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector
uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second
design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.
1. Disconnect the connector from the component.

Micro-Pack 100W Size Terminal
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on

2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.
Micro 0.64 Size Terminal
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J-38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J-38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp

both the wire and the insulation at the same time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases.

7. Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. 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
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 a 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 if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 Digital Multimeter (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 gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the
sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on
GMLAN connectors and terminals.
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A terminated lead can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the appropriate connector
repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must
obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and
EL-38125-10 - tool. For wiring repair, refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7680
Note: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration would be
any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and turbocharged
engines.
Items Required
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* Terminated leads or pigtails
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or
larger gauge size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape
that you remove during the repair.
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing.
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Note: High temperature areas would be areas located near exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low resistance contact integrity for
these sensitive, low energy circuits.
The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the
specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components,
such as connectors and terminals.
SIR/SRS Connector Repair (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin)
Note: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals.
Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. Terminated leads can be
used to replace damaged terminals when replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
* EL-38125-10 - Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except Tefzel
and coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there is special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 to regional wiring gauge size.
- 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the
length of wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7683
tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
6. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp
tool has four nests, one for each color.
7. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
8. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 9. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4, 6 and 15 for the opposite end of the splice.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7684
10. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 11. Start in the middle and
gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:
1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 2. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 3. Gradually move the heat from
the center 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.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
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 seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

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 instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 ohm in a ground or low reference circuit they are not
recommended to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the
circuit is good when there is as much as 20-30 ohm present, while a high impedance test lamp can
light with up to 200 ohm present in the circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used
when validating a ground or low reference circuit continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low
reference continuity testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test
can fail on a good circuit. This may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component
replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM
continuity reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a
ground or low reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal,
will have the highest risk of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground
reference point. The best ground test points would be a control module housing (if the control
modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal
frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than where the negative battery cable is
attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 ohm with
the ignition ON, and drop to 15-25 ohm after the ignition is turned OFF. The reading will drop below
10 ohm after 30-40 seconds, then below 5 ohm after 60 seconds. Once the vehicle completely
goes to sleep (generally 3-10 minutes) the reading will drop below 0.3 ohm.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground
or low reference circuit:
* Ignition OFF
* Key out of the ignition switch (when not equipped with keyless entry and remote start)
* Retained Accessory Power (RAP) OFF (open and close the driver door after ignition OFF)
* Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
* Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be
disconnected from the DLC)
* All entry doors closed
* Headlamps OFF (auto headlamps disabled)
* Any delay lighting OFF
* HVAC after blow OFF
* Any accessory that can work when the ignition is OFF
* Wait up to 60 seconds (after all other listed conditions are met)
Activating the DOOR LOCK function with a key fob can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid
ground or low reference continuity test result.

* Look at the connector end view to locate the cavity of the damaged terminal and find the proper
terminal release tool from the terminal release tool kit.
Note: Using the incorrect terminal release tool can damage the connector body.
Note: Some terminals have a lever that must be disengaged before the terminal can be released.
* Insert the terminal release tool into the cavity.
5. Gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. 6. Repair the terminal by following the
Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminated Lead Repair) (See: General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminated Lead
Repair))Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminal Repair) ( See: General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminal Repair)) procedure.
7. Insert the repaired terminal back into the cavity. Repeat the diagnostic procedure to verify the
repair and reconnect the connector bodies.

* J-38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* EL-35616 - Connector Test Adapter Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and

Note: All repairs near the engine manifold, turbo engine and all exhaust pipes should follow the
High Temperature Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/High Temperature Wiring

Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used
throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures up to 150°C. The length of the wire is
450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop

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

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

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

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
EL-35616-200 - Test Light - Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A Digital Multimeter
(DMM) should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The EL-35616-200 - kit is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an
attached pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.

Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J-25070 - Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J-25070 - heat
gun.

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. In addition, circuit cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Special Tools
EL-39200 - Digital Multimeter
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Short to Ground)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Continuity)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for a Short to
Voltage)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the
EL-39200 - digital multimeter (DMM). This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without
having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the DMM can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a
suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7897
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with
a Digital Multimeter) for information on connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Select the voltage range feature of the DMM in
order to select the desired voltage range.
Note: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep). 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection,
either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value. 9. Determine the
difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
EL-35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. 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 pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7898
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the EL-35616 - kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal
deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center. Use EL-35616 - kit to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use EL-35616 - kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
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/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly
different between a known good terminal and the
suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient
current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to
test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7899
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of
electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc.-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc.-These
accessories may create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would
disappear when the accessory is not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Checking Aftermarket Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are
already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (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 Ohms position.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7900
4. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a
short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.

receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM.
This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Probing Electrical Connectors).
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Special Tools
EL 35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit , ensure the terminal test
adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal
test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal
in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the
EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the EL-38125-580
GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view
for terminal size.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

Information and Instructions > Page 7918
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.

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

Terminal Removal Procedure
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7930
The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you
have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector
uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second
design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.

Note: The first step for all terminal repairs is to find the connector end view in SI.
Cable Seal Terminals
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2.
Remove the old seal. 3. Apply the correct cable seal, per the wire gauge size, from the kit. Slide the
seal back along the wire to enable removal of the insulation. 4. To minimize wire loss, remove only
the insulation required. 5. Using the connector end view, determine the correct crimp tool and crimp
jaw. 6. Align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 7. Position the stripped wire and seal in
the terminal. 8. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 9. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the
seal and the cable.
10. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.
Unsealed Terminals
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2. To
minimize wire loss, remove only the insulation required. 3. Position the stripped wire in the terminal.
4. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 5. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the cable. 6. Solder
all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.
Micro-Pack 100W Size Terminal
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

Information and Instructions > Page 8006
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.
Micro 0.64 Size Terminal
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J-38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J-38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp

both the wire and the insulation at the same time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases.

7. Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. 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
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 a 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 if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 Digital Multimeter (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 gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the
sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on
GMLAN connectors and terminals.
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A terminated lead can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the appropriate connector
repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must
obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and
EL-38125-10 - tool. For wiring repair, refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8011
Note: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration would be
any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and turbocharged
engines.
Items Required
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* Terminated leads or pigtails
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or
larger gauge size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape
that you remove during the repair.
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing.
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Note: High temperature areas would be areas located near exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low resistance contact integrity for
these sensitive, low energy circuits.
The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the
specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components,
such as connectors and terminals.
SIR/SRS Connector Repair (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin)
Note: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals.
Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. Terminated leads can be
used to replace damaged terminals when replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
* EL-38125-10 - Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except Tefzel
and coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there is special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 to regional wiring gauge size.
- 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the
length of wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8014
tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
6. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp
tool has four nests, one for each color.
7. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
8. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 9. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4, 6 and 15 for the opposite end of the splice.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

Information and Instructions > Page 8015
10. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 11. Start in the middle and
gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:
1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 2. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 3. Gradually move the heat from
the center 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.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
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 seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

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 instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 ohm in a ground or low reference circuit they are not
recommended to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the
circuit is good when there is as much as 20-30 ohm present, while a high impedance test lamp can
light with up to 200 ohm present in the circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used
when validating a ground or low reference circuit continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low
reference continuity testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test
can fail on a good circuit. This may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component
replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM
continuity reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a
ground or low reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal,
will have the highest risk of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground
reference point. The best ground test points would be a control module housing (if the control
modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal
frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than where the negative battery cable is
attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 ohm with
the ignition ON, and drop to 15-25 ohm after the ignition is turned OFF. The reading will drop below
10 ohm after 30-40 seconds, then below 5 ohm after 60 seconds. Once the vehicle completely
goes to sleep (generally 3-10 minutes) the reading will drop below 0.3 ohm.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground
or low reference circuit:
* Ignition OFF
* Key out of the ignition switch (when not equipped with keyless entry and remote start)
* Retained Accessory Power (RAP) OFF (open and close the driver door after ignition OFF)
* Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
* Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be
disconnected from the DLC)
* All entry doors closed
* Headlamps OFF (auto headlamps disabled)
* Any delay lighting OFF
* HVAC after blow OFF
* Any accessory that can work when the ignition is OFF
* Wait up to 60 seconds (after all other listed conditions are met)
Activating the DOOR LOCK function with a key fob can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid
ground or low reference continuity test result.

3. Disconnect the connector body to perform the repair. 4. Use the following procedure to remove
the terminal from the connector body.
Note: Several procedures for specific connector bodies are called out in the Wiring Repairs section.
* The terminal position assurance (TPA) and connector position assurance (CPA) should be
removed before releasing the terminal for the connector body.
* Look at the connector end view to locate the cavity of the damaged terminal and find the proper
terminal release tool from the terminal release tool kit.
Note: Using the incorrect terminal release tool can damage the connector body.
Note: Some terminals have a lever that must be disengaged before the terminal can be released.
* Insert the terminal release tool into the cavity.
5. Gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. 6. Repair the terminal by following the

Special Tools
* EL-38125-10 - Splice Sleeve Crimp Tool
* EL-38125-580 - Terminal Release Tool Kit
* J-38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* EL-35616 - Connector Test Adapter Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and

Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used
throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures up to 150°C. The length of the wire is
450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop

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

* 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.

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
EL-35616-200 - Test Light - Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A Digital Multimeter
(DMM) should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The EL-35616-200 - kit is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an
attached pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.

Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J-25070 - Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J-25070 - heat
gun.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8078
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. In addition, circuit cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

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

Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Special Tools
EL-39200 - Digital Multimeter
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Short to Ground)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Continuity)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for a Short to
Voltage)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the
EL-39200 - digital multimeter (DMM). This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without
having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the DMM can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a
suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8084
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with
a Digital Multimeter) for information on connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Select the voltage range feature of the DMM in
order to select the desired voltage range.
Note: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep). 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection,
either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value. 9. Determine the
difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
EL-35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. 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 pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8085
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the EL-35616 - kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal
deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center. Use EL-35616 - kit to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use EL-35616 - kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
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/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly
different between a known good terminal and the
suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient
current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to
test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8086
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of
electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc.-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc.-These
accessories may create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would
disappear when the accessory is not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Checking Aftermarket Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are
already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (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 Ohms position.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8087
4. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a
short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.

Digital Multimeter (DMM) Basic Requirements
Service information is validated using digital multimeters that meet or exceed the following
requirements. Using a multimeter that does not meet these basic requirements may give inaccurate
readings which could lead to an incorrect diagnosis.

Diode Test
1. Apply at least 1 mA when performing the diode bias test 2. Display the break over voltage drop
(0-3 V) of a forward biased diode
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8088
3. Display infinite (O.L. (Over-load)) when a diode is reverse biased
Min-Max Readings
1. Can update at a 25 ms sample rate 2. Saves and displays minimum and maximum values
Note: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the engine control module
(ECM), should only be tested with a 10 MOhms or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the
EL-39200.
The DMM instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM.
This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Probing Electrical Connectors).
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a

Special Tools
EL 35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit , ensure the terminal test
adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal
test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal
in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the
EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the EL-38125-580
GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view
for terminal size.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8105
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram

Terminal Removal Procedure
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8117
The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you
have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector
uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second
design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.
1. Disconnect the connector from the component.

Note: The first step for all terminal repairs is to find the connector end view in SI.
Cable Seal Terminals
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2.
Remove the old seal. 3. Apply the correct cable seal, per the wire gauge size, from the kit. Slide the
seal back along the wire to enable removal of the insulation. 4. To minimize wire loss, remove only
the insulation required. 5. Using the connector end view, determine the correct crimp tool and crimp
jaw. 6. Align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 7. Position the stripped wire and seal in
the terminal. 8. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 9. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the
seal and the cable.
10. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.
Unsealed Terminals
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2. To
minimize wire loss, remove only the insulation required. 3. Position the stripped wire in the terminal.
4. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 5. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the cable. 6. Solder
all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.
Micro-Pack 100W Size Terminal
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on

Information and Instructions > Page 8193
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.
Micro 0.64 Size Terminal
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J-38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J-38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp

both the wire and the insulation at the same time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases.

7. Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. 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
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 a 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 if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 Digital Multimeter (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 gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the
sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on
GMLAN connectors and terminals.
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A terminated lead can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the appropriate connector
repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must
obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and
EL-38125-10 - tool. For wiring repair, refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.

Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8198
Note: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration would be
any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and turbocharged
engines.
Items Required
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* Terminated leads or pigtails
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or
larger gauge size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape
that you remove during the repair.
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing.
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Note: High temperature areas would be areas located near exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low resistance contact integrity for
these sensitive, low energy circuits.
The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the
specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components,
such as connectors and terminals.
SIR/SRS Connector Repair (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin)
Note: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals.
Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. Terminated leads can be
used to replace damaged terminals when replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
* EL-38125-10 - Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except Tefzel
and coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there is special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 to regional wiring gauge size.
- 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the
length of wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8201
tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
6. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp
tool has four nests, one for each color.
7. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
8. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 9. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4, 6 and 15 for the opposite end of the splice.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

Information and Instructions > Page 8202
10. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 11. Start in the middle and
gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:
1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 2. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 3. Gradually move the heat from
the center 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.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
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 seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

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 instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 ohm in a ground or low reference circuit they are not
recommended to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the
circuit is good when there is as much as 20-30 ohm present, while a high impedance test lamp can
light with up to 200 ohm present in the circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used
when validating a ground or low reference circuit continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low
reference continuity testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test
can fail on a good circuit. This may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component
replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM
continuity reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a
ground or low reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal,
will have the highest risk of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground
reference point. The best ground test points would be a control module housing (if the control
modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal
frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than where the negative battery cable is
attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 ohm with
the ignition ON, and drop to 15-25 ohm after the ignition is turned OFF. The reading will drop below
10 ohm after 30-40 seconds, then below 5 ohm after 60 seconds. Once the vehicle completely
goes to sleep (generally 3-10 minutes) the reading will drop below 0.3 ohm.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground
or low reference circuit:
* Ignition OFF
* Key out of the ignition switch (when not equipped with keyless entry and remote start)
* Retained Accessory Power (RAP) OFF (open and close the driver door after ignition OFF)
* Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
* Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be
disconnected from the DLC)
* All entry doors closed
* Headlamps OFF (auto headlamps disabled)
* Any delay lighting OFF
* HVAC after blow OFF
* Any accessory that can work when the ignition is OFF
* Wait up to 60 seconds (after all other listed conditions are met)
Activating the DOOR LOCK function with a key fob can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid
ground or low reference continuity test result.

Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used
throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures up to 150°C. The length of the wire is
450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop

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

Seat Heater: Description and Operation
Heated Seats Description and Operation
Heated Seat Components
The driver and passenger heated seats consist of the following components:
* Left heated seat switch
* Right heated seat switch
* HVAC control
* Seat heating control module
* Driver seat cushion heating element
* Driver seat back heating element
* Driver seat cushion temperature sensor
* Passenger seat cushion heating element
* Passenger seat back heating element
* Passenger seat cushion temperature sensor
Power and Ground
Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the seat heating control module through a 30 A
fuse located in the underhood fuse block. This voltage is used by the module to supply power to
the seat heating elements. Ground for the module is provided at G307.
Heated Seat Operation
The driver and passenger heated seats are controlled by a single seat heating control module that
is located under the driver seat cushion. Both heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat
switches that are located in the HVAC control. When a heated seat switch is pressed, a serial data
message is sent from the HVAC control to the HVAC control module indicating the heated seat
command. The HVAC control module then serves as a gateway to transmit the message to the
seat heating control module via the serial data line. In response to this signal, the seat heating
control module applies battery positive voltage through the element supply voltage circuit to the
appropriate seat heating elements. The seat heating control module then sends a serial data
message back to the HVAC control module to gateway the information to the HVAC control to
either illuminate or turn off the appropriate temperature indicator.
Temperature Regulation
When the engine ON, the heated seats will initialize in the OFF state. With each activation of the
heated seat switch, the seat heating control module will cycle the temperature setting in the
following manner: HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, and OFF.
The seat heating control module monitors the seat temperature through the temperature sensor
signal circuit and the temperature sensor (thermistor) that is located in the seat cushion. The
temperature sensor is a variable resistor, it's resistance changes as the temperature of the seat
changes. When the temperature sensor resistance indicates to the seat heating control module that
the seat has reached the desired temperature, the module opens the ground path of the seat
heating elements through the heated seat element control circuit. The module will then cycle the
element control circuit open and closed in order to maintain the desired temperature.
Load Management
The electrical power management function is designed to monitor the vehicle electrical load and
determine when the battery is potentially in a high discharge condition. The heated seat system is
one of the vehicle loads that is subject to reduction during a battery discharge condition. For more
information on load management refer to Electrical Power Management Description and Operation
(See: Starting and Charging/Description and Operation/Electrical Power Management).

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The driver and passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches that are
located in the HVAC control. When a heated seat switch is pressed, a serial data message is sent
from the HVAC control to the HVAC control module indicating the heated seat command. The
HVAC control module then serves as a gateway to transmit the message to the seat heating
control module via the serial data line. In response to this message, the seat heating control
module applies battery positive voltage through the element supply voltage circuit to the
appropriate seat heating elements. The seat heating control module then sends a serial data
message back to the HVAC control module to gateway the information to the HVAC control to
either illuminate or turn off the appropriate temperature indicator.

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

EL-35616-200 - Test Light - Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A Digital Multimeter
(DMM) should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The EL-35616-200 - kit is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an
attached pair of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where
voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the
circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point
being tested.

Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J-25070 - Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J-25070 - heat
gun.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8385
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. In addition, circuit cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Special Tools
EL-39200 - Digital Multimeter
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
* Testing for Short to Ground (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Short to Ground)
* Testing for Continuity (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Continuity)
* Testing for a Short to Voltage (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for a Short to
Voltage)
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the
EL-39200 - digital multimeter (DMM). This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without
having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the DMM can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a
suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8391
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Troubleshooting with
a Digital Multimeter) for information on connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Select the voltage range feature of the DMM in
order to select the desired voltage range.
Note: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep). 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection,
either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value. 9. Determine the
difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
EL-35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff
sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. 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 pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8392
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the EL-35616 - kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal
deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center. Use EL-35616 - kit to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use EL-35616 - kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
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/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly
different between a known good terminal and the
suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient
current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to
test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8393
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of
electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc.-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc.-These
accessories may create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would
disappear when the accessory is not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Checking Aftermarket Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Note: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are
already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (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 Ohms position.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8394
4. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a
short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.

Digital Multimeter (DMM) Basic Requirements
Service information is validated using digital multimeters that meet or exceed the following
requirements. Using a multimeter that does not meet these basic requirements may give inaccurate
readings which could lead to an incorrect diagnosis.
Display and Settings

1. Have at least 10 Mohm input impedance 2. Test a DC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V. 3. Test an
AC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V.
Current
1. Test a DC current range of 0.1 µA-10 A. 2. Test an AC current range of 0.1 µA-10 A.
Resistance
Test a resistance range of 0.1 ohm-40 Mohm and displays infinite for a value greater than 40
Mohm (O.L. (Over-load))
Frequency
Test for a frequency range of 0.5 Hz-199 k Hz
Diode Test
1. Apply at least 1 mA when performing the diode bias test 2. Display the break over voltage drop
(0-3 V) of a forward biased diode
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8395
3. Display infinite (O.L. (Over-load)) when a diode is reverse biased
Min-Max Readings
1. Can update at a 25 ms sample rate 2. Saves and displays minimum and maximum values
Note: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the engine control module
(ECM), should only be tested with a 10 MOhms or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the
EL-39200.
The DMM instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM.
This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Probing Electrical Connectors).
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Special Tools
EL 35616 - Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit , ensure the terminal test
adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal
test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal
in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8412
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8413
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.
* FCI connectors may have the FCI logo on their connectors. The logo is the letters FCI with an "A"
above it.

Terminal Removal Procedure
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8424
The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you
have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector
uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second
design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.

Cable Seal Terminals
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2.
Remove the old seal. 3. Apply the correct cable seal, per the wire gauge size, from the kit. Slide the
seal back along the wire to enable removal of the insulation. 4. To minimize wire loss, remove only
the insulation required. 5. Using the connector end view, determine the correct crimp tool and crimp
jaw. 6. Align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 7. Position the stripped wire and seal in
the terminal. 8. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 9. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the
seal and the cable.
10. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.
Unsealed Terminals
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to minimize any wire loss. 2. To
minimize wire loss, remove only the insulation required. 3. Position the stripped wire in the terminal.
4. Hand Crimp the core wings first. 5. Hand Crimp the insulation wings around the cable. 6. Solder
all of the hand crimp terminals except the Micro-Pack 100 and 0.64 sizes.
Micro-Pack 100W Size Terminal
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))

the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.
Micro 0.64 Size Terminal

both the wire and the insulation at the same time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases.

7. Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. 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

Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
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 a 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 if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

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 Digital Multimeter (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 gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the
sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on
GMLAN connectors and terminals.
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A terminated lead can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the appropriate connector
repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair procedure.
GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs in the service information connector end views or the vehicle
schematics in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must
obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and
EL-38125-10 - tool. For wiring repair, refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
* Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
* Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
* Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
* To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.

Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8505
Note: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration would be
any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and turbocharged
engines.
Items Required
* DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections
* High temperature SCT1 shrink tubing to protect the splice sleeves
* Terminated leads or pigtails
* The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors
Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature of the same or
larger gauge size as the original wire when repair damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape
that you remove during the repair.
High Temperature Wiring
Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical
wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:
* Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any
damaged wire.
* Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
* Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing.
* After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat
source.
Identifying High Temperature Wiring
Note: High temperature areas would be areas located near exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.
Wiring that is exposed to high temperature, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time
need special considerations when making wiring repairs. Areas that may be exposed to higher
temperatures can be identified by heat resistant materials that are being used in those areas.
These materials may include heat reflective tape, moon tape, and high temperature shrink tubing.
Also conduit and other protective coverings may be used. Because conduit or similar coverings are
used throughout the vehicle regardless of the temperature, it may be necessary for the technician
to determine if an area is exposed to excessive heat before making a wiring repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low resistance contact integrity for
these sensitive, low energy circuits.
The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the
specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components,
such as connectors and terminals.
SIR/SRS Connector Repair (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin)
Note: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals.
Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. Terminated leads can be
used to replace damaged terminals when replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Special Tools
* EL-38125-10 - Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 - Ultra Torch
* DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except Tefzel
and coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there is special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 to regional wiring gauge size.
- 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the
length of wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8508
tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
6. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp
tool has four nests, one for each color.
7. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
8. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 9. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4, 6 and 15 for the opposite end of the splice.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8509
10. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 11. Start in the middle and
gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:
1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 2. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 3. Gradually move the heat from
the center 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.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
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 seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate service manual wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed.
Note: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode
attachment points with tape.
9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape.

splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Testing Ground and Low Reference Circuits
Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 ohm in a ground or low reference circuit they are not
recommended to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the
circuit is good when there is as much as 20-30 ohm present, while a high impedance test lamp can
light with up to 200 ohm present in the circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used
when validating a ground or low reference circuit continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low
reference continuity testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test
can fail on a good circuit. This may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component
replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM
continuity reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a
ground or low reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal,
will have the highest risk of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground
reference point. The best ground test points would be a control module housing (if the control
modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal
frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than where the negative battery cable is
attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 ohm with
the ignition ON, and drop to 15-25 ohm after the ignition is turned OFF. The reading will drop below
10 ohm after 30-40 seconds, then below 5 ohm after 60 seconds. Once the vehicle completely
goes to sleep (generally 3-10 minutes) the reading will drop below 0.3 ohm.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground
or low reference circuit:
* Ignition OFF
* Key out of the ignition switch (when not equipped with keyless entry and remote start)
* Retained Accessory Power (RAP) OFF (open and close the driver door after ignition OFF)
* Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
* Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be
disconnected from the DLC)
* All entry doors closed
* Headlamps OFF (auto headlamps disabled)
* Any delay lighting OFF
* HVAC after blow OFF
* Any accessory that can work when the ignition is OFF
* Wait up to 60 seconds (after all other listed conditions are met)
Activating the DOOR LOCK function with a key fob can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid
ground or low reference continuity test result.

* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop

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

SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer to SIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations).
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose air bags to temperatures above 65°C (149°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 92 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any air bag
* Driver steering wheel air bag coil
* Any impact sensor
* Seat belt anchor and/or retractor pretensioners
* Passenger presence module and/or occupant sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.
Note: The SDM may have more than one fused power input. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR
deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove all fuses supplying power
to the SDM. With all SDM fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG
warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate a SIR system
malfunction.
3. Locate and remove the fuse(s) supplying power to the SDM. Refer to SIR Schematics (See:
Restraint Systems/Air Bag
Systems/Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams) or Electrical Center Identification Views (See:
Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse/Application and ID).

Door Ajar Indicator Description and Operation
Door Ajar Indicator System Components
The door ajar indicator system consists of the following components:
* Body control module (BCM)
* Instrument cluster
* Driver door latch
* Passenger door latch
* Left rear door latch
* Right rear door latch
* Driver window motor
* Passenger window switch
* Left rear window switch
* Right rear window switch
Driver Door Ajar
The driver window motor supplies a 12 volt signal to the door ajar switch within the door latch,
when the driver door is open the door ajar switch closes pulling the 12 volts signal low. When the
driver window motor detects the drop in the 12 volt signal circuit, it will then communicate this
status to the BCM via local interconnect network (LIN) bus. The BCM communicates with the
instrument cluster via serial data message. The instrument panel cluster, upon receipt of this serial
data message, will illuminate the driver door ajar indicator and also send a serial data message to
the radio to activate the door ajar audible warning when the vehicle speed is greater then 8 km/h (5
MPH).
All Passenger Doors Ajar
The passenger window motor, the left rear window switch and right rear window switches each
supplies a 12 volt signal to their respective door ajar switch within the door latch, when the a door
is open the door ajar switch closes pulling the 12 volts signal low. When the passenger window
motor, the left rear window switch or right rear window detects the drop in the 12 volt signal circuit,
it will then communicate this status to the BCM via local interconnect network (LIN) bus. The BCM
communicates with the instrument cluster via serial data message. The instrument panel cluster,
upon receipt of this serial data message, will illuminate the appropriate door ajar indicator and also
send a serial data message to the radio to activate the door ajar audible warning when the vehicle
speed is greater then 8 km/h (5 MPH).

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

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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Low Tire Pressure Indicator >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page
8553
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

Attention:
This bulletin applies to vehicles sold in the U.S. and Canada Only.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add information for the 2011 model year and add new
2011 vehicles. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-49-020C (Section 08 - Body and
Accessories).
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a reference guide to help identify which season odometer
programming method to use after replacing the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The three season
odometer programming methods in use today are listed below. In addition, this reference guide lists
the component where the season odometer value is stored. The season odometer value may be
stored in the IPC, the driver information center (DIC) or the integrated body control module (IBCM),
also commonly called a body control module (BCM).
Season Odometer Programming Methods in Use Today
1. IPC reprogramming and setup using the service programming system (SPS). 2. Odometer setup
at the electronic service center (ESC) when using an exchange IPC/DIC. 3. Tech 2(R) - The Tech 2
is used to set up a replacement BCM, which includes loading the odometer value that is displayed
and stored in the IPC. A
replacement IPC will display the previously stored vehicle odometer value, communicated from the
BCM, after cycling the ignition or driving the vehicle. *The odometer programming is integrated as
part of the BCM programming procedure. It is not a stand-alone event.

Engine Oil LIfe System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is
based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life
system to work properly, the system must be reset every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it indicates that an oil change is
necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON DIC message or Code 82 DIC message comes on.
Engine Oil Messages. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 mi). It is
possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system might indicate that an oil
change is not necessary for up to a year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a
year and, at this time, the system must be reset. It is also important to check the oil regularly over
the course of an oil drain interval and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) since the
last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
Reset the system whenever the engine oil is changed so that the system can calculate the next
engine oil change. To reset the system:
1. Using the DIC MENU button and thumbwheel, scroll until you reach REMAINING OIL LIFE on
the DIC (oil can symbol with % sign for
Canada).
2. Press the SET button to reset the oil life at 100%. When prompted, use the thumbwheel to
highlight YES or NO. Press the SET/CLEAR button to
confirm.
Be careful not to reset the oil life display accidentally at any time other than after the oil is changed.
It cannot be reset accurately.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON DIC message or Code 82 DIC message comes back on when
the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

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

up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
For more detailed information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 07-03-16-004C and TPMS
Training Course 13044.12T2.
Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.
Chevrolet Cruze Workshop Manual (L4-1.4L Turbo (2011))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Tire Monitoring System > Low Tire
Pressure Indicator > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System
Message/Service Tips > Page 8604
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

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

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
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.

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

Most exterior lamps on General Motors vehicles use a vented design and feature a replaceable

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

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

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.

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.

Contact/Tab Repair Information > Page 8885
3. Prepare the surface of the used defroster tab (not required for new tabs on new-style full-size
utility models) and the defroster buss bar with fine
grain (500 grit) sandpaper or Emery cloth. It is not necessary to remove all of the original solder,
but it should be scuffed sufficiently so that no oxidation is present. The photo above shows a close
up of a properly prepared surface.
Tip You may want to mask the glass around the contact area with tape. This is easy to do and will
allow you to safely prepare the contact surface without the risk of scratching the glass or the black
painted shading.
Important Most rear glass has a black painted masking around the edge of the glass. When
cleaning up the connection surface, be very careful not to damage the surface of the black shading
or the surface of the glass.
4. Wipe the newly prepared contact area with Kent Automotive* Acrysol(TM) (or equivalent) to
remove any residual oil or dirt.

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

positive styling feature of the vehicle interior, it is easy to elicit the opposite reaction due to a poor
cosmetic application.

Models:

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 driver and/or passenger side windshield garnish molding is
loose, has a gap at the top or is falling off.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the garnish molding retaining clips not fully engaging or not being
replaced at a previous service event. The tether clip is a "one time only" use clip. The clip is not
designed for multiple cycles of engaging and releasing.
Caution
Whenever the windshield side garnish molding is removed or replaced, the upper retaining clip and
tether must be replaced with a new service retainer clip. Failure to replace the clip may cause the
windshield side garnish molding to not fit or function as designed. Do not reuse the old clip - it is a
one time only use design. Do not separate the two halves of the service retainer clip.
Correction
Important Do not replace the windshield garnish molding assembly if it is not affected. The upper
tether fastener is available as a service part. Replace only the fastener as instructed in the bulletin
procedure.
Use the following steps to install the new service garnish molding upper retaining clip.
1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI.

Remove the molding from the vehicle.
6. Depress the tab holding the tether to the metal retainer and remove the tether.
7. Grip the metal retainer with a pair of needle nose pliers as shown. 8. Using a small screwdriver
in the hole in the clip, release the inner tab on the metal retainer.

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.

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.
